Glad to have this DVD set. Some nitpicks: It was obviously not restored at all. In fact, some of the episodes have an abbreviated opening like the repeat showings on The Family Channel. The first episode has the regular theme song instead of the original song sung by a man in the original airing. The Legend Begins is the abbreviated four episode version instead of the expanded, TV movie version. I distinctly remember the show sporting a Dolby Surround logo when it aired, but all the episodes sport only a stereo soundtrack. All in all, I'm glad to have the whole series in one package, but saddened by the rushed feel to it.
The pilot episode was very interesting. Instead of being a re-telling of the story of Don Diego, the series was originally imagined as a continuation. Don Diego passes the mantle of Zorro to a man named (ironically) Antonio. It had a different feel, and would have been an interesting series in its own right....
I wish the extras had some interviews with the cast. But, having this whole series is a nice treat in itself....

Just got the series set today. It's better than I remember:).
Some eps do appear a little short; not the best restoration;
BUT,
wonderful to have it back again.
Now if we can ever have the complete Family Channel series of Bordertown, I'll be a happy fellow!!!!
