I'm hoping to have my review posted by the end of the weekend, but my early verdict is it's an impressive package. There is a lack of subtitles though, which hurts, as much dialogue is hard to understand.

To those who have a copy of this new DVD set, please check the title cards to see if any of them are NOT the originals. Someone at thelittlerascals.net said that several episodes are the Blackhawk Films prints.

Well that sure stinks they are using Blackhawk prints on a number of films!
I have all 4 laserdisc volumes which have the MGM opening titles and, with this new DVD set, it makes no sense they are using Blackhawk prints on a number of films.
I was going to buy this DVD set but since its clear they are not using the original prints that were used for the laserdisc sets, I will pass on it. And also, the picture quality on the laserdiscs are super! Even have the rare MGM 3 laserdisc box set and of which has super looking prints.

How can Genius Products get away with the "Remastered * Restored * Uncut" claim on the cover of the set if it's not true? False advertising in my opinion and Genius should be held accountable!

What RHI/Genius failed to do was use all the restored 35mm prints for the set.

I added a pretty obvious note to the top of my review indicating the issue. To me, it doesn't change my view of the set, as I had already taken the condition of the prints into consideration before knowing why they looked the way they did.
