Query: Dark Shadows DVD disappointments

As much as I like Dark Shadows (and I am a BIG fan), I am disappointed in the DVD releases. Having viewed the VHS video releases, I was eagerly awaiting the DVDs. Sadly, after watching two different sets of DVD release number one, I found bad discs in both. Player lock-up and picture skips spoil the fun. I can't recommend Dark Shadows DVD purchases based on the first release. Too many technology "glitches" are present. MPI could do much better, and loyal fans deserve more reliability for their repeat business.
