Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great gift!
My other half is and devoted Bears fan. This was the perfect Christmas gift for him.
It came from the seller on time and exactly as discribed.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Very pleased
I bought this DVD for my husband and he can't stop watching it - I love it too. We really like how some of the more well-known members of the team (Payton, Hampton, Singletary, Dent, etc.) have their own chapters on the video. It really gives some nice tributes and amazing footage of their careers. We also really like the unseen footage of the athletes off the field in their private lives. It's so neat to see - makes us miss this era so much! This is an awesome DVD and we're very pleased with it.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great, but never had a chance on being "enough"...
Oh, brother! Where to begin? If you love the Bears, you will love this DVD - period. It has many really fine elements to it none of which I will include here so as not to ruin the surprise.

The footage of various players and teams is pure joy to those of us who have loved the Bears for awhile and who respect the franchise for where it came from and what it's become.

Nothing's perfect in this life but if you are a Bear fan or you know of one, this could be the perfect gift.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Good stuff for Bears' fans
This 2 DVD set is a lot of fun for Bears' fans--whether young or old.

Maybe best of all is the "History" segment. This is "hog heaven" for Bears' fans. It begins at the start, with George Halas and a handful of stalwarts creating the National Football League (in a Hupmobile dealership). This tells the story of the Bears from that very first year (as the Decatur Staleys) through the early 2000s (ending before their NFC championship in 2006).

Here's the story--Halas as coach through Abe Gibron to Lovie Smith. Midle linebackers from Bill George to Dick Butkus (one forgets how awesome he was until seeing replays as on this CD) to Mike Singletary to Brian Urlacher. Running backs from "Red" Grange to Bronko Nagurski to Gale Sayers to Walter Payton to Neal Anderson. Quarterbacks from. . . . Hmmm. Maybe Sid Luckman as a great, with Billy Wade and Jim McMahon as good QBs. Defensive linemen. Nice to see shots of "The Tree," Doug Atkins and others. And the championship games. That 73-0 licking of the Washington team in 1940. The 1963 game. And so on. Not a bad history at all. Maybe the most satisfying part of this set.

One missing element from the history: A good rendition of "Bear Down, Chicago Bears," the team's song. It's a rousing anthem and showed up only most fleetingly.

Other special features: a segment focusing on the 1985 Super Bowl champs; special features on a variety of people, from Willie Gallimore to Doug Atkins to Rick Casares to Mike Ditka, to Ed O'Bradovich to William Perry. Some of the selections, though, are mystifying. Abe Gibron? Bears' mascot? Bobby Douglass (I loved his style, but he was so erratic!)? It would have been nice to see longer features on such noteworthys as Bill George, Steve McMichael, Dick Butkus, and so on.

All in all, though, a lot of fun for Bears' fans. We've suffered through a lot of poor teams since the 1960s, but the champagne years have been treasures for us.





Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Chicago Bears-The Complete History 10 Stars+++++++++
By far, one of the best DVDs I watched!!! Very very interesting and entertaining. You don't have to be a Bears fan to enjoy it, just a football fan who likes the history of the game and all those great players of the past. I will watch it again and plan to get the Complete History DVD's of some of the other NFL teams.
