I really enjoyed watching this. I absolutley loved this show when I was a kid. Sure there are the same nitpicking things that are found some of the other 80's shows like the same plane exploding in every episode, the same mountain range even though they are supposed to be in Mexico, Alaska, or even over seas. But it was a pleasure to see Jan-Michael and Ernest again.
All in all I rate this a 4 out of 5. I would have given it 5 stars if it had more value. There is only 11 episodes in the first season and for $30 it's not quite the value of some of the other TV on DVD offerings out there.

Well it was about time. I have been a huge airwolf fan ever since it premiered on network television in the 1980's. A TV series of this calibre should have been released on DVD a long time ago! This DVD collection is a little thin on the extras or "Goodies" you see in a lot of boxed sets, but the digital transfer on both the audio and video side is superb. If you are an airwolf fan, or a fan of such shows as "Knight Rider", "Seaquest DSV" or other such shows that feature high tech, futuristic devices or vehicles such as myself then this item is WELL worth the price.

Airwolf is certainly not "art" and I doubt anyone will ever compare Casablanca to Airwolf, but is sure fun. The acting is bad, the melodrama is laid on a little thick at times, the plot was thin at times, but it was still a fun show. I have always wanted to buzz around the So. Cal. desert in a Mach-1 helicopter. :-)
When this show was actually on as a series, I had to work on Saturday evenings and often missed it. I never saw the series pilot (probably one of the worst Airwolf episodes ever shot) so now after almost 20 years I got to see it.
When this show was on I became really interested in helicopters. The nearby medical center purchased a Bell 222B for air med work. On the week of delivery, it crashed and burned (everyone got out okay) on the street next to my apartment and right in front of my eyes. As horrifying as that was to watch, I was fascinated by the sleek design of the 222. The Bell 222 (and now the Bell 422) remains the hottest looking helicopter in the air.
I ordered the first season DVDs the week they became available and spent that entire week's evenings watching (and sometimes watching twice) each episode. I am anxiously awaiting the release of season 2.
While the DVD set does have kludgy navigation menus, double-side DVDs, and no special features, it is still a great addition to my collection.

This series was one of the best in its day!!! Its too bad Jan-Michael Vincent decided to turn to alcohol so heavily, thus ending the series. However, while it was here you had a great storyline with an exceptional cast. Ernest Bornine plays a easy going character, Dominic Santini, who is the owner of Santini Air. Dom is the only surviving family friend of Stringfellow Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent). People will remember Ernest Borgnine from his earlier series, "McHale's Navy", and he brings that same great wit to this series. Alex Cord plays Michael Colesmith-Briggs III codename Archangel, who is one of the higher-ups (executives) at the firm (CIA) that developed Airwolf along with its creator, Dr. Henry Moffet (David Hemmings).
This show is a roller-coaster ride from the beginning, and Sylvester Levay's terrific score blends right into the show!! If "24" were to add a suped-up Bell222B to Jack Bower's arsenal, then you'd almost have a modern day Airwolf!!
The only downside to this DVD set is the lack of extras that we're all used to. However, if you liked shows such as Knight Rider, The A-Team, MacGyver, and Magnum P.I., then this would be a great addition to you collection!!

One of the better shows in the 80s along with Knight Rider. Airwolf is and excellent show. The best episode is the first one with the showdown with Moffett. Acting was a bit stiff. I wish there were more extras for the DVD version.
