Still Fun!.......2007-04-17

I was unsure about buying this DVD set since some other reviewers had said it was of such bad quality etc. However, I did buy it and I was very happy that I did as it was just as fun and entertaining as I remember it being when I was young and first watched it. The DVD is just the bare minimum, but that is really enough. The episodes look just like they did when they aired on tv to my eyes. The adventures are fun and would be slightly spooky to children. Even with out the ability to spook an older audience the stories are still fun to watch and the acting quality is good. Lots of interesting guest stars. A good buy for someone who watched the first time around or for parents looking for something different for their kids.

After reading one of the earlier reviews of this show I held off buying this dvd set. It sounded like the episodes were burned into cardboard instead of the traditional disc. However, after much hesitation my better sense prevailed and I took the chance. I have found the quality to be very good and there is nothing wrong with the sound. The trick here is to have an optical cable run from the output of your dvd player into your receiver that accepts Dolby Digital. If this is done you'll have a fine-sounding 5 channel playback. Without the optical cable you will not here the sound in Dolby Digital. As far as the packaging, there is nothing at all wrong with it. You get 5 discs with this set. There are 4 episodes per disc except for disc 1 which has only 3 episodes on it. There are your 19 episodes. I have a 50" large screen TV and as far as I'm concerned this BMG company did a very fine job with such a fine series. It's just a shame the show didn't go over better when it was on network TV. I highly recommend this and I'm certain you won't be at all disappointed. I'm very pickie when it comes to picture quality and this is very nice quality!

Cult quality show about the center of weirdness for the whole planet.......2006-12-23

"To whom it may concern. If you're reading this document, it means I'm either dead - or disappeared under mysterious circumstances. My name is Marshall Teller." Very much in X-Files territory for kiddies (plus a little of 'Malcolm in the middle' type sitcom), this was an entertaining and 'different' series in its day (1991 to 1992).

My son (10) likes to watch these episodes, although I have to sit with him as he knows they are a mildly spooky. A few of the jokes must go over his head, e.g. lines mentioning Elvis Presley and the Twin Peak's 'Log Lady', but he clearly identifies with the likeable young boy leads (Marshall is 15 and friend Simon is 11, although they look younger). This DVD set looks and sounds good on the small screen and the special effects haven't really dated (there aren't that many anyway) - they have high production values giving a similar feel to that of the 1960's classic ScFi series 'Lost in Space'. There aren't that many episodes on each DVD, so obviously the series didn't outstay its welcome. I assume the plug was pulled during season 2, as there was an episode 'The Jolly Roger' that was never filmed. This DVD set has the eighteen screened episodes, with titles such as 'Reality takes a holiday', 'Zombies in PJs', and 'Marshall's theory of believability', and also includes the extra 'unshown' nineteenth episode 'The unbroken record' - which wasn't screened in the US until late 1993, a year after the original series had finished. In 'Tornado days', obsessed 'Howard Raymer' was also 'Max Headroom' (one of my favourite TV characters from 1987). Plus it's great to see John Astin occasionally (Gomez from the classic 1960s Addams Family TV series) as Radford.

The storylines range from 'Forever-ware' plastic storage containers (a good skit on the 60's 'Tupperware' parties for those who remember them) to a particularly disturbing one on a child's metal dental-work bridge picking up the dark thoughts of dogs like an aerial. My son particularly liked the 'ATM with a heart of gold' (and this is just the first 3 episodes). Typical series quote : 'A haunted toaster, cool !". Probably this series will only be bought by those who have seen it in their youth, but it still seems to be watchable for today's youngsters (particularly boys). So good value and highly recommended. "Still don't believe me - you will."

Awesome for Kids and Adults.......2006-11-10

Great box set for a truly inspired bit of lunacy from the 80's. Writing, Directing, and great stunt casting make for a funny show the whole family can enjoy. Better than most things on today and hasn't aged at all.
