I disagree with the guy who thinks the more expensive the DVD player the better job it will do. And sorry fella, but some of the players $100 or less will play discs just as good. The more expensive DVD players actually have so many added features that they sometimes will actually cause more disc problems. I own 7 DVD players....two cost of $700.00 and I can say as one with experience that my less expensive machines have less problems with playback. People think just because it costs more money it means it is better. It may have better sound output or provide HDV quality. But as for bad discs like that offered in RIVERBOAT no machine is going to play them properly. I agree...these are poorly recorded. Frankly it looks like someone who has copied them from VHS and were not professionally produced. They were not digitally enhanced in any way. They really look like copies of copies.

I had the same experience as the previous reviewers. The episodes skip, pixelate and the audio keeps dropping out. It has nothing to do with the DVD player (I have a modern, expensive, state-of-the-art one), this set was just poorly mastered. I was very disappointed considering I bought it for my father who loved this show when it first aired.

I disagree with all these previous reviews. I have the Riverboat TV set and it is quite good quality. No skips, jumps or any of the other problems that the other reviews say they are having. However I'm using a good quality high end DVD player not a $100.00 low end players like most people purchase. People are having these problems while trying to play North American discs on modified Region 2 players and while trying to rip the original DVDs. I have now watched this set on 4 different Sony players, 2 Pioneer, 1 Yamaha and a Panasonic DVD unit and all the discs in the set play fine without any problems.

It's great to see all these titles being released by Timeless Media Group, but - if they are all as badly mastered as this set - they needn't have bothered.
I agree the previous comments - skips, pixilations - particularly on Disc Two. Timeless need to get their act together quickly - I would have thought a recall of all dodgy discs a necessary first step.

I agree with Peter Williams. It was great to finally see some episodes of this long-forgotten series come out on DVD. BUT...the quality is apalling!! Discs 2 and 3 are full of pixelation problems...and the episode THE BLOWUP (on disc 2) jams...then jumps 6 minutes ahead. The result...a 48 minute episode plays for about 42 minutes...missing a few vital scenes in the middle of the episode. More care in mastering (or manufacturing) is required from Timeless Media before I'll be buying any more of their DVDs.
