Hunter: The Complete Series

LOVE THE SERIES, GREATFUL TO HAVE IT, however, the packaging minimal and cheesy!
If you love the Hunter Series and enjoy having entire sets, this product will deliver. However, this is the cheesiest, cheapest, crappiest DVD set I have purchased! (MIAMI VICE- THE COMPLETE SERIES was the last set I had purchased, so naturally I am disappointed!) The quality of the picture is good, considering this was produced mid 1980's and restored so we can have it. I have absolutely NO COMPLAINT there.
I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with the packaging, and the lay-out. All 28 discs come in one flimsy plastic case that measures approximately 7 1/2" long, 5 1/2" wide, and 2" thick (It is definitely a space saver!). Each of the DVD's come in a black PAPER sleeve with a clear cellophane circular window where you can view the Season #, along with the episodes that are contained on that particular disc. The seasons are printed in different colors so you CAN tell them apart. All of the discs are stacked into ONE tight pile within the outer plastic casing. These are single...

Finally, an intelligent idea...
The first 3 seasons of Hunter were released a few years ago, and then like many of my other favorites, the releases just stopped. I don't think the studios realize that this makes many consumers a little shy to begin to purchase a new show, for fear they may not get the entire set. I have several "partial collections" of shows that have just stopped being released for reasons unknown to the common man. It is very sad that many great classics such as Gunsmoke, The Love Boat, Night Court, Mama's Family, and countless others have been cut after only one or more seasons, yet we are bombarded with junk being released every day that is barely entertainment- then again look at what is considered prime time TV today.

Hunter was one of my favorite shows growing up and I am glad to see that Mill Creek came up with the intelligent idea of releasing the entire series. A serious fan will purchase this and be done with it. Sure, the price is a little high, but you are getting 7...

Interviewed Mill Creek about Hunter: The Complete Series
There seems to be a lot of curiousity and strong feelings regarding the upcoming set of Hunter: The Complete Series on DVD from Mill Creek Entertainment, so I wanted to stop by and share my experiences with it.

On Tuesday July 20, I interviewed the VP of Product Acquisitions from Mill Creek about Hunter and a bunch of their other releases (including his attempt to get the BATMAN TV series on DVD), and we also took fan questions about Hunter.

I've also personally reviewed a copy of the set and posted my findings at [...]. I can't say that every episode is completely uncut. In fact, I'm sure that's not the case. However, a large number of episodes clock in at the 47-48 minute mark, which does seem to be a complete episode for an hour show from the 1980s. The pilot is also most likely complete as it comes in at over 95 minutes for a two-hour timeslot.

However, I can tell you that while the DVD may not have the cuts in footage that cable does to add...
