COLLECTABLE REUSABLE TIN
The Ray Bradbury Theater
As one of America's most celebrated science fiction authors, Ray Bradbury has been published in nearly every media outlet since the 1930s: radio, magazines, television, films, comic books, and theater. In this exclusive collection of short story adaptations--from space and time travel to murder mysteries--the genius, surreal world of Bradbury comes alive! Sixty-five features with appearances by William Shatner, Drew Barrymore, Jeff Goldblum, Peter O'Toole, Lucy Lawless, Saul Rubinek, Leslie Nielsen, Eugene Levy, and Jayne Eastwood.
The Ray Bradbury Theater in Collectable Tin Reviews:
Classics revisited 
2009-06-07 - The collection as a whole is viable, though, as another reviewer indicated, there are some less-than-stellar episodes. All that said, these are adequate for my purposes (teaching a SciFi class). If you are looking for a "bargain", go with the version without the "collectable tin"(unless you're just into collecting them!): the 5 DVDs already come in a hard-case flip file, smaller than the box, so ultimately the box is unnecessary - especially because THERE IS NO LISTING OF THE EPISODES ANYWHERE ON THIS PRODUCT, other than when you actually view the DVD, of course! THAT was quite disappointing. Thank goodness for another reviewer who had more time on his/her hands than I, or I would have been reduced to viewing all the DVD openers and typing out the entire list!! (Thanks! to that reviewer.) Aside from that, the video quality is adequate for most of the epidoses (considering I have a TV that is old-school). Ultimately, you can't go wrong with this collection - just have to take the good with the not-so-good.
Awesome Bradbury 
2009-05-24 - This collection of Ray Bradbury is a Bradbury fan's delight. The clips are from some of his best stories ever and they are delightful to watch. This is something evry Bradbury fan should own.

2009-05-04 - If you are a big fan of Ray Bradbury don't miss out on this awsome collection. I bought it a while back and I love it. My favorite story in the whole collection is called "The Lonely One." The next would have to be "The Screaming Woman." I love the whole collection all though these are my favorites in the collection. Buy it if you love Ray Bradbury because you will not be disappointed.

Really good, but just a little lackng.
2009-03-27 -
Ray Bradbury Theater is uniquely Bradbury, and that in itself qualifies this series as top rate science fiction. Dark disturbing stories are made emotionally distressing for the viewer through dramatic camera angles, superb lighting, and top quality acting. Bradbury Theater is not Twilight Zone, not Hitchcock, and not Outer Limits, but just as these shows have their unique and characteristic signatures, so does Bradbury Theater. Where Twilight Zone is clever, Hitchcock unexpected and Outer Limits strange, Bradbury is twisted with a hint of the demonic. If you are a Poe fan, you'll just love the queasy disemboweling feeling you get watching these plays, but not late at night, or just before bedtime.
A must have for any DVD collection
2009-03-08 - For this price and content? Absolute must buy!!! If you're a fan of this show, or have fond, if somewhat vague memories of this show, you won't be disappointed. Yes, the quality of sound, etc is all '80's, but that is part of the charm!
