Movie Reviews of Mannix - The First Season
Movie Review: Mannix Season 1 - Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely fabulous. I remember Mannix from British TV in the Seventies, had hadn't been able to see them all. I hadn't seen the first season before - I spent the whole weekend watching it as soon as the DVD arrived Mannix - The First Season. Great acting, great writing and great production values. It was fascinating to see how far technology has come in the last 40 years - from Intertec's huge computer room to my laptop on which I'm typing this. I enjoyed the extras and it was interesting to listen to the audio commentary on a couple of the episodes.
More please - let's hope CBS/Paramount issue the other seasons soon.
Movie Review: The One, The Only Mannix!
Summary: 5 Stars
5 stars for the show itself. 5 stars for the fact that it will be released with some excellent special features, including interviews with series star Mike Connors. 5 stars for Mr. Mannix being the toughest and coolest P.I. in TV history.
UPDATE 6/13:
The picture quality is EXCELLENT. The episodes are VERY ENTERTAINING, they are fast paced with lots of action. The special features are good, but there can never really be enough or too many as far as I'm concerned, so lets hope for some more in season 2. The interviews are a pleasure to see. The audio intros are a nice touch, I'd like to see those again in season 2. All in all it's totally worth getting, don't hesitate for a moment, you'll love it.
Movie Review: Attention Star Trek Fans, Mannix Season 1 is a Treat!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a diehard fan of classic TV, and an even more intense fan of the original Star Trek, I'm pleased to report that season 1 of Mannix caters to both of my passions. Produced at the same time as classic Trek, by the same studio and overseen by some of the same production and casting people, many familiar Trek guest stars and two Trek regulars pop up in these 24 episodes. I hesitate to be more specific lest I ruin the wonderful surprises that await you. Columbo fans will also gain considerable insight from the audio commentary that accompanies the pilot, where the conversation seems to be more about the rumpled detective in the trenchcoat than the combustable Mannix. This release is VERY highly recommended!Movie Review: Finally!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here it is folks. A ground-breaking series of its' time. TVLand had never shown this first season where Joe works for Intertec before branching off on his own. Now we get to see how it all began. So pre-order away friends. We want Paramount to know that this is a valued series and deserves to have the whole run presented on dvd. Don't let us down, Paramount, they're have been soooo many series to come to dvd, only to stop production due to sales. So, let's all get together and spread the word. Kudos to the people who pushed and made it known that there are plenty of fans of Mannix out there and would be honored to have it in their collection.Movie Review: I HAVE A BA-AAAAADD FEELING...
Summary: 5 Stars
-- that the episodes found in this box set won't be looking the way they did when they originally aired on CBS. My guess is, we are going to be getting the syndicated versions of each one...the butchered versions that were cut down by several minutes to allow for more commercials... and that really sucks.
But I can't say I'm surprised. When "vintage" shows like MANNIX finally arrive on DVD, they aren't considered important enough for the studio to expend much effort on. Consequently, nobody bothers looking for the old, uncut episodes; instead they settle for the more readily available bastardized ones. Like I said, a real shame.
