JAG was a great television show and I've wanted to buy the complete series for a while now. Trying to buy each individual season was going to be really expensive, so I never bought any of them. When I found out that this complete series package was going to be released, I immediately added it to my wish list. Maybe I am a bit impulsive, but I purchased this from Amazon the day it was released. I have been in JAG Heaven ever since.

The package is really just a wrapped set of the individual season boxes, but this was not an issue for me. The DVDs are placed, two per case, inside the thin DVD cases. This is a very nice setup and it does not require a lot of shelf space. The show was broadcast in 4:3 aspect ratio for most of the first 5 seasons, but it eventually does move to widescreen format. So you get some episodes in 4:3 and some in 16:9. The quality of the video is good and it looks nice on an up-converted 1080p LCD screen. The audio is encoded as Dolby Digital, so all of the surround features are carried over.

Additionally, I have used RipIt on my iMac to make digital copies of some of the DVDs, and this has worked great. So if you have portable devices that you want to watch JAG on, RipIt will convert these for you.

I am very happy with this purchase and I believe that Amazon's price for the entire series is more than reasonable.

I am a JAG junkie. In my view, JAG is the very best TV series EVER. JAG had it all: action, adventure, drama, mystery, intrigue, suspense, romance, and even an occasional touch of comedy and soap opera. This COMPLETE set includes all 227 episodes including the final 1st season NBC episode "Skeleton Crew" which was NEVER originally aired, but was largely included with a different ending as a "flashback" in the 3rd (2nd CBS) season episode "Death Watch", A viewing will quickly make it apparent why, as does the bonus "making of --" feature. Both the video and audio quality of this set is excellent, with original formats (4X3 in the first 4 seasons and 16X9 thereafter) preserved. If I have any negative criticism at all it would be the packaging, which is simply all 10 individual seasons with their individual season boxes (usually 4 disks per season). I think that now that all seasons are available that they could have done a bit better with the packaging. At any rate, I you love good TV, get JAG. You won't be sorry.

This is each of the 10 seasons of JAG shrink-wrapped together instead of one big box. My husband and I preferred that because we've found that big box sets are harder to store, often poorly packaged, and don't offer great extras in most cases. We also own all of the seasons of NCIS, so it's nice to finally own the pilot episodes for that show (which are in season 8, episode 8.20: Ice Queen and 8.21: Meltdown); we have both enjoyed the rest of JAG too, so we decided to get them all instead of just season 8.

The DVDs are in thinpack DVDs cases, one box per season, two DVDs per thinpack, 2-4 thinkpacks per season. The format varies because the first four seasons were broadcast mostly in 4:3 aspect ratio and then in widescreen (16:9) for most of seasons 5-10. Some shows from the 90s (which is when JAG started, with the first episode shot in 1995) don't look good on our big-screen HD plasma, but these looked sharp. They sounded good on our surround system as well (Dolby Digital).

At least right now, it's cheaper to buy these as a set than get each individual season, so this is a good deal that I would recommend! If you want to read info and reviews of each individual season (because, as I mentioned above, this is just the 10 individual seasons bundled together), go to the links below:

I think that JAG is one of the best T V series ever made. The acting is superb and sets look authentic. The stories are varied and emotional. I would highly recommend this series.

I was pleased with the price and fast delivery. I enjoy watching the JAG series and hope that someday CBS will put out a dvd answering all the questions
left by abruptly ending the series. I would buy that dvd to add to my collection.

I have collected this series over time, waiting with bated breath for each set to arrive, suffering withdrawal symptoms with each delay. I LOVE this series and have watched each episode over and over. The cast was tremendous, the undercurrents between "Harm" and "Mac" absolutely riviting. In many ways I wish I had yet to see it for the first time as I got hooked on it whilst on visits to friends in the U.S. - the problem with that being that I missed a great many episodes. When I first saw it on Amazon I couldn't believe my luck - thank you Amazon.com

Very cool all seasons in my shelf, i can't believe it! I've watched some episodes, great quality no remarks. Terrific for Law Students, despite it being a military-focused TV series.

This is truly the best series that is/was on TV. When the entire 10 seasons were available I bought them through Amazon and just love the series. Wonderful characters, interesting story lines, changing minor characters. I only wish they would make either a "where they are now" movie or have some of these characters appear on NCIS on a regular basis. Love NCIS as well and think it would be great to mix the two up on occasion. Well worth the purchase, got tired of getting them from the library because I always had a long wait! If in doubt, go ahead and purchase. It will give you hours and hours of viewing pleasure.

This is a great TV show and I recieved it fast even though I used the free shipping!!!

I first ordered just Season 8 of JAG solely to get the pilot episodes for NCIS. I absolutely love the show NCIS and had already ordered all available seasons (1-6) of that show. So I get season 8 of JAG to get the pilot for NCIS and fell in love with JAG as well.

I ordered this complete series set and started at the beginning and soon found that I couldn't quit watching the episodes. The series is more addictive than chocolate -- and that's saying something! I am currently on season 6 (out of 10) and find myself wishing that they had made at least 10 more seasons of JAG. The hours spent watching these shows are wonderful. I feel that Mac, Harm, Admiral Chegwidden, Bud, Harriet, Yeoman Tynner, and all the rest are part of the family now. I can't wait to see Mac get rid of Mick, however!

The purchase and delivery itself were standard Amazon -- sterling quality and service! The product came exactly as promised and very quickly! I love Amazon.com and wish everything I order online was of similar quality and service...

Now...if only I could find another product that could give me the wonderful hours I am enjoying with JAG (and NCIS).

And the icing on the cake with JAG is that you can sit and watch episode after episode without having to worry about its appropriateness for all ages. No cringing over foul language or inappropriate violence, either.

I heartily recommend this purchase.
