I love this series and finally ordered all 5 seasons. I have spent the last 2 weeks watching them in Quantum Leap Bliss. The show itself is wonderful; however, I had problems with the manufacturing of the DVD's themselves. Each season had at least one disk with problems (i.e. missing bonus features, episodes that won't play in the "play all" mode, but will if you access it from the "episode index," episodes where the show gets hung up, then starts, then gets hung up, then starts, and on and on, and episodes that won't play at all (black screen), etc. I have just done the "exchange" process through Amazon and hope the next set they send me will not have this problem, but that means I'll have to watch 5 seasons again in a short amount of time in order to view them all before the 30-day return period ends (in case the new set has similar problems). If there were not any problems with the disks, I would have rated this a 5-star.

One of my favourite television series made less enjoyable by the studio's striving to save pennies while sacrificing quality. Discs are double sided and therefore more easily subject to damage than the more common single sided discs. And, as another reviewer noted, damaged discs with episodes that will not play are a problem in more than one season.

Out of the many hundreds of DVDs that I have watched, never have I encountered a series set with so many problems. The fact that the problems are not resolved by replacing the discs strongly suggests a production problem. What a shame that the studio could not have been more concerned with quality. Perhaps they will release a new and improved set at some point in the future. Until then QL fans and those just discovering this wonderful and original show will have to put up with faulty product.

This was exactly what I wanted, infact more than what I expected. This package included the first 5 seasons not just the first four. I thought it only had the first four seasons so I purchased the fifth season separately. Now I have to spend time and money sending it back.
