As someone who purchased the entire nine seasons of "Matlock" separately about a year ago I can heartily recommend this brand new 2015 package to anyone who enjoys this type of family-oriented entertainment. It took me about six months but I got the opportunity to enjoy once again every single episode of this highly entertaining series. What I enjoyed most about this series is that there is a minimum of violence and very little in the way of sexual innuendo. This is definitely a series that grandparents can enjoy with their grandkids. I found that as the series wore on the quality of the shows did not diminish one little bit.....even in the ninth and final season. Andy Griffith obviously enjoyed the role and it was fun to see the great Don Knotts guest star in 17 of these episodes. There is a touch of humor in a lot of these shows and every once in a while some great music. If you are a fan of classic TV, courtroom dramas, or family-friendly shows then I highly recommend this package to you. Best of all you can now purchase the entire series for about 1/2 of the price I paid to buy them separately.

Andy Griffith is best known for his starring roles in two very popular television series, The Andy Griffith Show (1960) and Matlock (1986). Matlock is an American television legal drama, starring Andy Griffith whose hair has now turned much grayer than when he was sheriff of Mayberry. And Don Knotts has a semi regular role, starting in season 3 through season 6, usually he's wearing a cap to cover his now balding pate - this was before being bald was in style.
Andy Griffith (1926 - 2012) Spouse (3) Cindi Knight (2 April 1983 - 3 July 2012) (his death) Solica Casuto (11 June 1975 - 1981) (divorced) Barbara Griffith (26 August 1949 - 16 October 1972) (divorced) (2 children
Don Knotts (1924 - 2006) Spouse (3) Frances Yarborough (2002 - 24 February 2006) (his death) Loralee Czuchna (12 October 1974 - 1989) (divorced) Kathryn Metz (27 December 1947 - 17 March 1966) (divorced) (2 children)
My favorite moments are when Andy plays the accoustic guitar and sings folk or gospel songs - he does some in this series. His decision to end Matlock in 1995, was because he wanted to spend more time with his family. He would reprise his role one more time, with Dick Van Dyke, in a 2 part episode of Diagnosis Murder (1993) in 1997.Read more ›

I love this series!!!! I was hesitant to purchase based on several other reviews about quality, I was especially afraid I would not be able to hear shows since I do have a slight hearing problem. I have a 32" flat screen TV and a 2yr old bluray/ dvd player that are both pretty basic with no fancy upgrades. I'm almost finished with first season and have been VERY happy. Do I wish they would have cleaned up the video a bit for this new set release?? YES... Am I still enjoying this series?? ABSOLUTELY... I have no problem with audio from my regular TV speakers. I am very happy with my purchase so far and would definitely recommend this set.

Edit alert! I reviewed this box set below but am adding to it as an update. I am now on disk 5 and the quality of this set has improved vastly. The first disk wasn't very good, quality-wise IMO, but the later shows have shown a marked improvement. I just wanted to update my review in the interests of fairness. I have also updated my rating to the 4 stars this set deserves. It's not a perfect box set, especially since it has no subtitles or closed caption option, but giving it 3 stars was a bit unfair and this truly is one of my favorite sets now. Great show!
I just received my complete set last week and have seen the first two disks. Reviewers who have said the quality of the picture is pretty weak are, unfortunately, correct, and shouldn't be mocked or given negative comments. The fact is that the picture, even on my new high grade Blu-Ray/DVD player is a bit grainy and I also see lines once in a while at the top of the screen which look exactly like the lines I used to see on my pre-cable TV when the reception was weakened for a few moments. It honestly looks like it was taken from a VHS recorder and slapped directly onto the discs from them.
That did disappoint me since I love Matlock enough to have purchased this complete set for around $88. Granted, for the entire set, in chronological order, I consider it a bargain since there are an amazing 195 hour-long episodes here. Okay, so they are actually around 48 minutes each because of the unfortunate reality that many, many commercials are a fact of life these days. Still, 195 episodes of that length is a LOT of material for the price! I am giving this complete box set only 3 stars for the reasons I just listed, but there's also one last reason I give what I consider to be a 5-star TV show only 3 stars.Read more ›
