Poltergeist: The Legacy The Complete Collection // All 4 Seasons // 16 Disc DVD set

I don’t usually write product reviews, but I felt it was worth letting other fans know about VEI’s DVD release of the Showtime/SciFi Series, “Poltergeist the Legacy” from the late 1990s.The quality of the video on the discs is excellent and the sound is very clear and sharp. I have watched six episodes from seasons three and four and the show looks better than it did during its original broadcast run - and 100% better than the quality currently found on Comet TV, the show’s current home.Fans should be very happy that the entire show has finally been released after a wait of over seventeen years (the show ended in November of 1999), particularly as some of the best episodes were from the third season. For those new to show who take a chance on it, watch the premiere episode from season one and then skip directly to these three episodes from the third season - “Darkness Falls,” “Light of Day,” and “Armies of the Night” – as these will give you an overview on how well produced the show was despite its limited budget. Other notable episodes include “Ghost in the Road,” The Tenement,” “The Signalman,” and “The Devil’s Lighthouse” – just to name a few. One great thing about the show was the cast and crew knew it was ending after the fourth season which allowed them the chance to bring the show to a proper conclusion.Underrated at the time of its original broadcast, “Poltergeist the Legacy” is a show which deftly mixed horror with a touch of science fiction and fantasy. The core cast – Derek de Lint, Helen Shaver, Robbi Chong, and Martin Cummins – all brought their talents to the table and made for a realistic group of paranormal investigators called “The Legacy.”Kudos for VEI for getting the rights to release the show. Watch this company as they are slowly but surely releasing some very rare television shows from the 1980s and 1990s – many of which fans thought would never be issued on DVD.UPDATE 7/17 - Many of the SEASON ONE episodes are in the wrong order of broadcast although all of them are included. This happens with season two with "The Devil's Lighthouse" coming before "Repentance" - but it looks like other than those two episodes being reversed - the rest of this season - as well as all of season three and four are in the correct broadcast order.Note: The packaging is not a problem at all. Although the discs are packed tightly according to each season, they are not that difficult to take out of the case. However, use caution as you do not want to scratch the discs!

I have bought this show from multiple companies. None of them compared to the quality of this set. Finally, I am able to enjoy this show. The quality is superb!!!! The First season is not in order, but all the episodes are there. I could not be happier. If you are a fan of this show, then this is the set you need!!!

My favorite show finally made it to DVD in a complete series box set. Great show and the quality of the DVDs are excellent for a show that was made in the 90's and not in HD. The art work on the box itself as well as on the DVDs is top notch. Poltergeist The Legacy has the best cast, they work well together and a long with the story lines make a awesome show. I will recommend it to those who love horror and a great show in general. If you have never seen it, it is definitely worth the watch.

Poltergeists the legacy, the complete series, is worth the money. There is a nice cardboard slipcase with artwork and product description over a very solid DVD case, which also has artwork. All four seasons are here, on 16 DVDs. There is artwork on each DVD and the episode listing for that DVD. The DVDs sit securely in a deep crevice. Each DVD is in a vinyl slipcase with finger slot for easy extraction of the DVD. These vinyl inserts are attached by a soft spine, this enables you to flip through the seasons as easy as the pages of a book. I only watched a few so far and I can say the picture and sound quality is very very good, so is the audio. There is no close captioning or extras. Seasons three and four are in their proper order. Season two, disc two the second third episode our reversed. Season one, several episodes are out of order. So far this is not a problem each episode is self-contained and the viewing order doesn't seem to affect the viewing. The stories are actually a little on the scary side with unexpected high quality special-effects. For the price Amazon is offering this set, is well worth the money. I give it four stars, only because the first season episodes are jumbled.

I’m surprised to find I did watch half the episodes back on cable, glad I could revisit the Legacy and catch all of what I missed in the way of episodes and story continuity.

Great movie, watched the whole series, loved every minute of it.

This set exceeds all expectations! The transfer quality of picture and sound are excellent. In 2010 I bought Seasons 1&2 as an Amazon exclusive special. That set was expensive and the quality was mediocre at best but it was all that was available at the time. When I saw this set, the price was reasonable so I ordered it because I wanted the complete series and the missing 3rd & 4th seasons. My previous set is in the garbage where it belongs.

The dvd disks played fine and the disc box was the best I have every seen. The dics are stack on top of each other but they are in separate sleeves so they will not get scratch or fall out. The dvd is just perfect..
