I bought the new release of season one out of curiosity and because it was only $6 at the store I was at. The episodes I sampled looked basically the same as the original Sony release (same scratch line during the pilot), with the same syndicated opening credits. They also crammed all of the episodes onto three discs instead of four, so I'm sure there are some quality issues. Still, it's great that it can be had for so cheap and so easily... I can't believe that ten years ago it seemed like the show would never be released on DVD.
