Anyone else have a terribly botched Season 2?
Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster
Just picked up Season 2 today at Best Buy. Threw the first disc into my Xbox to play and at the start of Goliath (the Universal Logo scene, no less) it skipped and stuttered and then just stopped. I've never had an issue playing any DVDs on that system. So, I threw it into my computer. It worked better for a while (still skipping, but getting past it decently, still not as it should be). It got to the scene where KITT is helping Michael win at craps and it just stopped, the DVD drive was whirring something firece trying to get playback to resume. I finally just had to eject the disc.
I'll be taking it back to Best Buy tomorrow for an exchange. I just hope that it's a probelm with this set only and not a whole pressing that I'd get another defective set. Anyone else had this problem? I hope not!

Double sided discs? That happened to mine for season 1.
Less packaging and discs but more defective discs.

In my set, disc two was loose in the case. At first I didn't notice any damage, but later saw two marks on the top or B side surface. I watched two of the four eps on that side tonight and both played without problems.
I'm making a point of watching the other two soon, to be sure its OK. If it's OK, I probably won't return it, as it doesn't seem bad. Which is a different attitude for me - I'm usually never hesitant about exchanging discs with any apparent scratch, scuff or mark. But I get the feeling these two little lines are things that the laser won't see.
Otherwise my set seems OK. But I haven't watched Goliath yet. I'll give it a spin soon.

I have problems with some of my dvds and DVD players in my house... I have a few DVDs that will play in one DVD player but not in the other. Knight Rider season 1 disk one kept skipping and stopping during Knight of the Phoenix but its perfectly fine on all my other DVD players.
