Wasn't prepared for how badly this set was done
As a fan who grew up watching Bobby's world on Saturday mornings, I ordered this set knowing fully well that this would be a series of episodes burned on DVD-R media. What I wasn't prepared for was just how poorly the set was made.
First up, as I said, I knew full well this would be a set of DVD-Rs, but I didn't expect nearly every disc to have circular scuffs as if there was a piece of debris on the burner that scratched nearly all the discs. There were maybe a total of 4 discs out of the set of 18 that weren't scuffed. On top of that, it looked like the person doing the burning was eating at the time and left a series of greasy fingerprints on a number of the discs. Fortunately, I haven't run into a disc with playback issues yet, but I'm only a few discs in.
That leads me to the second issue, the video/audio quality. There seems to be a huge range of quality from the handful of episodes I've seen from really poor, to acceptable. A good number of episodes look...
OK product.
For one, the sound quality could be a lot better, it looks like it was transferred from a youtube clip, meaning it's fuzzy and grainy, also completely understandable that season 7 only contains 3 episodes but make it clear that you are combining season 7 and 8. Bought this as a gift and it could have been a cleaner gift, i think. Product still good enough for personal viewing, and Bobby is still the best! :)
Decent quality... Not sure why all the hate for the set
Ok first off yes I bought the complete series, but i didn't buy it for 99.99 I waited until it went on sale and bought it for 31.99. Now on to quality both sound video and overall presentation of the set, overall the sound is good for the most part, but I did notice the opening theme music is sped up a bit, but no big deal. Also some episodes are louder than others but overall they are all pretty much equal. Now video quality is a little bit grainy and fuzzy, BUT REMEMBER IT IS AN OLDER 90's CARTOON ITS NOT GOING TO LOOK ALL THAT GOOD!!! Too many people expected it to be remastered or somehow better quality and give it bad reviews when back in the 90's it probably looked that way anyway, so please take that into consideration before writing a negative review and saying to quote one review I read "Stop making this set."
Presentation is meh at at best I thought it was going to have an outer box of some sort but nope all 7 seasons come in there on DVD case. Which...
