Major sound problems 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 7 people found this review helpful.
I just received this for Christmas and was so excited to reconnect with Dr. Quinn. I loved this show when it was on and I started watching right away. Unfortunately the sound was completely out of sync. I jumped around to many episodes and they were all out of sync. I will be sending this back and hope that the new set doesn't have these problems so I can enjoy the show!!!!
Anyone else had these problems?
Great series but... 4 out of 5 stars.

This is an excellent series, but be aware that these DVDs do NOT have closed captioning or subtitles. Also, the packaging is flimsy. The studio definitely skimped on this set.

We just watched the pilot episode and enjoyed it thoroughly. BUT there is no close-captioning and no subtitles. We would have paid more to have that feature.

What a deal! I've been pining for (the fijords) this DVD set for years, and when I saw that it was only $40, I had to jump on it. The Pythons are the Beatles of comedy, and this set is spectacular. The menus are great; you can watch whole episodes, or pick just the skits. There's all kinds of trivia too. The bonus features include the Hollywood Bowl performance, and a reunion special from Aspen ten years ago. I am so happy to finally have this amazing series in my collection, along with the Python movies.

Clear picture and sound - wonderful series 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This is for those who remember this great, great series and wish to own it, and also for those who have heard about it and want to add it to their collections, but are fearful that the quality of this set may be poor.
I recently purchased this set and found the picture and sound quality of these DVDs to be perfectly fine. If there is anything that may take some getting used to it's the variety of London accents of the characters, just as was the case in 1971.
This is a series shot in a studio for television in the early '70s, not some "blockbuster" film shot a year ago with 21st century technology. But this set looks and sounds the same as it would if Masterpiece Theater reran it on television today. It's perfectly clear all around. If you're inclined to buy this set don't let anything stop you. You will love every minute of it as much as I have.

Dead Parrot, Silly Walks, Cheese Shop and More... 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 12 people found this review helpful.
"Monty Python's Flying Circus" was created in 1969 by the BBC as Britain's response to "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In," the NBC show that was enjoying huge ratings at the time. The Monty Python troupe consisted of Cambridge and Oxford graduates John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. American-born Terry Gilliam provided the show's surreal animated sequences, which were interspersed among the skits.
"The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus Collector's Edition" is a massive, 21-disc box set containing every episode of the show's four-season run. The series is uneven and has its share of misfires, but when the comedy lands, the skits are hilarious. The "Ministry of Silly Walks" hangs on the long-legged Cleese's unbridled lunacy in high-stepping around the office, making methodical turns with precisely looney leg contortions and never skipping a beat delivering the dialogue. The skit is slapstick performed magnificently, and it's hard not to break up watching it.
"The Cheese Shop" also features Cleese, this time as a customer trying to order a bit of cheese from proprietor Jones only to be told, after requesting by name every type of cheese on the face of the earth, that it is either sold out, no longer available, not carried, or on order. Watching Cleese go from mild annoyance to apoplexy is a riot. Other highlights include the "Dead Parrot," the lumberjack song, and "The Spanish Inquisition."
The set also contains "Monty Python Live," a collection bringing together nearly 30 years of live performances, including the vintage 1972 "Live at the Hollywood Bowl," the 1998 reunion "Live at Aspen, 20 Years of Python," and the original 1972 "Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus #1" rare German episode. In addition, there are are six mini-documentaries in the "Monty Python's Personal Best Collection," with songs and sketches from the entire series. There are two new documentaries chronicling how the Monty Python team was born that feature interviews with the Pythons, rare vintage photos, and home movies. The set is also chock full of bonus features that take the viewer behind the scenes, offering insight into how comedy routines are created and developed.

Very Nice Collection 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.
I'm not even a Yankee fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. The people at the YES network have put together a collection that is nothing short of classic baseball history. My favorites were the segments featuring the old-timers, particularly since they contain a lot of vintage footage that I'd never before seen. I hope someone at MLB is watching the success of this DVD and will create a similar collection featuring many more great players (and managers) from other teams.

