Big Bang Theory: Seasons 1-7 [Blu-ray][Region Free][UK Import]

My wife got this box set for Valentine's Day and we watched all of the content together. This is a truly great value. As newcomers to the series we both enjoyed getting to know the characters and laughed out loud on several occasions. Many of the scenarios are recycled from older sitcoms, but the mere premise of several "nerd" scientists and a wannabe actress becoming unlikely friends provides a fresh concept which produces many unique scenarios. In this day and age of numberless CSI's and "reality" shows, this one stands out as a very entertaining alternative.The packaging isn't anything special, but the content is very good. The episodes are displayed at a high resolution and there are plenty of extras included on each disc. I'm not sure if it is indeed region free, but all discs worked well in both my Samsung and my Sony blu-ray players in the USA. Complaints about difficulty with the menu are well founded, but only for the first season. A poor highlight color was chosen, rendering it very difficult to discern which menu option is highlighted. The menus on other discs are easier to see.

I waffled on whether to buy this since the reviews were hit and miss, but I watched every disc and had no problems. I’d never have known it was a UK export. I had concerns about some of the other customer reviews, so for anyone who wants to know:1. I have a US Blu-ray player, and every disc ran fine. I suspect that some people had problems because their firmware is not up to date. (If your blu-ray player has wi-fi, you’ll probably be fine.)2. The discs run at 1080p. The pilot episode is a bit grainy, but all the rest have a great picture. It’s a softer HD than most movies use (probably because it was shot for TV) but it’s MUCH cleaner than DVD or even HDTV quality.3. The menu always gave me the chance to resume and picked up right where it left off.4. The menu of Season 1 is hard to navigate because they picked a bad highlight color, but the other 6 seasons’ menus are fine.I honestly thought this deal had to be too good to be true, but I’ve got no complaints.

This is a review of this Blu-ray set and not the show itself. I offer it because I was concerned for quality at the low price of the set and not simply relieved but pleasantly surprised to receive a product superior to what I expected at a much higher price. Sound and picture are excellent on this set. Disc are secure in plastic cases and came in excellent condition. It has all the standard features you expect of a blu-ray but also some very nice features I haven't seen before. Within a season you can click to a particular episode and even if that episode is on a different disc, the interface will tell which disc to insert and begin at the episode you chose with no fuss. Captions are available. No problem with a US made blu-ray player. Price is good. If your a fan of the show this is a great deal, snatch it up.

Arrived in 2 days via prime shipping. There was no apparent damage to the packaging or disks that I can detect (I noticed some reviews which indicated damage). The box set is three jewel cases and is really just a no-frills box set. If you are buying it you are doing it for the show and not extras. That said, it is seasons 1-7 as advertised and worked perfectly in my Samsung player.So far I have tested the first disk of season 4 and have had no issues. The set is far cheaper than the individual seasons so for me it was a no-brainer. I was able to borrow the first three season from my father, but my wife did not watch it. Did the first 7 just in case she decides to check it out.

Bazinga! See what I did there? You thought I was going to leave a negative review because of the title, then I clearly wasn't. Classic Sheldon.My wife and I love this series! The box set is great. I noticed some other reviewers complaining of the quality of the first season. This is to be expected if you are watching the Blu-rays on a high definition TV. The series started before High Definition & Digital broadcast was the standard. After the first season you will notice when CBS switch to digital. Also, there have been comments about the menus on the first season. Yes, the color scheme was poorly chosen. However, none of these are deal breakers. Overall great series and a great deal on this box set!

I have recently 'found' this show. Even with all the re-runs on TV, I still could not get enough of Sheldon, Amy and the rest of the gang. I looked all over for the seasons I had missed, and wow, were they expensive! Not expecting to find anything new or less expensive, I still looked on this amazing Amazon site. I found it! And the price was so right. I was my Christmas present to myself. I thought there was going to something wrong with this buy because it was so inexpensive. I have watched four of the DVDs in the set and there is NOTHING wrong with them. I love this buy and think anyone who loves this show would love this set too.

Fear not. All of the episodes are full HD. Yes, the initial episodes appear to have been shot with different cameras or lighting that give it a bit of a grainy look, but it it still sharp, 1080p HD video. Not sure how anyone could mistake this for SD. In fact, the menus and video quality are identical to the U.S. Bluray versions I rented from Netflix a few months ago. I will admit that the highlighting on the menus in the first season is subtle and you need to look closely to see that the selected item is a slightly different pale color than the unselected items. Can't beat the price! Less than sixty bucks (when I purchased it, April 2015) for seven seasons?! No brainer.

Pros:Good price for seven seasons (what I paid for the set amounts to less than ten bucks per season).Packaging is OK. All of my discs were intact and free of scratches.Episode titles and special features are listed on the cases.Cons:Beware: the discs are Blu-Ray, but the video quality is that of a standard DVD. The only plus is more episodes per disc compared to standard DVD's.Poor menu interface. Difficult to see which icon is selected.Conclusion: a bargain, but Blu-Ray image quality is mediocre. A bit deceptive, but not a deal breaker for me.

Great TV series. The sound, when played back through my 7.1 stereo system, gives it the feeling of a stage play with the applause out front where the audience would be in a theater. Totally different as I usually just watch TV with the TV sound system and speakers, unless I'm watching a movie or a concert. One unfortunate quirk, probably due to this being a UK video, is that while the menu works, it doesn't highlight the choices. So, you have to work the remote like you usually would, but you have to guess where you are in the menu. I found this a little tricky, but was able to adapt. One plus. The color and resolution is much better than HD television. In any event, this is a classic series and the price, less than $40 US including shipping, is unbeatable. I would have given this five stars had there been no problem navigating the menu.

I take my hat off to both the actors and the writers of this excellent comedy series, which never seems to lose its edge. Each short episode is the perfect way to end a tough day on a high note. Has had me laughing out loud on several occasions, even when watching on my own. Terrific Bluray image and this boxed set is fantastic value.

I absolutely love this show, it is easily one of my favourite comedies of all time. I recently decided to give it a try and fell in love straight away, it is so addictive. Of course I just had to own the box set!

Love this show and now have it in Full HD. I just wanna point out however that the Pilot Episode isn't in High Definition but only the pilot. The rest of the episodes after that are in glorious HD and its fantastic.

I bought this set having never seen an episode of the show beforehand. It was on sale during black Friday for an amazing price I couldn't pass it up. It contains the same 14 blu-ray discs you'd receive if you purchased every season separately. I found the picture quality to be a really stunning HD presentation. I fell in love with the show after a couple episodes. I'm very pleased I acquired this set and at the much lower price than buying the season sets individually I think you would also.
