This is one of my favorite shows as a kid, had all the episodes still taped off on vhs , upto the dvd boxset coming out. So i was tickled pink when i heard this was coming out. There is next to no extras and poor transfer to dvd, episodes are actually on both sides of the dvd only single layer (not dual layer printing), no extra money was pumped into in proving the quality of the dvds, even the skip chapter sections are none lined up well with the story (you know where you don't want to watch the opening credits of every episode on a 15 hour marithon), you get stuck rewinding a bit. But saying that , this show is a must have, definitely dated for the time, but just bringing back all the cool memories of the show of when i was younger made this a must have purchase. If you like campy acting sometimes, but overall a great show, that should of been given a second season, give this a tryRead full review
its a show I love but the set I got was not clear so I sent it back and got my money but its a very good show and is good for all ages 1 day ill try to buy it again but from some 1 else when it was on tv I could not wait till the next show
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
It is not a lot of episodes but I loved seeing it again. It is so entertaining, well written and so much imagination. It was a used set but no problems. This set is a bit different that others I have had. There are 2 episodes on both sides of the disk. And it doesn't show the next episode till you go back to the menu. Once I figured that out, everything worked out well. Good set and good seller

It's nice to relive the magic of yesteryear, and this series was no exception. Science Fiction fans such as myself enjoy seeing the old shows and discovering new faces we've seen before. I never knew the actor that played G'kar in Babylon 5 was a bad guy in Alien Nation. I wonder how many more people we now know played roles under the makeup before we knew them? The humor and the cultural references have not been too dated. I find this pertinence to today's state of affairs interesting. All-In-All, a Good Show....Worthy of a repeat showing. Even if Sykes was a Vulcan that gave Scott Bakula a hard time on Star Trek: Enterprise...
ALIEN NATION WAS NOT ONLY GOOD SI FI, IT ALSO SHOWES US HOW WE ARE LOOK UP ON BY OTHER BEINGS, IT ALSO SHOWES US THAT OUR IMPRESSIONS OF OTHERS DIFFERENT FROM US LEADS US TO EXAMINE WHO WE ARE, AND WHY WE THINK OTHER PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT FROM US. WEATHER WE BE ALIENS FROM ANOTHER WORLD OR JUST FROM A DIFFERENT BACKGROUND, ALIEN NATION MAKES US LOOKS AT DIFFERENT PEOPLE NOT ONLY FROM OUR EYES BUT HOW WE LOOK TO OTHERS. ITS GREAT SI FI AND WELL WORTH WATCHING. IT SHOULD RANK WITH STAR TRECK AS A CLASSIC TV SERIES ONE WORTH WATCHING OVER AND OVER. AND THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT IT BOTH ENTERTAINING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING. ENJOY.
