I could handle downloadable product for the holes in my collection. However, if I buy it I want to keep it. What Mr. Toad said! I'll go further: I'd pay to download a DVD disk image onto my computer, if I were allowed to transfer it (once is fine) to an actual, physical DVD for repeated viewing. Bu...

I thought about the possibility of making DVDs available for download... but a typical DVD is about 5 GB (all right, 4.7 for single-sided), and the first Spin and Marty serial comprised two disks. Even with my cable modem, that would probably take all night. Oh, for a quantum leap in downloading spe...

Aside from the addition of various interviews and such, I didn't notice any particular "restoration" between the Spin and Marty DVD and the Spin and Marty broadcast on Vault Disney. Can you give some examples? For a contrary example from another release, the Zorro DVDs were recolorized fro...

Yeah, I'm coming late to this party; but I absolutely love the Spin and Marty series... all 2.4 of them that I've seen (more about that below). It's based on Marty Markham , a 1942 novel by Lawrence Edward Watkin, which I've also read; and the translation to live-action series is excellent. (Off-top...
