    Very deserving of a mention are the two Dick Van Dyke show releases -- Seasons 1 & 2. Two incredibly classy DVD packages, befitting the show.

    Great year for DVD.

    Too many keepers to list but I shall mention the one biggest for me.

    The Kids Are Alright...great to have this one finally on DVD.
    And they did a great job on the transfer.

    D'oh! Forgot that one. One of the best of the "Classic Albums" documentaries, IMO.

    I wish I hadn't put The Concert for George on my Christmas list. Now I have to wait to see it ... I am really looking forward to it.

    I really enjoy the Rolling Stones "Four Flicks" DVD set. Maybe I feel hope watching 59 year olds rock out! They're still great and it looks like they are still having fun performing.:thumbsup:

    You like your extra unmatted nudity, don't you, you naughty boy.
    A great set, but it came out in the late fall of 2002, IIRC.

    Yup')...Since the Widescreen has it's problems...I opted for the Semi-FullTityScreen Version:laugh: The Widescreen T3 DVD is not to be show to a Full Frame enthusiast!

    The Monterey Box is on the Cusp!;):p
