2.0 out of 5 stars a great old tv series poorly reproduced, August 4, 1999

By A Customer

Ozzie and Harriet is a great example of the perfect American family as portrayed in the 50's. Unfortunately the manufacturer (Marathon Music & Video) could have done a better job. Only a small handful of episodes when David and Ricky were little (possibly some of the best episodes). To much time spent on later years. This company says that because of the age of the subject mater there are flaws. The truth is this company spent little time remastering. Lip sync is off in some episodes and others are soft focus due to no regard to providing quaility. An annoying announcer has to describe each episode rather then provide the original opening and closings. And they are so proud of their logo they have provided the MM&V at the bottom of each entire episode. There was no excuse for this poor reproduction....episodes were presented on cable TV in beautiful detail. MM&V should go back to and digitally reproduce each episode exactly as they were originally presented without the announcer. These look more like poor reproductions of "public domain" material.

1.0 out of 5 stars Look ma, I can edit stuff!!!, December 23, 2007

I own this set and want to warn others about it. If you're a fan of old tv like me the ideal is a well restored program as originally broadcast ( commercials too in some cases). In this set the show's openings and closings are even edited. Most shows in the set just start with the action, NO THEME, NO OPENING OR CLOSING. Instead you have some would-be announcer/tv historian narrating an intro to each episode. WITHOUT DOUBT THE WORST JOB OF A TV SET I'VE SEEN. O & H is a great old show, that's the one redeeming value here, but hardly worth the annoyance. Especially since there are now some well done sets out on dvd (and some adequate ones in vhs if you want). Stay away from this butcher job!
