Mannix: The Final Season



Getting Season 8 Is A No-Brainer
Diehard Mannix fans will be standing in line to buy this release.

Mannix ran for 8 years and 194 episodes. Only 130 were syndicated in the U.S. after the show went off the air in 1975. The remaining 64 episodes comprised all of Season 1, most of Season 7, and all of Season 8. Now that Seasons 1 and 7 have both been released on DVD, this release will close the loop on all the "missing" episodes that Mannix fans have been talking about and hoping for over the past 37 years. And since the quality of the first seven releases were superlative and uncut, this edition should prove to be a real treat, too.

Pre-order it now!

Mannix remains the best detective show
I have purchased and watched all 8 seasons of Mannix DVDs, most of which I watched when it was first aired. For those who are unfamiliar with this fantastic series, you might wonder should you start with the first season or the last? Although Season 1 offers the added bonus of an interview with Mike Connors, I believe the show really hit its stride about two-thirds of the way through its run. By that point Mike Connors and Gail Fisher, his costar and African-American secretary, had developed a genuine rapport. Throughout all 8 seasons Mike Connors remained a credible action hero since he has the athletic ability to carry off the running, jumping, climbing, fighting, and skiing that his role required. The series is noteworthy among crime shows in that it consistently had a respectful treatment of blacks, Mexican immigrants, and Mannix's Armenian heritage. While the final episode in Season 8 does not end with a grand finale, it did carry on the show's consistent high quality with...

Excellent Quality DVDs!
We all love the Mannix series....'nough said. I purchased and watched them all, and wish to assure all purchasers that you will be buying the highest quality dvds I have yet to see, other than perhaps the Lucy series. No glitches, freezes, skips, audio drops...nothing bad at all. Very pleased, indeed, and this quality endorsement goes for all of the previous season's worth of Mannix dvds. Simply, the best!
