Nice set Just prefer Standard packaging

Great miniseries and happy to have it all in a limited number of disks. My preference would be to have it in a different storage format so I can store it with my other DVDs instead of finding a logical way of storing such an odd shaped box. A great set to have and I have enjoyed the series itself.

Roots of course is a classic. I had seen the episodes several times before so I new what I was getting. The collector case the DVDs came in was a nice bonus. I was disappointed however because, I paid the extra cost to get new DVDs, and the DVDs I received appeared used. All the disks were scratched when they arrived.

Roots

All the discs of Roots voice sound did not match the lips of the actors. The discs also would pause a few seconds as a freeze of the movie then start up again. I want to exchange this package for another.
Please email me on how to go about this process.
Thank you so much,
Gwen

Great mini series

I would have to rate this mini series as the most powerful one to date. I remember being aloud to stay up and watch it when I was about 14 to watch it. I purchased it to watch it with my soon to be teenage son. It is like watching it for the first time, because I don't remember it all that much.

A truly timeless film..........

I'm at that age where I can say I saw this when it was originally broadcast. It had such an impact at that time. It was amazing to listen to people discussing the characters in it.

I bought this for my wife (at her request for you out there that are snickering that a guy might buy something for his wife that he would like too)!!! Anyway, we sat down and watched it all over again. We would stay up late just wanting to watch one more episode (insert droopy eyes here).

It's a wonderful portrayal of a family's history through the years of being a free person in their native land to being taken prisoner and serving as slaves for so many years. It's certainly something we all need to be reminded of now and then......if we don't pay attention to history, it's destined to repeat itself.

I would recommend it highly to anyone.
