Hogan's Heroes - The Complete Series (1965) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like me, you'd probably be happy to spend the money they're asking for this complete set of all six seasons of Hogan's Heroes. If it were only the show being reviewed here, 5 stars wouldn't have been enough! But like me, you'll probably also be disappointed when you receive your package only to find that there is nothing here that you couldn't have gotten for around $23 less by just ordering the individual seasons at (current Amazon price) $15.99.
It's a sucker deal! There's absolutely no advantage to paying the extra dough because you get nothing extra for the money! Not even a nice box to contain and/or display the set, nothing at all other than the same six seasons, in the same untidy packaging that you'd get for the lower price of $95.94 if buying the seasons separately! And with Amazon's free shipping on orders over $25 or free 2-day shipping with an Amazon prime membership, shipping costs don't play into it at all.
The set doesn't display nicely on a shelf because the spines aren't uniform, nor are the seasons identically packaged.
Season 1: 5 discs, each in its own slimcase.
Seasons 2 and 3: 5 discs in only 3 slimcases (per season), meaning that two of the three cases contain 2 discs each.
Seasons 4, 5 and 6: 4 discs in two slimcases (per season).
That's 6 sets in boxes of three different sizes with unidentical print design on the spines. There is no "good side" to display!
What the...? Add it all up and you have an untidy, not so great looking set for purposes of presentation on a shelf or media rack. Still, it's Hogan's Heroes! Buy it, but be smart and buy the separate seasons!
