5 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of many national parks.......2007-01-04

I had borrowed these from the local public library and always wanted to buy a copy for myself. When my parents visited me here for the first time some months ago, I could not take them to a national park; so, I bought this set for them. They were amazed at the variety of parks (picked from all over the country), the details shown (e.g. all seasons in Grand Canyon N.P.) and the flora and fauna of the N.P. Now, they can pick which ones they want to visit and I'll take them there the next time they visit!

1 out of 5 stars Not much here.......2005-08-05

I bought this with the highest expectations. What a disappointment. The first two are fairly decent quality, but the next four are faded and blurry and hard to watch. They look like 40 year old reruns. I have been able to find digital dvd's and they are SO MUCH better. A joy to watch. However I don't see any information on whether a disc is just a copy of an old video or a digital one. Wilderness is a good company and the public television ones are usually very good.
