Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been looking forward to this release since it was announced, and have all the episodes on vhs. I purchased the set, got home and realized that Mr. Lucas has done it again. These are not the episodes as originally broadcast, but rather edited together into "movies" with the Old Indy bookends completely excised. They are not even present as extras. The episode "London 1916" suffers tremendously from its treatment on this dvd; Old Indy meeting his lost first love years later (played by Jane Wyatt - gone from this release) always brought a tear to my eye. It's also edited behind another episode of Indy having a romance in Ireland, thereby completely diminishing the impact of Indy's first romance. "Travels with Father" has also had its bookend removed, replaced with a deleted scene which provides us a perfect example of why some scenes are better left deleted. Instead of purchasing the next two sets, I think I'll save my money and purchase a vhs/dvd recorder. That way, at least I can have the original episodes on dvd. If you don't care about this aspect of the release, knock yourself out. As for me, I feel completely ripped off.
