Complete Series 1-3 Airwolf
Review date: 2008-02-12 Rating: 10 out of 10
There were only ever three 'proper' series of this excellent show starring the original cast: the ever excellent Jan-Michael Vincent (I send best wishes to him wherever he is), Alex Cord, Ernest Borgnine & Jean Bruce Scott.
I'm glad this doesn't carry the inferior and rather rubbishy (yawn) 4th season. Season 4 should NEVER have been made, it was just NOT even good enough to carry the iconic name of Airwolf as it was just a vain attempt by the studios to hack it's proverbial cash cow to death - and what a spectacular failure it was.
I'm more than happy to have this COMPLETE SERIES of the ORIGINAL Airwolf, shown in it's correct order and it is great to have it, my only gripe is the artwork, or rather the complete lack of it. T'would have been nice to have an episode listing and a few internal photos. That said, it's better than not having it and it is fantastic to have the whole and complete series of Airwolf, released in it's entirety as it should be, WITH NO INFERIOR IMITATIONS!!!
Now if we can only get the powers that be to release all 8 seasons of Simon & Simon I'd be a really happy camper.

Not Every Episode
Review date: 2007-12-05 Rating: 4 out of 10
Whilst this series set is fine, it's not really the complete series. There was a 4th series, 24 episodes made on the cheap with a lesser cast (no-one from series 1-3 was in it other than a minor transition roll for Jan-Michael Vincent) and a lot of re-use of the previous 3 series footage.
Probably not what most fans call a real series of Airwolf, but never the less it was a series, so I'm rather disappointed this is being released as athe complete series when it's not.
The ultimate three seasons of 80s aerial action

Well, how many have dreamed of this day when all three CBS seasons of Airwolf were released together on DVD... and a Region 2 exclusive (at the moment) as well. Packaged in some nice minimalist artwork, the three previously-released Season Box Sets are together here (minus the awful Canadian 4th Season) for the first time.
Bottom line, if you haven't bought any of the other three and have been meaning to remember Airwolf from the 80s then this is for you; however if you have then Universal-Playback haven't made any further effort to include any extras whatsoever so only completists and the die-hard Airwolf fans need apply. To complement these three seasons of the show, you may be interested in the official digitally remastered re-release of the acclaimed Airwolf Themes soundtrack which has been released from late December 2007 on Apple iTunes... just Google 'Airwolf Themes' for full details from the official website.
