In my younger years I watch this serie on tv. And finaly I found it on dvd. It was really worth it. I live in the Netherlands, so it's not easy to get any serie on dvd. But with this site, it a lot easyer.
The quality is very good of the dvd, and the sound also.
It was just GREAT!! May 17, 2007

My family and I just finished watching this series and we were not disappointd in the least, IT WAS JUST GREAT!! I grew up watching Richard Thomas when I was a teenager. He did a fantastic father role and ALL the other characters were just as great!! It was a great cast, a great story line, complete drama from the very first to the very last minute. I have never had a story keep me on my toes so completely for the entire story. What an achievement!! The photography and the scenery were just fantastic . . . made you want to walk through the TV and join them. The actors/actresses were just perfect in their roles as they unfolded, and became a family, which seemed to really happen before our eyes!! I can't say enough good about it . . . and my family from 10-21 boys and girls were just as HAPPY as I!!! Wish there was a sequel to it 10 years later!! Great family entertainment with great family values and enough mystery and intrigue to go along to make it just right. The best thing there is in TELEVISION!! Richard, you didn't disappoint at all. I expected much from you and you did just that. Thanks for making this series. Please do some more!!!

Good serialized storyline. Excellent footage combining studio and locations. Good cast.
The only thing they could have improved was condensing the packaging. Six large DVD cases takes up too much shelf space for bulk collectors like myself. Other serieses have been released single cases with folding DVD holders a fraction of the size.
But buy it anyway. The later episodes will keep you glued to the TV, and the earlier ones will set the mood for that.
