For those who already know what a clever and endearing show Home Movies is, this is a perfect gift. I gave this to my boyfriend for his birthday, and we couldn't wait to watch every episode from start to finish. I wish I had known about this before buying one of the individual seasons. We've not gotten to enjoy all of the special features yet, but I'm sure we'll be enjoying this set for years.

Home Movies is classic humor that reaches many levels. My teenagers love it for the humor is finds in surprisingly realistic life situations - Brendan's dad getting re-married; an overbearing school administrator; being profiled on a local news channel; and on and on. A couple of weeks will go by and we will be reminded of a scene in Home Movies that will make us laugh all over again....with this set we can go back and watch whenever we want. We already use several catch phrases we have grabbed from scenes in some of the best episodes, not the least of which is: "Its time to pay the price." The episode(s) where the kids go back and review some of the titles of the Home Movies they have made is pure genius. ('Jesus-zilla: Son of God-zilla'). And Brendan renaming his current production "Movie History" so when someone asks, he can say he is making 'movie history'.

Home Movies is one of the most smart immature clever animated comedy I have seen in the last 20 years. I have no problem watching this show at any time. That is why I currently have the individual DVD season sets. But I don't have that awesome box it comes with, or the canvas bag, nor the directors clapboard. I love Home Movies so much, I will most likely just give my old DVD's to friends and win them over. To put a close to this review of mine, watch Home Movies.

I enjoyed watching this DVD series. It is one of my favorite TV shows. It's pretty funny; not overly sophisticated but not stupid humor. The special features were alright, if you're a real big fan of the show. I only watched some of them because it became a bit repetitive after a bit, since there really are a LOT of special features. Each disc has maybe about 45 minutes worth on average, some have considerably more.

The box itself was nice and durable. The DVD cases are a bit thin and mushy but they're plastic so they should stay intact for a long time. The clapboard was surprisingly well made. I was expecting something cheapo or even cardboard but it's made out of some kind of hard plastic or something I think, can't remember exactly. The bag is alright for what it is. Mostly felt like one of those cloth bags you get form the grocery store for $1 to carry your groceries in. Probably alright for carrying a few light things, but I wouldn't use it for anything long-term or particularly heavy. They sorta make sense for this TV show, but I would've liked something a bit more useful like a mug or a mousepad or something like that.

The DVDs themselves were reasonably good quality. The first season had that kinda motion blur interlace effect when I was watching it on the computer that was only correctable by halving the resolution. I suppose that's not an issue for people watching on CRT televisions. The last 3 seasons were nice and sharp, though. No interlacing effects and the lines were clean and defined.

I bought this set as a mutual anniversary present, and it was great! My fiance and I are big fans of Brendan Small, and we've always enjoyed Home Movies, and this came with every episode, some bonus material, and a CD featuring all the music from the series. I could not have been happier with the purchase. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Brendan Small or to anyone who just enjoys good comedy. Five stars, all the way through.

Title says it all. The bag is of surprisingly good quality, however the actual box itself leaves something to be desired. A great cartoon.

Love Home Movies and this box set was perfect. The box it comes in is great for storage. I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend but love it myself too. The order came promptly and I even got free shipping!

The only reason I purchased this set was that it would have cost more to buy each season individually. The bag and clapboard are both made in China. Bag is decent quality whereas the clapboard is not. The top half of it merely slides into the bottom half. Very cheap! Everything else is the same as the individual seasons including the music c.d. that is surprisingly good. If you are a Home Movies fan and want the complete series, then this is for you. Just don't be surprised when you see the clapboard!

Home Movies is by far my favourite show on tv. its hilarious, witty, and fun to watch at any time of the day.
I cant get enough of Coach McGuirk. arguably everyones favourite character. My friends and I find ourselves quoting him about 50% of the time we talk. And the goodies inside are great. A must buy for any Home Movies fan and collector. Highly recommended.

If you don't wanna wake up at extremely early morning and a fan of this great series, Why not get this? This 10th anniversary set contains The complete show. Its great now that I don't have to wake up at 4am in the morning to watch this and Now I can watch my favorite characters (Couch Mcguirk, Perry and walter, and Jason) when ever I have free time. 100 dollors worth spent.
