Awesome Show that is the most Realistic and the most Human action series to ever grace TV and The Unit is loved by viewers world wide. Yes, the Bone-headed Program Upper Management at CBS has cancelled this show. Here is hoping that Fox picks up this fantastic U.S. Military action-drama. I guess I should not be surprised that Amazon has raised the price of this 3 season Set of The Unit again. Of Course, I will wait until the Holiday Season of 2009 as the price is Highly Likely to be on sale at that time. Yes, being patient can be a virtue and I can live with Amazon's current greediness.

This was a great purchase. I love The Unit! Great value for all 3 seasons!

This is a great series. Each episode goes way too fast and keeps you wanting more. Season 4 (current year) is great so far.

Thanks Amazon for such a great price!

I'm well pleased with "The Unit"! And know the recipient will be thrilled that this product was available this soon !!!

I am glad I was able to get previous seasons as I just recently started watching "The Unit." It's a terrific series, and Amazon's service was just as good.

One of the best action series around. I bought the whole series from Amazon. My only regret is that they seem to have stopped making more episodes. Everyone else who has watched also asks about more episodes. Wonderful action series against a background of real life family situations.

I was fortunate enough to channel surf onto an episode of this series midway through season 2. I immediately added it to my DVR and ultimately bought the DVDs for all 4 seasons. Like many others, I'm disappointed to see it end.

The Unit has always told a strong story in each episode. Some series become predictable early on, but that never happened here. Stories continued to surprise, characters continued to develop. I'm old enough that I don't feel attached to fictitious characters, yet those in The Unit pulled me in. I occasionally found myself facing a challenge at work asking "What would Snake Doc do?". As strong as the storyline is, the characters made this series. Exceptional.

Like others, I am dissatisfied to see the series end. Many story lines are unresolved, and there is obviously still gas in the tank for more episodes. I'm a middle-aged guy who has finally earned some disposable income that doesn't jingle in my pocket, yet modern marketing deems me irrelevant. I don't watch so-called reality shows (not my reality BTW) where nearly-naked nit-wits generally make buffoons of themselves. I don't know the people who do watch them. But to watch TV today, they are both loaded and easy to separate from their loot.

I'm not sure what it takes in TV-Land to make a show financially successful. In my world, the successful show is the one I'll stay up past midnight to watch, even when I have to be to work early the next morning. The successful show is the one that I think about for a couple of days, not a couple of seconds, after watching it. The successful show is the one I wait for anxiously each week. The successful show is the one I will miss when some TV executive nit-wit (who would fit perfectly into his own reality TV) cancels it. In other words, this show. Get it.

This show did an excellent job of showing the human side of spec ops soldiers without too much of the touchy-feely aspects. Granted, there was drama in the series (some episodes could have down with a bit less), but the action, suspense, and surprises overshadowed it. If you enjoy the 24 series, you will love The Unit!

After ordering Seasons 1 through 3 and anxiously waiting for Season 4 to be released, I heard that The Unit is cancelled. So, Seasons 1 through 4 are all that will ever be. It's too bad, it is one of the best shows ever. The dialogue and stories are great, but then if you are reading this review you probably already know that.

My husband and I found the show late so we order the DVD's and they are worth every penny. Love the show. BOHICA
