    PLEASE RELEASE THE REMAINING SEASONS ON DVD. THERE ARE STILL FANS OUT HERE OF THE SHOW. THIS SHOW SHOULD HAVE NEVER ENDED. IT'S A CLASSIC ALL THE WAY. hide « show »

    the show is horror at it's best. last halloween i showed it, and my kids enjoyed it tremendously. this is one show that should not have never, ever, ever been cancelled. each actor/character was perfect for their parts. the way they handled themselves in situations was awesome. the writers of this show are making a mistake. this was one of their masterpieces. as i said, this is one show that should have not been cancelled. please, release the other seasons and /or bring back the show. thank you. will be looking forward to seeing the other seasons released or maybe a marathon on tv. keep the terror coming.

    Addictive show! hide « show »

    I'm a fan, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I was hooked ever since I saw it and I never missed an episode. Besides the X-files it was my very first paranormal show and the actors were fine with a capital F.

    I admit that the special effects had lots to be desired and most of the times the dialogues were absolutely corny, but all that are forgiven. It's just a show you either will hate or love and nothing in between. I mean, a secret organization who do their best to protect mankind from all the dark evil in the world, what's not to love?

    This was a little before my time, i bought the DVD set and was pleasantly supprised. hide « show »

    This show finished before i ever really got into TV, that being said i still went ahead i got the season one DVD set and really enjoyed some of the stories. So are really bad, but others are very good. I wasn't ecpecting much but i did like it. I really want to see seasons 2-4 but they are not on DVD yet (at least not in the UK), and so far i havn't heard that they will be releasing it. Thw writing to most episodes is good and most of the charactors are mildly intresting so hopefully i will one day be able to see the complete series. Honestly this is a very under-rated show, which prehaps could have gone on longer than it actually did because 4 seasons isn't that long, pleantly of potential stories are left to be dealt with.

    One of the three best TV series of all time. As soon as it is available on DVD I will buy it. hide « show »

    This is a series that is, knowingly or unknowingly, based on reality and fact. There is such a secret order that has existed, at least as far back as the middle ages. As such it rates as one of the best quality, informative distributions of information to the general public that has ever been made. I am hoping it comes out on DVD soon. Obviously I would like to purchase it.
