The DVDs (Alpha, Oldies, or Gotham) are said to be crap quality, and
the VHS quality (VCI two-tape) is much better. The VCI VHS looks and
sounds alright to me.
The cut down version (70 or so minutes, called Radio Ranch) is VHS
only, and comes with Round Up In Texas, and isn't as good looking as the
full VCI serial, but still good. The Alpha Round Up In Texas is good.
I haven't seen the Alpha DVDs, but trusted the bad reviews because I've
seen how bad Alpha can be with their rip-off High School Caesar DVD
which can't even be heard most of the time because of bad quality.

Never heard of it.
