The Dresden Files - The Complete First Season
For all the crap that is now on TV that has been extended to more seasons (example The Reaper) have you thought about putting "The Dresden Files" on a differnt channel. I KNOW others will watch it. Please, please, please bring it back. I type 9+ hours a day for pathologists, dealing w/cancer & dis-ease all day long...this show has jazzed me up and unwinds me with the metaphysical and some GOoD in the world...I loved Bob...pls, again find another channel to take it...I am sure it will go over. I am just wrecked that all I have to watch over and over is this one DVD set. Find a way, the world needs "Harry"!!

DVD Review: excellent thriller
Summary: 5 Stars

i enjoyed watching this series and enjoyed watching the season one dvd's and i hope to get any other episodes of these series when they come out . thank you.

DVD Review: Thrill, mystery and a cast with great chemistry
Summary: 5 Stars

The Dresden Files was one of the best Science Fiction series ever
produced. I personally rank every episode with the best Star Trek
episodes or any other series for that matter. Each story has thrill,
mystery and cast with great chemistry. Unfortunately SiFi
never advertised it, as a result it flew under the radar until the
last few episodes. Despite this dereliction, the Dreden Files has
accumulated a large following. I have shown Dresden episodes from the
DVD to several non-SiFi viewers and have them hooked. Whenever we pop
a DVD in, they now want to watch "another Dresden". The Dresden Files
was a huge success, SiFi's ability to recognize this, market it and
put in an appropriate time slot were a failure. I still hope to see
it return.

Summary: 5 Stars

i do not think they should have canceled this show it was awesome...I even like the fact that they change some facts that were not in the book...well on some things I would have like to see this show grow and i am mad that i did not get that chance...

DVD Review: SCIFI Made a Mistake
Summary: 5 Stars

There should have been so many more episodes of this show. Yes there are differences between the novels and the series, but they make sense and they work. It's a great AU 'verse for Harry, and I enjoyed it tons.

Shame on you SCIFI for not doing more seasons.

Description of The Dresden Files - The Complete First Season

Based on Jim Butcher's best-selling novels The Dresden Files chronicles the cases of no ordinary detective. Harry Dresden (Paul Blackthorne) is a wizard the only one listed in the Chicago phone book. He's got a handle on the crimes that can't be solved by anyone else. Paranormal? No problem. Dresden deals in all matters of supernatural threats. If you need a little hocus pocus or some other worldly advice Dresden's your man.System Requirements:Running Time: 530 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 012236216889 Manufacturer No: 21688

The Dresden Files is about a wizard named Harry. "Good marketing," a cynical observer notes in one episode from the Sci-Fi Channel's one-season wonder based on the books by Jim Butcher. "Couldn't you come up with something a little more original?" Actually, this series manages to be plenty original despite echoes of The X-Files and the 1970s cult classic The Night Stalker. Paul Blackthorne stars as Harry Dresden, a scruffy Chicago private eye whose gift comes in handy for children menaced by skinwalkers, or for offering Lt. Murphy (Valerie Cruz) of the Chicago police "an unconventional point of view" concerning grisly, bizarre cases involving werewolves, vampires, and other decidedly unfriendly spirits. The Dresden Files is a paranormal noir (para-noir?) that deftly balances genuine scares, hard-boiled moxie, and tongue-in-cheek humor, delivered with panache by "Bob" (Terrance Mann), an ancient English spirit who resides in a skull and gives.Harry supernatural assistance. Harry's backstory--magician father, wizard mother, treacherous uncle--is revealed over the course of these 12 episodes. The eighth broadcast episode, "Things That Go Bump," was reportedly intended as the series pilot, and may be the best place to start. But Harry's world-weary voice-over in the classic tradition ("If you're a wizard and you fail, people can end up dead") keeps viewers oriented. Low ratings made The Dresden Files disappear, making this DVD set welcome for the series' hardcore fans who mounted the ultimately unsuccessful letter-writing campaign to save Dresden from the "Brilliant, but Cancelled" files. But even those who are unfamiliar with Butcher's books or are not on the Sci-Fi Channel's wavelength will be charmed. --Donald Liebenson
