Beware Bootleg Season 3 & 4 Boxset


There is an online seller (who seems to regularly change its identity), linked to Amazon.com, offering both seasons on eight discs as a "boxed set". You can always tell this seller by the fake link to reviews of the boxset that appear on the page with this item. Unfortunately, these are bootleg copies recorded off the Hallmark Channel. The discs are generally low quality, but usually acceptable, DVD-Rs.

The Hallmark Channel logo is always visible and there are promos for other programming played over the end credits (which is too bad as I have always enjoyed listening to the outstanding theme music by W.G. Snuffy Walden). Also occasionally there are snippets of the Hallmark logo that were not completely edited out from the preceding commercial break as well as spots where the program content "freezes" momentarily, although the audio is generally unaffected.

Until CBS sees fit to release these themselves as a manufactured on demand disc (as Warner Archive did with the TV series, Alice), I guess this outfit will continue to prosper from fans like me who want "the rest of the story."
