Rating: - combat
Just finished Season 1 & 2, and so far Season 3 Operation I is just as good. A lot of good episodes in this set. To those that see trees instead of forests, "The Duel" episode might seem stupid, as the German tank commander is an idiot to waste all that ammo in his attempt to get one soldier armed only w/ a Thompson. However, it was one of may favorite episodes in this set, as the story is just about the competition that occurs between the 2 men. Yeah, the tank commander has an EGO the size of ... Read More
Rating: - Contains my favorite COMBAT! episode---Duel
I loved this show in the 1960's when I was a kid and it was great to see it again on DVD. The DVD quality is outstanding and so are the commentary tracks...I loved hearing them. This particular set was special to me because it contains my favorite episode, Duel. This is the one where Sergeant Saunders single handedly takes on a German tank while his driver is pinned under their truck stuck in the mud as the tank approaches. Top quality series on a top quality DVD release.
Rating:  - A bona fide win for the American media
Combat does for WWII drama what "Have Gun Will Travel" does for westerns: It elevates them to a new and much more gratifying level. Each story has a distinctive plot, convincing acting and lessons that are imparted indirectly and subtly which is how thoughtful audiences like to be approached.

Rating: - Best season of the series!
All the seasons are worth viewing, and, yes, could have carried on probably one more season. Season 3 probably doesn't have the single best episode, but is of the highest quality episode to episode of any season.
Since I've viewed all 5 seasons, I can state that all hold up well, and you'll have episodes you love from every season. And of course, each has a clunker or two. But each season deserves at least 4 stars. Not bad for a five year run.
Rating: - More of the Best
It's more of the same as other reviewers. Just terrific, absorbing and great theartre. Enjoy it. Going to watch and episode now.
