Unfortunately, the reviews on the show are focused more on the distributor "Lacewing" and not the actual show. I got hooked on the show when my daughers found it on Jetix. It's a show about 5 Teenage girls who come into "powers" over the elements and they have to protect the "veil" of other worlds. Involving plots that carry on throughout the seasons. (there are two.) You can only find the series available on amazon.uk, where it is a big hit, but not so in the US. If you can find a DVD player that plays other regions, then try that avenue.

Disney has not chosen to renew the series for a third season (which is disappointing) but I wonder if its due to consumer response or the fact they wish to promote their "Winx" series more.

Check back often, maybe this product will be available again, but through a more reputable and "authorized" distributor.

Lacewing=bootleggers, simple. If they feel that this claim is wrong, then have them contact Disney's legal department and clarify.

W.I.T.C.H has a lot of qualities similar to Sailor Moon, Labyrinth and a hint of Captian Planet. I think it's a great show for kids. As far as children's shows go it's pretty good. It doesn't talk down to children and yet it has life lessons about team work and friendship without being obnoxiously preachy.

For a children's show the plots are surprisingly intricate and complex and the villains have enough depth and sympathy where you can understand their points of view. You have to watch it with an innocent mind, with the heart of a child. Yes, there are similar shows but when you're a child this sort of thing is still very new and very fun.

The main idea is there are five girls, each with power over a specific element. They are guardians, protectors of this world and a magical other world called Miridian, ruled by a wicked, immortal sorcerer named Phobos. The title is the initials of all the five heroes.

Of course good triumphs over evil and there are some fun and fantastic moments. It's perfect for all children and people of any age for that matter.

This product is still a Boot-legged rip-off. Before buying this DVD, ask yourself:

1) You only get the first 6 episodes on the 1 disc. For $14 + S & H ($5?) x 5 discs (total discs they were telling us would eventually be available) = $100 for a bootlegged series. Isn't that too expensive?

2) The show is owned by Disney. Why is it being distributed only through Lacewing Media?

3) Who is Lacewing Media?

4) Why is there no web-site for this supposed "studio", Lacewing Media?

5) They were selling this as a boxed set, with only the first DVD, for $25 + S & H. What happened to the box?

I'll tell you what happened. They got so many bad reviews, they removed that offer and put up this new one, without the box. Now all the old reviews are gone.

This "set", one disk among several empty cases, is a poorly-produced black market ripoff evidently scan-converted from a Region 2 DVD released in Europe. Somebody spliced in the N. Am. theme songs; that's the only diff.

I've had it for a year or so, but already the DVD disk itself is starting to decompose, kicking out uncorrectable errors that cause blocky artifacts and playback freezes. What a nightmare!

Disney's idiotic handling of the entire W.I.T.C.H. line has been terminally frustrating for N. Am. fans, leaving only second-best and arguably illicit avenues for watching this cool series.

this season is not my fav but it is very good 2 season awesome this series is awesome

I'm not sure why Amazon.com allows users to post who have clearly not bought the item. How do I know this? Easy! Because the last reviewer didn't even mention what is on this DVD! Which is what most of us "potential" buyers want to know anyway.

All that aside, this DVD has the first 6 episodes. Video quality? Superb. Audio? Superb also. If you're a fan of the series, I say pick this up. This might be our best chance to have WITCH on DVD for quite some time. Oh, and I only paid $12 for mine = P

if you want witch episodes i know where to go,they aren't dvd quality but i do have almost every episode on my computer with the exception of 3,their at 000.witchmate.tripod.000
