Live Chat With Warner Home Video Tv And Animation May 7 2007  

Subject: Live Chat with Warner Home Video TV and Animation
Date: Monday, May 7, 2007


<RonEpstein> Parker and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back Warner
Brothers to our studio chat.  Tonight we will be conversing with the folks from the TV and
Animation division.   Who do we have so far on your end, Warner Brothers?

<Warner_Brothers> Melissa Hufjay and Monica Albert...publicity gurus for Non
theatrical (TV, Kid, etc). Amit Desai, Executive Director of Family and Animation just
walked in.  Also, say hello to Rosemary Markson, VP of TV Marketing and her super
star A team:  Brenda Bailey, Joshua Cohen and Kirstina Fugate

<Warner_Brothers> Hey everybody don't forget TEX AVERY'S DROOPY The Complete
Theatrical Collection streeting next Tuesday 5/15

<MatthewC> Are there any plans for a future season of The Drew Carey Show?

<Warner_Brothers> Drew Carey S1 JUST released 4/17 go buy your copy and
then we'll talk about Season 2!!!

<ChuckL> March 28th, 2006 brought home for fans of the long running CBS series
KNOTS LANDING home to DVD.  It has been over year now and still not a word about
releasing the remainder 13 seasons of this popular show.  If I recall correctly, the first
season was released to positive sales.  The second season is when the show finally
started to resemble the iconic show that it was to become with the inclusion of Donna
Mill's to the cast as "Abby Cunningham."   I would also like to know on the animation
front with the Cartoon Network folks, if there are plans to begin releasing, even in best
of collections if it must happen outside of season sets, that Cartoon Network's COW
AND CHICKEN might soon see a release?  And as always...thanks for doing these chats
Warner!  You do a hell of a job!

<Warner_Brothers> for COW AND CHICKEN - we're in the process of evaluating this and
other CN releases. On Knots - we appreciate your support, unfortunately, sales of Season 1
were softer than expected so at this point we don't have any firm plans for Season 2.

<KeithPaynter> Welcome back, everyone.  What is the word on including more star-power
B&W Looney Tunes on upcoming box sets as opposed to singles appearing as "Night At
The Movies" bonus material on feature films, and will we see "Tin Pan Alley Cats" and "Coal
Black" included in full any time soon?

<Warner_Brothers> We're planning to release Looney Tunes golden Collection vol 5
this upcoming holiday season.  The collection will contain 60 remastered shorts on 4 discs.  
We'll get back to you on the specific episodes.

<Pavan_P> Hi, I'm from SitcomsOnline.com and we would like to know when Perfect
Strangers is coming on DVD?  It is one of the top requested shows to come to DVD on
TVShowsonDVD.com.  We worked with you guys in selecting the episodes for the TV
Favorites, but that set was scrapped. Please give us some details on a season set!

<Warner_Brothers> We appreciate the continued interest in perfect strangers.  we are
evaluating a potential Season 1 release in 2008.  

<CoreyScapito> Now that most of the main DC animated titles have all been released are
there any plans on bringing out box sets of Static Shock and/or The Zeta Project?

<Warner_Brothers> the episodic compliation release of Static Shock was disappointing and
therefore it is unlikely that we'll be bringing out a box set.  On the other hand we're in the process
of evaluating the zeta project for future release.

<ThomasP> Are there any plans for season sets of "World's Greatest Superfreinds", "Super
Friends - Galactic Guardians", Filmation's animated Aquaman series and Filmation's 1960's
animated Batman series? Also the Suprefirends "Lost shorts" from 1980-193?...Much thanks
for the upcoming Filmation's Superman, Filmation's (1977) Batman, and Super Friends: Legendary
Super Power Show.

<Warner_Brothers> Galactic Guardians and Aquaman are coming out in 07. New adventures
of batman is coming out in 2007.  Super Friends: Legendary Super Power Show is being
released in 2007.  the rest are being evaluated.

<BrianMichaels> Thanks for coming!  Animation: Last time you mentioned there was no news
on the Tiny Toons series, but would consider releasing their "How I Spent My Summer Vacation"
movie.  Any news on either?  For TV (just because I can't find who has them) are "Ed" or "Parker
Lewis Can't Lose" yours?

<Warner_Brothers> Tiny Toons is hopefully coming in 08.  The tv titles aren't WB.

<MatthewA> I was extremely disappointed over the release of edited syndicated versions of
MAMA'S FAMILY. Is there any chance we will ever see an uncut season 1 reissue? Hopefully
further seasons will be the unedited versions. Also, any chance of ALICE season sets or more
of KNOTS LANDING?

