Just a reminder to everyone that the V Complete Series came out on DVD today. It's nice to have these on DVD so I can finally get rid of my VHS taped off of Sci-Fi (and worse than that, my VHS that were recorded in 84/85). In terms of a quick review, let me again reiterate that it's nice to have these on DVD. That's about it.

No extras to speak of, which is a bummer. It seems like where most of the stars from the show are now that they could have got a few of them to do commentary or a retrospective documentary. Oh well. Video quality is at best like watching standard def TV. Since these were shot for TV they aren't in widescreen. Warner didn't put any extra time into remastering these in any way (which I notice they also didn't do for the Batman Animated Series box set, but at least it had extras and commentary on 2 episodes) so it's just a bare bones version for you and for me.

Oh well. I still loved the TV mini-series, and actually enjoyed a few of the series episodes. These shows hold a special place in my childhood memories, I know a lot of fans bag on the series, but it did have it's good moments.
