Don't waste your money...

"You actually see more of the little red car (a Ford...did Ford sponsor the original tv broadcast, I wonder?) than you do anything that I'd call "scenery"...lots of parades and roadside trashy touristy stuff - and the film crew has an inexplicable fascination with traffic lights in the downtown areas of small towns...I have no idea what that's about, but very little it the way of scenery. For instance, if the sequence in disk 1 about Mount Desert Island in Maine was all you had to go on, you wouldn't think the place was worth visiting, much less one of the most beautiful places in the entire country which it is. You'd have a really good idea of what that stupid red car looked like though!
I'm shocked that Reader's Digest let its name be attached to something this cheesy...stay away!"
The pictures are not very clear.

"The concept is good, the sceneries are also beautiful. The only problem is that the cameras are not good. Even though they are on DVD, the picture quality is low, it has that old grainy 70's movies lookalike. With the music and the narrator's voice, i wonder when they actually filmed this? Did they just recycle some old material from the 70's?
Also they tried to avoid people as much as possible, so they rarely see tourists, etc, most of the time, you see those places without the people."
