It does appear it finally made the third release date set for it so it won't be delayed anymore. Now watch me get the box, all the cases and all 17 discs with nothing on any of the discs

I just wanted to update people in this thread too it appears to have finally made a release date and should arrive this coming week for those of us that ordered it from Amazon!

Please post pics when you get this! I'd love to see them!

bh7812, did you ever receive your set?

I saw that someone posted a couple pics of the set on amazon and it's not even in 6 individual cases, it's only 2. Who knows at this point what this set holds!?

Amazon now says this will be 'in stock' on April 12.

Well, it's past April 12 now. This set is crazy! Two sets instead of six? Sounds like something CBS/Paramount usually does with their complete series releases!

Can anyone who has the set post a mini review about? Are episodes uncut? What is the audio and picture quality like? Thank you all.

I have now watched all of season one and I am watching it in production order as the episode that introduced Little Ray aired after an episode that he starred in. Picture quality for season one is quite decent for a show recorded on video tape.

I had a quick look at disk one of season two last night and the quality of that is poor. Looks like there is a ghosting issue on all episodes on that disk. It is like watching something not tunned in properly and when I checked a random episode of disk three of season three, that appeared fine.

Below is a youtube link to a season one episode of a scene cut from the dvds.

B02 - Get A Job - Lisa singing in this scene was but from the dvds as well.

Although the above episode suffered from the ghosting effect the previous episode on the disk, B01 Hair Today did not. Also, the CBS logo at the end of B02 - Get A Job - was pin sharp in contrast to the ghosting of the episode itself.

I have now watched the first two seasons. A couple of observations; the comedy is often slightly forced. It is more Married...with Children than The Cosby Show. Also, considering the show was about two teenage girls there was quite a lot of sexual references.

Two questions - the exteriour of the house the girls lived in, were those establishing shots filmed especially for the show or lifted from a feature film or something? Same goes for the school as some of the establishing shots look very detailed.