<Warner_Brothers> We answered Knots Landing early.  We're evaluating Alice but no
specific plans.  as for mama's family, unfortunately we don't own the unedited masters.  
We only have ownership of the syndicated version.

<PaulP> Hi, WB, and firstly thanks for all your amazing work with classic animation! My question
therefore is: What can you share with us reagarding your plans for MGM's catalog of theatrical
cartoons? I envision sets like the Looney Tunes Golden Collections or Popeye, myself :)

<Warner_Brothers> we continue to mine MGMs catalog of theatrical cartoons.  For example we
plan to release Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection Vol 3 this fall, and Tex Avery's Droopy releases
next week.  

<ChrisCook> Thank you for allowing .Everwood. to be asked tonight.  I purchased the first season
of .Everwood in 2005 as a blind buy.  I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate the effort that went
into that release.  Now, you recently revisited .Without a Trace.  Both series. first season suffered
low sales and both have music rights issues to clear.  I don't know how well the second season
of Without a Trace sold.

<RonEpstein> Warner, I guess this is the chance to say everything you have to say about
EVERWOOD and then we'll leave it alone for the rest of the evening

<Warner_Brothers> we know we have alot of interest in Everwood based on the feedback we
continue to receive from the fans.  we'd love to release future seasons but the music costs are
prohibitive.  we're evaluating if we can make it work with music substitution but at this time we
just don't know.  

<MichelleB> Any plans to release season sets of Falcon Crest?

<Warner_Brothers> not at this time.  thanks.  done

<Warner_Brothers> But...Dallas Season 7 coming July 31st

<ToddF> Hi, I'm from SitcomsOnline.com .  Are there any plans on continuing Growing Pains,
Night Court or Life Goes On?

<Warner_Brothers> Night Court, Growing Pains and Life Goes On - At this time there are no plans
for release - we'll continue to consider.

<Rowan> You have mentioned several times that you are 'evaluating' series for release.  Can
you please tell what goes into those discussion and who is questioned in regards to this?  Also...
on older shows, why the trend of releasing first seasons of long running programs, and while I know
that sales play a role, what about the folks that rushed out to purchase the title on the release that
are then left holding the bag on their favorite series?  

<Warner_Brothers> We always release series with the full intention and hope of releasing the
entire series on DVD.  Unfortunately, sales don't always warrant this.  A lot goes into the evaluation
of potential series - looking at sales of prior similar series...consumer research...costs to master
and clear music - both of which can be substantial and prohibitive for release.  we also try to get
a sense of how avid and passionate the fan base is.  All that said - if a series is profitable for
release, we will release it and continue to release it.   it is not an easy evaluation or decision.  
We ponder it carefully.  unfortunately, there is often a drop off in sales from season 1 to subsequent
seasons on classic titles.  this is also a major issue for classic tv series.  not necessarily the same
issue with shows currently airing.  

<RonEpstein> ...and you are not the only studio that has had this problem when initial sales
fell sharply after a first season release.  Thanks, Warner!

<WallyW> I love the late 80s-early 90s Warner family sitcoms...so when can we expect Family Matters,
Step by Step, Hogan Family, and Mr. Cooper finally? Glad to hear Perfect Strangers is being 'evaluated'
for 2008 though...cant wait!

<Warner_Brothers> We don't have plans on any of these at this time.  i can say that we are evaluating
Family Matters for a potential '08 release but music is fairly high.  

<Sarah_K> I run HomefrontOnDVD.com and last year we sent Rosemary our petition...now with
1635 people having signed it we all want to know are there any plans for a Homefront release and
if so when? Also if it is released will it be both seasons as one release or 2 seperate season sets
released? And thank you all so very much for doing this chat!

<Warner_Brothers> i appreciate the very avid fan base for this show.  we have been looking
at homefront but music is very very high.  and unfortunately, i don't know that the dvd base for the
show is large enough to release it.  but we'll continue to keep it on our long list.  

<SteveJohnson> Looking towards Adult Swim/CN for a moment, any word on a release date for
the second season of Robot Chicken? Thanks!

<Warner_Brothers> look for it this fall!  we will announce a date within a month.

<PaulMiller> Are they any plans for eighties cartoon favorites The Smurfs, Pac Man, and The Plastic
Man Comedy Adventure Hour? Also, are there any plans on releasing The Huckleberry Hound Show
Volume 2?

<Warner_Brothers> we plan to make an exciting announce concerning one of the above titles (ooh the
mystery!) at Comic-Con in July.  stay tuned.  sadly, there are no plans to release huckleberry hound v2.  

