5/5 Great show in a basic, albeit decent, box.
  by Nathan L. Baker
So, we all either love or hate this show (which is something I've gathered from reading reviews online). Well, I'd have to say that I love the show which is surprising to me since I never really watched in the past. Probably because I was only 11 when it first came on the air.

The box set is extremely easy to navigate, compared to some other shows that are a bit of a hassle to get to the disc you want. The complete ALIAS is a really cool, original design--but you have to take a thing out, fold some things back, decipher which folder you want, then get the disc out of the cardboard sleeves. The complete BUFFY has a neat design as well, but the folders are stacked one on top of the other, so when you want season 7 you basically have to unload the whole thing. Both sets look cool, but are a bit of a pain.

The Ally McBeal set, on the outside, looks great and the cardboard case (both the slipcase and the inside one that holds the DVD sets) are sturdy enough since it'll just be setting on your shelf. Then you have the 6 DVD multi-cases sitting inside the box. Not much to look out, but I love these new "multi-pack" DVD cases--the ones that are just as big on the outside as a normal single DVD movie release, but they hold up to 6 DVDs. This is especially great if you want to A) just put the seasons on your regular DVD shelf or B) take a season with you, whether you're going to visit some folks, going on a plane ride, etc.

My only complaint--which almost made me give it 4--is that the set doesn't have anything in the way of an episode guide. I can find episode guides online, but it's nice to have a hard copy, and it wouldn't have cost too much to put even a flimsy little "pamphlet" style guide in each of the season sets. On the inside of each season case, there is what amounts to an episode list, breaking down which episode is on which disc--but it doesn't give the plot, air date, writer, etc. A booklet (like the ones released on the complete FRIENDS or GILMORE GIRLS sets) would have been great, but there's nothing like that in here.

1/5 FLAW IN DVD 1 / EPISODE 2
  by ROCK GODD (MID-WEST, USA)
AMAZON SENT 2 SETS AND BOTH FROZE UP IN THE SAME SPOT ON THE FIRST SEASON, DVD 1, EPISODE 2. AMAZON WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FLAW NOR GET A BATCH IN THAT'S CORRECT ANF OFF'D THEN BY DISCOUNTING THEM IB THE GUISE OF A GREAT DEAL.

5/5 I love this Show

I do not understand what took so long for this to come out on DVD. I love this show. This was a ground breaking show. The DVD collection comes in 6 cases. 1 each for seasons 1 thru 5 and then 1 that has a CD with all the music on it and a DVD with extras on it.

This was money well spent. A show that stands the test of time.

4/5 I love Ally McBeal: The Complete Series!!! Especially when it's on a deal!
  by Y. Chen
First of all, I'd like to thank Amazon for putting this product on for deal of the day for $79.99!!! I was so excited when I saw the deal, and I ordered the item in a heartbeat! Also, the shipping time is amazingly short. I love how I am always pleasantly surprised to get my shipment from Amazon so early! Thank you, Amazon.

As for the product itself...
I love Ally Mcbeal! It used to be my favorite show to watch on TV every Monday. I looked forward to the release of the series for so long. It was very nice to see that finally all the seasons and episodes are in the same package all together. It was also a nice bonus to see the collection of songs in the final disk.

However, I have to say, for a long awaited series dvd like Ally Mcbeal, I would've expected more from the packaging of the dvds and also the DVD menu. Everything seems very basic. The menu interface seems like it is something that is bootlegged. Also, I would've expected more special features as well, (i.e. deleted scenes, gag reels, etc). I like the collection of songs a lot, but the CD would've been even better if it had included the songs sung by Robert Downey Jr. as well.

Overall, I am satisfied with the product because of the show itself.
