Well, I have to say that really is a big plus for me as I was about to be forced to add another room on just to house the collection. Not really, but it is getting really crowded behind my bedroom armoire - and the dust bunnies are very perturbed about it.
Like several others on the board I got the first DVD set yesterday and happily unwrapped it like a kid on Christmas day. I watched the first few eps and haven't noticed any problems with them...except the volume seems to fluctuate a bit. Since I was doing homemade tapes (SLP, 10 eps per tape) I’m really getting into the overall better quality and the fact that I don’t have to see a John Edward promo or a Blimpie commercial every 10 minutes (or zip past them).
As to that rude Entertainment Weekly review , well it just figures you might get something like this from a magazine that has the initials EW (ewwwwwwww!) . Wadda they know! In light of the crud they call horror these days (slash-gash-trash) it seems DS fans may be some of the few (but not only) to truly appreciate the subtlety of the early B&W eps and their innate eeriness. The more I watch them the more I love them!
I'm with you Castlebee i have a lot of homemade tapes but the commerials are really irritating also sometimes i would forget to tape and lose a few episodes! so much work! also big to store!
