An excellent series that still holds up very well, nearly 30 years later. The episodes are intelligently written, without pandering to children and still enjoyable for adults with fond memories of the series as well as newcomers. The transfers are good, likely the same as the previous DVD releases, but it would be nice to see an HD release, similar to what Rescue Rangers got. Hopefully the rest of the series is made available soon. In the meantime, Volume 1 is definitely worth picking up.
