We've been talking about this on the inthebalcony.com message
boards.
Apparently, this is a bigger, more comprehensive reissue of earlier
sets available through Critic's Choice. All I can tell you is, the
quality is excellent, it's a 12-disc set that weighs more 'n a
horse,
and it contains 52 TV episodes and ten Hoppy movies. I've got a
review

I like to watch an episode of HOPALONG CASSIDY on Saturday afternoons,
when I have time. Today's episode included frequent Columbia serial
villain JAMES CRAVEN as the head nogoodnik. He got his from Hoppy in
the end, of course!
