Weird for the total package is the 8-volume set of Complete Perry Mason 
programs, which are lifted from legitimate restorations, off-air recordings 
originally on VHS, and one disc that actually plays SCRUBS instead of Perry. 
The stolen programs are fine but the off-air shows break for commercials which 
are partially included and then freeze at that point. Luckily they were $1 per 
box at a clearance depot.
