Beware! Content of this DVD collection is great. However, beware! The production quality of the DVD collection is extremely poor. The programs blur or stop altogether. The commands do not operate. Sometimes you are able to play a program, other times they will not play. Very inconsistent and unreliable. I ordered this collection twice to be sure that I did not just receive a defective disc set. The same unreliability and play inconsistencies applied to the second collection, which Amazon sent to me free of charge to replace the first ordered collection.

I certainly hope the production quality improves with the next collection offered for sale.

I love Tony Bourdain! His show is so interesting, educational, and a laugh! He sure helps but North American minds to work in appreciating cultures were as most people would be ignorant and dismissive. I can't wait til he gets to season 10! Never get sick of this show or his experiences! Go Tony Go!

Yes, I haven't actually watched this DVD yet since it doesn't come out for a few days but I've seen every season of "No Reservations" and it's the best travel/food show on television. Bourdain is a chef who actually laughs at himself (and he likes the Ramones). What more could you ask for.

I have read Anthony's books first. Then I saw one of his TV shows "by accident" while switching through the channels. I wanted more. So I rent all DVDs during my last vacation in the US and watched them in a row.

Now, one year later, I wanted to see some of his shows again as I am interested in visiting some of the places he went, and as I am also a hunter for good local food and specialites, I decided to buy all his DVDs here on Amazon. And I have soooo much fun with them.

You see other views of a country, not the typical tourist paths. Food you wouldn't dare to touch or put it in your mouth - he does it for us. Great guy. Can't wait to go to Sicily and try that strange fried meat-parts hidden under a towel from these old men on the streets, too. Or the melon gelly with pistachios and dark chocolate bits.... Yummie!

These are short movies you can watch several times. They are fun, interesting, educational and like a nice trip to a foreign world in times you get "itchy feet" and wanna do at least some couchvacation....

Buy all at once, because you will like the first, and then you regret you have to pay extra postal service for the others.... ;-)

Have fun

Received my dvd in the condition promised in a very timely manner. Would order from this company again.

I received my DVD in a timely manner, even though I live on the other side of the world. I find that this collection is definitely worth purchasing.

All he does is whine and moan about everything he comes across. He tries way to hard to make stupid jokes...ever heard of editing. Edit some of the 50 to 60 puns and lame jokes out and maybe, just maybe it could be funny. Maybe the show would be better if he didn't try so hard to be funny and he wasn't such a wuss. Who named this guy a bad boy? Just because he smokes and drinks doesn't make him a "bad boy", toughen up Anthony and quit your whining.

Overall you would have to say that this series takes a extreme political position towards the left. Its less of a food or travel show as it is a political airing of a drunk, usless washed up loser the main protaginst Mr. Bourdain. Its unfortunate after a promosing first season this show quickly crumbled in its second season and this season is no different.
