Great show, horrible quality DVD

"Pros:
- Awesome show. Brings back a lot of great memories.
- Unlike the Disney release, these episodes are complete and not shortened to fit on the DVD.
Cons:
- The WORST quality DVD I have ever seen. Each disc and each episode has this bizarre grainy, distorted, image. It isn't unwatchable if you're a hardcore fan--I'll probably even buy more seasons despite this defect. Also it doesn't matter what kind of a TV or DVD player you have. My tube with cheap DVD player was just as crappy a picture as my HDTV with a progressive scan player.
- While the story is intact and not edited down, the introduction and theme music has been cut from each episode. Boo!"
Picture quality now good

"The season one version I have has excellent picture quality, and comes with some production features. I think the newer releases have the technical problems solved. The show is excellent and deserves to be seen by all."
Great story, terrible quality !

"Sullivan entertainment should be ashamed for delivering these series on DVD in this Quality. I bought this for my wife, she loves Anne of Greengables and she looked forward to see this serie on DVD. But a 100 times rented out VHS-tape is better quality than this. You can litterely see the pixels on TV !!Come on Sullivan this could be digitally restored..."
Like the other guy said; "Great story, terrible quality !, "

"The first DVD in this set was very clear, but the rest are of extremely poor quality. You can literally see each pixel on the screen, and after a while of squinting to see you start to get a headache. If you love Road to Avonlea, then these are the DVD's for you, just proceed with caution!"
