Joss Whedon attempted to follow up his successful series Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the science fiction-themed Firefly. Although the series failed to garner a mass audience, it did have a loyal following. Those fans will be pleased by this box set that contains every episode of the series that aired, as well as three never-before-seen episodes. All 15 episodes are presented in anamorphic widescreen. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Commentaries are available on four of the episodes. Production featurettes, a blooper reel, and a tour of the set with Whedon round out this solid package that should be of interest to genre enthusiasts as well as Whedon's fans.

I really like the series and I would have paid the full price for it. When I looked on the shelf in the store, they were sold out. I checked the in store computer for availability and price. I was so stunned by the listed price that I actually asked a clerk if that posting was correct. After being assured that special price was indeed what they were asking, I ordered mine on line when I got home. When I went to the store to pick it up, the staff was very helpful and very friendly. Just the sort of shopping experience that will guarantee my return business. Thanks Best Buy!
What's great about it: Everything!!! Love the series felt like I was given a gift to be able to get it at the price I paid.
What's not so great: I am not so enthusiastic about the economy packaging for the individual disks, but that is a very minor detail
