Title: CONTENT EXCELLENT BUT...VIDEO QUALITY EXTREMELY POOR
Review: I'M SURPRISED ONLY ONE OTHER REVIEW FOR THIS SET MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM AND BOY IS IT A PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS EPISODES THAT HAVE HORIZONTAL RED LINES RUNNING ACROSS THE SCREEN. THESE VARY IN INTENSITY FROM A LIGHT SHADE TO A DARKER SHADE BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS VISIBLE AND REALLY DETRACT FROM THE ENJOYMENT OF THE EPISODES IN MY OPINION. THE EPISODES THEMSELVES ARE CLASSIC S & S AND ARE GOOD FOR MANY LAUGHS BUT THERE IS REALLY NO EXCUSE FOR SONY RELEASING THIS SET WITH THE OBVIOUS DEFECTS THAT THESE DISCS HAVE. SONY PROBABLY SAVED A FEW BUCKS AND IN THIER RUSH TO GET THEM OUT THE DOOR JUST SKIPPED QC ALL TOGETHER. IS IT A TRANSFER PROBLEM? A MANUFACTURING DEFECT? WHO KNOWS?...BUT BE AWARE THAT YOU WILL HAVE SERIOUS VIDEO ANOMOLIES WITH THIS SET. IF YOU CAN LIVE WITH THAT, YOU WILL ENJOY THE CONTENT WITH FRED, LAMONT AND THE GANG(MOST NOTABLY ESTHER WHO IS OUTRAGEOUS!) WERE IN THEIR PRIME.
