Summary: This is a total rip off!
Review: I am a huge Andy Griffith fan, and own most of the VHS tapes of the episodes. I was excited about them coming out on DVD.

I bought this not knowing how many empisodes it would contain, but thinking it had to be at least 30 considering I own DVDs with 6 episodes on them. BUT instead, it has only 10 episodes (2 on each DVD). Most of these episodes can be found on VHS or DVD for far less the $37.

Be warned!

Summary: TAGS collection review
Review: I was about to buy this DVD on Saturday, but I decided I would wait til' the price goes down or wait until the first season comes out. I also saw what company these DVD'S were from (Madacy Entertainment) so I said "forget it"!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic
Review: If you like Andy Griffith this DVD set is a must. I have owned these shows on a cassete and this is so much better. Same old Andy but digital.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: TAGS watchers, do not waste your money!
Review: Not what I had hoped for. The opening theme is missing, The transfer to DVD is poor and there are only 10 episodes on 5 discs...2 per disc! I would not but this if I knew then what I know now...This is in spite of the fact that I now live and work in France and felt like I really needed a Mayberry fix to get me in touch with my roots....

Avoid.

Summary: i hope they burn in hell
Review: only truly evil marketing people would dream up a blatant rip off like this. everyone associated with this project is living evidence of the likelihood that there is no god. if there is, their flesh will stoke the fires of hell. otherwise, i hope everyone responsible loses the use of at least one limb.

Summary: Terrible
Review: The themesong has been removed and the copy looks like it was shot from a video camera off TAGS playing on a tv set.

I figure the person that gave a five star rating was the owner of Madacy. Amazon really should not let the DVD distributors/owners rate their own products. This is the first and last Madacy product I will ever purchase. I'm really surprised to find big retailers carrying this [product]!

Luckily I found the set in a junk bin for [money].
I thought about giving the set to someone for Christmas, but it is so bad I would be embarresed to give it as a present. I guess I'll just donate it to charity and write the loss off on my taxes.

Summary: Not what you would expect
Review: This collection does contain the Andy Griffith episodes it states, however the consumer is short changed in several ways. First, the official (whistling)opening music is omitted for whatever reason. Second, the quality of episodes is suspect. Third, considering what they are charging for this set, one would expect more episodes. I highly recommend not buying this item. I would wait until other Andy Griffith DVD's are released containing the same episodes. As a matter of fact there are several episodes in this set that are on other Andy DVD's.

Summary: The Andy Griffith Show - 5 pack
Review: This is the lamest video product i have ever seen. First of all, there are only two episodes per disc for a total of about 50 minutes of video. DVD's can hold AT LEAST five episodes per disc : what a tremendous waste of space and packaging ! Next, the wonderful @ familiar theme song has been REPLACED (if you can believe that! ) by new elevator-type music. Man, what genius thought that one up ? Third, the video images are horrible and look worse than rabbit-ear antenna reception in a thunder storm. Finally, the "special features" are so pathetic that i honestly think that fifth graders could do a better job. I love the old andy griffith shows too much to remain silent about this incredibly bad product. Consider yourself warned and "nip this one in the bud." Nip it, nip it, nip it !