<Jim_Beaver> Brimstone is my favourite show and also the one I really want on DVD what are
the plans for it? Also what's in the works for Opposite Sex, Run of the House, Bucky O'Hare, Fish Police?

<Warner_Brothers> no plans.  

<SeanP> Are there any plans for a DVD release of the made-for-TV animated film "The Flight of
Dragons"? I've been hoping for this one for ages...

<Warner_Brothers> thanks for the comment.  we'll consider it.  

<PeterB> I know music rights are often an issue, but studios have sometimes just replaced music
in the past - I dont think anyone would mind (or notice) on most shows! ALSO, any chance shows t
hat are not successful enough to release on dvd would be made available to buy as downloads
on iTunes or somewhere similar?  no production costs, and you still get sales! (I want "Fastlane"!)
- and one title-specific question:  I know you do some BBC TV stuff... any plans on a US release
for SPACED from the Shuan of the Dead/Hot Fuzz guys?

<Warner_Brothers> no release plans at this time for SPACED.  there is a possibility of seeing
some shows online at some point.  helps with costs for physical production, but music still has
to be cleared or substituted.  

<Matt_Oneill> any plans to release Freddy's Nightmares and Third watch. this might not be your
area, but any plans for bbc shows My Family (season 3) and Life on Mars. do you guys own the
rights to the Twin Peaks pilot?

<Warner_Brothers> we don't own the rights to twin peaks.  no plans for freddy's nightmares.  
We are evaluating third watch for a potential '08 release.  both bbc releases are in consideration
but no specific plan.

<DennyW> Any Plans for DVD releases (or other delivery methods) for the 1950s-1960's B&W
WB TV Library such as the various Detective and Western Series,or is the focus for WHV TV when
it comes to classics more for the 1970's-1980's programs. I for one support,and wouldn't mind at
least a "Television Favorites" DVD on some of those shows  - I enjoyed the MAVERICK release.  

<Warner_Brothers> We do have a great library of classic westerns and detective series.   We will
continue to consider these and hope to be able to release more in the future but it is hard to make
the financials work.  on a positive note, we do have the second (and final) season release of F-Troop
coming out 5/29!  

<annette> Are there any plans to release Scarecrow and Mrs. King to DVD? Thanks

<Warner_Brothers> on our consideration list but no plans at this time.  

<Warner_Brothers> For all you Wait Till Your Father Gets Home fans -- Season 1 releases on 6/5.

<Warner_Brothers> don't forget about our 2 great classics...CHiPs: The Complete First Season
on 6/5 and Welcome Back Kotter: The Complete First Season on 6/12.

<Jack> Thanks for being here tonite Looking forwrd to Wait till your father gets home. Forgive
me if these have been asked Mama's Family corrected etc Knots Landing and Tiny Toons

<Warner_Brothers> all asked and answered

<ChrisS> First off Thank You very much for the Samurai Jack, Foster's Home & Animaniacs
sets! I can't wait to buy more! :)  Now my question, can we expect to see any animated releases,
particularly Bugs & company, in HD anytime soon?

<Warner_Brothers> As a leader in the HD category we are seriously evaluating all of our
content for release on HD and BD.

<Krister_> Hi, WB. Are there any plans of releasing the tv mini series Lace from 1984 and
Lace 2 from 1985??

<Warner_Brothers> no plans at this time.  But look for animaniacs and pinky and the
brain vol 3 in June

<MatthewJ> Regarding HD, I noticed Friends Season One is on the TBA List. Will this happen
in 2007 and will the episodes be truly re-MASTERED for HD?

<Warner_Brothers> what tba list?

<MatthewJ> the tba list for planned upcoming hd dvds and blu ray, namely posted on
highdefdigest.com

<Warner_Brothers> not sure where they get their information but its not from us!  done.

<Ben_King> Any plans to release the short-lived 1980.2019s Lorimar soap FLAMINGO ROAD
on DVD? P.S. Please reconsider KNOTS LANDING and FALCON CREST. Many soap fans
would happily buy the complete runs of all three shows (and all of DALLAS) on DVD. There
IS a market out there for these soapy serials (sales of season one of KNOTS LANDING were
probably .soft due to the absence of Donna Mills as Abby, probably the show.'s most popular
character)

<Warner_Brothers> no plans for Flamingo Road at this time and we'll keep Knots and Falcon
Crest under consideration. Thanks for your support...andif you're a soap fan you can buy the
4th and final season of the OC on 5/22

<MikeL> I am a huge Wizard of Oz fan and I hope you guys know how much the TV movie
The Dreamer of Oz is wanted on DVD!  Please give us the classic!  Also for TV animation any
word on Alvin & the Chipmunks?

