If you're expecting this to be just like the movies "Man from Snowy River" or "Return to Snowy River" you will be surprised. The place is the same, and the main character is said to be the man from Snowy River. However, this was a TV series that just used the movies as a jumping off spot. The stories are great, covering a variety of topics that dealt with real life in that era, and many that are timeless. It was a time when there was right and wrong, and people cared about each other. These are great, family-friendly shows.

I watched this show years ago when it was on tv and I have some of the episodes on DVD. I love it! It is a show that the family can sit down and watch together and at the same time is very enjoyable. I love (and own the DVD's) the original "The Man From Snowy River" and "Return to Snowy River" movies. These DVD's do take a different direction from the movies, but in my opinion, they are just as good and it is nice to follow the story of the MacGregor family through this series. Well worth the money if you love a good clean western.

We are delighted that this series has been released in the U.S. - finally! But this 3-pack doesn't include all of the episodes in the series and leaves you hanging!

Rated 5 stars on the excellence of the series, but reduced to 4 stars because it is an incomplete set! Amazon, we expect better from you than this!

I don't know if "western" quite fits the description, but Australia is southwest from the U.S., so western is relative. The episodes I viewed were enjoyable - a pioneer family story. It's also a treat to see Hugh Jackman and Guy Pearce when they were first starting out. The scenery is GORGEOUS! I definitely want to visit Australia's province of Victoria! What makes this pioneer story even better than an American western is this: NO INDIANS GET KILLED! (Naturally, I'm sure the Aborgines weren't treated fairly, but let's not go there for now!)

Picked up the three-pack for $5.50 at Wal-Mart last month, just got around to showing it this weekend. My wife and I and our ten-year-old daughter loved it. We started a family tradition of toasted cheese sandwiches in the TV room Sunday nights while watching a segment of Little House On The Prairie. Ran through all ten seasons and now need to find something as good. Snowy River: The McGregor Saga would fill the bill, but it looks like they've only released segments one and two as The Race, and then this three-pack (nine shows) from midway through the third season. Wish we could buy all four of the seasons in one place.

I enjoyed this series very much, A show you can watch with the family. The only thing is the series is not available and this is just enough to make you want to watch more. But I did enjoy very much.

This 3 pack box set is misleading. It does not state that the 3 pack is of season 4 the last season of the show only and is missing the last 3 episodes of season 4!! Why it does not contain all the season I do not understand.

What is the point of buying this set if you do not have Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3.

this is one of the best sagas i have ever watched i hope everyone watches this is so great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrived in a timely manner ..in a great shape but would like to be able to buy the whole series.does not seem to be available.

Not what I thought I was getting is not near as good as what I thought I was getting.
