I read reviews thoroughly and the packaging fits photos and reviews so I was prepared. Mine wasnt too beat up and all ok went thru them and made sure all there, have watched a few discs hoping they all work as well as the ones ive seen they look great to me sound fine too. (fyi ITS true no closed captions) They are one sided discs which is better for me and my player machine.I dont see any lip sync issue . Im happy with them and Im pretty picky so. Id recc'd going thru them compare episode list and disc numbers when you get them since some reviews state didnt rcve all discs. Mine appear to be here. I recc'd, great price for full series show, a show that would be unheard of these days as far as pg rating or g to some, with good acting and cast :) Mine came from washington blvd sales (merchant name) and were fine shipped on time too. We're more then halfway thru' and all great, what a great buy!