<Warner_Brothers> we'll look into Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Dreamer of Oz, thanks
for your suggestions!

<Tory> Will you be releasing telefilm sequels, spinoffs and animated versions of already
completed on DVD series such as Gilligan.2019s Island/Planet or Dukes/Enos? They involve
original cast members. Also any chance for both live action and animated Shazam or QuickDraw
McGraw?

<Warner_Brothers> We are considering the best way to release the telefilms from tv series
where we've already finished releasing the seasons.  we don't have any specific plans for
those at this time.  We're looking into Shazam and Quick Draw is highly doubtful at this time
due to music clearance issues.  

<NickD> I've been looking for to this chat for sometime.  First off, this chat is basically about
your "abandoned" releases.  Are we going to see a fifth and sixth season releases of The
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?  Also, what about season releases for Step by Step and Family
Matters, and a second season of Growing Pains.  My biggest complaint is Murphy Brown.  
What are the reasons for not seeing a second season?  And, are we ever going to see a
second season?

<Warner_Brothers> we've already answered the question on step by step, growing pains
and family matters (which by the way we haven't released a season 1 yet on family matters)...
we hope to continue releasing all seasons of fresh prince.  music costs are high but we're
trying to address this.  murphy brown sales were unfortunately not what they needed to
be for a season 2 release, esp. with high music costs.  so, sorry to say, no current plans
on murphy brown.

<Warner_Brothers> for all of you sci-fi fans, don't forget babylon 5:  the lost tales will be
out on dvd this 7/31!

<BrandonE> I was wondering if you were going to be releasing a Complete Series
DVD (and if it is going to have special features) for Full House after all of the Season Set
DVD'S are released?

<Warner_Brothers> we have 2 more season sets to go...that is our focus for now...
we'll go from there.  

<Warner_Brothers> don't forget to run out to get your copy of the season one releases
of George Lopez, What I Like About You and Drew Carey.  In store now!

<PeteBattista> Hi, are there any plans of releasing the second season of Superboy?

<Warner_Brothers> No plans at this time for Superboy

<JimCabby> Thanks, WB, for this chat and for all your TV on DVD and iTunes.  I've
grown into a near-addict of it.  I'm hoping you'll put out more of the old 1960s, Black and
White series in the future on DVD (or iTunes..).  One series I've always wanted to see but
have NEVER gotten to see is a Warner Television show "The Roaring '20s" produced
between 1960 and 1962 that regularly featured Dorothy Provine and Rex Reason.  

<Warner_Brothers> There are no plans for Roaring 20's on DVD at this time done

<Warner_Brothers> Look for Hanna Barbera's Birdman/Galaxy Trio & Space Ghost/Dino
Boy Complete Series on DVD 7/17/07

<RobN> Is there a chance of ever seeing the short-lived series Maximum Bob or
the classic BBC series The Goodies?  

<Warner_Brothers> No plans at this time

<TomR> Thanks for the chat once again.  How about some older series season sets for
Courtship of Eddie's Father, Please Don't Eat the Daisies and Chico and the Man?  Any word?
 
<Warner_Brothers> We do not have plans for any of these, but we'll keep them on the long list

<Jeff-Wooten> Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions, WB! I greatly appreciate it.
Any news on Man From UNCLE or Thundarr the Barbarian? Thanks

<Warner_Brothers> I'm happy to report that we are actively working on a Man from U.N.C.L.E.
release in the future and we hope to have something to announce later this year.  We'll also look
into Thundarr the Barbarian

<Mark> I heard that Roots: The Next Generations is being release sometime soon if so when
also is Dallas going to get a faster release another thing I will like to say is the second season
dvd of Knots Landing will be a big hit seller.

<Warner_Brothers> We hope to be able to announce Roots The next generation soon.  
We are releasing Dallas at a faster pace - there are two releases planned for this year - look
for Season 7 on 7/31/07 done

<Peter_M_Fitzgerald> Good evening, folks. A largely untapped area for DVD are the
horror/sci-fi/suspense telefilms of the 1970s. If you released a "Cult Camp Classics" style
set of DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (73), BAD RONALD (74) and THE STRANGER WITHIN (74)
just before, say, Halloween 2008, it would sell quite well, I'd think.

<RonEpstein> I second "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark"  That is a highly requested title.

