JAG was a great television show and I've wanted to buy the complete series for a while now. Trying to buy each individual season was going to be really expensive, so I never bought any of them. When I found out that this complete series package was going to be released, I immediately added it to my wish list. Maybe I am a bit impulsive, but I purchased this from Amazon the day it was released. I have been in JAG Heaven ever since.
The package is really just a wrapped set of the individual season boxes, but this was not an issue for me. The DVDs are placed, two per case, inside the thin DVD cases. This is a very nice setup and it does not require a lot of shelf space. The show was broadcast in 4:3 aspect ratio for most of the first 5 seasons, but it eventually does move to widescreen format. So you get some episodes in 4:3 and some in 16:9. The quality of the video is good and it looks nice on an up-converted 1080p LCD screen. The audio is encoded as Dolby Digital, so all of the surround features are carried over.
Additionally, I have used RipIt on my iMac to make digital copies of some of the DVDs, and this has worked great. So if you have portable devices that you want to watch JAG on, RipIt will convert these for you.
I am very happy with this purchase and I believe that Amazon's price for the entire series is more than reasonable.

This is each of the 10 seasons of JAG shrink-wrapped together instead of one big box. My husband and I preferred that because we've found that big box sets are harder to store, often poorly packaged, and don't offer great extras in most cases. We also own all of the seasons of NCIS, so it's nice to finally own the pilot episodes for that show (which are in season 8, episode 8.20: Ice Queen and 8.21: Meltdown); we have both enjoyed the rest of JAG too, so we decided to get them all instead of just season 8.
The DVDs are in thinpack DVDs cases, one box per season, two DVDs per thinpack, 2-4 thinkpacks per season. The format varies because the first four seasons were broadcast mostly in 4:3 aspect ratio and then in widescreen (16:9) for most of seasons 5-10. Some shows from the 90s (which is when JAG started, with the first episode shot in 1995) don't look good on our big-screen HD plasma, but these looked sharp. They sounded good on our surround system as well (Dolby Digital).
At least right now, it's cheaper to buy these as a set than get each individual season, so this is a good deal that I would recommend! If you want to read info and reviews of each individual season (because, as I mentioned above, this is just the 10 individual seasons bundled together), go to the links below:

I am a JAG junkie. In my view, JAG is the very best TV series EVER. JAG had it all: action, adventure, drama, mystery, intrigue, suspense, romance, and even an occasional touch of comedy and soap opera. This COMPLETE set includes all 227 episodes including the final 1st season NBC episode "Skeleton Crew" which was NEVER originally aired, but was largely included with a different ending as a "flashback" in the 3rd (2nd CBS) season episode "Death Watch", A viewing will quickly make it apparent why, as does the bonus "making of --" feature. Both the video and audio quality of this set is excellent, with original formats (4X3 in the first 4 seasons and 16X9 thereafter) preserved. If I have any negative criticism at all it would be the packaging, which is simply all 10 individual seasons with their individual season boxes (usually 4 disks per season). I think that now that all seasons are available that they could have done a bit better with the packaging. At any rate, I you love good TV, get JAG. You won't be sorry.
