Not the Very Best, but it's still Good.
If the A&E series with Timothy Hutton and Maury Chaykin is the very best then this series is pretty darn good. This set includes a 2hr movie with Thayer David and Tom Mason which is very, very good and might have been the actually series if Thayer David had not passed away right after the pilot. Most of this set is with William Conrad of "Cannon" fame and Lee Horsley of "Matt Houston" fame. These are very good for Nero Wolfe fans. Some of the episodes are based on actual Rex Stout, but great liberties are taken to fit them into a more modern age and an hour time slot. The characters are likable and the episodes move along at a quick pace. Overall it was worth the purchase and I found it enjoyable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not Very Good.
As an avid reader of the Nero Wolfe detective stories, I was greatly disappointed in the TV version. Too much had to be omitted to make any sense out of the story. Also it was poorly cast. The Italian TV version is much better. Unfortunately, I don't speak Italian.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good, but not the best, rendition of the Stout stories.
All good except one of the episodes was not copied to DVD format properly. About 10 minutes of that show was repeated, leaving out the final 10 minutes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Entertaining Thinking Detective Story
I'm a big Nero Wolfe fan and have the T Hutton & Maury Chaykin version of Rex Stout's superb detective series. Many of these episodes are word for word in some segments identical. More so to be true to Rex Stout's writings more than a copy of each other. Comparing the 2 series, Cannon has a Nero Wolfe style that emphasizes the detective's disdain for anything less than perfection. In food, in orchids, in clothing and in solving the subject of his investigation (Archie Goodwin's really). Wolfe does not suffer idiots well. Cannon takes this to the point of almost being heartless whereas Maury Chaykin has more heart for the character with soft spots for dogs, children, and the occasional woman. So, both series are watchable and entertaining. The writing is to the point and appropriate for the time set for the productions. Hutton's series uses a repertory means for casting a certain amount of actors each week in different roles. I love that. Hutton's time frame is late war early 50's whereas Cannon's series is set in a contemporary time frame (1980's). I prefer the 40-50's. Bottom line is that Huttons got 5 stars from me and this version rates a 4 star. That said, both are watchable and have enough quirkiness and intelligent scripts to set them apart from run of the mill detective stories. Archie Goodwin, the character that does most of the detecting, is not Sherlock Holmes but his not all action like all the running and head banging of Rockford or Kojak. Seller communicated well, packed the product so it arrived in pristine condition, and it shipped via postal rates and arrived as predicted. Seller's performance was stellar and the product is entertaining at a reasonable price. I can't ask for more..wait, maybe if both of the series lasted more than 15 episodes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It's Okay . . . but not that great for the price . . .
Series is a throwback to the '80's. Stock characters and stock story lines. It's a joy to hear the ring tone and see pay phones from that era. Plots are predictable but still enjoyable. It's pricey for such mediocre plots and acting.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Love the Rex Stout Stories, Love Nero and Archie
These are, of course, old T.V. shows but they are still fun to watch, especially if you loved the books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Bright, clear transfer
This is a bright, clear transfer of the Nero Wolfe TV show and the pilot movie, which is why I bought it to replace the faded colors of the DVRs I previously purchased. William Conrad does not "get" Nero Wolfe, but the show is a competent and entertaining mystery show, nonetheless. The best part is the inclusion of the pilot movie which is probably as close to a true Nero Wolfe mystery that you will find on this DVD. I prefer the books (love them, actually) but this is good TV.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
