My complaint regarding this product has nothing to do with the content (which is excellent) nor with the price (a very good value) but with how these DVDs have been released previously. I purchased each DVD starting with season 1/2 for full price as/before released. I own all 7 seasons and also purchased Homicide the Movie. Now, A&E releases all 7 seasons + Homicide the Movie + the Law and Order crossovers in this great packaging for an unbelievably low price. Those of us that purchased as I did cannot buy the Law & Order cross over episodes because they are not offered for sale seperately. I feel cheated. It is also sad that Amazon could not use some of it’s buying power or influence…

I ordered this item in June with a ship date of early July. Then the ship date was later July, then it was August and now it’s mid-October! While I think we would have really enjoyed watching the complete series I have canceled the order. Six months for a DVD set is waaaaaay toooooo long to wait.
So beware – if you order this today you might get it for Christmas.

This has to qulify as one of the finest examples of intelligent drama written in a tv world devoid of very many examples of such. Well written script and dialogue; superbly acted with thought-out script and plot. The producers succeeded with their plan to have a tv crime show without the inane and ubiquitous car chases and flying bullets of most shows in this genre..

This is a great set to own if you have not already purchased the individual season sets. Like many other people I feel ripped off by A&E because they will not sell the 35th disk seperatley. When A&E re-released their “Avengers” mega set there was also a bonus disk but it was also sold seperatley so why was this not done with “Homicide”? I would gladly pay for the “bonus” disk with the “cross-over” episodes and the “Homicide” TV movie but I will not pay $170 just to get that one disk.
