Great series - delighted to find it plays in the UK!
Like others, I bought this with some trepidation as to whether it would work in the UK but I am pleased to confirm there are no problems. In fact I ripped it straight to my network storage unit from my PC and it is perfect. I bought the original rip-off Britain version with only 8 titles 10 years ago and paid more than I have paid for this, though this came all the way from the US! Now I have all 30 episodes and am very happy! The humour is quick and subtle and the episodes bear replaying as there are things you miss the first time round. Good entertainment to dip into, though I find it hard to get to the end of an episode and resist watching just one more.....! The order of episodes on the discs are weird (as they are on the UK version). If you compare the broadcast dates from TV.com there are a lot our of order and this does matter as although each are quite self-contained, there is an underlying direction to the overall story. I decided to sort them for playback based on their original to-air dates (assuming TV.com is right) and they seem to fit well played in this mode.

Great buy
Dilbert is amazing. This is a scientific fact. This box set contains both series (which was a pleasant surprise for me) and is well worth the money as I have got much joy from this. If you haven't seen dilbert on TV before and want to watch it you can find full episodes online. Though if you enjoy the depth of character and odd situations found in shows like "Family guy" or "American dad" and the and the real life back drop found in shows like "The IT crowd". Then you will probably enjoy this show. I feel it has a brilliant and uniquely refined and subtle humour to it that really isn't found in other shows. Younger viewers may not find it as gripping, while its not unsuitable for children, adults will appreciate it much more. Though I suppose this is clear if you first heard of dilbert as the newspaper cartoon.

Plays on Region 2 player.
Top purchase. Quickly received (7 days) from U.S.A. Larry Charles & Scott Adams bring the latter's creation to the small screen. This 4 disc boxset is the one to buy as it is the complete season 1 and 2 (30 episodes) along with bonus features on Disc 1. And although it's sold as Region 1, I can confirm this plays on my Region 2 player with no problem; just make sure your TV can handle NTSC colour system.

90'S hit re-released
the tv series of the hit comic strip and I think it doesn't disappoint also listen out for the voice talent of Tom Kenny... I will clear something's up - 1) the set contains both (2) series made on 4 discs (dvd) and 2) yes the dvds are region free (even though it says region 1 on box) as i am currently playing them on my PAL PS4.

Impressive cartoon version of the comic strip
I was surprised how well the short comic strip was converted to a long cartoon format. I'd probably have given it 5 stars if I'd only seen half of the episodes, but I didn't enjoy the later ones so much, but I can't quite put my finger on why. Perhaps they just didn't seem as fresh as the earlier ones had.

Excellent DVD set for a fantastic series
Dilbert is a fantastic series, well written and presented. Highly recommended, especially for anyone in a professional office job!The set itself is presented in a single DVD case with each disc stacked together which means you have to take all the discs out to pick one out but that is a small price to pay.Excellent set, highly recommended.

Buy this dvd
I was very foolish i purchased the english dilbert dvd boxset, which has only 8 episodes and no special features. But this one has every episode ever, and alot of special features + an interview with scott adams (the creator). Also it must be noted this plays on all region 2 consoles even a ps2. so if you love the episodes that are never on tv go and purchase this dvd boxset

The entire Dilbert series on DVD can be bought here
Dilbert is a comic about every day life in the office. In the cartoon it shows (no pun intended) beyond the office.

Am Besten wären -5 Sterne !!
NTSC und englisch hätte mir nichts ausgemacht, aber >>Region 1<< ist auf deutschen DVD-Playern leider NICHT abspielbar.Man kann wohl an (manchen) DVD Playern 0-5x den Regionalcode umstellen, danach muss man sich einen neuen DVD-Player kaufen (weil sich der DVD Player wohl HARDWARE-mäßig !!!! OMG !!! den Regionalcode merkt).Prima. Das wäre doch eigentlich einmal eine !!!! WARNUNG REGIONAL CODE 1 !!!! wert.Bei mir war der Regionalcode am DVD Player leider NICHT (0x) umstellbar, so dass ich die DVD gleich in den Mülleimer reinwerfen konnte. Alternativ kann ich mir (nur für diese DVD) einen eigenen DVD Player kaufen, der dann auf Regionalcode 1 läuft, oder etwas illegales tun. PRIMA Erfindung solche Regionalcodes, da werden wenigstens all die Vollidioten bestraft, die sich DVDs KAUFEN, statt sie zu rippen oder zu streamen ....Wenigstens hatte ich so mein eigenes Dilbert Erlebnis Live und in Farbe und werde in Zukunft auf Regionalcodes besser achten.

One of the great underrated sitcoms
Dilbert never got a fair chance on TV, being cancelled on a third rate network whose idea of great comedy usually involves bodily functions or broad you-go-girl bland tripe. For my part, I thought that this show happened to be one of the funniest sitcoms ever, and it stands along with the Simpsons as being one of the wryest and most perceptive satirical works on American Television.The voice acting is excellent. The characters all sound just as they would be expected to when reading the comic strip. Daniel Stern as Dilbert, Larry Miller as the clueless boss (who had to have been based off of one of Scott Adams' bosses), Larry Charles as slacker engineer Wally, Kathy Griffin as Alice, the triangular-haired female engineer, and Chris Elliot as Dilbert's sidekick Dogbert, not to mention a parade of guest stars, including Tom Green, Andy Dick, Jerry Seinfeld, and Jason Alexander. Put simply, this show had talent to burn.After occasional reruns on Comedy Central, I am jubliant to see this comedy jewel now available on DVD. The quirkiness and humor of the comic strip is definitely present here, as well as the savage skewering of workplace politics and procedures. The show's highlights include the first episode, the anthrax cough drops bit was inspired, a Y2K-themed episode (remember all that fuss about the end of the world?), frequent visits from evil Mr. Catbert (voiced by Jason Alexander), as well as a guest appearance by Jerry Seinfeld as an insane computer in charge of a computer-by-mail company, a la Dell. My favorite episode has got to be the merger episode, which has Dilbert's company merging with aliens from outer space (the funniest bit had to do with a mexican restaurant/corporate pickup bar).I think very highly of this show and think that you should give it a shot. You owe it to yourself.
