River Monsters

Evidently many folks like the series. Problem is trying to obtain the other years in the series. All the additional years are either not Region 1 or cost literally a three digit number or you have to stream it. Cheapest streaming source is Vudu.Each episode is both entertaining and educational. The two down sides are that sometimes it is obvious that they don't have enough material to fill the 42 minute episodes and he almost always catches the big one at the very end! I also find it hard to believe, since I have owned several fishing boats, that he thinks nothing of going hundreds of miles up and down rivers. That takes "dedicated fishing" to a whole new level"...and with a lot of time on your hands!

I love this show!Jeremy Wade - zoologist, biologist, and extreme angler travels the globe in search of freshwater river monsters. I'm amazed by some of the fish Jeremy catches and I especially like the way Jeremy validates or debunks local myths about the various freshwater fish.This is a nice 2 dvd set which includes all seven 40 minute episodes of River Monsters' first season. Amazon's aspect ratio of 2:35 is incorrect. The episodes are presented in a nice solid 1:85 anamorphic widescreen transfer. The audio is English only and the set has English subtitles.Episodes are as follows....dvd one: 1-Piranha 2-Alligator Gar 3-European Maneater (wels catfish) 4-Amazon Assassins (arapaima)dvd two: 1-Amazon Flesh Eaters 2-Freshwater (Bull) Shark 3-Killer Catfish (giant goonch)

Jeremy has a lot of great adventures, catching amazing creatures, talking to fascinating people all over the world. It strengthens my belief in Godly design to see the intricacies in how everything works together, reproduces after their own kind, how when men tamper with the balance, things go wrong not right, and how mutated species are Inferior and die out instead of thrive. An exciting series that displays God's craftsmanship in every creature, down to the nth detail of providing holes in the top of a fish's mouth for its fangs so it can close it's mouth. I applaud God.

I don't fish and I don't watch fishing shows-never understood spending all that money on gear just to annoy fish you aren't going to eat-but I enjoy seeing the places he goes. He treats the local people with respect, which some of the shows like this don't. The fish he catches are pretty amazing, and he does catch things, another difference from most of the "monster" hunting shows. I have another set on order and hope it's as interresting.

I originally hesitated to buy this DVD as I needed a last minute Christmas gift. In the end, I placed an order 5 days before Christmas. I was so impressed that I received it in time for Christmas. Not only did a get the last minute Christmas gift I also bought a set for my own movie collection. I would recommend the entire series if you are considering even 1 of the DVD's. This is a great family show for all ages or for the fisherman that dreams big, everyone can enjoy this documentary filled with action and adventure.

We bought this for my son's 10th birthday. He received this and an iPod. He has taken this video with him everywhere he has gone, but has forgotten his iPod at home a few times. I love how informative the video is and the host makes learning about these cool creatures happen without kids (or adults) ever realize they are learning. Instead they feel like they are just watching an adventure show....which it really is! We are going to have to get the next season soon!

Anyone who is into fishing will find Jeremy Wade to be a champion of the sport. The show does a great job of informing you of the background and science regarding fish that have in some way harmed an animal or human. Jeremy makes the show very dramatic and a lot of fun.Enjoy

River monsters episodes are always good and this dvd doesn't disappoint you. I highly recommend this dvd and would like to get move river monsters dvds. Seller was great.

This DVD collection is awesome! I loved it and although at times you felt he may never catch the big deadly fish, most of the time he did! I loved the host of the show he was very well spoken and keeps your attention. I would highly reccomend this DVD!

地球上の殺人巨大淡水魚を生物学者で釣りキチのジェレミー・ウェイドが世界中を回って記録していく番組です。科学的でただの巨大魚釣り番組ではありません。 リージョンフリーのDVDプレーヤーが必要。

Hours of endless entertainment. If you like fishing this is a good season to watch.The show is informative and his excitement for catching the next big one makes you want to get out and fish for these monsters yourself.

While this documentary has some very interesting footage of infrequently seen freshwater fishes, it also has a lot of staged repeats, is very egocentric, with a fair amounht of BS statements. It would have been much better if it were reduced from six 40 minute episodes to two 30-40 minute pieces. It is intertaining and I may watch sequels if it comes down in price.

On the region 2 release there's one less episode? What's that about? I've brought region 1 and will watch it on my computer instead
