The Adventures of Swiss Family Robinson - The Complete Series

We did not like this show. The product was new, so no complaints on that end

As a series for television, not a bad take on the Swiss Family Robinson story. Still a great escape for half an hour - each episode - and the scenery is stunning and makes you want to become lost... if only being stranded on a paradise could be as easy as that!This is classic family entertainment and if you like all things Swiss Family Robinson, then it is a must have to add to your collection.

Good serialized storyline. Excellent footage combining studio and locations. Good cast.The only thing they could have improved was condensing the packaging. Six large DVD cases takes up too much shelf space for bulk collectors like myself. Other serieses have been released single cases with folding DVD holders a fraction of the size.But buy it anyway. The later episodes will keep you glued to the TV, and the earlier ones will set the mood for that.Peter

Thanks. I like these TV shows :)

I guess this was the original story in the English style in small parts, not quite as entertaining as the Disney move, but it was more life like, it faced reality better.

I enjoyed this series. Do not remember when it was on tv but thought it was worth watching because of some of the actors. It was worth the price.

I liked the story and it is a good retelling of the original. My daughter has now decided that she wants to go to Fiji where it was fillmed. We also liked the making of the movie. I would say it was worth the price for good family entertainment.

It tells the story of the robinson family stranded on a beautiful island, defending themselves in every episode against pirates and the forces of nature. It keeps you on the edge of your seat in every episode and you can't wait to see the next one. The setting is gorgeous on Fidji and in New Zealand.

i did not expect such a moving story in a double feature I had never heard of! Wow. Wow. Wow. The Rivers Run has everything in it, set in the turn of the 20th Century Australia. Not only are the costumes/sets done professionally (you FEEL as if you are there with them as it happens), the story weaves every sort of evil conspiracy:- Unions striking & attacking wool shippers- Evil businessmen never satisfied, only getting greedier & more evil & conniving- Collusion/conspiracy with powerful Crown/police figures- Perjury to frame- Payoffs for false testimony- Lust/adultery- Stealing of children using the law to do so- Parental Alienation Syndrome- Prison on false charges- Evil guards in prison- Reunion- Redemption- Truth- JUDGMENTand more.Even if you don't enjoy the Swiss Family Robinson series (not that well done, but worth a watch), you will thank yourself for getting The Rivers Run. POWERFUL.

Not as good as the disney Swiss Family Robinson, but it is very watchable, and if you like the main cast, you will enjoy it. Kids will love this one for sure.

Came early, works great!

We couldn't even bear to watch much past the 2nd disc, and were proud of ourselves for getting that far.
