Without having seen every episode in this collection (it could take some months), I can already recommend it as a source of some real historical TV gems.

As mentioned elsewhere, it's a treat to see The Cisco Kid episodes as they were originally filmed in color. And wait 'til you see my childhood favorite, The Roy Rogers Show. In one episode, a pre-Magnificent Seven Charles Bronson, billed as Charles Buchinsky, is seen as a boxer. In another, there is a young Denver Pyle, beardless and before he grew into the beloved, grizzled character actor we knew later. There are even some original commercials with Roy and Dale pushing sugar-laden sponsors such as Post Sugar Crisp, and recruiting some of their youngsters to somewhat awkwardly sing the Jello Instant Pudding song. It's worth noting that the quality of the Rogers shows on this disc is significantly better than some I've seen released by other companies.

Overall, the production values and print quality in this collection vary significantly. The upside is that some are better than you might expect, given their age. Besides, as Gabby Hayes might have put it, who in tarnation would expect digitally-restored perfection in this sort of collection, anyway?

Thanks to Mill Creek Entertainment for providing this paydirt. Now we can sit back and enjoy sifting through it for our personal treasures. Highly recommended.
