Love Columbo and had never heard of this show before. Didn't know Levinson/Link created another great show in the '70's. Fabulous.

Thanks, OP. I wasn't even aware that this old show had been put out as a DVD set, and am glad that I got the $19.99 sale price. I would've ordered it even at the $29.99 price which Amazon has since reverted to.
I loved this show way back when it aired. And can't wait to see it again when it arrives.
I'm particularly hopeful in light of the DVDtalk review that said it holds up and was even better than he recalled.

I'm seven episodes in and I'm loving it, even more than when it originally aired. I enjoyed it being a period piece when I first watched it years ago, but now I can see just how hard they tried to stay true to the era and that's always a good thing. All period pieces need the proper mood and atmosphere and this show is overflowing with it, quite unlike its contemporaries from the 70's such as HAPPY DAYS, which started out being somewhat faithful to its setting, but then just pretty much abandoned it beyond a token superficiality.

I've been wanting this show for a long time. I remember it being a pretty good mystery show (I liked it better than Columbo). A little more than I wanted to spend (spoiled by Big Lots), but went ahead with it. Can't wait to see if this holds up.
Now put Paper Chase S1, S2 on sale.

I actually rented the whole thing on Netflix recently. I really liked it, especially the retro special guest stars. I figured I could wait for a better price after seeing it so recently.

I am about half-way through this set and I am enjoying it immensely. Definitely holds up very well after all these years... the show has a very appealing charm to it. I bought this when it was $25.99 at Amazon (and was happy because it qualified for the free shipping by just a buck!)... so this is a very good price.
