I got this in the mail yesterday. It contains six episodes each of O&H, Love That Bob and the Jack Benny Program.
The O&H episodes are
The Rivals
The Pills
Separate Rooms
Valentine Show
David's 17th Birthday
Bird's Nest
What I find most interesting is that the voice over for the opening credits (where they introduce the family/cast) is not the original voice, but one probably recorded for this set. They used the same voice over for all six episodes which presents some funny juxtapositions. The voice over states that this show is brought to you by Hotpoint...even on the one episode where it is showing an add for Listerine. Also, when they mention Ricky "the little guy with the twinkle in his eye" they show a shot of Ricky where he is scowling and looking perturbed.
The quality overall is acceptable - not great and certainly shows no signs of digital remastering which the front cover states. It is still nice to see several episodes that I have never seen before.