It's the Benny Hill show! 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.
I have fond memories of this show from my childhood, so when I saw this box set I had to grab it. And - what can I say? The Benny Hill Show is funny stuff. His songs are clever, and who can forget the trademark chase sequences to the tune of "Yakety Sax"?
Some have said that Hill's humor is sexist - however, it is not demeaning to women at all. Nearly every time Benny himself, in the form of the "dirty old man," randy doctor, et cetera, is the butt of the joke.
The video quality is not the best, and in fact some episodes are in black and white. I'm sure this is because of the quality of the original masters. In any case, this set is quite watchable. Also, note that it includes the complete run of shows he did for Thames TV, which are the ones that were repackaged for overseas markets, but not the preceding BBC shows.
Editorial Review:
The bawdy humor of Benny Hill has attracted fans from the far flung reaches of the globe. It seems to matter little that his style is quintessentially British for Benny is able to produce an aching belly laugh no matter where he touts his wares. His years spent making programs for Thames Television are among the most fondly remembered by his fans and they've been restored from the vaults and lovingly presented on this release.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/SLAPSTICK UPC: 733961775433 Manufacturer No: AAAE77543

Editorial Review:
UFO was Gerry Anderson's first live-action TV series after a decade of producing such children's animated classics as Stingray (1963) and Thunderbirds (1964). The premise of UFO, which ran for a single season of 26 episodes in 1970, was like a more serious version of Anderson's Captain Scarlet (1967): in the near future of 1980, a high-tech secret organization, SHADO, waged covert war against mysterious alien attackers. Ed Bishop played the American head of SHADO--he had been previously featured in Captain Scarlet and Anderson's Doppelganger (1969)--though in all other respects this was a thoroughly British production. As with all Anderson series, UFO evidenced remarkable technological inventiveness and groundbreaking production values, coupled with startling lapses in fundamental logic too numerous to list.Much more adult in story and content than earlier Anderson productions, and surprisingly dark with its pragmatic view of human nature and downbeat endings, the show now seems like a forerunner of The X-Files and the equally short-lived Dark Skies (1996). Barry Gray's memorable theme and atmospheric music greatly enhanced the overall impact. Stylishly made, though terribly sexist by current standards and featuring eye-catching costumes more fitted for a campy dress party than the front line of a futuristic war, this cult classic eventually evolved into Space: 1999 (1975).
The UFO DVDs have been beautifully designed and produced. The mono sound is exceptionally strong, and the restored and remastered picture is almost unbelievably good for a 1970 TV show. With barely a flaw anywhere, the episodes look so clear, colorful, and detailed that they could have been filmed last week. This eight-disc megaset features all 26 episodes. --Gary S. Dalkin

Editorial Review:
When it was first broadcast in 1975, there had never been a more lavishly produced science fiction TV series than Space: 1999, a British production whose budget for the first of its two seasons ran an astounding £3.25 million. What keeps us fans enthralled after all these years has only partly to due with the first-rate production values, the plausibly constructed spaceship models, and expert special effects. The tone of the show is one of scientific dispassion, setting it apart from its TV sci-fi predecessors such as Star Trek, whose mood was more convivial. Our heroes here are in dire circumstances that require cool heads as a survival trait. Those circumstances: the 311 crew members of Moonbase Alpha experience a cataclysm that causes the moon to break away from Earth's orbit and travel endlessly through space, turning our heroes into unintentional explorers. No TV series has created a more palpable feel of hard science fiction than this.Of course the show is not without its detractors; it has been soundly lambasted for its many scientific errors. No less august a figure than Isaac Asimov criticized the show for its premise in the opening episode, "Breakaway," which had nuclear explosions on the "dark side of the moon" somehow propelling it out of Earth's orbit and flying through space without regard to any physical laws. In "Earthbound," aliens traveling to Earth state it will take them 75 years to reach their destination, making one wonder why it didn't take the moon that long to encounter the aliens. While these are serious complaints, fans tend to remember the scientific seriousness of the series and the sense of awe created by the many strange creatures and phenomena that the crew members encounter on their journey through the galaxy.
The Space: 1999 30th Anniversary Mega Set collects all 48 episodes broadcast over the show's two seasons, contained on 17 DVDs that include vintage interviews, production stills, TV promotional spots, and interactive menus, and some material that was not seen in the original U.S. broadcasts has been restored. The episodes do not use the 2005 high-def remasters, so this is essentially the same as the 2002 Mega Set, but at a fraction of the shelf space (the Thinpak packaging is nicely compact) and a fraction of the price. --Jim Gay
