Summary: Defective DVD
Review: Conternt very good but my DVD has a defect. It either freezes in the Amarillo, Texas section or skips it entirely depending on the DVD player. On those players that skip the section it may go unnoticed and written off as a bad edit. Repeated e-mails to the publisher go unanswered. Before I ask for a replacement I want to know if the defect is on my batch or is it on the master.

Summary: "True Grit"
Review: I express and share the same enthusiasm as many of your other reviewers with regard to "Original TV Series", demand. While this was a good nostalgic effort in its own right, I encourage the studios to release the original TV series on DVD, as soon as possible. The original series was a superb example of the fine writing and terrific acting in programming during this period. There is a huge untapped market for the "fine scripted" tv series programs of our generation. My "wish list" would also include other fine series such as, "Adventures in Paradise", "The Untouchables", and "The Fugitive".

Summary: This is the trip all right
Review: No mistake, this DVD is about Route 66 the "Mother Road" and really not at all about the great TV show. But, if you want a wonderfully produced, nostalgic and thoughtful trip down US Route 66 from Chicago to LA this is the ticket. Much more history and witness interviews and reminiscences than I thought would be captured. Its a pretty long video.. 2.5 hours! But, if actually travelling (vicarously?) the road in a C1 Corvette with a fun and entertaining movie star is what you want, I say again, this is right on the spot.'The music is mostly newly recorded versions and variations of the TV's show great "Theme from Route 66" and with Martin Milner and a 'Vette identical to that from the show, you might consider this a new, feature length installment of the show. In a nutshell, this episode is primarily about the road and the car and a long magnificent drive through our country... instead of those things mostly being in the background on the TV show. And, if you are at all considering to do a nostalgic Route 66 trip this DVD is a must have resource for planning the sights and people you might want to visit along the way. I loved the TV series too and I have a few of the episodes on VHS. But, even more, I love the actual road and the 3 trips I've made on it from Chicago to LA. Yes, get your kicks. My DVD worked flawlessly start to finish. I bought it new from Amazon in Aug '03.

Summary: Route 66
Review: This is a pretty good DVD but.. When is the studio going to make a DVD of the original Route 66 TV shows. It was a great program and always done "on location". If they can maek a season of "sopranos and Sex in the City why not record the original Route 66 shows. I am sure a lot of us baby boomers that watched the original will buy the DVDs.
