Summary: Amazing show, picture quality could be better.
Comment: First, a review of the series itself: 5 gigantic gold, gleaming stars. I caught a few re-run episodes on Encore Westerns and fell in love instantly. Amazing cast, phenomenal acting, great sets, and no gore. It achieves that delicate balance of drama and adventure of the genre without the violence and sex that plagues most modern movies/show today. I really credit whoever cast the series because each actor shines in his role and their personalities play off each other perfectly. I am saddened that the series was cut off after two (all too short) seasons and was floored when I heard that it only came back a second year after an intense fan campaign. Once again primtime networks don't know a truly good show when they see it.
So why 4 stars? I was very disappointed at the picture quality of the DVDs. In the age of digital media when consumers are seeking crystal clear imaging, this set has the graininess of a VHS. Acceptable for an old show of the 60's or 70's, but one that aired in 1999? No way. The quality of the current TV re-runs far exceedes these DVDs. Apparently this is just a re-packaging of the individually sold seasons so I can't imagine that purchasing them separately would be any improvement.
That said, don't pass up the series on that account. Better to have it available with a sub-quality picture than not have it it all. The subperb show itself far outweighs this one downfall and I look forward to re-watching both seasons again and again.

Summary: Magnificent Seven, tv series
Comment: I had never seen the tv series when it came out. But looking at the other reviewers comments made me take the chance on this western. I'm glad that I made this purchase. The series is very entertaining, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

Summary: May not be great as the original but it's definitely worth watching...
Comment: Let's start with the:
Pros: Action packed. Tight-story. Plots and sub-plots gets resolved by the end of the story. Good production values. Michael Biehn was a good fit to lead this heroic posse.
Cons: No matter how many times these guys roll on the dust, jump to a pit or anything that has to do with grime and dirt, they always stand up looking spick and span... super-clean. This removes the realism from the story. No bonus materials on the DVD!
The box set comes in 6 discs in 4 slim packs (thin packs). Easy to fit in your DVD shelf. Even if you are not a fun of western shows but prefer action ones, then this show will not disappoint. There's oodles of it from start to finish.
Who said the West can't still be won even at this era? The Magnificent Seven just proved... it can be done.

Summary: Worth every penny
Comment: How did I miss this when it was on tv?
This is a wonderful western. I have loved every minute of it.
First, there is the eye candy that is very lovely to look at. Wouldn't it be great to live in a west with men who looked and acted like this LOL?
Second, it has little bad language and the gore factor is nil. I realize that a real-life cowboy in a gunfight would not say, "Oh dang!!", but I get the idea. I know that in a real gunfight, knifefight or fistfight there will be blood, guts and broken bones, but I don't really want to watch it happen. I realize that in real life the "ladies of the night" wouldn't be beautiful and sweet, but I don't really want to see the real thing.
My tv shows are my escape FROM life. And this one has succeeded wonderfully.
It is worth every penny plus more.
This is a show that I will be rewatching.
