Possible Fraudulent Business
I purchased the Who's the Boss 17 dvd collection which I received yesterday. I was alittle skeptical at first because the number attached to this site does not work but after 2 weeks I received my dvds. It looks like the shows were taped off the tv and put on dvd with no commercials. It is not bad quality and I get to view my favorite "whos the boss" shows anytime I want. Thank you classic dvdtv.com. I paid a great price and I am very happy.

Possible Fraudulent Business
I was very skeptical, but most of the DVD's work fine. Occasionally they get out of sync, but not to the extent that they are unwatchable. I do not agree with the claim that these are in the "Public domain" because the particular one I have was from the 80's and one season was officially released. Copyrights last a lot longer than that! This company appears to pirate the programs and distribute them for profit which could land them in big legal trouble if they are found. They do deliver what they claim to, however. You get what you pay for, and since the producers failed to release the entire series this is better than nothing.

Pirated DVDs
The classicdvdtv.com website says "We do not offer official releases." That is true. They recorded the shows off of TV and burned them onto DVDs at home.
They also claim "All of our titles are from public domain sources meaning that all copyrights have expired over time." and "*WE OFFER THE VERY BEST IN RARE, HARD TO FIND, AND OTHERWISE UNRELEASED CLASSIC TELEVISION SHOWS." This is not true. Some of the DVDs on classicdvdtv.com are of TV shows from the 80's and 90's and available for sale through Amazon.com and other sites. One of the shows was on the air in 2000 and the DVDs are available through Amazon.com as well as for rental from Netflix. They are not public domain. Recording them off TV and burning them onto DVDs does not make them public domain. It is pirated content.
They claim "This site is hosted by Yahoo! Store." and that might actually be true, however, classicdvdtv is not listed in the Yahoo! Store directory. If they are hosted by Yahoo! Store they are using another business name so that you can't complain to Yahoo! about them.
classicdvdtv.com does not provide customers with a physical address, only a phone number and an e-mail address. That certainly makes it more difficult to report them to law enforcement for selling bootleg DVDs.

Pirated DVD Scam
Recently received my Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere. Very happy, not perfect but not available anywhere else. I think these guys are performing a great service. BTW my two shows are not from tv like the last guy said. Maybe it depends on the show. Laura Evers
