I bought the Lassie 50th Anniversary DVD set a few years back and was disappointed in the quality of the prints. I figured that a 50th Anniversary set would be given special treatment and have the best prints possible...boy was I wrong. While watchable, the prints were far from acceptable in my book.
The closing music on many episodes of "Jeff's Collie" had a wavy or unbalanced sound.
Every "Timmy and Lassie" episode in this set, opened with the same 1959 opening, even if it was a 1960 or 1962 episode.
The "color years" episodes were washed out and the show openings were mismatched.
The only saving grace for this DVD set was that the episodes chosen were the best. The included booklet was pretty good too.
