4.0 out of 5 stars Great shows - quality??, June 9, 2006

By	James G. Matlock (AUSTIN, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love the Inspector Morse shows and these are absolutely awesome but I was disappointed in the quality. I'm not a technical expert with dvds and remastering but I immediately noticed that the shows looked like a homemade vcr tape edition. Wasn't the end of the world but a bit disappointing. I bought two different sets and found both the same so I'm guessing the small Canadian company didn't have the same standards as I have come to expect with dvds. Overall, great shows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful British Detective Series, but not Closed Captioned, June 7, 2006

By	Melinda S. (Washington) - See all my reviews

I loved the Inspector Morse series as shown in the US on PBS. I missed the show and decided to buy my favorite seasons. Much to my dismay, I discovered that the closed captions provided by PBS are NOT on the DVDs.

I love the storylines, the music, the characters -- Morse, Lewis, and Strange -- and of couse the wonderful actors who brought them to life, particularly John Thaw and Kevin Whatley.

I've bought three sets so far, and I enjoy them. But my hair is as white as Morse's, so for me, the sets would be PERFECT if the DVDs offered closed caption options.
