Customer Reviews

New Packaging Reduces Price
So, I believe that this is a re-issue of the original first season that must have been discontinued. When I ordered this, I couldn't figure out why the price was so low. The packaging is much smaller and simpler, with all discs inside of a case barely larger than a standard DVD case. They are arranged in a similar fashion to some of the Full House DVD's, where the discs lay on top of each other, slightly overlapping. I believe the first season of House does this as well.

So, if you don't really care about having extensive packaging such as the 24 box sets, you can't go wrong with this for the price. The show is wonderful, and I'm glad that I'll be able to add them all to my collection at this price. (Also posted this review for season 2, since the packaging is identical.)

Has CC's
I wish the manufactures would understand how important CC's are to people who are hearing challenged. I received all 5 seasons of Alias and was disappointed because the packaging did not state that there were CC's. After spending much time, on the internet I could find no documentation of CC's and was ready to return them. At the last minute, I decided to try season 1 anyway. I am so glad I did they do have CC's. I really liked this show and had been disappointed twice by other shows that did not have CC's. Thank you ABC Studios for having them, but it would be helpful to people like me if it was stated on the case and on the web sites. I have not been buy any shows that do not have CC's, however this time I had borrowed the older set from a friend and assumed that the newer version did also.

The Best Show...no longer on television
Season 1 of Alias hooks you. The story of how Sidney gets entangled into living double-lives is immediately intriguing. The characters are talented and work extremely well together. This show has everything...kick-butt action, suspense, drama, and romance. This was hands-down the best show on television, and since it's no longer on tv, the only way to see it is purchase the dvds. You won't get bored from watching it over & over again.
