I still haven't taken the plunge because I suspect that, as soon as I do, they'll announce a Blu-ray release.
One of the episodes in season 3, I think, had some serious sync issues. The sound was off and it was very noticeable. Sadly, I don't recall which episode it was. That would be my best guess as a place to check.nigel19 said:I recently received a used Most Wanted set of the series from an Amazon seller - but a company rather than an individual.
I've been trying to find a way to see if I have a corrected set . The yellow sticker mentioned earlier is not in place but could easily have been removed .
I've fast forwarded through a couple of episodes I've seen listed as having playback issues but is there just one safe and definite place to look to see if the set is corrected .
Is there just one moment on the set where I can look and know for sure its right or wrong ?
The email address to request replacements that was given by TVshowsondvd seems to be no longer active.
Edit - if the info about the running figure next to the logo is right then I don't have corrected discs . Any idea how I can contact CBS about this? Thanks
So even though the running man figure is not on my discs the set may still be corrected then ? That makes it more difficult then.Brian Himes said:One of the episodes in season 3, I think, had some serious sync issues. The sound was off and it was very noticeable.

I would imagine that the running man figure on the replacement discs was not going to carry over to the 100% corrected/perfect sets. I think they only used the running man on the discs as a way to separate them from the originals. I can tell you that the replacements did indeed have the running man figure on them.
Thanks - I'll try those 2 episodes with synch issues. (Tried them - oh dear . Badly out of synch)stevelecher said:Watch Bloodline and Taps For A Dead War from S1. The sound synch is off here. There are a couple blasts of Heyes music on S2's Iron Maiden, when the photograper jumps in his car and when Gerard closes his suitcase and says, on the phone, that either way it looks like we got him this time.
I would be surprised if your set has corrected discs.
Always thought the way you do. Part I was good and the idea that Johnson perhaps only witnessed the murder was intriguing. But then none of the second part makes sense when the writers chickened out and decided to have Johnson be the murderer. My problems:1. If Johnson is the murderer, Lloyd Chandler has no reason to bail Johnson out of jail. Even if Chandler did the murder, he had no reason to bail him out either. In either case, Johnson didn't know who he was and would have no way to find out. If the police started to suspect Johnson as Kimble's one armed man, they wouldn't believe him when he said he just happened to be around there and was simply a witness to Helen's murder.2. Why in the world would Chandler send money to that bail bondsman using Len Taft's name? Makes no sense. Joe Smith would have been a better name.3. With Johnson being the murderer, how can he blackmail the witness? "Pay me $50,000.00 or I'll tell the police you saw me murder Mrs. Kimble. I'll wreck your reputation." Really? Murderer or witness, Johnson was in no position to blackmail anyone.Anyway, I agree with you about Part II but I'm very happy the series had a concluding episode that saw Kimble exonerated. I wish we could have had a TV movie a few years later showing how Kimble adjusted to life as a free man again. I'm thinking he dealt with some demons and nightmares after his ordeal.Hollywoodaholic said:Watched the finale for perhaps the first time since the show aired (to like 80 million or something) and wow was that second part lame. Probably the worst episode (and there weren't many bad) of the series, with J. D. Cannon going full-tilt cartoon on us. The first part was well-plotted, but that second half just slapped stuff together and made zero sense. And it sure cost them a lot in syndication for doing that. The producers probably regretted ending it like that ever since. But it was worth it to see David Janssen break a smile (was it Kimble or Janssen being freed?). I believe my TV screen actually cracked.
Lloyd Chandler was obviously a man with issues (and J.D. Cannon played the character well) so someone of his caliber isn't always going to think and act rationally. He was obsessed with the idea of what could happen if Fred Johnson is brought to trial. That Johnson would say he saw someone there at the house when Helen Kimble was murdered. Chandler's wife remembers he went to visit the Kimble's the night in question. She realizes her husband was there and saw what happened. Whether he killed Helen or not is now irrelevant. The fact that he knew Richard Kimble didn't commit the murder and yet allowed him to suffer all that he had gone through needlessly........well you see he would be toatally disgraced. He did nothing to help Helen when Johnson attacked her and said nothing in Richard Kimble's defense.stevelecher said:1.

Doubtful the next set they send you will be any better. Hope I'm wrong. They're not sending a new, unopened set to you because the used one you got from them is defective, are they? I would expect CBS to respond to you in some manner. Let us know.nigel19 said:Thanks - I'll try those 2 episodes with synch issues. (Tried them - oh dear . Badly out of synch) I sent a lengthy email to the seller explaining about the issues with the 5 discs and they're going to send me an entire replacement set!!!Seems extravagant . I assume it will be used but if it contains the corrected discs it will be a great result as they don't want the old one back.But with no response from CBS what will I do if the replacement also has the incorrect versions?
Still not heard from CBS . I might try tvSHOWsondvd in a few days as the email that does not work is the one that appears on their site when you do a search.stevelecher said:Doubtful the next set they send you will be any better.

The man was a coward and was coming unhinged under the stress of living with his guilty conscience.
Just my two cents for what it's worth.
