I picked up a healthy dose of Spanish one evening, taking in an episode of Viaje a Las Estrellas, con Willam Shatner in a hotel room in Zacatecas, back in '84. Having been a thorough trekkie back in my pre-teen years, it was an episode that I knew almost by heart, so though the dubbing was horrible, I still picked up quite a few words & concepts -- and had a really good laugh. Trek, being a Nordic or Germanic word, apparently had no exact equivalent in Spanish.

According to my former employer's human resources dept. the spanish spoken in northern Mexico (specifically Nuevo Leon) is the most standard spanish in the world, pretty much anyone that speaks spanish in other countries can understand most of what we say, Nico

Also, to the best of my knowledge the narrators sounds like they are from northern Mexico, so you will be learning the language as it is spoken in many areas near the border. I will let someone else confirm that, but I am pretty sure they are not from Spain, Cuba, or South America.
The quality of the sound and picture are very good, at least on my old tube TV.
