The “Nero Wolfe” TV series (2001-2002) is brilliant – casting, colors, sound and scripts. Producers Michael Jaffe, Timothy Hutton, and Howard Braunstein did a superb job bringing Rex Stout’s stories to the screen. Maury Chaykin, as Nero Wolfe, and Timothy Hutton, as Archie Goodwin, along with an excellent supporting cast – Colin Fox, Bill Smitrovich, Conrad Dunn, Kari Matchett, Saul Rubinek, R.D. Reid, Fulvio Cesere, Trent McMullen, and Francie Swift to name a few – do an exceptional job portraying Stout’s cherished characters.

The “Nero Wolfe” DVDs have some extras (though fans of the series would be happier with more). Included with the set are: “The Golden Spiders,” the 2000 TV movie which led to the series, “The Making of Nero Wolfe,” a short documentary which offers interviews with Timothy Hutton, Maury Chaykin, and others involved in the production of this marvelous series, and a “bonus” widescreen version of “The Silent Speaker.” To include the widescreen “bonus” of “The Silent Speaker” as an extra is ironic since all of the the episodes were shot in widescreen and should have been reproduced as such on the DVDs. And to make the set truly “mega” it would have been most gratifying if the European versions of the episodes were included in the set.

The producers choose some of Rex Stout’s favorite Nero Wolfe stories for adaptation to the screen. “The Doorbell Rang,” directed by Timothy Hutton, is the premier episode of the series. Nero Wolfe takes on “the big fish” J. Edgar Hoover to earn the biggest fee of his career. With the able assistance of Archie Goodwin, his intrepid legman, Wolfe triumphs over the F.B.I., earns his client’s admiration (Mrs. Bruner, played by Debra Monk: “Is there anything you can’t do?”), and solves a murder for the cops along the way. “Death of a Doxy,” “Champagne for One,” and “The Mother Hunt” are a few more of the well know Nero Wolfe stories included in the series. It’s a great sorrow to fans of both this magnificent series and Rex Stout’s wonderful books that the show was abruptly canceled before some of the other favorites, such as “In The Best Families” could be adapted for television audiences.

Five Stars plus Five Stars to Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Hutton for giving Nero Wolfe fans a series worthy of Stout’s tales.

This series is just a joy from beginning to end. The cast work together well (especially Hutton and Chaykin), the scripts are witty and engage your brain, the sets and locations are impeccably filmed and the DVD transfer is decent. I am normally very much a “watch once” person, but I found myself watching the same episodes over again just to enjoy the “eye-candy” and the subtle nuances of the interactions between the characters.

In case you don’t know, an unusual feature of this series is that the same core actors appear in all the episodes, but some are playing different roles each episode. We found that just added to the fun, but some folks might find it irritating, so be aware. Also look out for the use of colour – the series uses specific shades of green, red, and yellow all the way through.

I don’t understand why this complete edition is cheaper than either of the two separate series. Sure, the DVDs are in slim-line cases, but I actually prefer those. The video quality is identical to the more expensive versions (I already had series 1 so I compared the two). Given the many hours of pleasure you will get from it, this complete edition is a fabulous bargain.

If A&E ever release these as widescreen HD DVDs I will likely buy them over again.

The tragedy is that A&E canned the show after the second season, so there will be no more Nero Wolfe.
