Banacek: The Best Of (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With the entire series on 2 affordable sets, this seems to be a ploy on the manufacturer's part to go el cheapo. There were only 16 episodes plus the pilot in the entire series. Picking 4 of the 17 as a "Best of collection" is dumb. You are better off buying the Season sets, or better still, buying the complete set coming out after this disc does.

Banacek: The Complete Series Box Set (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Those of you looking for a traditional whodunnit may be disappointed in this series. "Banacek" is more like waiting for a magician to explain his trick than finally knowing who committed the crime.
What makes the series amazing is how the writers came up with such elaborate robberies.
As I rewatched the episodes, not only did I appreciate this complexity, but I also started laughing at the hysterical Polish proverbs Banacek quotes and the dry and occasionally double entendre humor that George Peppard delivers perfectly.
When you add the humor and complexity to the great guest stars (Anne Baxter, Linda Evans, Dick Van Patten, et al.), you get a series that's a absolute treat.
