This is a great old war series for anyone who likes war movies. The acting seems better in most of the older movies and shows that had sucess on TV or at the show. Anyone looking to add this to their collection, enjoy.

The series is a classic and if your a baby boomer it brings back a lot of memories with Rick Jason as Lt. Hanley, Vick Morrow as Sgt. Saunders, Jack Hogan as Kirby, Dick Peabody as Little John and those who played Doc and Caj as well as the very first two seasons with Billy.
The show itself was a great show for it's time and even holds up yesterday and if you get a good set it's worth owning. My frustration is that the set that I ended up with has a large amount of digital distortins on many of the episodes which takes the enjoyment out of watching such a great classic. Their needs to be much better over sight and quality control when DVD's are made with video transfers to DVD on such shows as Combat. If you bought this set and have no problems that is great but I would like to know how many others also ended up with a set with digital distortion that ruins the episodes and enjoyment of watching an old favorite and classic such as Combat. This set should be five stars but with the digital distortions I can barely give it a three star.

"Combat!" was the most realistic, exciting and emotional show in television history. This gem about a squad of soldiers battling it out in WWII after D-Day did not glorify war, though there were lots and lots of actions scenes and firefights, but instead focused on the individual soldier and how he dealt with the war personally and as part of a brotherhood. Terrific writing, superb direction, believable characters and slam band action were the trademarks of this true TV classic. Big name directors and actors lined up to become part of the show which ran for 5 seasons and 152 episodes on ABC and has developed a huge following to this day. The series regulars were superb and believeable. Vic Morrow, Rick Jason, Jack Hogan, Piere Jalbert, Dick Peabody and Conlan Carter all shone on thier own unique ways. The characters of Saunders, Hanley, Kirby, Caje, Littlejohn and Doc have become etched in our minds forever. "Caje, take the point" was a phrase uttered quite often as myself and my childhood friends would act out the episode of Combat! we just watched and now as adults we see the show in all it's glory we may have overlooked as children. My only "complaint" about the show as in any show with recurring characters, we knew our heroes would not perish. We knew they would get the job done because there was another to do subsequent week. As an adult, it lessens the tension a wee bit but who really cares? These are our heroes and we want them to succeed, not die and the characters and actors pull it off so well, it really becomes a mute point. I loved that the Germans actually spoke German. so what if we didn't know what they were saying? Whatever it was, it had to be bad and something that could hurt our beloved squad. My biggest disappointment through all this praise, and I feel it is important, is the lack of respect Combat! gets in the mainstream. Fine, it can stay our "little secret" but please, let's give credit where credit is due! this was the finest example of dramatic television in the mediums history! Let's recognize that! Let's not forget about it! When classic TV is discussed, let's not forget Combat! Please don't push it aside and bury it like the mainstream has! It is an important show and one that should be seen again and never forgotten. And how about giving Vic Morrow a star on the hollywood walk of fame!

Combat - The Complete Series If you're a Baby Boomer like me you grew up watching COMBAT on TV and the cast of characters in the series are indellible parts of your life. Suffice it to say that this is one of the best purchases i've ever made! It's so great to relive WWII adventures with Lt.Hanley, Sgt.Saunders, Caje, Kirby, Littlejohn, Doc, etc, in the greatest TV show ever produced! I am so glad i bought this 40 disc set; it is a vital addition to my war movie collection. COMBAT was a very important part of my childhood, and now my adulthood. I highly recommend this box set!
