Yes. There was some fan criticism of this, and I felt the same way. It was tacky to put this Mark/Connor thing in that episode. I was also annoyed at the time because the montage was so heavy on new people and the last montage focused on them, I think. ATWT 40 years does not = Zoe and Sarah.

I thought ART's last scene as Connor was standing in the Kasnoff living room. I don't remember now.

I love that she called them Black and Decker. That was one of the fan names for them.

Saturday yes...Sunday no......lol

I hear the episodes are good but fans are still pissed at the editing of the opening. The bad part is that they could have edited out the sponsor ad while leaving the opening in place...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mine has 5 days in travel...so I'll get it no later than Friday.

Last night on Amazon it was selling pretty well..hit it highest peak so far.

Mine went out on Monday of last week and came on Friday...I took slow shipping, which came media mail from NYC.

I have a blu-ray player in another room, but I had to deal with it trying to play it wide screen, throwing off the proportions. I tried first on my computer as I wanted to check to make sure I got one of each disk, while reading the web.

^^^^OMG yes. He raped Kim while they were married. He was always using underhanded methods to try and get the Chief of Staff position away from Bob. He practically drove David Stewart nuts when he dated Dee and nearly got him sent to jail when John faked his death. The meddlesome, prickly-cuddly guy who married Lucinda was a light years away from '70's bad ass John.

The treehouse boink was tasteless, in part because Connor was cheating on Cal with the new flavor of the day studmuffin....but the montage was beautiful. There's just no way to represent 40 years, period. And apparently, most of the first 20 years' worth of stuff just doesn't exist.

Mine came in today, and the episodes look FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. It's really amazing when all you're used to for old ATWT episodes is the VHS copies on YouTube. They all look very good.

I'm just skimming through them all right now to see if there are any major defects, but I haven't seen anything with an opening edited out yet (though, I've just gotten through one disc, so we shall see). They did edit out the sponsor plugs, which was pretty expected.

I really can't stress enough how beautiful the episodes look, though. And it's great to see so many long-time characters through the years. You get Nancy, Bob, Barbara, and Lisa in 1979, then you get them twenty years later.

Great post AMS.

I also received my copy in the mail today. I am in Christmas heaven! Seeing HBS Margo again...Lyla....Casey.....just EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

The episodes look great!! I first went to the disk that had Lily finding out Iva and Josh were her parents. Loved seeing the original spinning globe....

I can't wait for GL and hopefully more ATWT!!

I got a shipping confirmation e-mail on Thursday too, and I received the package today. (I live in RI, so it's not too far from NYC).

I've only watched a couple of episodes, but aside from the edited openings/closings, everything looks AMAZING. The quality is great, even on the older episodes.

11 of the episodes I've seen already, but there are 9 that I haven't seen before, so I'm super-excited to watch them now. As good as it is to watch old episodes on YouTube and whatnot, I'm really happy to be seeing these on my TV screen.

Well-worth the money. I hope that more people buy the DVD set so that we can get a 2nd set (there are so many more episodes that I can think of that I would love to watch again-- or for the first time.) smile.pngsmile.png

One complaint ...no closing credits on Lily finds out the truth about her mother. I am assuming the closing had a commericial tag?

Now watching the flush episode with Barbara and the boathouse explosion.

Seeing the Lily episode reminded me of how great a writer Douglas Marland was.....loved seeing Brian Bloom again as Dusty.....how Hogan and Goutman turned Dusty into a thug...what a crime!

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
