I bought this DVD because I am a huge, life-time comic book fan. I have been reading Birds of Prey comics since they first came out and loved them. Oracle, who used to be Batgirl, I was reading about since the early sixties. Same thing with Black Canary and The Huntress. When I heard about the T.V. show.... I had to watch it!! I loved it!! NO BRAINER!! When the DVD came out...........HAVE TO BUY!!!! Also.....NO BRAINER!!!! This set contains four discs that comprise the entire series. Also included is the complete web series "Gotham Girls" featuring seasons one through three. The episodes of 'Birds of Prey' consist of 13 episodes including the 'Bonus unaired pilot.' The stars of the show are as follows; Helena Kyle/Huntress - Ashley Scott, Barbara Gordon/Oracle - Dina Meyer Dinah Lange/Black Canary - Rachel Skarsten Detective Jesse Reese - Shemar Moore Alfred Pennyworth - Ian Abercrombie Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn - Mia Sara. The only info I can add to this cast is this: Shemar Moore is currently on Criminal Minds and Ashley Scott was on Dark Angel and Jericho. A few or all of the others may have been on something, but I am computer ignorant, so I didn't try to look them up. This information I am disclosing to you is from my memory and having the DVD in hand. I thought this T.V. series was following pretty closely to the comic book series. I liked the fact that "The Batman" and 'The Joker' made very brief appearances in the series. Also intriguing is the fact that the Joker's voice is Mark Hamill (sic) from Star Wars fame, but the person you see in the series is a different actor. Whether you are a comic fan or an action T.V. fan, I highly recommend this D.V.D. I would rate it five stars out of five!!! This is The Old Hippie with my first review out of hopefully many more to come!Read full review
This is the complete BIRDS OF PREY television series. The show only lasted one season. This four disc set has no liner notes or booklet, but includes official versions of BOTH "aired" and "unaired" pilot episodes. (The role of "Dr. Harleen Quinzel" is played by two different actresses.) The music on this DVD set is different from the broadcast television versions of the episodes. (These DVD episodes even feature a completely different series theme song.) In addition to the BoP episodes, the set includes the complete (three season) set of ''Gotham Girls'' flash-comic. These short flash-comic "webisodes" only contain the features themselves. (When the flash-comics were originally available online they included little games to play while the comic was loading and season three featured a voting option to guess the identity of a season villain.)Read full review
I loved the show, I watched the TV show when it was on years ago. I wish they had made more of this show then and I still wish that now. You never know what was going to happen and you are all was on the edge of your seat to see what would happen next. I was so happy to see this had come out in DVD and could not weight to get it, If they had made more of it I would buy it in a heart beat. They need to make more show like this one. I loved it and the only thing that I disliked about it was that there was not more of it. This was a show that was Funny, Sad and made you think because it put you on the edge of your seat to see what would happen next and that could be anything and you find your self wanting to see what would happen to the people in the story because to come to care what would happen to them because you become so involved in the story and wanting it that you want it to turn out OK for them in the story, You forget what may be going on in your life for a short time because to get so involved in it and that can give you some great time out with you may want to get away from for a little while. We all need a break from things going on in our life from time to time and that when it is so great to be able to put a Great DVD in the DVD Player and get away for a little while. This show is a DVD like that and a must have so get it and have a great time.Read full review
It was nice to find a "complete series" package that actually had all of the discs in good condition. I have written reviews about this series in other places. You can find a detailed one at interesting authors dot com slash blog. Having watched this series several times the only reason I can think of that it got cancelled is the fact the network put it up against "The West Wing" at the peak of that show's popularity.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Birds Of Prey was a great series and even though it had high ratings the show was cancelled. The series follows Helena Kyle(the Huntress)who is the the daughter of Batman and Catwomen in her pursuit of justice on the streets of Gotham.After Catwomen is murdered,Barbara Gorden(Batgirl)takes her in. Barbara Gordon (Oracle)was Batgirl until the Joker shot her and paralysed her from the waist down.She guides The Huntress through Gotham from the coolest tech center high above the city. Sadly,only 13 episodes of this series were ever made but what a ride!
