QUALITY ? - The Wonder Years - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Anyone have this set? I'm curious as to how many discs it is on and what the quality is. I have seen people posting it as 118 eps on 8 dvds - does this seem overly compressed to anyone else?

the 8 disc set is pure garbage, plain and simple

i had this one and in the bargain box it went

i also had a couple others that were 10 and i think 13 discs, also not very swift

i eventualy added a 17 disc set to my stash,

its a 9 of 10 quality

very nice

How can any show that has more than 15 episodes crammed on a disc be 9/10 quality????

The 7 disc set is not complete and has 1 entire episode with no sound.

So that brings up an interesting question. How many episodes on a
DVD is too many?

I've heard people say that they could stuff 6-7 episodes on a dvd
and it still end up great quality. And some have said 4 is pushing it.

Most of the retail DVD's I've seen at max put 4 hour long episodes
or 8 half an hour episodes on a DVD. Now with compression technology
I could see that this could be flummoxed a little bit though I wonder
just what people think is quality over quantity?

Is there a set in existance that has the opening and closing credits present for every episode?

Isn't that how the show airs on TV?

The 7 disc set that has been going around for years is incomplete as I have already stated. I highly doubt another 7 disc set different from the original one made has surfaced. There have been other higher disc count sets made that are complete. The quality on the 7 disc set varies but no way would I rate the whole set above a 7.0/10. A few episodes are almost unwatchable.

Here are the missing episodes that I know of for sure, could be more but these are not on the 7 disc set.

episode #69 the wonder years
episode #104 new years
episode #108 hulk around

Here is the episode that has NO sound.

episode #38 the tree house

Episodes 111 and 112 are horrible quality.

If someone has the 7 disc set you can verify this for yourself.

Some of the episodes are not too bad to look at but all look very compressed as you would expect.

As Loren has already stated the 17 disc set is better quality but even on that set some of those episodes were lifted directly from the 7 disc set.
