Barbara F 01/28/2024 This is SOOOOOOOOO much better a show than the newest version of the series! This early series deals with the animals, their (sometimes) whacky owners as well as the vets and is far more interesting than the 2020+ production . I wish the original series would be re-mastered to improve the quality of the images, but it is still more intriguing than the new 'soap opera' version which portrays the saccharine and predictable lives of the vets.
