2.0 out of 5 stars Worst DVD quality I've ever seen, December 9, 2001
This review is from: Wonder Years: The Best of (DVD)
I got this DVD in the hope that I could replace one or two VHS tapes from my collection. After seeing it, I'll certainly keep the tapes around. The picture is grainy as if it had been taped from a station with poor reception.

As for the DVD contents, I wouldn't call this 'the best'. I have watched every episode from the wonder years, and while I admit it has one of the best finales from the history of TV (in my opinion, obviously), there were other episodes that deserved to make the best.

Also, the DVD only has 71 minutes. They could at least fill it up. The pilot would have been nice to have, maybe a few minutes with the scenes of the now famous guest stars, or a small 'where are they now' of the cast...something that makes a difference with a home made collection.

In short: If you have the episodes on tapes, don't buy this DVD. If you are going to buy a new DVD player and want to check its picture quality, don't buy this DVD. Of course if you like good TV and don't care much about anything else, well, the wonder years was a great show.

2.0 out of 5 stars What Could Have Been..., July 18, 2001
By 
"floydian-slip" (Richmond, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wonder Years: The Best of (DVD)
I would have started out this review by saying that "LaserLight" should be ashamed for putting something like this out, but then I realized I have never heard of "LaserLight" and DVDs of this quality may very well explain why. I am a closet Wonder Years fan, and I was eagerly anticipating this "Best of" compilation. Unfortunately, all the reviews before mine accurately sum up every one of the faults of this DVD. The disc only has one episode on it, with a "Highlights" section preceding this lonely episode to round out the paltry 71 minutes of material. Admittedly, I found that the editing done during the "Highlights" portion was accomplished reasonably well, with no harsh jumps or obvious transition flaws. The section does not, however, lay any type of background down about the show or its characters before sending the viewer off to the Series Finale. Tech. wise my biggest complaint was the audio, it was atrocious. A TV show of this caliber deserves so much more and I can only hope that at some point (in the near future?) a company goes back and does it justice, for this DVD surely doesn't.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst of the Wonder Years, January 25, 2002
This review is from: Wonder Years: The Best of (DVD)
I am not necessarily referring to the content, although this DVD hardly rates as a "Best of" this wonderful series. Certainly, the finale episode was one of the best, but there were so many episodes (or parts thereof) that were ignored. Do not waste your money or your time. The quality of this DVD is horrid; I agree with another reviewer who said it looks like it was transferred from a tape. Actually, the qualify is not even that good. This series deserves a first-class DVD tratment, produced by someone who appreciates the series and really understands what "best of" this series was all about. This is a very rank attempt by Laser Light to cash in on the fact that the series was being featured on Nick at Nite. If you recorded the series on videotape, as I and many others did, PLEASE save your tapes. (Thank God I did!) Avoid this DVD, even (and maybe especially) if you are a TWY fan; if you buy this DVD, you are only encouraging companies like Laser Light to continue to rip us and other off. Let us hope that TWY will one day be produced on DVD in a manner befitting of one of the best series on TV ever.
