I'm thrilled THE UNIT is available in this box set because it's going to make my husband delighted with his Christmas gift. You see, my entire family was dismayed when CBS canceled The Unit, one of the best shows on TV.

Well-written, well-acted, and reflective of the bravery of the men and women who are unsung heroes, the series starred the amazing Dennis Haysbert as Team Leader Jonas Blaine. We followed the team's exploits through 3 seasons where the show was jerked around from one spot to another before finally ending up after Sunday night football. We never knew when it would start so we had to play with the DVR recording time in order to get it all.

When they canceled it, I felt like telling the head idiot of CBS programming who was responsible for the decision what I thought. The only thing that stopped me was that I didn't know who that might be or what his or her phone number or personal email address was. I had to content myself with posting irate messages on forums with other like-minded people. Why do intelligent, entertaining shows get canceled and crap remains on ad infinitum ad nauseum?

The Unit is television at its best. I highly recommend it for intelligent audiences who like solid plotting and thrilling action.

First of all if you know anything about the Unit you know this is a Must have. If you don't you are for the ride of your life. Within the first two episodes you will feel like everyone on the show is family. It is the best cast of any Movie or TV series I have ever seen. Everyone is so good I don't think you will ever find a cast like this again. It makes me sick to stomach that the show was canceled after its fourth season. That's why this DVD set is a must have.

The Television show "The Unit" is well written with outstanding acting. It's a series of stories with a special unit of men who take on tasks for the United States armed forces. Although the stories aren't true, they are acted out with such serious focus and detailed thinking which can be related to actual events that occur with Middle East terrorism. The Unit also includes scenarios of potential nuclear theft and germ warfare with sub-stories that include the wives of these men who can not know their missions as they stay within their homes on base and tackle issues of secrecy about their husbands in everyday life. I recommend these videos for anyone interested in action packed television as well as gaining insight on what actually goes on from the inside perspective of special agents protecting our country. This includes perspective understanding on the party crashers at a recent social White House event. (11/09)

One of the best shows in recent years. I'm so tired of the teenage drivel that dominates TV. This show was interesting and unlike anything else on. The least CBS could have done is allowed one more season to wrap up the story lines. I agree with another reviewer - the head of CBS that cancelled this is an idiot. What are they pushing now - Paula Abdul's dancing show?! Are you kidding me? Does anyone think that viewers from American Idol are missing Paula so much they'll watch this? All four seasons of The Unit are definitely worth buying.

Came in nice case that hold's all 4 season's. Then inside each year is in it's own holder. Nice, great show that should have never ended.

I love The Unit. I'm so glad I got this complete series collection. I was concerned at first by what one other reviewer wrote about this dvd collection arriving unhinged and the dvds just sliding about because of flimsy packaging. Well, mine arrived undamaged. I have a hard time NOT watching The Unit--I watch it all the time. The writing and the acting are fantastic. The only thing I'm sorry about is that the series ended. (But it lives on forever in The Unit: The Complete Series.) The Unit: The Complete Series I hope they resurrect this show.

The Unit in my opinion is one of the most outstanding TV Series ever made. After a slightly slower start in Season 1 it went on to become, through the end of Season 2 and through Seasons 3 and 4, one of the most gripping and well written action series ever produced. For it to be cancelled after only four seasons when it was at it's best was an unfathomable decision. Unlike Galactica which was at it's best through it's first couple of seasons this just kept getting better! "Go for Blane!"

I bought this for my mother so she could watch her only favorite tv show without commercials. She works unusual hours and never has time to watch tv during the day because she is busy. It was perfect for her she can watch her fav episodes over and over, pause it to get a snack, and rewind (her favorite thing to do) whenever she wants.

This is one of the best series we have ever watched. This complete series was purchased as a gift. We have watched at least an episode an evening. We are on the last season now and have enjoyed every moment. I know that we will wait a few months and start watching all over again. I wish they would bring the series back to TV. They were always great story lines and I am sure they could come up with new ones.

This is the greatest military show ever to be aired on tv!!! what a shame it had to end so early.
