This is not the "entire" series but well worth viewing because apparently that's all we get! And at approximately 14 hours running time there is quite a lot on these four disks. I look at this as a "best of" and thoroughly enjoyed every minute! Family values and some high quality writing (by John Masius the co-creator of Touched By an Angel who also exec produced St. Elsewhere)gives us some great television!

I noticed the listing says this is 1 hour long. Whoa. It's 4 discs full. This production is poignant, sweet, deep & beautifully crafted. I watched the entire series when it was aired on TV. I feel like this collection really captured the feeling & intensity of the series, & am so grateful this collection was compiled. Absolutely fantastic show.

Series two-hour finale; Syd prepares to embark on a new life with Owen until a hostage situation at the ER threatens her marital bliss.This show won my heart the first time I ever saw it and I was a dedicated fan until it ended in 2002. I, like any other fan of the show, was sad to see it go but nothing lasts forever. I recommend buying this DVD. It has 12 of the better episodes of this series. Hopefully someday in the future, someone will put together the entire series on DVD.P.S. If you want to watch all the old episodes of Providence, watch Lifetime. It aires at 1:00pm and 8:00pm."
The Providence Collection~Somewhat Disappointing

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The episodes included in this set are good ones, but I would prefer a whole season. The most disappointing aspect of the set is that the original theme song isn't used as the intro to each episode! I felt cheated as the theme was such an integral part of the series."
Providence Rules!

"I just wanted to say that I love Providence. It was my favorite show. This DVD was great, but it was only a Best OF. I wish they release every season. This DVD was great, but it would be even better if they would release all of the seasons."
