DVD Reviews of The Complete UFO Megaset
DVD Review: Money poorly spent
Summary: 1 Stars
As a child of the 60's, I thought UFO was pretty cool. Now, as an adult, I can realize just how poorly put together this show was. Bad acting, bad wardrobe, bad sets. Star Trek was shot along the same time this was and they had a lot better scripts, sets, wardrobe, actors, props. $80 down the drain.DVD Review: Commendable resurrection of old series
Summary: 5 Stars
It has been two decades since last seeing this show on TV.It features a truly futuristic style and interersting plots.Special effects are great.Acting is excellentDVD Review: UFO

All about sex teaasing. Insulting. Started the First Disk. Stopped it and deep sixed it.DVD Review: Simply fun and entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
This was such a good show, still don't know why it left us so quickly. Some might think it's a little "campy" today but back then -- it was so cool. And I think it continues to be. This was an era when there were so many changes happening ... heck, Neil Armstrong walking on the moon was still news ... that SHADO wasn't beyond our scope of possibilities.
Characters are very interesting. And how many young boys didn't want to be Col. Paul Foster? (NOTE to James Bond producers: you blew it when you decided against Michael Billington as the "new" James Bond.) But everything about the show was, and continues to be, fascinating.
An excellent buy. If you are too young to remember the show when it aired on tv, take a chance and buy this series. You will be entertained.
DVD Review: ONE OF THE CLASSICS OF ALL TIME
Summary: 5 Stars
I REGRET THAT THE SHOW WENT ON FOR SUCH A SHORT TIME. NETWORK EXECUTIVES MUST HAVE THEIR BRAIN IN THEIR BUTTOCKS FOR CANCELLING A GREAT SHOW LIKE THIS SO EARLY AND HAVING SOMETHING AS SILLY AND STUPID AS STAR TREK GOING ON FOR EVER. THERE IS A SENSE OF REALITY TO THIS SHOW THAT HARDLY EVER FOUND IN ANY SCIENCE FICTION. I DON'T GET TIRED OF WATCHING IT OVER AND OVER.
Description of The Complete UFO Megaset
UFO was Gerry Anderson's first live-action TV series after a decade of producing such children's animated classics as Stingray (1963) and Thunderbirds (1964). The premise of UFO, which ran for a single season of 26 episodes in 1970, was like a more serious version of Anderson's Captain Scarlet (1967): in the near future of 1980, a high-tech secret organization, SHADO, waged covert war against mysterious alien attackers. Ed Bishop played the American head of SHADO--he had been previously featured in Captain Scarlet and Anderson's Doppelganger (1969)--though in all other respects this was a thoroughly British production. As with all Anderson series, UFO evidenced remarkable technological inventiveness and groundbreaking production values, coupled with startling lapses in fundamental logic too numerous to list.Much more adult in story and content than earlier Anderson productions, and surprisingly dark with its pragmatic view of human nature and downbeat endings, the show now seems like a forerunner of The X-Files and the equally short-lived Dark Skies (1996). Barry Gray's memorable theme and atmospheric music greatly enhanced the overall impact. Stylishly made, though terribly sexist by current standards and featuring eye-catching costumes more fitted for a campy dress party than the front line of a futuristic war, this cult classic eventually evolved into Space: 1999 (1975).
The UFO DVDs have been beautifully designed and produced. The mono sound is exceptionally strong, and the restored and remastered picture is almost unbelievably good for a 1970 TV show. With barely a flaw anywhere, the episodes look so clear, colorful, and detailed that they could have been filmed last week. This eight-disc megaset features all 26 episodes. --Gary S. Dalkin
