I was really looking forward to this set. As of this writing I have not reviewed or watched volumes 7 through 16 but if they are like this one, I will definitely have issues. The quality of the shows is all over the board, from scratchy 16mm prints to fairly good quality. The shows are not in chronological order of date produced and aired, which brings up another interesting thing about these DVDs. Some episodes have the credits from shows done in 1952, when it is clearly evident that these were later episodes in the series. Proof of that is the same credits on three of 4 shows on 1 DVD, featuring the wrong actors in the episode, and the same 1952 copyright date.

I have watched 5 of the 6 DVDs in this package and each DVD has 4 episodes. Unfortunately, I have twice already experienced the same episode on 2 different DVDs. So far, out of the 20 episodes I have watched, only 18 are different, and at least 3 have the wrong credits.

Very disappointed and I would like an explanation. While I am enjoying the shows, I expect better quality from an Amazon vendor.

As verified by someone else's review, the picture quality jumps around from "decent" to "poor." A couple episodes are so difficult to watch you'll be forced to skip to the next episode. A few of them have been edited and the closing credits don't match with the episode (apparently very poor editing, why would you want to see who is in the cast you just watched when the closing credits belong to a different episode?). Worse, the company superimposed their company logo on the corner of the screen. Very annoying. The packaging is very attractive, I'll give them that. But it's the only thing attractive and good about these DVDs. If you want superb quality, I recommend you get the 25-disc box set from CoverOut dot com because their product is much, much better. I bought a set last month and have been pleased all the way.

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were my heroes as a child. I later learned they were Christians, and that made me love them even more. I like their wholesomeness and good example for children as well as adults. It would be good if children and adults would watch and consider their example.
