Do not buy this DVD!

It has the 4 Super Bowl videos (which run on ESPN & ESPN Classic constantly) but does not have the 4 Steeler highlight videos for the 4 Super Bowl seasons.

Instead, you get league highlight videos for 1974, 1975, 1978 & 1979. I did not know (and do not care) that Steve Bartkowski was NFL rookie of the year in 1975 or that the Jets were last in passing offense and had 2 head coaches in 1975, but this worthless DVD has provided that knowledge to me.

The blurb on Amazon for this DVD claims "go back through each winning season with highlights leading up to the big game, and celebrate the great Super Bowl triumphs." Hard to see how watching the Jets and Bartkowski highlights has anything to do with the Steelers. That blurb is false advertising.

It is not worth the hassle of attempting to return this DVD to Amazon for a $15 refund based on false advertising, but I have been burned.

Poor judgment by NFL Films in not including the 4 Steelers highlight videos for the Super Bowl seasons and not dumping the league-wide seaason highlight videos for those years.

I was so excited when this DVD came out hoping to get the four Pittsburgh Steelers highlight films from the '70s. 98% of all this material is already included in the Super Bowl Collection Sets put out last year on DVD. Why won't NFL Films step up and give us more??? This should be a STEELER-SPECIFIC box set, not some rehash of the entire season for all teams...

Come On Steve Sabol; give us what we want!!!

As the previous reviewer wrote, this DVD only shows the NFL Films version of Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, and XIV. It does also have a short profile of Jack Lambert, John Stallworth, Chuck Noll, and a couple others. They are only about 2-3 minutes a piece though. The league season highlights are horrible. Who cares about the other teams. I bought this because it was supposed to be about the Steelers. Wish I could get my money back. Gave it two stars instead of only one because of the profile on Lambert, he was the best.

I bought the DVD figuring that it would include the Steelers 1974, 1975, 1978 & 1979 season highlights, plus the Super Bowl Championship Highlights. Instead, we got to see the NFL season highlights of those four Super Bowl seasons. Not a complaint by any means. I'm sure there are people disappointed about the DVD, but I'm not one of those. I guess being a loyal Stllers and NFL fan, especially in the 1970's, people can see how good those other teams were, and just how great the Steelers became.

I was lured into this DVD thinking I will get something nicely done, and got very disapointed. The Steelers are a great team but the 70's NFL productions were not so. The narrative of the season was written with a decadent ritm, sometimes using ridiculous rimes, which make it slow paced. This is just a remaked of old productions who look old and feel old.

As the others have said, this is essentially just the four super bowl highlights that ESPN runs every year. It has some good interviews too, but not too much more. I like having the set because I watch the highlights every year around playoff time and it is nice to have them without commercials and the ESPN ticker at the bottom. So, if you realize that going in, it is not a bad deal if you get a good price, although it could have been so much more. Better yet, I would highly recommend the Complete History of the Steelers DVD, and if you pick up the Ultimate Two Pack, you can get both sets at a reasonable price (although Amazon's price is quite a bit higher than I found elsewhere for some reason).

The title is a little misleading. I thought this was the highlights of the Steelers sb seasons which I already had on vhs. Actually it reviews the whole NFL in the years 1974, 75, 78, 79. Plus it has the highlights of all 4 sbs from the 70's. I like it.

If you're a Steelers fan, young or old, you must own this DVD set! Reliving the the Steel Curtain days brings back great memories of the greatest team in NFL history and the 2005 Last Stop Detroit team was great. Well made set, video and audio is excellent.

I read the DVD cover in a store and knew what I would be getting when I bought it. Sure, it has highlights of the entire season for the 4 1970s Super Bowl years for the Steelers. It includes highlights of the entire year as to which teams did good and which didn't, not everyone will like it. But, I knew what I was getting in to when I finally made my mind up to buy it. For Steelers Fans too young to really remember each of the 4 1970s Super Bowls (Super Bowls IX in '74, X in '75, XIII in '78 and XIV in '79) it's good to see the entire season in perspective. Sure it would have been greater to concentrate on just the Pittsburgh Steelers, but, it's good to relive memories of the entire year to a point.

GIVE ME A BREAK. WAKE UP NFL FILMS! PLEASE RELEASE A DVD SET WITH THE STEELERS SEASON HIGHLIGHT'S FOR THEIR SUPER BOWL SEASON'S. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE JET'S BAD SEASON IN 1975. WE WANT TO WATCH THE HIGHLIGHT'S OF THE STEELERS!
