Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I first ordered these DVD sets, I did so with great trepidation. Would seeing the shows again after a 30 year hiatus live up to my memories of it being a deep, compelling and thoroughly entertaining experience? Or, would I be disappointed and feel foolish for thinking so highly of the 70's fare?
I can say happily that I am not only not disappointed, I even enjoy the shows more now. The sci-fi in these shows is original, deep and thought provoking. These are not just a re-hashed Gilligan's Island with dinos - these shows are so well thought out, even by today's standards. After seeing such technological feats as Gollum and the dinos in Jurassic Park, it's easy to get judgmental over the special effects, but the special effects in these TV shows trumped anything else on TV at that time by leaps and bounds. It was a forward thinking show that appealed (and still appeals) to children and adults.
Not only are the shows awesome - the commentary tracks and interviews are pure unadulterated GOLD! I caught myself laughing out loud to some of the comments by Wesley Eure (Will Marshall) and Kathy Coleman (Holly Marshall). I was tickled by the interview with Walker Edmiston, who was not only the voice of Enik, but the voices of Sigmund, Burp, Slurp and Big Daddy on Sigmund and the Sea Monsters (among others) and he gives demos of those voices - what a joy! My face hurt after watching these episodes from smiling so much during the commentaries and interviews.
This set is so well done, I feel like sending a box of chocolates to everyone at Rhino. They even put an Easter Egg in the DVD - if you're in the Extras section and hit the menu button on your remote (not on the screen), you get a blow-up of an 8-track cassette showing Wesley Eure's greatest hits!
I would have liked to have seen the stars show photos of themselves (and/or home movies) at different ages, with various stars out of makeup, etc. I loved the fact that the stars appreciated the shows as much as the viewers. This Season 2 set is purely awesome!
