DVD Reviews of The New Avengers '77
DVD Review: The New Avengers ,1977 (Season 2)
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed the show, both season 1 in 1976 and season 2 in 1977.
Best I can remember the show came on late at night and the show should have been renewal for a third season.
The show had an excellent cast as well as a beautiful female lead actress.
The plots of the show was good also.
DVD Review: LOVE IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was a youngster, I remember staying up late on Friday nights to watch "The CBS Late Night Movie." Which was usually an episode of "The New Avengers." Good memories.
The new Avengers is a great show. Purdy, Gambit and Steed are all great. Nice bit of humor about the show too. I bought this DVD set as soon as it was released and was very happy!
DVD Review: Started strong, finished weak
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the Avengers and own most of them. I was running out of things to watch so tried the New Avengers 76 and really got into it. I enjoy Purdey and Gambits chemistry on screen. Unfortunately the last few episodes are in Canada - and while at first it was funny and something different, I just didn't enjoy it as much.DVD Review: Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
Summary: 3 Stars
Steed, Purdey, Gambit. A great combination. Action, espionage, quirkiness. Most of the ingredients for a good series.
The middle has dropped out of the mixture in the oven.
This series is a little soggy throughout. I have watched it several times and for some of the episodes that is certainly more than a little too much. What is missing is not just the quick witted repartit or even the sense of intellectual snobbiness that goes with some of the stories. I even thought that the story with Martin Shaw and future colleague Lewis Collins (of the Professionals) was not that much irony.
No, what was missing most to me was the lack of originality of the story. The Avengers reduced to the status of the very bureaucrats that they had sent up so successfully in the past, although I think that the Mother joke went on far too long. The show just became another boring mundane sort of spy story but just did not meet the bill. Taking the show out of London did not work too well either just as getting rid of the classic cars, although I do remember Gambit's S-type Jag rather well.
Sad end to a once great series but at least Patrick Macnee had some decent parts not like those he would play once in America. For completists only.
DVD Review: A Fond Farewell to Steed & Co.
Summary: 5 Stars
For my taste this collection hit the spot- a look at Patrick MacNee and his newest cohorts for one last time. We get to see a brief (although obviously hastily shot and inserted with a heavy hand) retrospective of Diana Rigg as Mrs Peel, a few episodes shot in Canada (finally they drive on the right side of the road), and like one other reviewer enjoyed, the episode called 'Emily'. For me this one was worth the price of admission for the last time I saw it broadcast it had been edited for higher advertising yield, and some of the best comic moments were gone. So for what it's worth, here it is. For me some good memories are reborn.
