Title: Series is great, transfer is terrible
Review: I love this series - indeed I've got most of the episodes on VHS tape. I taped them probably the first time they appeared on PBS, over a decade or so ago.Since I *do* have them on tape, I knw what they're supposed to look like. Well...the problems should be obvious to everyone. The episodes are too dark, the film grainy, the color faded, and "crisp and clear" would not be the way to describe how everything looks.If you've got these episodes on tape, don't bother to "upgrade" to DVD, because there's no upgrade involved. If you don't have them on VHS, go ahead and buy a copy - or wait until a used version comes up for half price or less...that's really all these deplorable transfers are worth.
