Combat!: The Complete Series

Repackaged and ready to hit the beach!!!!
an absolute baby boomer favorite (I should know I was in LOVE with this show as a kid).... I saw it for 99 bucks today at Costco and THAT is why I am writing to let folks know that as of 11/7 it is already on the shelf and barely under a hundred bucks. I have the previous edition and from what I understand nothing (other than packaging) has changed....

This show followed a small group of men throughout WW2 and while the Lt Hadley (Rick Jason) was picked to be the star , in short order Sargent Saunders , played by Vic Morrow , stole the show out from under his pretty nose and became a hero to all us kids in the 60's. Shot on the back lot in Los Angeles and featuring directors like Richard Donner and the late great Robert Altman and guest stars galore from James Coburn to Lee Marvin... this collection is essential to my DVD collection. The first seasons were all black and white with the final in Color. In my opinion the series didn't yet run out of gas but was pulled for...

this rerelease of Combat contains the same material, but at a lower price...
The ABC series Combat (1962-67) followed the adventures of a small group of American GI's who land in France on D-Day, and engage the enemy in battle for five seasons. Producing a prodigious 152 one hour episodes, Combat remains the longest running World War II drama in television history.

Vic Morrow, who would tragically perish in 1982, during the filming of Twilight Zone: The Movie, played Sergeant "Chip" Saunders, who's weapon of choice was usually a Thompson submachine gun. Previously known for playing mostly heavies, Morrow became a TV icon, as the heroic Saunders.

Morrow and Rick Jason, who played Lieutenant Gil Hanley, were the only actors to appear in every episode. Other key members in the squad were PFC Paul "Caje" LeMay (Pierre Jalbert), PFC William Kirby (Jack Hogan), BAR toting PFC "Little John" (Dick Peabody), and "Doc" (Conlan Carter).

Focused on the experiences...

COMBAT - ALL 5 SEASONS
First 4 seasons in Black & White and 5th season in COLOR.
Vic Morrow is superb and carries the whole show. WWII Combat at it's best.
High quality Black & White productions with detailed fighting & combat scenes.
The best all around Combat series in the history of Television.
It is also a FAMILY WATCHABLE Production.
I Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed 60s television...
