Product Description
Darren McGavin and Burt Reynolds head a superb cast in this thrilling adventure series set aboard a stern-wheeler plying the Mississippi River in the 1840's. McGavin plays captain Grey Holden, who won the "Enterprise" in a poker game and Reynolds, in his first television series role, plays the boat pilot Ben Frazer. Drawing on stories from real-life travelers on the river, each episode of Riverboat relives events on the "Enterprise," as she travels up and down the Mississippi, America's premier waterway. Actors in recurring roles include Noah Beery, John Mitchum. Episode guest stars include Dan Duryea, Suzanne Pleshette, Eddie Albert, Claude Akins and Debra Paget.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where was Quality Control?, December 1, 2007

By	David Blake (Basingstoke, Hampshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's great to see all these titles being released by Timeless Media Group, but - if they are all as badly mastered as this set - they needn't have bothered.

I agree the previous comments - skips, pixilations - particularly on Disc Two. Timeless need to get their act together quickly - I would have thought a recall of all dodgy discs a necessary first step.

1.0 out of 5 stars Problems with the episode called BLOWUP, November 30, 2007

By	P. Williams "Guitar Man" (Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This series which we have all longed for to be put on to DVD has a major fault with Discs 2 & 3. The episode BLOWUP is faulty and will not play. Not enough care and attention has been paid to copying these episodes to DVD. Its not only my copy that is faulty, but people I know in the USA and in Australia are finding this DVD susbstandard with faults on this episode. They all need to be recalled and we should be supplied with episodes that play properly in our DVD players. So I advise everyone to steer clear of these DVDs until this fault has been corrected.

1.0 out of 5 stars TV Show is fine - DVD media is defective, March 9, 2008

By	Charles Hall (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought my discs in March 2008 and had the same problem everybody else did. Lots of pixelation and the second episode on the second disc ("Blow Up") stops half-way through. Timeless Media should be ashamed of themselves.

The quality of the show itself is fine. The source film prints are quite clear, the plots are adequate, and the acting is 1st rate. The show holds up quite well after all these years.
