I received four serials from VCI today, and did a quick check. THE LOST CITY I agree with rating. On one disc. THE OREGON TRAIL 7.5 two discs OVERLAND MAIL It is on two discs RIDERS OF DEATH VALLEY Would give it an 8, but half point off for logo still appearing every two minutes. Two discs. CAPTAIN VIDEO used to have same problem, but they eliminated the logos, so why does RIDERS still have them? |

Yeah, I thought I'd read that VCi re-released both serials, sans logo intrusion. I would contact VCI about getting a replacement copy. |

That might work. Of course it is Gravy that has pull with these folks, so you might want to go in that direction if things don't work out (but I'm pretty sure they will). |

Good idea, Panzer. Gravy, you know the people at VCI, any chance of finding out if they ever re=did RIDERS OF DEATH VALLEY without the logo? It shows up every two minutes. Sheesh. |

Pa, My copy of VCI's Riders of Death Valley doesn't have the logo intrusion. I can't remember exactly when I purchased it, but it's been a while. Barcroft |

I've added a rating to THE SPIDER RETURNS. I've just finished the Restored Serials release and found it exceptional for picture and sound quality. I gave it a solid 8/10, but 8.5 wouldn't be unreasonable. If someone feels there is a superior release for this serial, please let me know. |

I didn't know Restored Serials offered this. It's not on their website... |

You're right. I had it on my list as coming from Restored Serials for some reason, but obviously it is not. Unfortunately, I don't recall where I got it from, I've had it for a few years. My only other guess would be Rodney, when he had his site. I'll make the change to the list, thanks. |

Restored Serials used to offer it. I have one from them. Now, I don't know if that's where yours comes from, but I've got one sitting on the shelf for sure. Edited by rodney, May 13 2015, 07:06 AM.

Dammit, gotta edit the list, again. Thanks, Rodney, mine is definitely Restored Serials, too. |

How's that Frank Merriwell that VCI released a few months ago? Anybody checked that one out yet? |

Only one chapter in, but I'd say that Jack Armstrong is a solid 8-8.5. Maybe my standards are lower. |

I agree, Rodney. A solid 8.5, VCI did a nice job with this one. |
