Rescue Me: The Complete Series

A for the Show, F for Package Execution
I love this show and bought each season individually. I thought I would like to have the show in one boxed set instead so I purchased this item. What a mistake I made. There is a reason this packaging is half the size of the individually boxed seasons. Upon opening the set I had a hard time getting the center to slide out of the shell. Turns out the inside is very flimsy and cheap! It opens out to the two cheapest plastic [don't even know if I should use that word to describe the material] containers. Each container holds half of the discs on a flimsy spindle. There is nothing to protect the discs from one another, they are just stacked on top of each other. The worst part of this packaging is how they chose to keep the discs in place. They chose to insert round brown cardboard pieces stuffed into the containers. They might as well have used duct tape instead. This is by far the worst packaging I have ever seen in my life. I can't believe they chose such inferior products...

LOVE this show, but the way this was handled is just wrong
If you're considering this, you've already seen the show, or you're a fan. It's a great show, of that there is no doubt.
The problem with this is the packaging. It is so horrible that the entire thing is just unprotected.
Would you just throw your discs together somewhere, leaving them unprotected? That's exactly what the individuals behind this product expect you to do. Two separate 'halves' of the box, each have a spindle to put your disc in, collecting them in a group. Talk about a huge, huge mess, and massive problems when it comes to keeping discs protected.

A+++++ for the show
F----- for the packaging!

Great price for the complete series. Packaging not a problem for me!!!
Got this in the mail today for a great price. I myself have absolutely no problem with the packaging!!!. I have "Sanford and Son" CS , and "Soap" CS and both are packaged the same way on spindles & NONE of the discs in any of these sets are scratched or even have a mark on them!!!. Is the packaging a little cheaper?...Yes Is it a problem?
...I definately think not. Its nice to have the whole series in a much more compact case for a much cheaper price than the individual seasons. Very pleased with my purchase. Great price for a great series. Definately Recomended in my opinion, and don't let some of these comments about the packaging deter you from getting this set as the discs are fine packaged this way!
