Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I remember seeing this show as a child in the mid 1960s, but hadn't seen it since. It was great to get this DVD and revisit a fond childhood memory. The show doesn't have the panache of a CSI, or the action of 24, and is about as far from trendy as you'll get. But it has a quiet mesmerizing charm about it. When I started to play this DVD, my wife and son and I sat through over 2 episodes without hardly moving a muscle. And my son isn't usually interested in anything from the past. So this show obviously has something. It was produced with a lot of thoughtfulness, and the stories are interesting. It was produced in Canada starting in 1963, and I beleive it ran for three seasons. The first three episodes on this DVD are in color, even though they were presented in black & white when initially shown on TV. The rest of the episodes are black and white. To me, it looks better in black and white. Anyway, the DVD transfers look excellent, and the episodes appear to be complete. The color portions are a little washed out in places, but not bad. I'm sure they did the best with what they had to work with. Overall, I highly recommend this DVD. It would be great to watch with the whole family.
