Hey, It Is What It Is!
I was torn between giving this DVD collection 4 or 5 Stars. This TV show probably won't meet the standards and expectations of many, but I figure anyone who is seriously considering this item for purchase is likely already familiar with Friday The 13th The Series. The show is over 20 years old... it is what it is... in terms of quality and value, I feel it's worthy of a good solid and fair 5 Star Rating. I'll just make a few additional comments.
Currently Amazon's price tag on this item is $90.99 (a savings of $11.48 over buying the 3 seasons individually). It's really not a bad price for 72 episodes (17 disks). One thing you should know is this is NOT a fancy boxed set. There is no collector/storage box or extra DVD full of special features.

Just finishing the First Season of this 80's classic. The special effects are very cheesy & low budget. At the same time though it is great due to equally cheesy acting by Robey (the red head). I really enjoyed this show when it was originally on. The title honestly is what grabbed the attention, but once you began watching it you could not stop. You were & still are hooked.
The Sci-Fi Channel has been playing re-runs of this for some time now. This was the only way to really watch it. Luckily we now have it on DVD. The quality of picture is not the greatest, but it does not become a distraction when viewing. The sound is about the same. The...
Cool
I'm excited to see that the entire series is available in a set now and Amazon is selling it cheaper than the three seasons sold individually. I have fond memories of this show. It was one of the shows that I used to stay up to watch. In the last season it sort of fizzled out but I'd still like to see it again.
