For the most part, the first two seasons are great. I had two main
problems with this collection:

The good and bad points of this series are irrelevant, look at it as people did then. I believe it can be vary entertaining, and enjoyable

Excellent historic 1950's American genre. The theme of "Fighting for ... Read More

The picture/sound quality are excellent. Although I have to say, the Lois Lane starting in Season 2 was much better than in Season one but still good. Most importantly back then, ... Read More
