I have just watched a few of these episodes...and I want to alert my fellow DVD buyers that if they are fans of this show....the DVDs are very high quality. This show must have been shot on good film stock as the images are crisp, well saturated and excellent contrast. The guest stars are movie star quality and the stories are interesting..and well acted. Above all...Raymond Burr is a fascinating actor and as far as the small screen is/was concerned he had a commanding presence which is always compelling. I'd put these on a par with the columbo sets ...in story and strength of guest stars. If you are a fan you will not be dissapointed.

This title gives the impression you are getting more than you are. There is no volume 2 either so if you want the rest of season 1 after you buy this you will have to buy the entire first season release anyway. I bought this release because I had recently checked out the complete season 1 at the library and watched it so I wasn't desperate to buy the complete season release. I am a total maniac for the pilot episodes of old TV shows, and I was able to pick up this release with the pilot for practically nothing. It is a quality product as far as production goes, but a person would be better served to spend a little more and get the excellent Ironside complete first season.

When I saw the message from amazon.com I was excited - then I saw where the DVD set is one I already own. It's a great DVD set but why was I given the impression this is a newly released set? I've had season I volume 1 for at least a year if not more.

Although I love this series, I was very angry after buying this volume 1 of season 1 to find out that there wasn't going to be a volume 2 of season 1. They created a complete set of season 1 instead. I will not be getting split seasons anymore unless the 2nd volume is already for sale. Otherwise, this was a great TV show and will buy more but complete seasons.

I am thoroughly enjoying watching these. I saw some of them back when they were on TV but not all of them. Good clean detective shows.

I give this a 4 star because my wife loves Raymond Burr, me not so much. The vehicle that Ironsides transports himself to scenes if laughable by todays standsrd.

Also this series was right after the Civil Right Act and its just too heavy on making up to Black People and it just doesnt accomplish it.

Buy it used from a market seller its just not worth full price.
