Mannix: The Final Season [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Great classic TV. Loved this show as a kid and enjoy watching it again as an adult. The DVD quality is great!

I am very happy with this purchase. Season 8 (the final season) is very good, better than I expected. Every episode was good, and some of the episodes were very good.

I purchased every season as it come out, and with the hundreds of DVDs I have, I still managed to watch every episode before the next season was released.The story lines (generally) continued to be very good, and there are some outstanding episodes in this final season.The only bad thing -- it is the final season.A terrific private detective show that still stands the test of time.Buy it!

As I write this review I'm in the middle of watching the episode "Hardball" which not only is the final episode of the season, but puts a seal on the entire series as well. This is it-unless you count "Hard boiled murder" but that's really part of the "Diagnosis Murder" series. At the end of every review for this show I used to request Paramount to release the next season--regrettably this time that's not possible, unless, of course, in a rather very unlikely event we can convince a now 87-year-old Mike Connors to revive the show for a 9th season (don't count on that!)this is it. John Ritter makes a guest appearance in this last episode. Most of the action takes place at a court house w/ several folks held hostage,a wounded Art Malcom among them. Gail Fisher is not in this one, in fact no scenes at 17 Paseo Verde either. Other familiar faces are guests here. Rue Maclanahan plays the mother of a kidnapped daughter in "Game Plan". Pamela Franklin plays the victim of a hit & run, coming out of a coma in "A Fine Day For Dying". In "Portrait of the Blues" Larry Storch (remember him from F-Troop)plays a crooked manager for a folk duo. In "Green Men" Mannix searches for a counterfeiter & Russell Johnson plays one of the hoods in this one. Oh, & here's a nasty one! "A Word Called Courage" & another one of Mannix's fellow Korean War vets is at it again--this time locking him up & torturing him. Some of those guys who served in Korea with Joe are exactly the reason vets need to be treated for PTSD. Bill Bixby appears in the "Empty Tower". Another cool one is the 2-part "Bird Of Prey" where Mannix is is in South America & almost framed for a presidential assassination. That episode by the way was based on a Victor Canning novel "Birds Of Prey". And just only moments ago I finished watching season 8 & guess what-I put season 1 back in (Intertect) showing the 1st episode "The Name Is Mannix" with a somewhat younger looking Mike Connors-that's right I'm starting to watch the series all over again. Few episodes from season 8 I ever saw before but most I've never seen until now, as everything from the first 7 seasons I've seen multiple times. Now I sure hope Paramount moves on to releasing later seasons of "Cannon" & "Barnaby Jones".

All seasons are well done . Glad I purchased this . Great clarity and well constructed episodes . l wish TV was this good today.Don't miss this last season of episodes .
