I contacted Mill Creek and they said the last season would be released at the end of 2009. I don't know what happens to the discs before the final season, after season three...maybe they will be out soon.
Anyway, a great show.
Did more research:
Alexander Gauge, who played Friar Tuck died in 1960 of an "overdose". He was 46. Sad. Seems most of the actors died in the 1990's. But it's nice to know that their work will live on for years to come, thanks to DVD's.

I hated when VHS replaced Beta but enjoied the price of vhs tapes. When DVD took the place of VHS tapes I started to feel the same way till I saw how much a person can get of shows that are not on tv any more. Robin Hood with Richard Greene is one of these. I saw these shows when I was a kid but saw very little of it after that. The first time I got to see it again was the peaced-togather shows on VHS of Robin Hood the Movie and Quest for the Crown. They were good in their own way but there is nothing like seeing the original episodes. I got the three seasons that Mill Creek put out and hope they put out the forth season soon. Mill Creek has done a good job on the DVD's from the picture to sound. There are no extras but that is not what I look for. I wish I could say it brings back memeries but all I can remenber is that I saw these shows and liked them then and that I still like seeing them now on DVD. If you think because it is in black & white it's not worth looking at you are missing out. The shows didn't stick to "rob from the rich-give to the poor" but took time to show the merry men having their own troubles. It didn't always show them singing,like the title song says, but it was always up beat. These DVD's are worth adding to any collecting. I also like the DVD sets because my daughter and granddaughters watch it with me and like the Adventures of Robin Hood.

Robin Hood's are just good old fashion shows! We have all the seasons and am sorry that there are no more.

No doubt. The Adventures of Robin Hood series is very enjoyable and good entertainment.

So after getting the first season a few years back, I heard the complete series was coming. I finally ordered it from Amazon, but sadly all 11 discs had scuffs and or scratches. Not acceptable for a new unopened DVD set. Found 2 sets of the same at a local store, but each had several damaged discs. Appeared to be a production and handling problem since the packages were sealed.

Then I considered ordering the seasons I do not have - 2, 3, and 4, to complete my collection. Prices on season 2 and 4 are reasonable., But could someone please explain why season 3 lists for $14.98, sells new for $43.73 or more, and sells used for $170.97? Is that an extreme example of low supply and high demand? Who would be crazy enough to by a used set for $170.97 when they could get a new one for $43.73, or the complete series today for $12.49? Maybe P.T. Barum or whoever really said "There's a sucker born every minute" was right.

Looks like I will keep trying to find a complete series set in new condition, if there is one to be found.

Thanks to Amazon for their solid return policy.

I have the first two season's . The video and sound on these are excellent, unlike a set I bought from eBay, poor sound and video. I watched these show's when they were first run on TV and they still are a joy to watch. Bring's back a much simpler time. I am looking forward for the forth and last season.

The Advenures of Robin Hood was one of my favorite shows. The quality of this set is very good and a lot shows for the money. I defintly recomend it.

When my husband and I were younger we enjoyed Robin Hood and always Richard Green. When we noticed that the old series was available through Amazon we decided to get as many seasons as was available and we have enjoyed them very much. The DVD's are clear and the price we paid for them reasonable. I purchased some from another source and have been very dissatisfied so will now stick to Amazon.

Great series I would highly recommend this to anyone. Made back when shows were genuinely funny and entertaining.

Each season just gets better. While a differant actress plays Maid Marion this season, she gets right into the role. Fun to watch.

I really like this series. There are 39 episodes for around $5-10. For the money you can't beat it. The English accents are entertaining. It's commercial-free. The theme song is great.

Cons: It's black and white cinematography. The plot is simple for each individual episode (we all know the main plot). Whoever produced the DVD did not put the episodes in the proper order (One character will die, and then appear for the very first time 3 episodes later).

There are over 100 episodes for the entire show, 39 per season.
