LAS VEGAS SEASON FIVENov 30, 2008 SUPER BUY FOR THOSE WHO LOVE LAS VEGAS. GREAT TO ADD TO THE COLLECTION SINCE THIS, SADLY, IS THE LAST OF ITS KIND.
SEASON 5 of Las Vegas craps outNov 29, 2008 If you are purchasing this DVD for its overall picture and sound quality, then you'll be extremely pleased. However, if you are purchasing this DVD, mainly because you were a huge fan of this TV series, then you will be greatly disappointed. Once Jimmy Caan left this TV series, the show just totally crapped out. The writers must have still been on strike when the scripts were written for Season FIVE. An 8-year kid could have come up with better ideas for the plots of each episode. Tom Selleck was such a great actor in Magnum PI, but he just didn't have the same flare that his predecessor Cann had as the head of the Montecito. It is so very sad to see such a great TV series bite the bitter dust of the Las Vegas desert as hard as this one did. My wife and I still miss this show each and every week. Thank goodness though for the reruns of Las Vegas on the TNT Network. I truly wish that I could give this one higher marks, but I'm just being totally honest with my own personal remarks. Sorry guys!

Fantastic -- except the endingNov 24, 2008 The DVD set is great. The series is great.
I thought that I'd not like Las Vegas as much when James Caan left. I was wrong. Of course, it is different -- but different does not automatically mean bad.
Tom Selleck came in and filled Mr. Caan's absense admirably, while developing his own unique character that I, for one, was just getting to know by the end of the series.
But be warned... the season ends in a cliffhanger, and in their Infinite Wisdom, the Powers That Be have decided that that's it, no more, the end. The series has been cancelled, as far as I know with no plans to even resolve the ending. Just a warning to anyone for who this will cause high blood pressure levels and migrains.
NBC SUCKS!Nov 18, 2008 I have no idea what the hell NBC was thinking! The show was on 5 years and they couldn't even give it a series finale! Hell, they're so un-loyal to the fans that they ended it with a cliffhanger. Sure I Tivo Crusoe on Friday nights but the show doesn't entertain me as much as Las Vegas used to. I actually looked forward to watching tv on Fridays due to this show. The show isn't as good this season, yet it still had a lot of energy and steam left.
I did miss James Caan and he was barely even mentioned after leaving, even by the woman who plays his daughter. That didn't even ruin the series for me though. Vanessa Marcil was always incredibly hot as Sam and I don't even want to ever see her play any other character, I just want to see more of her in the role. Nikki Cox was cute in the other seasons but she got a little too whiny after awhile. Camille Guaty was a good replacement for her this season. She was super cute and after awhile it just felt like she was always on the show. I also think that Tom Selleck was a great replacement for James Caan and it's shame that the show was canceled during his first season. So it doesn't make sense that they canceled the show, it still had a lot of life in it. Plus I'm pissed that they ended it without us knowing if Danny's g/f lost the baby or not, what a dumb time to cancel it!

Rip OffNov 10, 2008 Once again the loyal fans of a television series get ripped off! How can you leave a series ending like that with no conclusion??? Just bad business by NBC period.
