Advantages: Funny, clean humour that stands the test of time. Disadvantages: Absolutely none!
...a nice box with the Laurel & Hardy logo and a pic of the happy two on the top & sides.

Each disc spine has the part of a picture that makes up the duo's bowler hats when stacked together. The discs are numbered 1-21 with the last one having a title "A special tribute to the boys" along with other comedy shorts.

Advantages: It's got everything, absolutaly great! Disadvantages: Could have had more documentaries about them
