Rating:  - My husband just about LOST his mind when he opened this for Christmas!!
I purchased this set for my husband for Christmas and he flipped out!! He didn't know it was on DVD yet! I have a picture of him in his CAPE with his notebook in toe (with all the gibberish inside)! If you know of anyone who is a fan of this CLASSIC show, it is worth every single penny! We have watched it and laughed and laughed and laughed. Good, clean humor is something missing from so many shows on TV today!!

I wathed the series original run as a teen, and knew then it was cheesy back then. Of course it was in the era of A-Team... another show in which violence was often implied, but rarely seen. I now watch shows such as 24 in which are much more graphic.
Re-watching Greatest American Hero as an adult, I realize my perception as a child was correct. It is CHEESY... but ya know, sometimes I just wish we could turn back the clock a little and have Maxwell Smart, Steve Austin and Ralph Hinkley over for borad games in the wood panel den.
Rating: - This DVD box set is everything you expect and more!!!
I originally heard about the Greatest American Hero DVD series set from a friend who showed me the one that he had purchased. The attention to detail and the fact that it included so many extra items made me go and get one for myself.
First of all, this is a numbered boxed set. There are only 20,000 made total. That right there makes it a collectible. Second, it was amazing what they decided to include in the set. You get a cape, which is acceptable looking (mine is still sealed in the plastic bag). You get an iron-on transfer. It's kind of cool, but I would never apply it to anything (partially for fear of looking like the biggest geek ever). Lastly, and arguably the coolest part of the set, besides the DVD's themselves!) would be the battery-powered instruction manual with details that are exactly like the one seen in the pilot episode of the series itself. All of this comes in a nice metal tin too. Wow!
As far as the actual episodes are concerned, it is great to be able to see all of the original episodes (in order) of this awesome series that has been taken off the air long, long ago.
I highly recommend purchasing this DVD box set. It is: collectible, cool, and hours of enjoyment.

i bought this for my brother for christmas, since we have such fond memories of it as kids. christmas day he calls and says that he and his girlfriend are flying around their apartment with the cape on. they love the instruction manual and aparently there is some episode of a attempted greatest american heroine...but didnt make it. he is normally someone who doesnt open collector things so i was shocked when i found he had. he said he couldnt help himself. anyway, excellent product.

The folks who decided to release this Box Set were obviously committed to giving the consumer/fan a real treasure. There was a lot of thought put into the packaging. The enclosed cape and alien suit instruction booklet are the icing on the cake. BRAVO!!! Thanks for wonderful memories.
