JAG returns for another season on DVD. With its share
of military action and courtroom law drama, this was one
of the finest TV series out there during its run. The fifth
season continues the reign of excellence for the series.
Whether you watch for the military atmosphere lacked by
so many shows like this, or for the gripping, realistic
courtroom drama, this is yet another season that doesn't
fail to please. ***
This season is definitely one of the finest for the
series. Star David James Elliott is back in fine form, and
the fifth set of the series has a number of excellent guest
stars, including Montel Williams and Trisha Yearwood. Twenty-five
episodes total are featured in the set, divided amongst
six discs. ***
As with the fourth season, not to mention several other
TV show DVDs they release, Paramount has included a disclaimer
on the back of the package stating that some shows may have
been edited from the original broadcast. I wish they would
have been more specific here, and stated what has been edited.
How hard is it to say what's been changed? ---
Image And Sound:
Earlier Jag season sets were fullscreen. The fifth
season, however, changes all this, and presents the series
in anamorphic widescreen. The picture quality is very good
- some minor grain here and there but nothing substantially
negative. Sound quality is good, and the dialogue is always
clear.
