An excellent series that still holds up very well, nearly 30 years later. The HD transfers available here look very good, though (as of this writing) there does not seem to be an HD version of Volume 2 available. The episodes are intelligently written, without pandering to children and still enjoyable for adults with fond memories of the series as well as newcomers. Definitely worth picking up.
