  "...in the era of cell phones and the Internet."

  by big jim

  I believe 1994 was before that era. Sure, there were cellphones, those walkie-talkie style ones, or the slightly more popular "car phones", but they were hardly in wide use. Also, yes, the internet did exist but the majority of people at the time would have had no idea what it was.

  Want that SHIELD set soooooo bad

  by george newman

  resisted buying individual seasons and this is a great reward. The final season is torturous in its intensity.

  Rockford uses a cell phone (not a huge one) and Angel Martin is fencing stolen goods over the World Wide Web in the first, 1994 movie.

  I'd be all over those cheap 24 sets...

  by nasty in the pasty

  ...if they were the slimline editions. I sold my copies of the first five seasons several years back because they were just taking up too much shelf space, so I'd gladly re-buy them for this price...but the $12.99 price is only for the bulky fold-out cases that NO ONE likes. Hell, I'm STILL waiting for a slimline version of the Alien Quadrilogy, which is nearly taller than I am when I completely fold it open.

  Cardboard sleeves on "complete series" sets

  by nasty in the pasty

  WHY do they keep dong this?! You;d think people who are interested in dropping anywhere from $100/$200 for a complete run of a TV series would also be interested in packaging that doesn't scratch the shit out of the discs every time you take one out, but 90% of these complete series sets have the discs in those scratch-inviting sleeves instead of on sturdy spindles. I'll just take the individual season sets over that crap any day of the week.

  Hercules, even so, I don't see 1994 as falling into

  by big jim

  "the era of cellphones & the internet". I would see the early 90's as on the brink of that era, or at the dawn of it - the period when they were just coming into the public awareness but before mass consumption. I know, it's just semantics, but to me the "era" of something would be when its existence and influence are acknowledged and experienced by the majority of the population - when it "matters", when it makes a difference if people's lives. Although, I guess in this case it made a difference in Rockford's life but then we all know he was an early adopter. After all, he had an answering machine in the '70s.

  I've got every box set of original Rockford series

  by stabby

  and love them. But, I don't know if I'll be picking up these tv movies. And I also didn't realize they made so many of them. I saw maybe four of them. How did I miss the others? It's just kind of sad to see characters you loved grow old. And Garner was no spring chicken in the 70s. But, I must admit it was fun to see Angel looting during the LA riot and watch Rockford and Chapman go head to head one more time.

  by the way..

  by emeraldboy

  edge of darkness and house of cards are two of the best series bbc ever produced. and micheal wearing produced them both. Ian richardson was never better as Francis Uarqhart. and you can see how he brough all the villainy of richard the 111 into the role. it was a series that was uttetly prophetic. their is a ring of truth to the whole trilogy. the west wing may brought americans inside the oval office. the brits got thier first. This was the first uk drama to have unprecendented access to the house of commons. it was the first drama to touch on mps expenses and to expose the links between big business and mps and also thier lust for power. and most chilling of here was a politician who not only wanted to attain power, but to retain it at all costs. and there is a moment where uarquart dithers about having an election. and destroys the careers of anyone who gets in his way. to play the king was eerie in its depiction of the battle of the monarchy and the pm. charles is known as the meddling prince. the third and final series is all about how F.U battles to cling on to power. but like all politicians he wants to have profitable pension. Lastly edge of darknes shook british drama to its foundations. this is a remarkable, well acted, well shoot drama. it brilliantly exposed the nexus between the state, unions, and big business. great score to by clapton and kamen. I highly recommend Edge of darkness and house of cards. House of cards was richardsons finest hour as an actor. it really is a performance of some magnitiude.

  go to youtube...

  by emeraldboy

  and watch the clip of the ex-late late show host pat kenny on rte's late late toy show. talking to jerry seinfeld. Seinfeld is not funny. he was in the uk and ireland promoting bee movie. he continued to be unfunny on friday night with jonathon ross. go to you tube for that clip too.
