This review is from: Classic Television Legends - 300 Episodes (DVD)

I am not going to go through what's on the disks - others have done that already. I would, however like to mention that when my set arrived it was missing disk 22, and had 2 copies of disk 23! I contacted Mill Creek customer support through email, and found them very helpful. Within a couple of days I had a copy of disk 22 posted to me, and I now have a complete set.

Thankyou Mill Creek for excellent products, and excellent service.
