I wanted to buy this anyway as I'm a bit if a fan of the series but was slightly disappointed that, despite what it suggests in Amazon's listing, it DOES NOT CONTAIN The Pilot Episode.

For those who have not seen this before (like me), but who remember the classic 70s show with affection, best to avoid this one.
Perhaps it's symptomatic of the early 90s - or just bad writing and acting - but this show is shallow and insipid.
Different characters are American at different times - it seems that the role of the American changes with various characters slipping into and out of an American accent in different stories (maybe I missed something).
The acting (or rather - over-acting) is pretty bad. Unlike the 70s show which at its best, actually challenged kids - this one is simplistic and pretty stupid really.
It's a real pity, because if approached in a different way, as a continuation of the 70s story, this could have been quite intelligent and smart. If it had been done well, it could have still been on TV today. Fortunately, it is mercifully short - at 25 episodes.
If your memories are of the 70s version, don't ruin them by watching this.
