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.

... 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.

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.

SailFish Media did a great job to send an excellent set of the old series, "Adventures In Paradise"! This series was thought lost for so many years and to see it on Digital Television is far better than that of reception received by television sets from T.V. stations back in the fifties and sixties. Thank you SailFish Media for providing DVD sets for this series!

I LOVED this series when I was in high school. It is a shame that someone didn't pick this series to remake. The picture quality is not good--but I am so glad to see the episodes again, that I don't care. Good stories and outdoor scenes. Much better than what is being produced today.

The disc I received is not the one pictured. I will keep it because it has some of the episodes that I don't have from Disc set 1

It was worth it to see this TV series again. I wish someone could video enhance it cause this product is quite poor video quality. Sometimes the sound is fuzzy or choppy. Could be this show was on old kinescope wire or something but don't exptect 1080 p.......(joke)
