The Pretender - Season 4

I give the series 5 stars but the DVD production only 2 stars. These DVD's are very annoying.1. There is no Play ALL selection2. Not only do you have to select each episode from the main menu, but after you do ANOTHER menu appears and you have to select Play Episode. I wouldn't have selected the episode from the main menu if I didn't want to play it. I see why they have done this. Instead of letting you select Language from the main menu and then have it apply to all selections, they have the Language selection on each episode's submenu. Like I'm going to watch episode #1 in English and #2 in German????3. These are two-sided DVD's but there isn't any writing around the center hole on the flip side to alert you to this fact. The printing on the A side has tiny type (maybe size 2 font) saying "Episodes 1-4 on side A, Episodes 5-7 on B" but trust me, you really have to look for it with a magnifying glass. I didn't realize this and missed half the episodes the first time I played them!I would have preferred to pay a couple dollars more and have decent DVD's rather than these crappy things. They are so annoying that I am considering purchasing DVD editing software, ripping these to my hard drive, add the missing/malplaced selections and burning my own. I usually like to watch my DVD's multiple times but I am having a hard time making it through this series. The sound and picture quality is excellent and I LOVE the show, but the DVD controls are just stupid! They should fix these, or better yet, make them available for purchase on Amazon Instant Video! Guess what? Season 3 DVD's are the same way!! Arghh!

Great!

I really enjoyed all four seasons of the Pretender. I fell it is a shame that in the last show we see a set up for season five, and then they didn't get a renewal for season five. Where is the integrity of the network? If you are going to cut funding to a program that has had a four season run, don't you think it would be nice to have a special to close all the loops? I think there should be a 2 hours special to close out the series, before all the actors are any older. I think this should be a requirement for all TV series programs.

Most of these episodes play on these discs right out of box unlike previous seasons which had obvious defects to quality control thus poor showing in sales (seasons 1-3).. gave it 4 stars

I always liked the series because it did a wonderful job of portraying a charecter who overcame injustice to become champion for justice. The charecters are well cast and very well played, the scripts engaging, and always there is the element of delight in simple pleasures and the joy of discovery. I was very sorry to see the series end prematurely. I was pleased to be able to watch it again at my own convenient times and without interuption. The only issue I have is that not all the episodes would play and I don't yet know how to have Amazon replace the defective discs.

I wanted to watch and catch-up on the series.I did not realize, too, that there were 2, 2 hour Pretender movies that had been made.I thought/assumed these were 2 hour finale episodes. I especially was/am interested in "The Haunted Island" movie of The Pretender.

Love this series. Innovative, interesting and well produced. Cheering for Jared to be victorious in finding family and answers. Over the previous seasons Jared has grown in experience without losing the wonder of life. Something that I find encouraging for my life. Although this story is fiction it gives a positive message that no matter how hard you have it, you can rise above your circumstances and change the world, even if it is the world of just one other person.

I bought the entire series and the two movies and have loved every one of them. The Pretender was always one of my favorite shows and it made me sick when they cancelled it with out ending the storyline. This is a four disc set, front and back of disc that I had no problem with. Everyone who loved The Pretender should have this entire set. I would suggest this to anyone.

A great series, a must for the fan

J'ai acheté ce DVD surtout pour le commentaire audio et c'est parfait.Pour les personnes Européens, Attention DVD en Zone 1, donc pas lisible sur les lecteurs DVD classique.Mais je recommande ce produit si vous avez un lecteur de DVD pour les Zones 1

Ich mag diese Sendung einfach, die lief damals in meiner Jugend. Sehe sie immer noch gerne. Mehr gibts dazu nicht zu sagen

シーズン４の最終話は次のシーズンへの期待を持たせる終わり方になっていますが結局シーズン５は製作されなかったので消化不良な終焉でした。（後年製作された”pretender2001”である程度納得の行く終わり方はあるようですが。）なかなか見応えのあった作品ですので、このような終わり方は大変残念です。そのうち、"pretender2001"も見てから、またコメントしたいと思います。

Good
