Great series. Watched it many years ago on TV. Bought this because I didn't remember it. Forgot the ending which was a little sad for me. But I loved the series.

Good! Everything works great! CleanAnd new.

Loved this show. Came as advertised.

I presume if people are looking at this, they are familiar with the series so I won't get into a review of the show itself, but will focus on a very brief review of the product.I had my concerns going into this because Mill Creek, though famed for giving us the option to get physical copies of rare shows, is not known for the care they put into their products. This one, however, shows that they did put some effort in. The blu ray remastering is pristine on this. What little grain there is, comes from the fact that it is an 1990s TV series. The picture, however, is sharp and clear, and the sound is great. Sadly, it has not been given a 5.1 surround sound treatment; it's the same stereo sound you remember, but it is crisp and clear. They also maintained the origianl 4:3 aspect ratio, which is a good thing. Masking to 16:9 could have been a disaster.If I have one complaint here, it's that this is a truly bare-bones release. There are zero commentary tracks, no documentaries, no interviews, no behind-the-scenes footage, no deleted scenes. That's disappointing, given how beloved the show is among its fan base. Still, it's a worthwhile purchase with a gorgeous transfer at a good price.

Perfect transaction.

We love this series. I won't bore you with a complete description of how Sam "leaps" from person to person, righting wrongs in their lives and changing history in the process - you can read about that in other reviews.I want to briefly mention a few things about the PAL format and viewing PAL discs. First, if you didn't realize it, some episodes contain copyrighted music which was dubbed over with generic songs in the American NTSC format release. The UK release (region 2, PAL format) has these songs intact due to more lenient copyright rules in the UK. Also, the PAL format has slightly better resolution than the NTSC format. Some players may actually play these PAL format discs and convert the signal to the American NTSC format. Also, many modern TV's will play a PAL signal even if the player is region free but doesn't convert the PAL to NTSC. Assuming those aren't an option for you, an easy way to view PAL is to use a computer (we have a home theater PC output to a projector) with a dedicated region 2 DVD drive. You must go into device manager and go to the "region" tab of the DVD drive. There, you can usually change the region code up to 4 or 5 times before it permanently sets the region code for the drive. One more important thing to note: The sound will be slightly sped up if the computer's graphic output is set to 60Hz refresh as most monitors and TVs are. Set the refresh to 50 Hz (25Hz works, too, assuming your monitor can output it), and the audio should now be at the proper speed. Most video cards and many monitors and TV's should be able to play a 50Hz video signal. It works for us, but our computer graphics and projector can output individual Hz from 20Hz up to 60Hz so we can watch movies at 24Hz or TV at 60Hz or PAL at 25Hz or 50Hz. Just be sure to check your video card specs and your monitor. Apparently, neither of my computer monitors can do 50Hz, but again, my projector (Benq w1070) can. As long as the region for the DVD drive is set to region 2, windows media center can play it. It will even present it at 60Hz for any monitor or TV. Just remember the sound will be sped up, almost like they are talking using helium, but if you can get your monitor and video card to put out a 50Hz signal, all will sound (and look) right.I hope these tips will help others to enjoy region 2 PAL discs. Good luck.
