I hate to say it but MPI has a track record of falling asleep at the wheel when they've copied the master discs (or whatever) to make the DVD's. I've got several sets of DVDs and thus far there are 2 glitches that don't show up on the tapes. It appears to be something we have to accept since they don't seem to learn from their past experiences. But, having said all that, it is very convenient having the DVD's and not having to rewind anymore! One more thing, I wish they would have the very beginnings of the episodes showing the black board's with dates, etc. on them and the different people standing around in the fringes. One of my VHS's tapes of the collector's series has Joan Bennett waiting in the wings. It was great!
