4/5 A must have for collectors

Anyone who loves nostalgia will love this - today we can't get past commercials fast enough but these are fun to watch. Taken from the original non-cleaned up films.

1/5 DON'T BOTHER!

I was really looking forward to this but was tremendously disapponted in the film quality. Considering the subject matter I was ready to look over certain quality issues due to the commercials' age factors; however, I purchased a similiar item which contained several of the same commercials on it and the film quality was SO much better I couldn't believe it! This DVD has MANY parts which are so illegible or faded you literally cannot see the piture. I also purchased "1001 commercials" DVD set; the quality on "1001", which contains many of the commercials shown on "Don't touch that dial" was so far superior I know this is not age issues rather the poor quality of this DVD that makes it incredibly bad. This makes me angry--I feel ripped off by the crappy quality throughout this DVD. And this one had the guts to cost MORE than "1001"! I hope that my review can save someone else from wasting their money.
