4.0 out of 5 stars
Gardner McKay!!!!!, August 25, 2007
This review is from: Adventures in Paradise - Volume 2 - 8 Disc Set (DVD)
these are b+w with video quality poor at times, but audio stays ok. lovely haunting score (you'll know it when you hear it,if you're over 11) gorgeous man, he wasn't an actor, which is why he seems real and natural and everyone else seems to be overacting. he just died a couple of years ago. he did much besides the TV show and comes from an interesting family with a long history of sea-faring. google him. one of the websites on him has a gallery of pix of him and clips of the theme music. he's my desktop wallpaper! that brooding face, the south sea scenery, the music, and the concept, which is a guy starting his own business, shipping cargo between islands, his own boss, his own boat is his home, freedom. most of the plots are silly, but it had a mystique about it that has boomers in several countries blogging about it 50 years later, men and women alike. if you miss him, these are worth having. but i'm not buying more untill they make better copies, remaster, or whatever they do. there'l be quite a market for them. The one I have is season 2. I loved watching it.

Just Like I Remember, June 25, 2008
This review is from: Adventures in Paradise - Volume 2 - 8 Disc Set (DVD)
... including the lousy reception with "rabbit ears." These are degraded recordings carelessly transferred to DVD; but all the pirates, smugglers, spies, and con-men are there, just like I (sort of) remember them. This is all that seems to be left of a great series. Pity.

Not viewable! Poor quality copies!, June 10, 2008
This review is from: Adventures in Paradise - Volume 2 - 8 Disc Set (DVD)
I purchased the 3 volumes of Cd's and they are terrible! Not viewable!
My requests for returns/exchanges went ignored! Don't buy these. You'll be ripped off.
