- Does this include the later TV movies as well as the original series?
- Yes. The set is sold as the complete series and covers the NBC seasons plus the later ABC movies, so it is the full run rather than just the 1970s episodes.
- Is it closed-captioned or subtitled?
- Most editions carry English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing, but check the disc labels on the specific edition you receive, since reissues differ.
- How does it compare with buying individual seasons?
- One set covers everything and avoids gaps, while single-season discs can offer better transfers of particular years. For a first-time viewer, the complete set is the simpler choice.
- Will the episodes play on a US DVD player?
- Yes, it is a Region 1 release for North America and plays on standard US and Canadian DVD players and computer drives.
- Are the episodes in their original broadcast order?
- They are grouped by season and generally follow broadcast order, though the later movies are collected separately from the original series.
