No on expedited shipping, Gary, but it was shipped on 29th and I got it Feb. 2, which is pretty good for DDD. I'm also in Florida, and I don't know what warehouse it ships from.

There are about 20 minutes of classic commercials on Disc 4, alternating between Chevrolet, Bayer and Milk of Magnesia. But having all those Corvair ads on a show featuring a Corvette is an ironic (and historical) hoot. Where's Ralph Nader? The Impala ad featuring the family car zipping along the beaches near Cape Canaveral and the Saturn rockets is also a great nostalgia trip.

Spot checking more episodes; "Welcome to Amity" with Susan Oliver is remarkably pristine clear. But most episodes just look very good. And there's the recently late Lois Nettleton in "The Opponent" on Disc 4. I'm sure there will be quibbles on the sound, though, but there would probably have to be some serious restoration to bring the sound up to today's standards.

All in all, I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised.
