My favorite episode was "The house that Jack built." I kept pondering if I wanted to purchase the dvd set. You don't own it if you stream it. And some day these shows will stop being streamed or even available to buy. It's not a bad Idea to have a spare dvd player as well.
My Mother deemed it was too scary for me and sent me to bed. I think she really just wanted to get rid of me by sending me to bed. I made the long walk down a dark hallway to my bedroom. My older brother was smirking with delight since he was permitted to stay up and watch the episode, "The House That Jack Built." I committed the episode title to memory always remembering it over the years. The cruelty that I endured by this deprivation left a deep scar that affected my future greatness is how I reasoned it. I laid in my bed quite alone in the darkness; but memorizing the title, "The House That Jack Built." It was rhapsody as I watched; and I am quite certain that the Angels in Heaven are celebrating that this injustice has been corrected.... even if it took 57 years !!! My mother lied to me as she said that perhaps I could watch it in reruns. The Avengers never came on reruns during the summer.
The video quality is very good and absolutely loved watching Diana Rigg drive her lotus convertible. For almost one hour I must have heard the flutter of angel wings !!!
I had to buy a Megatek DVD player off Amazon that would bypass the different country codes preventing my other blu ray/DVD player from playing it. I would not be denied the justice due me!!! It was 😃 great !!! I finally won even if it took me 57 years !!! I have the classic Avengers theme song on my phone... set as my ringtone. I also have a Emma Peel aka Diana Rigg print in my home. I savored this victory. The quality of this video is very good; and the above mentioned title is from the year 1966!! I won 57 years later... I am Avenged... Lol.

Not having seen the originals these appear to be exact copies of the A&E, they even have their logo on the menus.
Quality is very good except for some interlacing.
Now let's talk about the packaging. Much more compact than the A&E box set so it fits nicely on the shelf. However, all of the discs are two to a hub and the offset stacking means you have to take the top two out before you can access the bottom discs. If you look at the pictures in the listing you'll see what I mean. Half of the discs are on two hinged holders.
A word of caution, they do lock to the front and back but, when I did that I noticed a couple of the lower discs had come off and were rattling around when I closed the case. From the looks of it the hub on the hinged holder lines up with the one on the inside cover so it presses against it causing the disc to pop off. No damage but didn't happen when I didn't lock them.
As with most A&E DVD sets there is no subtitles or Close Captioning. I haven't watched all episodes but did check all the discs for the additional features and the all had small still galleries. An interesting feature on the '67 set was a resume feature from the main menu. The discs are not labeled as to what season they are and the back cover only lists the episodes per disc.
As was mentioned in other reviews, the coveted 17th disc is missing. I can see it listed for about $20, used, so you might be taking a chance. Can see one on ebay for $69, also used.
Kind of wish A&E had kept this and remastered like they did with The Prisoner. Did a side by side with their original release and there is really no comparison. It's absolutely beautiful and well worth the cost.
Of course there is the Optimum Complete Avengers with all seasons (except the "New Avengers"). Rumor has it there were some issues with some discs but, they were exchanged by Optimum.
Any way I do highly recommend if you are an Emma Peel fan.
UPDATE:
Got the Optimum set from Amazon UK. Really beats this set by a country mile. The transfers are sharper and no interlacing as far as I can tell. Here's the thing. The first three seasons were not shown here in the 60's. As they were shot on video, they were not up to the US standards as most of our shows were filmed and Soap Opera were on tape. As a result the forth to sixth were shot on film and shown here. The only release for the earlier seasons was on the original A&E videos. Seriously, if you don't care about getting the full Avengers experience, stick with this set.
The interesting thing about this set is that it includes the last Emma Peel episode which was not the last of season 5 but the first of season 6 with Linda Thorson. If you don't have the last season you're kind of left hanging.
You can still find the last season on ebay but, it's going for twice this one and really wasn't as good as these. That, however, is just my humble opinion.
Have always loved Dame Diana and glad to see she's still out there in Game of Thrones.

This is so much fun to watch, from the “serious” black and white episodes, through the more “comedic” colour episodes.
See if you can spot all the legends that appear in these stories.
It's great to now have them all collected in one set and to be able to watch them again. Enjoy the oddball humour.
