On the Road with Charles Kuralt - Set 3

SET 3 review: Kuralt spent 20 years perfecting what he did. He is just like you and me, and presents interesting stories about people like us. Stories of the back roads, roads less traveled. Nothing earth shattering, just fun, interesting, and out of the ordinary for common folk. It's down-home fun viewing. It is timeless, a piece of American history as inviting as any history book--MORE SO. This third set is simply more of the magic that this man created and aired for 2 decades (late 60s to early 80s). Good for all ages. Set 3 comes with SUBTITLES.

14 EPISODES, that's 57 stories for SET 3. Almost 5 hours worth of delight. Highly recommended, as is Set one and two. All educational as well as entertaining. History on film.

Thanks to 'Doc' for his review above which contains all the particulars for volume 3 of 'On The Road'.

I have reviewed the other 2 volumes and don't have much new to say, I guess, but I can not resist any opportunity to encourage others to watch Charles Kuralt. The one new thing I would say is that unlike most dvd sets, volume 3 is going to be just as good as the other volumes. The weak material has not been saved for last because the stories of America were endless as was Kuralts' knack for telling them. The quality on these volumes is interchangable.

Every generation ought to have a Charles Kuralt. While others record the dates and events of history and embed their opinions and politics in those histories, there should be someone just taking the everyday pictures of actual life. These stories make the dates and events seem much more significant. These are stories of America you can shake hands with and every generation ought to have a Kuralt to tell them.

I have always been a Charles Kuralt fan. Loved the first two dvds but almost
seems like they have used up the best ones. Still great but not a good as
1 & 2. I have the shows on VHS tapes and some of the ones I had looked forward
to having on dvd have not shown up
The other thing, I wish the producers would do is to eliminite the long intro
between segments. Very boring and repetative. Should just have the intro at the
beginning of each disc.
