This set includes 4 disks with 2 shows per disk + 1, total of 7 episodes. The episodes are:

56 Military Bike 1 originally aired: 9/5/2005

57 Military Bike 2 originally aired: 9/12/2005

58 Yankees Bike 1 originally aired: 9/19/2005

59 Yankees Bike 2 originally aired: 9/26/2005

61 Space Shuttle Tribute Bike 2 originally aired: 10/10/2005

62 Rick's Dream Bike 1 originally aired: 10/17/2005

I believe these sets are privately produced by Amazon, definitely not by the Learning Channel's production company. This is a bare bones set. NO special features, not even a disk menu to choose episodes on each disk. Discovery did much better with seasons 1-3, these new sets leave much to be desired, and at around $5 per episode, the price is steep. Still fun if you want to have these episodes. Come on Learning/Discovery- you can do better than this!!!!!

The dvds are definitely manufactured by someone different than the first 3 seasons. The dvds are really bad in the fact that they are out of order on the disc (episode wise). I also had a disc arrive that did not even work. The best part is that the cheap producers did not use any anti-burning techniques, so you can burn / copy them all you want. Might save you some money if you don't want to pay the 30 bucks per set. I would ask around if I were you before buying.

On a good note, the show is still excellent and provides lots of entertainment. I love American Choppers. I just hope they choose a better company next time to release the dvds, just for their sake, because pirating is going to be an issue with seasons 4-5-6 (which I bought).

Where is Billy Joel???

The Billy Joel Bike episode is left off of this disc set. The Billy Joel Bike episode should be the last episode on this disc set, but it is not there. Also, there is no episode menu on any of these discs.

I bought the series for our son. He loves the shows. I've watched some of them, but chopper stuff isn't for me. As long as he enjoys them that's all that matters. I do recommend the series for anyone who is interested in custom bikes.

As much as I would love to say this was the best American Chopper DVD to date...someone broke into my house and stole it...along with the other five that I had purchased to complete the set. So, anyone reading this, please enjoy watching yours for me since I can't do so myself.
