 - More please!!!!!This is how television should be, well-written shows for adults. From the first notes of this classic theme song to the last closing credit, these DVD's are a joy to watch. I am so glad they are releasing the series. I can hardly wait. Rating:  - Route 66 revisitedVery nostalgic and well-put together collection of episodes. However, some extras and better menu set-up would help. Rating: - It's about timeAs a long time fan of both The Road and the TV show, I have been waiting for the release of Route 66 episodes and I hope that more episodes are to be released in the future. The selection of stories for this DVD was based on the actors who were guest stars and provided an extra interest. Rating: - Excellent Video Transfer, some really great Episodes of the absolutely best show ever on American televisionI was first introduced to the show "Route 66" when it aired on Nick at Nite in the 1980's, and unfortunately I did not tape any of it. Years later Columbia House put out 20 episodes on 10 VHS tapes, which I DID manage to aquire. I was amazed at how well written the show was, how good the stories were, and the chemistry between all the actors including the guest stars, and there were so many that became household names later on. It quickly became one of my favorite shows to watch of all times. When I saw this DVD I had to get it, and I was not disappointed! The quality of the video transfer was excellent, the case seems to indicate it was from 35mm prints, and I would not doubt it. There are original commercials included with bumpers and previews for next week's show on some episodes as well. The back cover seems a bit sketchy though, it doesn't list the episodes and looks like a fourth grader designed it- don't get me wrong the video transfer quality is quite good and if you are a true fan you should not turn this DVD down! Finally the show is coming out as a full season set (Pt 1.) in October 2007 by the same company that put this disc together. Hopefully they will have better artwork and include all of the vintage commercials, promos, previews etc. In the meantime though, you will not be disappointed if you pick up this DVD - It has some great episodes on it, and an excellent video transfer! Rating: - Good but could be betterI was a bit disappointed that for the price of this set, that there was no information about which shows were on it, no booklet...etc...It was really well done as far as quality, but I really would have enjoyed being able to read a little something about each show. Also there is no way to contact whoever made this set to see if they will be making more shows available...my favorite episode ( The Thin White Line) where Todd is given LSD, was not on this set...I have tried ordering the entire series on DVD just to be told it is back ordered, or not available after paying over $100.00 for it, so this set is great to have....
