i've always hated that wig she was forced to wear for that character. she was & still is a good looking woman.  i think they should just have kept those in. that's one of the reasons we love the show

I was thrilled to see that they included "Scariest Moments" on the last DVD set; watched it the other night for the first time in YEARS.  I so vividly remember discovering it in a video bin in a North Dakota KMart one snowy afternoon when I was 11 or so -- couldn't wait to get it home, so I begged my mom and her best friend to let me watch it while we were visiting.  They're inevitably frustrating for people who are interested with the show but unfamiliar with its storylines; for me, however, I LOVE 'em.

(As far as Cassandra's wig is concerned:  sometime it's all that keeps me going ... [snow_tongue])

Cassandra's wig rocks my world. Although I still wonder whether the first wig she wore upon her arrival at Collinwood (wearing that mint green cape thing michael c has praised) wasn't a slightly re-styled version of the wig Buzz was wearing when last seen at the Great House...

(that would make an amusing fanfic--Cassandra stealing Buzz's hairpiece...)

and to think for years i watched this on VHS...

one can imagine how much room that took up. actually it wasn't that long ago that i upgraded the 1966 episodes to the "the beginnings" DVD format.

so i really cannot justify purchasing the series in a third format. but it's nice for the newcomer.

Speaking of Amazon, someone needs to correct the cast listing on the titles on some of the DS DVD's.  There is a "Herbert Holcombe" listed as one of the stars.

He does appear in Ep #89 as[spoiler]one of the men from the Collins Cannery that Burke tries to lure to his employ.[/spoiler]So, if the set with that ep is the one that lists his name, it is correct. But talk about listing a name out of left field!

It looks gorgeous.  But I already own all the DVDs.

They are claiming that the episodes have been newly "cleaned up," but I really doubt whether there is any difference in the previous releases.  There's a hyperbolic user review on Amazon that claims that the shows now look "as if they were produced yesterday."  I really doubt that...

I thought that review was hilarious.  And long.  But mostly hilarious.

Dear God!  it's going to be the size of a shoebox, but hold nearly 200 disks?  *shudder*

And how bitter could MPI make it for fans who bought the original DVD release to know they'd have to buy it all again just to get the Bathia Mapes blooper back?  btw, that isn't the only blooper that was edited out.  And I wonder whether some of the bloopers might have been included on the original blooper compilation if that was among the extras from the final DS original collection set?

The original bloopers compilation came out on a separate MPI DVD: DS Bloopers & Treasures.

Such great news about the Mapes blooper, I could hardly be happier tonight [ghost]

Thanks for the heads up, Jimbo!
