I love this show and bought each season individually. I thought I would like to have the show in one boxed set instead so I purchased this item. What a mistake I made. There is a reason this packaging is half the size of the individually boxed seasons. Upon opening the set I had a hard time getting the center to slide out of the shell. Turns out the inside is very flimsy and cheap! It opens out to the two cheapest plastic [don't even know if I should use that word to describe the material] containers. Each container holds half of the discs on a flimsy spindle. There is nothing to protect the discs from one another, they are just stacked on top of each other. The worst part of this packaging is how they chose to keep the discs in place. They chose to insert round brown cardboard pieces stuffed into the containers. They might as well have used duct tape instead. This is by far the worst packaging I have ever seen in my life. I can't believe they chose such inferior products to house such an awesome show!!! Even bad TV deserves better packaging then this atrocity! I don't usually write reviews, but I'm just so stunned that this was done! Hey Sony I have a better idea so you can save more money, why don't you just sell the set in the spindle containers that they use to sell blank disc media! All you would need to do, would be to put a sticker label on the outside!!

If you're considering this, you've already seen the show, or you're a fan. It's a great show, of that there is no doubt.
The problem with this is the packaging. It is so horrible that the entire thing is just unprotected.
Would you just throw your discs together somewhere, leaving them unprotected? That's exactly what the individuals behind this product expect you to do. Two separate 'halves' of the box, each have a spindle to put your disc in, collecting them in a group. Talk about a huge, huge mess, and massive problems when it comes to keeping discs protected.
A+++++ for the show
F----- for the packaging!

Got this in the mail today for a great price. I myself have absolutely no problem with the packaging!!!. I have "Sanford and Son" CS , and "Soap" CS and both are packaged the same way on spindles & NONE of the discs in any of these sets are scratched or even have a mark on them!!!. Is the packaging a little cheaper?...Yes Is it a problem?
...I definately think not. Its nice to have the whole series in a much more compact case for a much cheaper price than the individual seasons. Very pleased with my purchase. Great price for a great series. Definately Recomended in my opinion, and don't let some of these comments about the packaging deter you from getting this set as the discs are fine packaged this way!

This was a last minute purchase for my husband to finish off his Christmas gifts. It turned out to be the present he loved the best and, honestly, I totally enjoy watching the shows again. It is so full of "guy" humor and raw, real emotions, one cannot help but relate to someone or something in this series. It is a brilliant depiction of how 9/11 changed all of our lives forever. You don't have to live in New York to continue to feel the impact of that historic day. Dennis Leary captures it magnificently.
Buy this for your husband, the firefighters in your life and for yourself. Never forget.

A great series, can't wait to watch it......I have to finish Third Watch first. Simple packaging makes it easy to fit on my shelf. No damaged disks despite others who think the DVDs need to be individuality wrapped.

Rescue Me: The Complete Series
-
Let me be very clear here - yes, the package that holds the set is sub-par...BUT, for the price you're paying for this complete set (my pre-Christmas 2012 price was under $32), people really should stop with their antics.
This set: You get all 26 DVD discs that would come if one purchased all of the individual season sets. The shows on these DVD's are anamorphic widescreen - they will show as widescreen on DVD players that are capable of handling this format (which should include even the cheapest models) on any widescreen TV. I do own an older DVD player which does not handle the anamorphic format, and on that the show displays in letterbox format. They have english closed-captioning which is switchable through your DVD player's settings (not on the discs themselves.) The discs have all of the content that you would expect on the individual season sets - featurettes, gag reels, etc.
There's nothing fancy here. The only insert is a single page overlay that numbers the individual episode names for each season. The box butterflies to expose the two spindles of DVD's. The twin spindles hold the DVD's securely, with cardboard packaging inserts to hold each stack down. That's it!
In my opinion, any price under $75 would make this a worthwhile purchase. As others have complained about, you might hope for better packaging - but I look at it as I'm getting everything that matters for a small percentage of the price of purchasing the individual season sets. For all that money that I've just saved, I'll purchase aftermarket cases for my DVD's and still get to enjoy everything I loved about this great series...... Read more ›

Greatest show ever
This was one of the best shows ever put on TV. Hilarious with unbelievable drama mixed in. Tommy Gavin rules. The box set for the price was an absolute steal.

Great series, bad packaging.
The series is great -- 5 stars -- and the DVD quality is generally very good. But as some of the other reviewers noted, the disk packaging is terrible. Read more

Excellent
It was everything that was said in the description I would recommend this to anyone who is in to tv shows like this, watching it on tv isn't the same ad watching the DVDs.

Item was as advertised. The only negative was the case the series came in. Instead of individual sleeves the disks come in a box stacked on top of each other. Read more
