So, first, the packaging is CHEAP. There are three discs, and they are all stacked in one slot, on top of each other, which allows for easy scratching. But, again, this is an economical price so shouldn't be too surprised.

I watched the "Break-Up Part 1". Picture is clear, and the episode has a runtime of about 25 minutes (including opening and closing credits) so it doesn't appear these are syndication copies but the original unedited episode. However, it seems the audience reactions are a bit loud, maybe that was the original way it aired, but you can even hear people talking in the audience in some parts. Never noticed that before.

The episode does have a clear look to it, almost live, so the picture quality is good and I am glad. I bought a couple of the seasons of AITF on DVD and I thought they used some bad prints, but I guess it was just aging videotape.

If I see flaws in any of the other episodes, I will post.

I bought this three weeks ago and I am up to episode 9 on Season 1. So far I am pleased with it. I also have the 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 Good Times from Mill Creek as well and they have been good too.

They also did this with I dream Of Jeannie season 2 and Just shoot me season 1&2. I may put them in a clear case I have to protect the dvds.

I was trying to compare the Sony releases to the Shout release….for some reason disk 1 of the Sony release would not play anymore..so I compared an episode A rich mans disease and noticed that the video and audio was actually better on the Sony release. The video looks brighter and crisper…I was wondering how the Mill Creek compared with the other two copies.

I purchased my copy at Walmart on Tuesday...I only paid $7.50 (plus tax), which is really not a bad price for the first two seasons. I might start watching it this weekend.

It's a shame we will never get to see the unedited version of the first episode
