Just finished watching the Grady episode with Esther, Bubba and Woody. And lets just see it was definitely the best episode of the series. Lots of physical comedy and unexpected moments. It's one unexpected moment in this episode that you will enjoy a lot and its totally unexpected and funny. Its also something disappointing about the episode but that may only be to me. It has nothing to do with the quality of the episode just something to do with the storyline. So I, not going to spoil anything.

One scary moment for me was the episode was skipping and freezing and then completely stopped. Then I put the DVD in another laptop and the episode ran all the way through without any problems

. I was definitely going to cry if that was the case on both laptops

My set is expected today so I'm excited. For a skipping disc trying cleaning the back just in case it's a little dirty. If you have a burner I'd also try copying it to another disc. I do that with all my sets that have playback issues.

I use a laptop not a DVD player and I think it may have been that particular set because that is the only time that I had that issue with skipping when watching a DVD from him. But luckily I had a backup laptop

Mine just came in the mail. I think the missing episode came from the same source that CTV Throwback uses. That particular episode ends with a Sony International logo while the rest end with the standard Sony logo used in the States.

Well after u watch it we can discuss it and I want to see if we both feels the same way about the appearance of the sanford and son crew

I'll probably watch it tomorrow after work. As always I review the seller's sets on the Mantronix site so I'll watch everything at some point as well. I just finished reviewing the last few sets I purchased.

I specifically like how the new Grady set has an actual menu with an image of Grady. The previous set had a generic image as if they didn't care about the product they were releasing. They also charged almost 40 bucks for just 9 episodes of the series.

That was the worst DVD release of all time

Did they have a sale of some kind? How did you guys get a free bonus set?

If you buy 2 DVD at the same time you get one for free

I have mixed feelings about episode 3. I was happy to see members of the cast of Sanford and Son on there but Grady's drinking had me worried. The bar scene was funny and awkward at the same time. Grady has always been kinda silly and crazy but that episode showed another side to him.

AngieTribeca · 08-18-2020, 10:53 PM

I also noticed that this was the first set I've gotten from the store truly presented in HD. There are black bars on the sides that haven't been present in other sets. Not a big deal but I tend to avoid most networks these days because I prefer my classics in full screen. Still an amazing set

GrandGame1440 · 08-18-2020, 10:55 PM

Angie, where did you find your Hogan Family set btw? I sent you a PM about it.
