I decided to start a new thread on this topic because I noticed many people are talking about these problems in individual series threads, but there is no individual thread dealing with this topic specifically so people might not be aware of this problem that is destroying people's TV on DVD collections, and it concerns tv dvd sets.
Some TV on DVD series set used Scanavo slimline packaging. If you do a search of "Have Gun Will Travel" or "Andy Griffith Show" or "Scanavo" in this forum, you will find messages from consumers who have disc rot apparently caused by the oily surface of the cases.
Apparently, amazon is selling the Have Gun Will Travel Season 3 set for a remarkably low price because of this. Read the reviews there.
The purpose of this thread is to document all TV shows on dvd sets that use Scanavo cases.
It's not just a Paramount problem. For example, my season 3 of Fox's "Lost in Space" uses Scanavo cases. Luckily, I don't see any damage. Nevertheless, I flipped the discs over so that the label side faces the case, so that the shiny side doesn't come in contact with the case to be on the safe side.
UPDATE: The word, Scanavo, is embossed in the plastic case. It is located inside when you open the case, at the bottom, close to the center spine.
