DVD Reviews of Reader's Digest - America's Most Scenic Drives (4 Discs)
DVD Review: don't waste your money...
Summary: 1 Stars
You actually see more of the little red car (a Ford...did Ford sponsor the original tv broadcast, I wonder?) than you do anything that I'd call "scenery"...lots of parades and roadside trashy touristy stuff - and the film crew has an inexplicable fascination with traffic lights in the downtown areas of small towns...I have no idea what that's about, but very little it the way of scenery. For instance, if the sequence in disk 1 about Mount Desert Island in Maine was all you had to go on, you wouldn't think the place was worth visiting, much less one of the most beautiful places in the entire country which it is. You'd have a really good idea of what that stupid red car looked like though!
I'm shocked that Reader's Digest let its name be attached to something this cheesy...stay away!
DVD Review: The pictures are not very clear.
Summary: 4 Stars
The concept is good, the sceneries are also beautiful. The only problem is that the cameras are not good. Even though they are on DVD, the picture quality is low, it has that old grainy 70's movies lookalike. With the music and the narrator's voice, i wonder when they actually filmed this? Did they just recycle some old material from the 70's?
Also they tried to avoid people as much as possible, so they rarely see tourists, etc, most of the time, you see those places without the people.
DVD Review: A 1940s Travelogue
Summary: 1 Stars
What a waste of money! It looks as if was done in the 40s. It sounds like it was done in the 40s. Amazon should take it off the market. I bought it for some friends from Europe who were planning a trip here, needless to say I didn't send it.DVD Review: scenic drives in the U.S.
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Road Trips without the high cost of gasoline! Watch in the comfort of your home. J.PantaleoDVD Review: Beautiful Vistas
Summary: 5 Stars
This collection has some of the most beautiful views and also some of the most breathtaking views I have seen. Hat's off to Reader's Digest for a well documented production.

Motor to charming Nantucket and then continue on to Cape Cod in its entire summer splendor. Admire the brilliant red and orange leaves common to autumn-kissed New England. Stop and appreciate the dramatic motion of the mighty Niagara Falls. Step into a simpler life in Pennsylvania's Amish Country, and then continue south through the Shenandoah Valley, admiring the lush landscapes and diverse wildlife. Embrace the local charm of Chincoteague Island, and the vast beauty of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains. Heading further south, slow down for some time in Savannah, Georgia's quaint cityscapes. Finish your road trip at the sunny beaches and blue lapping waves in the Florida Keys, the perfect destination for any drive. Disc 2: From Texas to Yellowstone Journey through the ever-changing, beautiful American Heartland, crossing the romantic Bridges of Madison County in Iowa. Travel across a landscape of lush green Missouri hills through the Ozark Mountains. Glide through Montana's Big Sky Country, and stream past Texas' languid and storied Rio Grande.
