 It's about time! July 24, 2008

I've been waiting on this release for years. It's unfortunate that CBS did not see fit to release the entire season but I am happy nonetheless. I can't wait to get volume 2.
 Love the show, hate being ripped off July 20, 2008

Cannon was, without a doubt, one of my top 5 detective series of all time. My problem with this set is the fact that it has been released without being re-mastered, and because it comes in two volumes. Why would Paramount do such a thing? As a company, when you try to rip off your customers, you lose much of your credibility. Universal released the Columbo series without re-mastering, and without extras (except for an episode of Mrs. Columbo - oh, joy). Paramount has also done the same thing with Mission: Impossible - no extras, and "some episodes may be edited from their original network versions". Can these companies not take a page from Criterion and release their shows in the very best quality they possibly can with all the bonus material they can? I will pay extra for Criterion released movies because they have demonstrated that they are willing to go the extra mile for their customers. Hey Paramount, how about re-thinking this series, and get it right starting with volume 2?

I just can't give more then 3 stars. Not because this is a great series..but because Paramount continues to offer sloppy looking copies. This looks like something copied off TV in VHS and then transfered to DVD. Now I know that is not the case but just pointing out the over all quality of the set. Colors shift on some episodes and the picture quality is soft. I buy hundreds of DVD each year and many of the TV series. But this is truly the poorest quality I have seen so far. I know, Paramount will come back and say that this is because it is an old show, etc etc etc. But that is bull. Why Paramount couldn't have remastered the set before transfer is beyond me. They could have cleaned this set and offered the kind of quality I get from Universal, Disney, etc. Final statement - A great TV series that deserves better quality. Shame on you Paramount as you continue to blunder ahead.

Just got this and its great. I havent seen it since TV Land ran it some time ago. Cant wait to see the vol 2. I don't care for the 2 vol sets. They should have put the whole thing together like Mannix. Maybe Barnaby Jones will come out next?????

I'm glad Cannon is going to be out on dvd, I've been waiting for years to see this. Too Bad they don't want my money, I was willing to buy the full season. I guess it's good news for Netflix.
