Customer Reviews of Blondie Vol 1

Platinum has done the type of job which could be expected of them...poor.

First, the transfer was made, not with the original films, but with the syndicated television versions of later years. Thus, each movie starts with excerpts from the movie to follow, and then with the King Features Syndicate opening credit sequence.

The picture on these transfers are muted grays. Never do any of the blacks look black, or whites look white.

WORST OF ALL, concerning the video portion....Platinum has elected to place a company logo "bug" in the lower right hand corner...just the type of nonsense that one buys DVD's to avoid!!!!

The sound is equally poor...a steady stream of background noise appears throughout the movie, and the volume must be turned up to hear the dialogue.

All in all, this is a set to avoid, regardless of your feeling toward these movies.

Gotta love Blondie
I am so excited, watching all of these again!! I couldn't be happier -- I can't wait until the rest of them come out!

Blondie movies are goofy - but that's what you get from a movie with 23 sequels all based on a comic strip. The fun is corny, innocent, and good for a true heartwarming chuckle. It's a look at life 60 years ago when kids could play outside without fear of kidnapping or worse, and the greatest struggle facing a married couple was how to come up with $20 a month extra for new furniture.

If you're a fan of cuddling up with a bowl of popcorn and your kids for a good smile, this DVD is guaranteed to please (and so's volume 2!).

my two cents
I found the Platinum release of "Blondie - volume 1" to have a good picture and good sound, not perfection but completely watchable and enjoyable a real bargain for $5. This disc features 5 episodes running about 70 minutes each on a single side of one disc. The Episodes are:

EPISODE #1. "BLONDIE" The Boss sends Dagwood chasing after an important contract, but Blondie suspects he's chasing another woman.

EPISODE #2. "BLONDIE MEETS THE BOSS" Blondie takes over Dagwood's job. Dagwood rescues a woman whose boat overturns while on a fishing trip, but suspects something else when she sees a photo.

EPISODE #3. "BLONDIE TAKES A VACATION" Blondie schemes to save a friendly Hotel from bankruptcy.

EPISODE #4. "BLONDIE BRINGS UP BABY" When Baby Dumpling plays hooky from school Dagwood goes looking for him and gets arrested for kidnapping.

EPISODE #5. "BLONDIE ON A BUDGET" Dagwood plans a big surprise for Blondie; he asks ex-girlfriend (Rita Hayworth) to help pick out a fur coat for her.

I found the begining of each episode a bit confusing, as it shows a few snip-its as preview before starting each film, leaving me wondering if I had pushed the wrong button. Overall great fun.
