This 2-disc set is the "typical" outstanding product we've come to expect from NFL Films. The first disc contains a 72-minute history of the Dallas Cowboys from their first season of 1960 through the 2002 season. A lot is packed into these 72-minutes, but of course for diehard Cowboy fans, it still leaves us wishing for more. The history is presented primarily chronologically, but there are some topics- the Redskin/Cowboy rivalry or the Cowboy image- where this strict chronology is broken.

The second DVD contains a 70-minute program of the Cowboy-49er NFC Championship game played on the January 17, 1993. That would be my pick for best Cowboy game of the 1990's. The game is presented chronologically and although it doesn't include every single play, it is extensive. A quality production.

The bonus features are primarily player profiles and some game highlights, including the Cowboys' exciting Monday Night game against the New York Giants in 2003.

The Dallas Cowboys have a history as rich as any in the NFL. From beginning to end, names like Bob Hayes, Randy White, Tony Dorsett, Herschel Walker, Troy Aikman, and Emmitt Smith fill up this DVD with spectacular highlights. With the Big Tuna sparking a renewed interest in the Dallas Cowboys, longtime and new fans will discover why the Dallas Cowboys are known as "America's Team." Disc 1 contains a compacted year-by-year analysis with special spotlights on individual stars such as Ed Jones and Thomas Henderson. Disc 2 contains the 1992/93 NFC Championship game play-by-play, a real treat for those that missed the original broadcast. This DVD has it all. Highly recommended for Cowboys fans.

Awesome! This is a wonderful DVD. Perfect for people like me (lifelong fans) who want to relive the glorious days of the past. I must admit to tearing up a bit watching Landry pace the sidelines against Green Bay in the mid 60s, and Lilly, Renfro and Staubach vs. Miami in '73 (for starters). But this DVD is also wonderful for newer fans who want to learn about the team. My wife, who more or less started following the Boys when we got married fifteen years ago, seemed to really enjoy it, and commented more than once that it filled in a lot of missing pieces for her. We BOTH learned something thanks to this production, though--in all these years, I had never, until now, heard the story of how the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry got started. Thought I knew, but didn't, not until now... Anyway, this production is tops. Script, audio and video are high quality. Well executed, as Landry might've said.

Until Ken Burns decides to do a complete, in-depth, 10-DVD set on the greatest professional sports franchise in the history of the universe - this will have to do.

This is a pretty thorough introductory to the Boys'. I have a number of Cowboys VHS tapes and I was surprised to find that most of the material in this DVD set I had never seen before.

My only small gripe is that the 1992 NFC Championship Game is not show in its entirety, like they claim. [There is some time in the 4th quarter that they skip over.]

This DVD is greatness. Any fan of "America's Team" needs to have this in their DVD library. From the humble beginnings in 1960 to the present, this DVD does a great job of capturing the history of the Cowboys. There are many player and coaches interviews from other sources that are used very well to put together the story. And the behind the scenes aspects of the team are fun to hear.

After taking their hard knocks as an expansion franchise, coming up short in the late Sixties and early Seventies, and breaking through by winning Super Bowl VI, by the late 1970s the Dallas Cowboys came to be known as "America's Team" due to their star power and sustained excellence. This DVD set traces the history of the franchise from its start in 1960 up through 2003, the first year of the Bill Parcells era.

This history contains interview clips from Tex Schramm, Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and most of the great players of the franchise's first 44 seasons. Highlighted are the roles that the great coaches and players played, the innovations that Landry made on both sides of the ball, and the rivalry with the Washington Redskins. There is great footage of most of the team's Super Bowls and key games, both playoff and regular season.

The bonus DVD is the "NFL's Greatest Games" broadcast of the 1992 NFC Championship Game, when the Cowboys advanced to the first Super Bowl of the Jimmy Johnson era and avenged The Catch of 11 years earlier. This set is a good, brief history of the Dallas Cowboys.

My brother loves it, it's got a lot more important details then the newest version, you know, what the fans love so much about the 'Boys.
