Rating:  - Reformatted to 16:9--Aaaaaargh!
The title says it all. Now that I've opened the package it's unreturnable. I never imagined at this time that a company reissuing an iconic tv series would even consider doing this, especially since Vol 1, is correctly formatted. The only indication of the reformat is in the fine print, and the reviews, which, unfortunately I didn't read. I would not have purchased this set if it had been clearly identified as reformatted. I think this information should be prominently displayed at the top of the page as part of the title, for example "Route 66: Season 1, Vol. 2 (Reformatted)."
Rating:  - Route 66 series still timely
I am emjoying watching the old shows on Route 66. The odd bits of wisdom and the insights into people's behaviour are still timely after all these years.
Rating: - fakes beat the studios
Out of curiosity, I read the reviews of this set. Three years ago, I bought an import set of the entire series off of internet's favorite 'auction' site for a bit less than a hundred dollars. Now, I realize that I made a wise decision. Sad to think that people making these compilations have no clue as to what they are doing to classic media. Cutting the 4:3 into a letterbox to simulate widescreen for people with big screen tv's? And losing part of the picture? Are they crazy? Glad I have the 'old' set, monophonic soundtrack and all. Maybe it's got all the ticks and pops of old time TV, but that's what we're after, isn't it?
