JAG: Judge Advocate General - The Complete Series [DVD]

JAG was an excellent series with good plot lines often reflecting actual events of the time. The DVDs are well produced with clear video and audio. I enjoy the mix of topics: a good military courtroom drama series dealing with legal issues in the US and abroad in both civilian and military legal realms. JAG's scripts largely reflect the military in a positive light but also point out some of the problems the military was dealing with during the 10 years of the series. It is particularly strong in laying out the armed services' viewpoints in conflicts between the military and civilians both in the US and in countries around the world where we have military personnel. Some recurrent topics were the plight of Viet Nam era POWs/MIAs, the stress of those actually in combat situations, and the role of politics and politicians and how that impacted the services' programs, for good or ill. The lead actors formed a very compatible ensemble cast which created solid development of their characters over the multiple years they were in the show. Add to that some good flying sequences and entire scripts devoted to stories on a carrier, or at a Marine base or other special locations, as well as in the JAG's offices, and you have a consistent show with venues that change often enough to keep the action fresh and interesting. Overall, JAG is a very enjoyable series which features high quality work by everyone involved.A specific note: without revealing it for those of you who haven't seen it, I particularly like the way the series ended: totally appropriate to the 10-year sequence.

I first ordered just Season 8 of JAG solely to get the pilot episodes for NCIS. I absolutely love the show NCIS and had already ordered all available seasons (1-6) of that show. So I get season 8 of JAG to get the pilot for NCIS and fell in love with JAG as well.I ordered this complete series set and started at the beginning and soon found that I couldn't quit watching the episodes. The series is more addictive than chocolate -- and that's saying something! I am currently on season 6 (out of 10) and find myself wishing that they had made at least 10 more seasons of JAG. The hours spent watching these shows are wonderful. I feel that Mac, Harm, Admiral Chegwidden, Bud, Harriet, Yeoman Tynner, and all the rest are part of the family now. I can't wait to see Mac get rid of Mick, however!The purchase and delivery itself were standard Amazon -- sterling quality and service! The product came exactly as promised and very quickly! I love Amazon.com and wish everything I order online was of similar quality and service...Now...if only I could find another product that could give me the wonderful hours I am enjoying with JAG (and NCIS).And the icing on the cake with JAG is that you can sit and watch episode after episode without having to worry about its appropriateness for all ages. No cringing over foul language or inappropriate violence, either.I heartily recommend this purchase.

Just ordered this product recently, bought directly from Amazon, LLC (the seller and the shipper were both Amazon LLC).Horrible picture quality. What a disappointment.The picture quality was extremely FUZZY, BLURRY and/or GRAINY for virtually every tape in this huge collection (except maybe the last 2 or 3 seasons).I'm not exaggerating either. The video quality resembled a hugely compressed JPEG image (as you probably know, compressing JPEG images makes them grainy, blurry or fuzzy around all the details).Some seasons were BLURRY but not grainy (slight blur on the whole screen, not a lot but enough to irritate my eyes to the point I didn't want to watch it).While other seasons were very GRAINY and FUZZY, like watching a moving JPEG image which had been highly compressed.Seasons 8, 9 and 10 seemed to be okay picture wise, but just okay (not as crisp and clear as most other non-HD videos).All seasons were technically "watchable" if you don't mind squinting your eyes to see certain details constantly, but I'll pass on that option myself.Anyway........I wound up throwing the entire series in the garbage, since it wasn't worth the effort to ship them back after opening every box (money is not a huge issue to me, so I just tossed them out).I have watched other JAG episodes on DVD before (last year) and never noticed these same problems, so it's clearly a problem with the method used to create these particular DVD's. I'm not sure if this problem exists with all new JAG DVD's or just some of them. But buyer beware.

JAG was a great television show and I've wanted to buy the complete series for a while now. Trying to buy each individual season was going to be really expensive, so I never bought any of them. When I found out that this complete series package was going to be released, I immediately added it to my wish list. Maybe I am a bit impulsive, but I purchased this from Amazon the day it was released. I have been in JAG Heaven ever since.The package is really just a wrapped set of the individual season boxes, but this was not an issue for me. The DVDs are placed, two per case, inside the thin DVD cases. This is a very nice setup and it does not require a lot of shelf space. The show was broadcast in 4:3 aspect ratio for most of the first 5 seasons, but it eventually does move to widescreen format. So you get some episodes in 4:3 and some in 16:9. The quality of the video is good and it looks nice on an up-converted 1080p LCD screen. The audio is encoded as Dolby Digital, so all of the surround features are carried over.Additionally, I have used RipIt on my iMac to make digital copies of some of the DVDs, and this has worked great. So if you have portable devices that you want to watch JAG on, RipIt will convert these for you.I am very happy with this purchase and I believe that Amazon's price for the entire series is more than reasonable.

top.. effe geleden dat ik al gezien maar niet complete... enkele reeks heb ik iets gemist

Coming from the same stable as the fantastic NCIS franchise, I was confident that the price was justified. I haven't been disappointed.

La série mythique qui a donné naissance à NCIS . Agréable à revoir en dvd

Ik heb de JAG dvd-box zeer goed beschermd verpakt ontvangen. Hiervoor dank aan de inpakkers bij Amazon.nl.Ieder seizoen is in een kunststoffen case opgeborgen, waarin iedere dvd een eigen fixatie heeft en daardoor makkelijk bereikbaar is zonder kans op beschadiging. Het getuigt van kwaliteit, dat hiervoor gekozen is.De beeldkwaliteit is over het algemeen goed te noemen. Als beeldformaat wordt "Full Frame" opgegeven, zonder daarbij de aspect ratio te vermelden. Deze is 4:3. Ik vond dit beeldformaat aanvankelijk wat tegenvallen, maar het went snel.Het geluid is opvallend zachter vergeleken met andere dvd's. Het is maar dat u dit weet en niet denkt dat het aan uw apparatuur ligt. Verder is de audio goed verstaanbaar. Daar wil ik het maar bij laten.Beoordeling: 4 sterren, omdat het beeldformaat 4:3 (Full Frame) is, en het audio aan de zachte kant is.Fazit: Ik ben content met deze aankoop.

very good
