brings back memories of the old days.......2007-06-09

I have enjoyed this immensely along with my family, really brings back the old days when I was young watching with my parents. Great to watch especially when there isn't anything else on TV, over the Halloween holiday or anytime. They just don't make-um like they used to!

DVD delivered promptly.......2007-05-12

Thanks for the quick delivery. Also, the dvd was in exc. condition. no problems with it.

5 star stories(most of the time anyway), but 1 star transfers= 2 stars.......2007-05-09

In my quest for all things loved as a child, I was thrilled to find this set of episodes of one of my Sunday morning shows that I loved. At 5 in the morning on Sundays this show would run two episodes and then an hour of the Three Stooges would come on, so every Sunday at 5:00 a.m. I was plunged into the world of the supernatural for one hour and then given an hour of laughs before everyone got up and ready for Church. The stories were all "documented" as true(at least that is what they told us) and had the goose-bump factor well in place. Most were very good and all featured some well known faces( Charles Bronson, Robert Blake, even William Shatner) and the air of believeability about them.
The transfers are another matter, they never looked that great back then , but little if any care has been given to clean these up and the constant hum can be madding. I have ordered some of the other sets and hope they are better, but still I did enjoy the stories, but beware!

5 STARS FOR "ONE STEP BEYOND" - 2 STARS FOR THE DVD QUALITY.......2007-04-25

In my opinion:

The stories are just excellent, and John Newland insisted that they could not be "made up" - there had to be a thread of evidence somewhere. For that, the background music, and the stories, I give the Series 5 Stars.

However, the quality of these DVDs is shameful. In truth, I can live with the video quality (which varies and reaches a 3.5 Star level on some stories), but the soundtrack is deplorable. Specifically, there is a 60 Hz "Humming sound" in ALMOST EVERY story that drives me nuts. I have a top DVD player, and I tried everything; restricting the bandwidth of the audio; connecting various equalizers on the output; different external amps; tone controls;noise filtering software - nothing worked. Next I will try to remaster using notch filters, so I'll report back.

Possibly, for you, the hum will not be bothersome, but, for me, it ruins the stories. If we stop giving 5 Stars, maybe we can force SOME studio to clean up the Video and Audio.

On a 1 to 10 scale, this collection is rated: 9.1 (or is it 5.7?).......2007-04-24

ONE STEP BEYOND was the pioneer TV show in the supernatural genre. This half-hour ABC TV series (first broadcast on Jan 20th, 1959) was based on purportedly true stories. Occasionally an episode featured the person who actually experienced a paranormal event (The Peter Hurkas Story, for example). Pure fantasy, fiction and irony would later be employed to great success by Rod Serling's TWILIGHT ZONE. Because ONE STEP BEYOND dealt with more genuine (and therefore less "mind-boggling") subject matter, it was quickly surpassed in popularity by the Serling show. The series met a premature end in June of 1961, but not before 97 episodes had aired.

The MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT box set of VERY BEST OF ONE STEP BEYOND presents 50 episodes encompassing all three years of this program's network run. Twenty-four season two episodes, 14 season three and 12 from the first abbreviated year make up the collection.

Episode ratings were obtained from a TV show archive website. The numbers may be somewhat inflated, for based on five of these programs that have polling data at a much larger film resource site, the average rating is only 5.7 on a 1 to 10 scale. The TV show site's averaged-out score for all 50 programs in this package is: 9.1.

For $5.95............2005-01-19

You get what you pay for. Yes, the quality of these movies are TERRIBLE, but they are watchable and enjoyable if you like the movies or even are just looking for something to pass the time. To the complainers.... what do you expect for only $5.95??? Honestly... 3 movies on DVD for only $5.95? You can't expect them to be of any better quality. If you think that, well... you must not have realized that you never get what you pay for in this world. My suggestion would be to shell out a little more money if you're looking for the better quality. Because let's face it, you won't get it for $5.95.

Picture quality problem.......2003-04-01

I read quite a few reviews about people who complained that the picture quality was bad and somehow found that these guys must be movie buffs who want everything perfect with loads of extras. In this case it is just terrible, this is the worst DVD I have and just like the above reviewer, I have loads!

The Best of Charles Bronson.......2001-07-01

At first i thought how did they get 3 films on one disk but after watching this disk i thought someone had a video camera at the back of the cinema the quality of the picture struggles all the way though it is very jerky and the sound is not much better. The first film Chino is pretty good 6 out of 10 The second film Cold Sweat is a classic 8 out of 10 The third film Lola sees bronson in a romantic role total rubbish 1 out of 10 the main problem with all these films is the transfer to dvd it's the worst i have seen on DVD or VIDEO & i know what i'm talking about i have over 200+ DVD & 1500+ VIDEO you have been warned
