I'm sort of a new fan of GA, and I was wondering what the first season DVD is like. Is it worth getting? Thanks.

JWood201 · 05-12-2004, 12:17 PM

I'm basically a new fan too, and it's already my favorite show.

I just got the DVD yesterday and I love it! The packaging is really nice - it comes with a booklet with episode descriptions and a picture for each ep. The video quality is awesome too - 200 times clearer than my TV Land reception. There's no extras, but I'll forgive them b/c the rest of it makes up for that.

Hope this helped.

Thanks. It did. I'm thinking about it.

Yes, well worth getting in my opinion...

It's also very reasonably priced...I can't wait for season 2...

I love this show!!

I just purchased it a few days ago and absolutely love it! I'm also awaiting season 2... any word on when it will be out?

Is the video quality alot better than TV Land? I just read a review on Amazon that said it was unspectacular.

That's basically why I haven't bought it yet. I'm not paying over 20 bucks just to get something the same quality that's played on TV...

BebeLilithFan154 · 06-05-2004, 12:49 PM

the quality is better, but it's not super clear. However, I think it's worth it!

algebra74 · 06-05-2004, 09:52 PM

Yes, I concur that the quality is suberb. But even if it weren't, you are still sure that you are getting 3-3:30 minutes longer on each episode that you never saw on TV LAND.

How is the navigation on the main page and the menus?

Some people claimed that they could not play the disks in some players. Others said that their disks would NOT play after episode #8. Does anyone know what's up with that?

I had no problems with mine, and I just bought them a little over a week ago. The only annoying thing is the fact that they have that stupid lion before EVERY episode. If you've heard one lion, you've heard them all!

algebra74 · 06-07-2004, 10:09 PM

the menus are set up great, and i had no trouble playing my episodes. Just be very careful when you are taking out and handling the discs. You would be suprised how sensitive the discs are: literally one fingerprint can cause an episode to freeze in the middle of a show. Also, if you haven't seen the episodes before, do not read the episode summaries listed on the menus and in the booklet; they are spoilers as they reveal the plot line every time.

I have the first season dvd and it's great.

dirtprod · 06-19-2004, 04:43 PM

The only thing I didn't like about the DVD is the two-sided disks. Other than that, I love it! Mr. Kimbal is priceless!

Dixie Darlin' · 07-02-2004, 03:40 PM

I haven't bought it yet, but I am so going to eventually! I read it came out in January of this year. Funny, January of this year was the tenth anniversary of Pat Buttram's death (aka Mr. Haney).

I am a little out of date with technology. How much do dvd players cost? Can they record too? Or just playback. What is the price of a recorded dvd. or a Blank dvd. Are vcrs really fading out.
