Doesn't hold up. Loved it in the 60s when I was little. My kids don't get it.

This was one of my favorite TV series as a kid. At first it was an adjustment watching a TV series in black and white again. After a couple of episodes it didn't matter. I bought both volumes for season 1 and my son and I stayed glued to the TV until we watched all of the episodes. For me, finding this TV series on DVD was almost like winning a small lottery.

With so few newer shows out there that I enjoy, it's nice to be able to go back in time when TV shows were...well.......really good! This is a fine example of TV in it's prime. Well written stories, great acting and FX, drive these Sci-Fi adventures. I have read that there are some glitches with some of the disc. I have had no problems....yet! I will add information if I do find any problems. Until then..... prepare to dive!

I watched Voyage as a child and loved it, who didn't since we hadn't seen Star Wars yet. The quality of the mastering and the clarity on the DVD's is great. It's amazing the concepts and situations they came up with for each episode. If you want to relive a quality show from your childhood the Vyage DVD's are worth purchasing.

I purchased Season 1, vols 1 and 2, Season 2, vols 1 and 2. Season 1 is all B&W, Season 2 is in color and adds the Flying Sub FS1.

Combine Sea Hunt, James Bond, and Star Trek and you might get something like this show. In 1964, the brave new worlds weren't out there in space, but deep beneath the sea. David Hedison is fantastic as Captain Crane, and if the science is now and then a bit sketchy, the Navy part rings true. Absolutely tuned to the pulse of the viewing audience, Irwin Allen ushered in non-stop adventure. Great dialogue also made this a not to be missed hour. Even if you don't think the show was a five, the set is. Three cases hold three double sided discs in a slip case. If the price seems low, it's because each season is broken into two sets. The menu for these dangerous waters is easily navigable. "Fox knows TV DVDs" claims their PR, and it's true. Instead of beseiging the viewer with ads and trailers, they merely include tasteful printed leaflets showcasing their line-up.

The extras include the "never-before seen pilot episode", but that's really the first episode, "Eleven Days to Zero", only it's in color (the rest of the episodes in season one are in black and white). Besides the sixteen episodes in this Season One Volume One set, there's a promotional reel, stills, and a "home movie" from Irwin Allen. It's interesting to compare the color pilot with the 1961 color feature film of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, which had an entirely different cast including Walter Pidgeon and Barbara Eden. That stunningly beautiful SF film is also now widely available. The show is also notable for its underwater scenes, and a chance to see AMF/ Voit diving gear circa mid' 'sixties. Over its four year run the series also spun off numerous games and toys. Journey back to '64 with the crew of the Seaview.
