This is a fabulous series that I (many years ago) watched on tv as a child. Now is my senior years what a joy it is to watch episode after episode that you can sit down with your children and grand children and watch good clean entertainment with no profanity, references to sex, and all the other offenses to human morality. What a blessing these old black and white programs bring to our living room. Thanks for the opportunity to share these feeling. The above is as to the content of the discs. I do not like the packaging of these older series when they come in one container with the dvd's in a black paper sleeve. When you purchase Robin Hood by the yearly season they are packaged properly in individual plastic clamshells. If it wasn't for the packaging in these sleeves I would have given the series a 5 star.

Best recording of the classic series I have seen to date. I was so impressed with this Very well done Black and White TV show from the 50's. It still plays very well with an excellent cast and story lines, Watched as a child and found this super low priced set and gladly did not pass up the chance to see it all again for the first time in over 60 years. Buy it, I promise you will not regret this purchase, it is a very good copy that plays well. The sets and cast are all classic English actors and the sets are superbly filmed for TV shows of that period and in many authentic English sites. Only thing it is missing is subtitles which is helpful in translating the Queen's English into American slang for all us horrid corrupter's of the true English language. No regret its great.

It was great seeing a show that was entertaining me when I was age 6-10. My brother was born in 1956 and he wants me to send it to him. I said no way "Its mine". Boy just like back then, we never really grow up just get more serious. The acting is king of hocky but very Errol Flynn like. I also ordered the 1961 movie which had a lot of the same character actors. The movie was in Color. If you want to show how TV was in the 50's this is a great example. I enjoyed every minute.

I remember racing home after school every afternoon to watch the reruns of this series in the 70s. My friends and I liked the show so much we played out Robin Hood scenes on the playground. Surely it couldn't be as good as I remembered? I mean, everything is better when you're 9 years old, right? Well, Robin didn't let me down! Aside from the 1950s sound and occasional dark(B and W)scene, this show is as thrilling and entertaining as I remembered! It has all 4 seasons, each half-hour full of well-paced witty dialogue, funny moments, serious moments, sometimes romantic moments--and nothing rude to shield the kids from--all wrapped up in the best theme song you will ever sing along to. And despite all the old and new versions of the legend, to me, there is only ONE Robin Hood...the ever-merry, dashing Richard Greene!!Read full review
My boyfriend actually was the one that bought this set. He said he remembered watching it when he was a little boy. I started watching it with him and I really enjoy it now too and I'm a girl! Anyway, it has great story lines, each episode is only a half hour long and they are all happy endings... which we all need these days. If you are old enough to remember this series (and even if you're not)you will enjoy. Who doesn't like Robin Hood and to watch a little story that makes you feel good at the end? The price is right and, for as old as the series is, the quality of the DVD's is outstanding.
