1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality gives one a headache..., July 26, 2003

By A Customer

This was a set I was really looking forward to, being a child of the 50's. What a disappointment! The transfer to DVD has a quality reminiscent of a VHS copied twenty times, each from the last copy rather than from the "master". I couldn't even bring myself to give them away; I tossed 'em in the trash.

5.0 out of 5 stars Correcting an error...., August 4, 2003

By A Customer

This DVD is probably a 3, but the 5 is to make-up for the "1" I assigned to it earlier in error. Wrong disc rated as a 1. This one's fine if you watch it on a 25" TV. But try anything larger and it gets pretty fuzzy. Sorry 'bout the earlier error.
