I went out to buy Season 3 today, and I'll be damned! The discs were faulty! This is expected from small cheap companies like Shanachie, but not Warner Brothers!

Some handler baffoon from the store you bought it from probably dropped it before you picked it up. Return it.

I immediately thought of that, but I lost the receipt. When I was leaving the store, the wind took it.

Believe it or not, they did exchange it, but I'll be damned again, Disc 3 Side B still didn't work. I have a strange feeling they're all like that.

Hmm.. I'll have to check that side out. It better not be a screwup! :mad:

Munsters #1 if you read on the little lable on the inside of disc three it says that on the other side that it is blank. The box is wrong, but the documentary is just on side A instead of B. I fell for the same thing. I also could not find the tabs that has thing you need to send in for the rebate but its inside the box

the ep guide is one of the greatest Gilligan things I have ever seen. You did a great job on that and you picked the perfect picture to have. Thanks for doing such a great job. You always do such a great job with doing pictures.

Try Best Buy, TJMax or Target. They all have DVDs.

The qaulity is good. The only one grub I have is in the Totem Pole episode. In the scene where Ginger, Gilligan, and the Totem Pole are all in one shot, you can see somekind of brown/purple flickers at the top of the film.

Okay, yea, what GF said. I figured it out. :)

Boy, do I feel like an ass. I was so impatient for it to work, I thought it was faulty so I took it back to the store.

I wanted to watch the Bio first, so I read the DVD cover to find it, and it said it was on Disc 3 Side B. When I popped it in, it wouldn't respond. I didn't realise it was moved to Side A.

If you hold disc 3 up to a strong light, and you have clear vision, you can see a bump in the the outer edge of the disc. Which means it is double sided, just nothing on Side B.

LOL, don't feel like an ass, I'm sure tons of people were confused by this. :D

When it wouldn't work on side B, I thought there was something wrong with my DVD player-----so I tried side A and of course it worked fine. When I saw "special features" I selected it thinking it would say "look for special features on other discs" but whaddya know....there was the documentary.

How could they have made such an obvious mistake? LOL

Phew. That was a worry for awhile. I can't just go to the store and exchange it. I gotta mail it back to the States. And there's some more waiting.

Thanks!!!

I will know this now when I get Season 3. Side A of disk 3 has the bio and not side B.

WB needs to correct the box!
