This is a poorly remastered dvd for the money. Could be of better quality. Also, why isn't this dvd "closed captioned" or "subtitled" in compliance with the ADA law (Americans with Disabilities Act)? Just ridiculous. SG

Sorry friends and readers, I know it's a bit shopworn but I couldn't resist the title. I assure you, however, that this TV series remains far from stale.
Inspired by the wanderlust of Kerouac and mainstream America's discovery of the beat subculture, ROUTE 66 ran from 1960 to 1964 and was television's first road trip drama. Similar to David Janssen's THE FUGITIVE, each episode would have the all-American Tod Stiles (Martin Milner) and his hipster companion Buz Murdock (George Maharis; replaced in mid-1963 by Glenn Corbett as the haunted army vet Lincoln Case) traveling Route 66 in their blue Corvette, getting involved with the lives and problems of the people they'd encounter on the road.
Although some of today's viewers might find Buz's "hip lingo" to be over-the-top, one should understand that he is a beatnik and he talks like a beatnik. Throughout ROUTE 66's four year run, Stirling Silliphant (VILLAGE Of The DAMNED, IN The HEAT Of The NIGHT, TOWERING INFERNO, POSEIDON ADVENTURE, DIRTY HARRY) was the main scriptwriter, earning the series its well-deserved reputation for quality writing. Nelson Riddle did the show's opening theme, which became a Top 30 hit.
Included in this 4-disc collection is the first half of the first season, containing 15 episodes (guest starring Walter Matthau, Darren McGavin, Lee Marvin, Leslie Nielsen and Jack Warden, among others), along with extras featuring original commercials and the featurette "History of the Corvette." The rest of the first season can be found on the recently released Season 1: Volume 2.

This is my first time watching this series. I am a big corvette enthusiast and enjoy nostalgic television. I am noticing by reading other reviews that my fellow critics are enjoying a stroll down memory lane. As for me I don't find the storylines very interesting. Two guys are just aimlessly driving across the country (and not always on route 66) and seem to stick their nose into everybody's business. They would get into alot less fights if they just minded their own business. I just don't get the motivation. They come upon a town, look for work because they are running low on cash and the next thing you know they are coming to the rescue of someone else's misery or misfortune. The first few episodes weren't too bad, but I am half way through volume I and it seems to be going downhill. The theme music is quite bland. According to a review I just read the writer says that Nelson Riddle contributed a new musical score every week. Not according to my viewing. Midway throught this volume there have not been many famous guest appearances. It could get better. So far it has been disappointment.
