Maya: The Series

I loved this show when it was on and have always wanted it. I am very happy with this dvd.It arrived on time and no problems with it.

I loved this series when I was young.

I I remember, as a child, this show and loved it! Sure technology changes but still loved the show.

I remember watching this show when i was a kid. It lacks all the flash of special effects and reuses some scenes but for the time and being filmed on location in India it holds up okay.The first set came with one disc that would not play 2 of the episodes. I returned it and reordered, the replacement all discs are fine.

It took three tries (including two from Amazon) purchasing this series due to poor quality dvds, but this set arrived in perfect condition. I watched this series as a youngster when I was the same age as Jay North and Sajid Kahn. I recently remembered it and was delighted to find it available on DVD. This is a great adventure series, full of exotic locales teaming with bad guys, both human and animal. The series utilized local Indian actors, who were not exactly Emmy nominees; but their presence adds to the authenticity of the scripts. The acting isn't that good; the scripts are hokey. Still, I enjoyed seeing this series again. Maya, the elephant, becomes a real star, especially when she charges in at a villain or stomps on a threatening cobra. Best of all, the series exhibits a respect for the local culture, something which I probably didn't appreciate so much as a kid. I recommend buying this series. Watch it with your kids. This is the way true tv adventure series used to be.

Beautiful landscaping of India and stories are fascinating.

A great look back at late 60's television. Beautifully filmed in India - both lead actors were real and convincing, Who knew Dennis the Menace would actually make it to his teen age years. Sajid Khan was a great mahout and a sparkling personality. Too bad the series only lasted one season.

I vaguely remember watching this during the NBC Fall 1967 season. After recently viewing several episodes, it is starting to come back to me... why I liked it so much as a child. It is kind of like "Route 66" only with boys, an elephant and India as a backdrop. Lots of action and good storylines. Kudos to MGM for filming on location and using many native actors. It does seem strange now that almost everyone in India in 1967 seemed to speak English.
