Customer Reviews of Sherlock Holmes TV Classics, Vol. 3

Sharp & Clear presentation.
This Volume 3 is a surprisingly sharp & clear presentation of the 1954-55 SHERLOCK HOLMES TV series, much better that the presentation on the Madacy 20 episode DVD set.<
>This is also an improvement on Alpha/Gotham's first two volumes, which were mixed from acceptable to passable. These seem to be direct Film to DVD transfers, the first two volumes look like 3/4 video tape was used as the master source.<
><
>HOWEVER, be aware that the first episode on this disc, "RELUCTANT CARPENTER" is mastered from a splicy print. The other three episodes are quite clean.<
><
>The program line-up:<
>RELUCTANT CARPENTER<
>PERFECT HUSBAND<
>ROYAL MURDER<
>SHY BALLERINA<
><
>Highly recommended over the Madacy release. I would choose these less-compressed 4 title DVDs over Madacy's crammed DVD set.

More episodes from the old TV series
This disk contains the following episodes from the 1954-1955 TV series:

Reluctant Carpenter
Perfect Husband
Royal Murder
Shy Ballerina

All of these episodes are contained in the 20-episode, 5-DVD set just released by Madacy (ASIN B0001Z3TS4). If you're a fan of this TV series, you might want to consider getting that set instead of this disk.

I personally like this TV series. Ronald Howard is more personable than most others who have played Sherlock Holmes - more human - but still quirky and particular. In this series, he seems to enjoy being smarter than the other characters, but he does it with more of a sense of humor, rather then being obnoxious about it. Like any TV series, some episodes are better than others, but I found them all enjoyable.
