Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers (1989) was the Disney Studio's second weekday afternoon syndicated-cartoon show. Like its predecessor, Ducktales (1987), the series began with a two-hour movie. Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers to the Rescue was recut into the first episodes, which are not included in this set. Chip and Dale were originally pantomime characters who bedeviled Donald Duck and Pluto in two dozen short cartoons. Rescue Rangers recasts them as adventurers who solve mysteries and right wrongs. In addition to a voice, Chip gets a leather jacket and Indiana Jones-style fedora; Dale talks and sports a Hawaiian shirt. They're joined in their escapades by Monterey Jack, a large mouse with a prognathous jaw and a bad Crocodile Dundee accent; Gadget Hackwrench, the inevitable spunky girl/mouse; and Zipper, a housefly.
The Rangers' adventures play like a mixture of Disney's The Rescuers and The Great Mouse Detective, with elements of Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? stirred in. Chip, Dale, and the other Rangers outwit criminal cats, mad scientists, and crooked mice. All of the far-fetched stories seem to feature the same slapstick chases, Rube Goldberg contraptions, and villains getting their rear ends chomped. Disney purists objected to turning the classic characters of Chip 'n' Dale into something they'd never been, but Gen-Y kids liked Rescue Rangers, which ran for 65 episodes. --Charles Solomon

This DVD set consists of the epidodes 1 - 21 from season 1 except for episode 16 "Normie's Science Project".
These are all presented in chronological order however it stops short of the complete first season...the last few episodes of season 1 missing from this set.
I am hoping there will be a volume two and it will pickup where this set leaves off.
The series is very enjoyable to watch today and it was when it first aired in the late 80's.
Video and Audio quality are very acceptable...a few bars better than the broadcast quality. There does not appear to have been any restoration work on this release but quality is very good in any case.
I am thankful Disney has decided to release this series as with other Disney afternoon shows like Ducktales. Hoping for the others (Talespin, Gummi Bears and Darkwing Duck) will be coming.
Recommend this set highly. Support these releases with a purchase and send Disney the message we want the rest!
So climb on board the Rangermobile and set off for a wild ride with CHIP N' DALE RESCUE RANGERS!

Unfortunately now that we know what episodes have been released on the Second Collection, it's now evident Disney UK have totally skipped the following 7 episodes, which should have been present on this set:
-Last Train To Cashville
-The Case of the Cola Cult
-Throw Mummy from the Train
-A Wolf in Cheap Clothing
-Prehysterical Pet
-Robocat
-Does Pavlov Ring a Bell?
These 7 episodes were available on the US region 1 version, but missed on this region 2 version. I'd recommend avoiding this DVD set completely and buying the region 1 version.
The Second Collection set is correct as it contains the same episodes as the region 1 counterpart, so there is no need to buy Volume 2 on region 1 (only the First Collection/Volume 1)

Let down
Loved this cartoon as a kid, was so looking forward to a trip down memory lane. But the quality hasnt been upscaled or anything so it really is like watching an 80's/90's cartoon
