This review is for the entire series which I have season 1 and season 2 are okay picture is fairly sharp and clear especially the movie length pilot Magnificent Thief. Season 3 however look like it was transfer from a vhs tape, the picture looks washed out and the reds bleeds. A reviewer of the complete series note that Universal had a massive fire a few years back and large amount of their film was destroyed.

E1 should have skip all the silly trinkets and use the money to locate the best possible source to produce the dvds.

In return for his release from incarceration, Mundy...
