 NFL History LessonMar 18, 2007
By B. Willis
This is pure heaven for any true NFL fan. Highlights of every Superbowl since 1967 are presented here in one glorious package. Each Superbowl has a 25-30 min ducumentary about the game itself and is preceeded by a 20 min review of the season that led up to it. Not only this but each game also has a couple of extra documentaries about the key players/events. The photography is fantastic, the music is adrenaline-pounding and the packaging/booklets include full player listings, score breakdowns, programme covers and reproduction tickets.
This box set will only disappoint those who were expecting the full game broadcast for every Superbowl but then does anyone truly think that's feasible at over 3 1/2 hours per game! Go on, treat yourself and work through them 1 to 40 to get a fascinating insight into the development of the game and first sight of every classic play.

Perfect pick-me-up for the off-season blahsFeb 07, 2009
By Richard C. Donovan
"Rick"
I practically stole this from Amazon. They ran a one-day sale on the day of Super Bowl XLIII and I got this 20 disc collection for $55.00!
It comes in four attractive cases, and each case has a replica Super Bowl ticket along with an informative booklet that contains each Super Bowl's roster, game program cover, even the winning team's ring choice. Very cool.
One negative was that some of the disc holders had come unglued from the cases, but my wife's glue gun fixed that problem.
On the videos themselves: While I have only watched two discs so far, and while yes, the 48 hours of content are season summaries ending with a Super Bowl summary, and not the entire Super Bowl, play by play, I think the collection is perfect. As I Giants fan, I already own discs devoted to their three championships, so a 15 minute summation of any other team's Super Bowl win is enough for me. And anyway, I like the longer season summaries better. It's a great nostalgia trip.
Some have complained that these videos are already shown on the NFL network. Well as a cablevision subscriber, I don't get the NFL network, alas. Still, you get to OWN the videos, and watch them whenever, in any order you like.
Forty years of NFL history sit on my DVD shelf, and are a perfect cure for the sports death month that is February. I hate college basketball, so my sports void is filled until the Giants start camp in five months.

Overall Good buyOct 23, 2007
By Ashley N. Christensen
I recently bought this product for my boyfriend for his birthday. He is a football fanatic, and was absolutely blown away after opening this. Gratned, IT DOES NOT CONTAIN FULL LENGTH SUPER BOWLS. It is still one hell of a way to make a loved one in your life happy.

INCREDIBLE STUFFJan 21, 2008
By Alan B. Fecteau
"65 TOSS-POWER-TRAP !!"
NFL Films is amazing. Their stuff gets better every year.
This 20-disc series, covering the first 40 Super Bowls, is quite possibly the best multi-disc set produced by the raving geniuses at NFL Films.
Two Super Bowl contests are featured on each DVD. A sweet bonus item, which has been included with each Super Bowl highlight film, is a 45-minute regular season highlight film, which includes selected highlights of all the NFL teams -- not just the two clubs that eventually ended up in the big game.
Just be careful not to confuse this series with the so-called "America's Game" series, involving the first 40 years of the Super Bowl era. That other 40-disc series focuses separately on the teams that would become the Super Bowl champions, examining their full season leading up to the big game, as well the Super Bowl, of course.
But either way, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic summary and commentary for I - XLDec 29, 2009
By Anne B.
"Effervescent"
This is something really wonderful to have. No, it doesn't contain the whole game, it's more along the lines of what you get when you watch the NFL Channel's replays on Monday/Tuesday. However, it's got great commentary and other features for each Superbowl as well as nice histories of what went on that season pre-superbowl.
For any football fan, it's something to have. Beyond that, for any 'not really diehard fan' it's something that doesn't bore or get too 'technical' - so just about any interest level can have fun with it.
Fantastic buy.
