On the plus side,you get all 105 episodes from the 1964-1968 T.V.series ,and 5 bonus discs with a number of extras on each.The episodes are transferred well enough,each season/year is numbered and color coded for easy referance,all 41 DVD's come in an attache case with handle.Each season/year comes with a booklet.There is some brief video distortion,and audio pops,but nothing serious enough to ruin your viewing/listening pleasure.To take out season 3, and season 4,you have to stand up the attache case and tilt it forward. Now the minus side-you get only 1 of the 8 1960's "U.N.C.L.E."movies["One Spy Too Many"/1966],there is only one 'next week's episode'preview["The Test Tube Killer Affair"],some episodes have scratches/blemishes to them here and there,the case the DVD's come in is made out of cardboard instead of plastic/metal,and the 1983 reunion movie,"The Return Of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.",is also missing.But overall I still recommend this set to any 1960's T.V.fan,as there are more positives than negatives here,and a few surprises,too.

I can't put it any better than this comment by the SFC: "...the Hope diamond of '60s TV." -- The San Francisco Chronicle. The Man Fron U.N.C.L.E. never looked so good!

I was interested in this DVD set because I only saw a few episodes from the last season when I was 12 yrs. old. The quality of the DVDs was good, except for the "Iowa Scuba Affair." The shows were a bit campy, and it seemed the same set was used extremely often. The acting however was superb, and the actors played off each other well. (They were also easy on the eyes!)

I haven't had time to watch the episodes yet but while the DVD box sets inside are good the attache case box is terrible. It looks great, but since it's made of cardboard it doesn't stay in decent condition. I bought this set brand new from a private seller & was very disappointed when I received it to discover the corners already showed wear & the seams on both sides in the front (on the sides of the latches) were already torn/split so that I had to tape it up immediately. Since it was still sealed in the original plastic wrap & packed well, I don't blame the seller but it would have been nice to have it in a decent box to last more than 30 seconds out of the wrapper. Otherwise, I look forward to many hours watching my favorite TV spies.
