There are two good things about the show: the helicopter and the music.
I found myself watching the show in fast-forward and resuming normal speed when the helicopter action started.
What's up with the side-mounted rocket pods (an air-to-ground weapon) shooting air-to-air missiles?
This show is so bad that a remake would actually be better!

Simply my favourite 80's series. A real joy to see it again, and much unlike other 80's series which have a rather large cringe factor, this one is still fantastic.
The only pity is that the DVD's are double-sided and that I have been waiting a good year for the release of the 2nd season and still no hint of its release. Very frustrating.

Great Show, Bad DVD. If any show in the 80's needed a Dolby 5.1 mix it is Airwolf. They have done it with Miami Vice, which has alot of atmosphere but Airwolf is a no brainer. I am sorry to say that whoever was at Universal and oversaw the production of this dvd should be ashamed. No attention to detail as anyone that knows Airwolf realizes that Barry Van Dyke was not in the original series but he is featured on the box. No extras of any type and at only a half season, pricing like many of the other studios is bad. I mean come now, should we have to pay full price for a 11 episodes when they will charge us again the same price for 22 plus?! The scary part is that The A-Team, Knight Rider and Magnum P.I. at least got some marketing behind their releases and they continue to be released regularly. Universal missed the boat by not including a popular show like Airwolf in that mix. I hope that better heads prevail and realize that they need to treat this show better and release the rest of the seasons. Like the other shows, we know their are plenty of value added bonus features they can include. Let's hope they get better because so far Universal is weak with most of their bare minimum tv show releases. Anyone remember how bad Universal treated Buck Rogers when it came out on DVD, they cancelled a simple commentary by Erin Gray and Gil Gerard and did not include any bonus features. Not only that but the retail and even the dealer price for the set was outrageous with a little over 30 episodes and no extras, talk about gouging.

Airwolf was very much a product of it's time; it was the mid-'80's, Tom Clancy was BIG, Blue Thunder had crashed ALL OVER Los Angeles (well, Malcolm McDowell had after BT shot him down, okay?), and 'secret U.S. government agencies' were spying on all of us.
As such, Airwolf was acceptable as TV fare. Vincent was 'one-taking' his way through Hollywood, Borgnine (one of the best character actors EVER!) was backing Jan-Michael on the heroic shots, and Alex Cord had a steady supply of gorgeous ladies, all dressed in white as good guys and angels.
Oh boy was it dated! But it was a good series at the time. And I STILL like the theme music AND that beautiful Bell 222 (although they could re-do the series now with a Bell 430 and get better flight characteristics; a 4-blade main can actually DO a loop!).
And the other reviewer that complained about pricing should take a look at Paramount's prices for ANYTHING Star Trek; they set Trek Season sets at 3 times the price for CSI, and yet CSI is still in production, and more popular than Trek EVER was (and I'm an OLD Trekkie!).
Go figure.

Lets starting boycotting TV series to DVD box set, from Universal/MCA, they are the only ones, that charges the highest price. Also Universal/MCA are the only ones, that don't provide the original music, so maybe if sales drop, they will start providing the episodes uncut, with the original music, instead of the cheap substitute music, they give us now!
