Mannix the Complete series
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I’ve been a Mannix fan since 1970, and I was sorry to hear of Mike Connors’ death recently. Mike Connors was a classy guy who played a classy PI. (I like the fact that he was married to the same woman since 1949. Wow! That says a lot!) I’ve seen all but the last season on DVD, and they’ve all been good quality, good sound and good color, and–it goes without saying–good entertainment. I could do without so much violence, but that’s how TV was in the 70s.-A. Haines
Mannix is a great action detective series! It was the template for many other shows to come, but the original still puts them to shame. I was surprised a how many stories predated similar 70’s detective films. Mannix delivering a bag of ransom money for a female hostage, while being watched thru the scope of a sniper rifle, reminded me of Dirty Harry; which came out 4 or 5 years later. I know that all of these detective shows have much earlier film noir inspirations, it’s just surprising to see how well the stories, action & acting hold up in the new millennium.- Bill A.
I love Mannix! Bought the complete set recently after watching a few episodes on late night commercial TV (I hate commercials). What a treat to watch all the episodes without interruption. He’s tall, dark handsome, smart, athletic, sexy, fearless, romantic, heroic — yet all too human. I loved his wardrobe, too — those yummy sport jackets with the colorful linings as well as the women’s fashions. Now, of course, Mannix is a period piece and very true to its time. Luxuriate in the late sixties and early seventies. No vulgar language, no sex, but lots of action and romance, too, (in its place). Joe M loved beautiful women — twice as much if they were in distress. The writing remained consistently good throughout the series — interesting plots, wonderful California landscapes. Endless twisting highways — which seemed to be always without traffic when Joe was on the road. Around Season 6, I begin to worry about Joe’s continuous bumps on the head from which he always miraculously recovered. Great genes apparently, since Mike Connors lived to be 92 and married to only ONE woman. I was never bored with Mannix.
