Diagnosis Murder: The Complete Collection

Who doesn't like Dick Van Dyke? It's a good old show, good mystery solving.

Great old show. Nice dvds

Very enjoyable crime Drama

If you like Dick Van Dyke then you'll love this set. No problem with dvd quality. All the fun of the show, and no time-sucking brain-numbing commercials!

I received this set I bought with Christmas money. Diagnosis Murder Complete Collection arrived in perfect condition and early. After reading reviews concerning sync issues before purchasing, I put season five disc 4 in right away. Though I haven't watched the last four episodes entirely that give other buyers issues I did watch a few parts. Sync is working to me so far. I will watch them before 30 days is up just to be sure and update this review if I am wrong. I don't have any idea why people complain about picture quality and this is someone who prefers Blu-ray. The series is in full screen format and looks much better quality wise on my high definition TV than all seasons of Matlock I purchased separately at a time. If I had more money, I would have purchased Blu-ray, but for a TV show I don't think high definition makes that much difference or matters. After looking at screenshots on Blu-ray. Com, Blu-ray doesn't appear to have made that much difference unlike Charlie's Angels and The Rockford Files which are older than Diagnosis Murder. I'm 28 so I was too young to have watched the series during its original run. I did watch some episodes during rerruns with my mother. By the way the five movies are included in this set. I love this show!!! If you like Hart to Hart or Murder, She Wrote, you will love Diagnosis Murder. The other two classic shows have the same premise. Mark Sloan seems to have the unusual knack of finding murder happens wherever he goes just like the characters of the Harts and character of Jessica Fletcher on Murder, She Wrote. I'm so glad I purchased this set!!! I wonder if other buyers may have purchased used sets resulting in sync problems. Seems odd only some have had this problem if others aren't having issues. It's always best to buy in new condition. Just be sure to put season five disc 4 in first just to be safe before your 30 days runs out. Good luck and enjoy!!!

Without a doubt a great treat for fans - and overall a wonderful collection. As stated, all 8 TV series and 5 movies are present, as well as the bonus episodes of Jake and the Fatman and Mannix etc.The video quality is generally as good as it can be, 720x480, although everything is interlaced which is a bit nasty. A good deinterlace will do wonders though and this will look pretty great - especially the later series'.The discs are clearly made to a budget like other reviews have noted, as they have some dud areas fresh out the box which make playback freeze up. Maybe I'm lucky but I've experienced this on 3 of the 48ish discs I've tried so far and skipping forward 30 seconds has resumed playback fine, so I'm not too bothered about it. I'm not sure how a standalone DVD/BD player would handle it, but playing in a computer with VLC these bad areas of the disc are easily jumped over.The cases are similarly a bit cheap. I had this shipped internationally which is maybe my own fault, but several of the cases had loose discs upon opening them up. Luckily only one seemed to have sustained real damage and I think it'll buff out just fine, but be a little cautious. I also have one or two disc trays whose center clips won't hold a disc securely, and the folding central parts that hold the additional discs feel like they wouldn't stand up to much punishment - although mine are all intact and fine.Lastly, the one real actual issue I had was when I got to the end of season 7 and put the last disc in. It was episodes I'd already seen, and upon closer inspection, I had a duplicate of the last disc in season 5. VEI happily sent me a replacement disc after I emailed them, which arrived promptly and works fine, so well done them!In the end if you really want to see this show again this is kinda the only way to do it, so if it's worth it to you you should buy it, it's ace!

Great

Thank you, Diverse Discoveries Depot, for doing such a good job with packaging! My DVD collection arrived without a single scratch or break. I would definitely buy from them again. As for the discs, they are playing pretty well except that one episode (so far) has skipping issue. The show is enjoyable and Dick Van Dyke is always a kick to watch!
