This three-disc set includes the first 16 episodes of season three in all of their traditional, black and white glory. Sadly there aren't any special features included, but considering the age of the series and its obscure nature, it was probably very difficult to put together much of anything of value for this release. Despite this, it still would have been nice to see a little more about this innovative, unique series.
From Chicago to Oregon, everything about this show is extraordinary, almost literary. From the catchy opening music, "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66," to images of the iconic, all-American Corvette, Route 66 captures a phenomenal view of 1960s America and the colorful stories of everyday people. Because of this, episodes range from heavily dramatic and emotional to comedic and light-hearted. Even though the show can feel dated at times, its themes and emotions still resonate with viewers.
Route 66 delivers something different with each episode that will keep viewers coming back to see what happens. This kind of television is rare these days, and it's wonderful to see this great series released on DVD.
