These aren't very good

Although its nice to have a themed collection (New Year) this collection is not very good. The audio on many is rather poor, in the British comedy(?) it was so poor one cannot make out what the characters are actually saying most of the time. The Miss Brooks episode, well those were never terribly funny and this episode is just another one of them. This was on a scale of Very Poor/Unlistenable to "Excellent, I would have to rate it somewhere in the lower middle. In one of the episodes (I can't recall which but it could be the Miss Brooks one) one can recognize the tell-tale shifting about and shuffling of the person recording the show off of a tape or record.

I have no control on the technological quality of shows. Personally, I like them scratchy and fuzzy, like old phonograph albums. OTRR-quality recordings are fine for collectors with a lot of space on their computers but a lot of us just want something we can fit onto an mp3 player and listen to on the ride into work.
