The FBI Files - First Season - As Seen on Discovery Channel

Hard evidence. Hard Science. Real Justice. Whether it handles bullets or bombs, fingerprints or fibers, the FBI's crime lab - the largest facility in the world - takes on tough cases, grappling with fraud, drug trafficking, kidnapping and murder, extortion and terrorism. The FBI Files is a show describing actual FBI cases, with dramatic reenactments and interviews with agents and forensic scientists who worked in the investigations. If you enjoy watching shows like Forensic Files, Dateline NBC, 48 Hours Mysteries or Unsolved Mysteries then you'll enjoy watching this show.Season 1 is, in my opinion, the most interesting Season. On this DVD you'll find 13 episodes, each episode is 45 minutes long. Here are the cases you'll find on this DVD:DISC 1- Polly Klaas Kidnapped: When Polly Klaas is kidnapped from her home and murdered, the FBI mobilizes 200 agents to recover her and apprehend her abductor.- Above the Law: The body of 23 year-old Robin Bishop is discovered near her car on a remote highway. Despite efforts by local authorities, her killer remains loose until the FBI turns to forensic science to bring him to justice.- Human Prey: When five outdoors men are killed over a period of three years in rural Ohio, the FBI relentlessly pursue leads and eventually prompt the killer to reveal himself.- Death in Alaska: FBI forensic experts trace DNA to apprehend the killer who sexually abused and murdered a young mother and her two daughters in Alaska.DISC 2- Deadly Paradise: After a trip to Palmyra Atoll, Mac and Muff Graham vanish and another couple returns to Hawaii on the missing couple's yacht. FBI agents and scientists struggle to uncover the truth behind a murder in paradise.- Mississippi Burning: When Ku Klux Klan members murder three civil rights workers in Mississippi, the FBI turns to a local informant who helps them secure justice for the victims.- The Crazy Don: Profile of The reputed boss of the Genovese crime family, Vince Gigante.- Killing Spree: The lone survivor of a killing spree helps the FBI identify the killer who raped and murdered 10 women in the Tampa area.DISC 3- The Murdering Cowboy: The FBI is called into the case when self-described cowboy Claude Dallas kills two game wardens, setting off a massive manhunt.- The Unabomber: Ted Kaczynski terrorizes the nation for 18 years as the Unabomber, baffling local and federal authorities.- Melissa Brannen: When 5 year-old Melissa Brannen, vanishes from a Christmas party in December 1984, the FBI is called in to look for the missing girl.- World Trade Center Bombing: On February 26, 1993, an explosion rocks the garage under the World Trade Center. The FBI works to identify and convict the terrorists behind the bombing.- John Gotti: Gotti lost his luster as the head of the Gambino crime family in New York when the FBI turned to an informer to convict Gotti of the murder of Paul Castellano.

We happen to like these types of shows so this was a great purchase for us, seeing how the FBI figures out crime is always interesting.

I do not have cable television any more however when I did in the past this was the one series I found myself watching. The way it setts out telling about the case and the process the police and F.B.I. take to solve is great.

I liked to watch all the time I had the chance the different programs about FBI files, because is describing us how the fbi bureau agents worked to find out the clues and complete the puzzle to catch the killer(s). I recommend buy this product.

I have always loved these shows, and was not disappointed by this purchase.

Super series!!!!!!!!

good show

Returned seasons 1-4 was unable to view any of them, so zi don't have a comment on any of the FBI seasons, waiting on UPS to pickup all 4 seasons

very compelling stories from the original series. a good mix of bad guys with twists and turns in the investigations. would recommend for crime TV junkies.

this documentary type series features 52 minute episodes of crimescommitted in the past(usually one crime per episode)in which the F.B.I.and local law enforcement cooperate to solve crimes.parts of the crimesare reenacted with actors.throughout the episode a narrator describesthe events.real people who were involved in the original investigationare also interviewed in present day and recount their experience withthe particular incident.the series is gripping and fast paced,but canbe very morbid,as sometimes the particulars of the crimes are fairlywell detailed.there isn't always a happy ending,either.if you're a truecrime buff and you haven't seen this show i encourage you to check itout.in North America,The 1st season is out on DVD,and the 2nd and 3rdhave been announced for release.my vote for The F.B.I. Files is astrong 4/5

I bought this last Thursday (March 19th) and was pleasantly surprised of receiving it the following day on (March 20th) Shipping was extremely fast and prompt ! Props to Amazon for a job well done ! : )As for the DVD set itself, I've always enjoyed the FBI Files. I used to watch it back in late 2003, through 2004 and late 2005 while it was still airing on TV. A few months ago, I learned that they released the first season on DVD so I knew that I had to get it. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys behind the scenes crime scene investigations. The crimes shown in this season are past crimes that had high importance for the FBI. A lot of these crimes are well known. All in all this was an amazing buy and I can't wait for the second season.I give this a whopping 5 stars and am extremelly pleased
