Yes, that is it exactly. There are 42 discs in the product description. I haven't opened the box yet, I got it just yesterday. By the numbers, they have 5-6 discs in each case. I'm thinking of discarding the cases and instead putting each disc in an empty cake spindle which is what I do with nearly all my DVDs.

I received this as a gift recently. I have a question: was the Simon & Simon crossover episode "Emeralds Are Not a Girl's Best Friend" included on the earlier dvd release? Because I'm not seeing it on this one. The Murder She Wrote crossover episode is on it as a bonus episode.

And was the first run version of Ki'i's Don't Lie with the ending that flowed into the Simon and Simon episode on any of the dvd releases? On this set, only the syndicated version where the plot is wrapped up in a single episode is available.

Not a huge deal, but I would have liked to have seen how the story was supposed to have ended.

Hi Marlboro

I have the earlier DVD version it included the Murder She Wrote episode as a bonus.

It did not include the Simon and Simon crossover episode. My recollection is the end of Ki'i's Don't Lie gave no indication of TM & JHQ appearing on the next S&S.

Shame ........ it would have been a nice bonus.

Hi everyone,

I have the Season 1 DVD set and it gives you both Ki'i's Don't Lie and Emeralds, as well as both parts of Echoes of the Mind.

Not sure if the Complete DVD series has that. I mean, you could glom onto Season 8 for that
