Classic television October 13, 2008
Mannix was an excellent series which I thoroughly enjoyed growing up. It was exciting to see the first season again, and I hope more classic series are re-captured on dvd.
Mannix looks great ! September 20, 2008

Pure and simple - the DVD transfer of this show is incredible.
I've just watched the first disc, and the quality for a 40 year old show is amazing - better than most newer shows, and even a lot of movies from the last decade.
You'll catch a few blemishes (scratches) from the original films, but overall the colors pop and the images are crystal clear...I only wish everything was done this well.
If you're a fan of this show (or the 60's and 70's detective/cop genre) you won't be disappointed.
 Loved it as a kid September 17, 2008

I remember how I used to love this show as a kid. I liked Mannix's style. I enjoyed the dvds alot. Especially looking at the cars back then. Of course the stuntmen are alot more obviouse now then when I was little but still a good show to watch.
Buy this now!!! September 13, 2008

Often, TV show releases are fumbled, missed opportunities. When they get it right, they should be commended. The MANNIX DVD is first class all the way! Thank you for doing such a great job. The transfer is beautiful, colors crisp, edges sharp, sounds great and the extras are a nice sign of care and respect. Now the show: I almost didn't buy this, thinking the first season might be a little stodgy, compared to the looser later seasons. Thankfully, I picked it up and have been watching it obsessively ever since. Mike Connors is so good, it's easy to see why this was so popular. His line readings are HIP, he looks convincing in the fight scenes and when he puts the moves on a lady you don't think she's responding just cuz he's the star. Wonderful music, great direction, inventive action and a lead who is consistently fun to watch and cool as hell! A great show which actually gets better once they leave Intertect behind next season. Buy it, you'll love it!
OMG FINALLY!!!! September 7, 2008

WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME! Mannix was the coolest, sexiest private eye on TV! I really want Season Two because Peggy comes onboard. Gail Fisher was the First African American to win a prime time dramatic Emmy. The romantic chemistry between those two was undeniable although it would never develop because of the times, but it was there all right. My Favorite episode was when Mannix went blind...chemistry through the roof! TRIVIA: On the TV show Diagnosis Murder (Dick Van Dyke's show) Mannix made a guest appearance. Van Dyke asked about Peggy and Mannix said "I left her at home...", cementing what some or all of us wanted to know about their relationship. In the meantime I will be enjoying this classy blast from the past...Season One. SEASON TWO AND SUBSEQUENT SEASONS... HURRY UP AND GET HERE!!
