Cheers' Review--Seasons 1-11

"Packaging and organization of each year's set of discs well done. Attractive, easy to use. Better than the Chinese Frasier set bought a year ago for half the price.
Production residue, or "dust," in new product requires cleaning of several discs before use. Real nuisance.
Segments on each disc require depressing manual "play" button to begin the next installment. Nuisance. Each disc should be formatted with a "play all" element, so the viewer only has to tend to the play button one time per disc.
Otherwise, the color, sound and viewing quality of the reproductions are good to very good.

Discs Defective!

"I bought this directly from Amazon -- not one of the Marketplace sellers. So presumably it was authentic. Season one played fine.
However, when I put in the disc for season 2 -- though the sound of the Paramount swish was quite audible --- there was ABSOLUTELY NO SOUND ON ANY OF THE EPISODES ON ANY OF THE DISCS IN SEASON 2.
When I opened the package I noticed the box was quite warn at the corners. This was obviously a return or used Season 2 because it was defective. And it wasn't the DVD itself -- it was the imprinting of the episodes.
I called Amazon immediately -- and they are sending out a whole new set -- exactly the kind of customer service I expect from Amazon -- but seriously -- what is the quality control here?
I've bought nearly a dozen series in the last several months, particularly if their sale price went way down. I wanted to build up a collection of my favorites. I only bought sets from Amazon directly (as I always do) because I don't trust 3 party martket place sellers here. I've been burned too many times.
I don't have time to listen to all the sets all the way through. I have a life! I expect better quality control than this.
Shame on Paramount for putting out such garbage or Amazon's buyer for purchasing used goods.
Makes me wary of buying any more DVDs -- Fortunately, there are not many more I want.
