Hi ya

1. The quality is outstanding, excellent, WB did a great job on them.
2. Yes, they are full length, they all run about 25-26 minutes. You will see some scenes you never saw on TV Land
3. First season has the original pilot that was lost for almost 30 years and commentary from Sherwood Schwartz on it. He does commentary on one episode each on the second and third season too. There is also a "Season Opener" that explains the new seasons for season 2 and three. Russell Johnson apears in those along side Sherwood Schwartz.

Double sided disks just means that instead of having a picture on the front of the disk it is just more episodes. As in you flip the disk over and play it on its top.

They are well worth the money.

I wish I had written these, but I didn't. These are the reviews Sitcoms Online did for the sets

I just wanted to bump this up to say something: the original pilot was shown by TBS once back about 91 or something.
