Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season 1

A REAL REVIEW!
First off if you already own the original "Star Trek the Next Generation" on the original first release DVDs than this release is not for you.

This DVD set includes precisely the same content (including bonus material) as the previous full-season TNG DVD releases. Meaning there is nothing new to this release.

This set includes all of the first season episodes of the show, and it get's a 4 star review because I simply do not like the new packaging as much as I liked the original first DVD release.
This release is simply to put the show back in the market as the original packaging is no longer being produced.

The price issue is not a big issue, if you have not bought the original DVD's than you are getting 26 episodes for about $1.80 per episode. That is a good deal being most digital episodes sale for $1.99 or $2.99 for HD.

Being a lot of the original packaging for each season is still being sold here on Amazon you could get each season...

Great show, HORRIBLE packaging!!!
As a lifelong Trek fan I had always avoided The Next Generation. I had NEVER seen the show until recently. I fell in love with it when I watched the first Trek DVD Generations, This season is fantastic, well written and acted. For me there is nothing boring at all about the show. Shop around for the best price you can find as it is pretty expensive everywhere (I paid 20.00 brand new). I only gave this 2 stars because of the packaging. The DVD case holds 7 DVDS and once you open it is almost impossible to close. A strange design and horrible to protect your investment. Maybe it is just my copy but be warned your case may not work properly either.

A Shameless Money Grab
This re-issue of TNG would make sense if it was remastered from the new HD masters with all new CGI special effects. That would at least would produce DVD's of much better quality that the poor original DVD's. I own all the original DVD sets and I'm buying the Blue Ray sets. Re-issuing the old DVD's with nothing but new packaging is unforgivable sellout of the fans.
