Corrected Blu-ray set UPC 841887027380 is amazing!
I got my hands on a copy of the corrected set [UPC: 841887027380 / ASIN: B0189I11EI]. At the bottom of the set on the shrink wrap is a sticker with the new UPC. If the sticker is removed, the old UPC is underneath on the box and there likely will be no way to differentiate between the bad set and the new corrected version. **WARNING** Please make sure you are purchasing [UPC: 841887027380 / ASIN: B0189I11EI] some large Amazon Sellers have the flawed version linked to the review section for the fixed set. I selected Blu-ray Disc #4, at random, and sampled as well as compared to the older DVD versions. It looks really nice and everything that was advertised. Picture is noticeably better than the original DVD and 20 Anniversary [150th] set, but then again so too should any property transferred and mastered Blu-ray over it's DVD doppelganger. Grain structure thankfully was left intact and as a result the detail on many of the photo's and other footage is striking. You can freeze frame and actually read many of the presented documents. Please note I've only looked at the fixed Disc 4 thus far.. Kudos to PBS for correcting the set, but sad to think many not in the know will be receiving the bad Oct 2015 version this XMAS and they'll never realize how great what is possibly the best all-time hours of TV programming can really look. One major beef; this is an expensive home video set, peppering it with GM, BOA commercials etc wreaks of an insulting cheesy cash grab. Over the air fine, but when purchasing the home video edition I feel it is a morally bankrupt action. Regardless of the "reasons" shame on you PBS and Ken Burns you no longer have the 'right' to take the moral high ground.