<Warner_Brothers> We don't think those titles are ours, but we'll double check - thanks done

<Warner_Brothers> speaking of cult camp collections, to clarify, we did check and these
titles are ours. our resident Telefilms expert wasn't in the room at the time but confirmed
she's evaluating a potential release

<PaulMiller> Any plans to release the eighties version of the Jetsons or Johnny Quest?
Any chance of the Flintstone Kids getting a release?

<Warner_Brothers> We're looking into both Jetsons and Johnny Quest as well as the
Pebbles and Bam Bam show

<Warner_Brothers> Look for The new Adventures of Batman & The New Adventures of
Superman on June 26th!

<Kyle> I'm excited for the upcoming Superman:Doomsday and The New Frontier.  I've seen that
Doomsday will be. in a style close to the Timm-verse shows.  I heard before that the movies would
mostly be in the style of their comic book counterparts i.e. New Frontier- cooke, Judas- Perez.  
Is this the case?  And will future DC animated movies be of specific storylines and in their art styles?

<Warner_Brothers> Re: Superman Doomsday and The New Frontier  - both story lines are
inspired by the best selling graphic novels.  You'll find that the New Frontier's creative look will
mirror the graphic novel more closely.

<JohnJ> hi any plans on releasing the current hit ABC drama MEN IN TREES before the second
season airs?  also, how about the classics Our House and Head of the Class?  Thanks for Balki &
Larry (Perfect Strangers) in 2008!  I'll be the first in line!  

<Warner_Brothers> Men in Trees - we're looking at this title now, however, we are still trying
to figure out what the network plans are for the remaining episodes produced during seasons 1.  
No plans at this time for Our House and Head of the Class.

<RichFred> Thanks for the chat..any plans for "Eight is Enough"; the short lived 80's show
"Love Sidney" w/Tony Randall or 80's cartoons "The Puppies Lost Adventures" from the
Scooby Doo hour?

<Warner_Brothers> WE'll continue to look at new releases of Scooby - one of our best animated
franchises.  No plans on either of the other titles, but we'll consider Eight is Enough

<RonEpstein> Next, from TVSHOWSONDDVD.COM and a fellow chrome-dome buddy, I give
you David Lambert....

<David_Lambert> Thanks for doing this chat, and I apologize that I was late getting here and missed
the beginning. I'm sure there were a lot of questions tonight that came as no surprise, and some
questions that were completely out of the blue! I'm curious, what questions did you expect to be
asked, that weren't asked up until now? Any titles you were dying to talk about but didn't get asked?
(Here's your chance!)

<Warner_Brothers> we're surprised we're not getting Popeye the Sailor Vol 1 questions -- 4-disc
set with 60 remastered shorts and 5 hours of EC  -- release 7/31  look for panel discussion at ComicCon

<DerekJ> I arrived late, has the "low-selling" Huckleberry Hound Vol2 question (with or w/o indiv. volumes)
been asked yet?...It wasn't "our fault" and you know it!† :)  (Assume we've already gotten the Chronological
Popeye thanks out of the way, and I second more Cult Camp collections.)

<Warner_Brothers> yes it has. thanks for your support but there are no plans for Huckleberry Hound
Vol. 2  but look for other canines: Droopy, Scooby

<Roger> Warner Brothers, you guys rock! You set the gold standard for this industry, and I am counting
the days until DROOPY and POPEYE arrive. I never thought we'd see Popeye, and it's so great that you
are giving these great cartoons a first class treatment. I'm a big fan of classic animation and classic TV,
and while I lament the fact that the greed of music publishers are preventing the release of some of my
favorite Tv series.

<Warner_Brothers> Roger you Rock!  

<Roger> Will you ever release the BUGS BUNNY SHOW series that we see on the Golden
Collections in excerpts?

<Warner_Brothers> funny you mention that, perhaps 50th Anniversary release?

<Brandon_D> Thanks Warner. I got here late so I don't know if these have been asked. Are there any
plans for season sets of ALICE or FALCON CREST?

<Warner_Brothers> yes they have been asked. no plans at this time. thanks.

<John_Pannozzi>  I want to mention some censorship that was done to certain episodes of Tiny Toons
in hopes that they.2019ll be restored on DVD. The episode ."The Looney Beginning" originally aired in
prime-time on CBS and in it's prime-time airing contained at least two scenes that were removed
from later airings.   Also, will you release Pinky, Elmyra & The Brain? And I want the PowerPuff Girls
Movie and Cats Don.2019t Dance in their original aspect ratios

<Warner_Brothers> the moment you've all been waiting for: the complete first season of Powerpuff Girls
coming to DVD 6/19/07. Regarding Tiny Toons, thanks for the info!

<LaurenW> Thanks WB - I had to leave, but came back.  My question is about Murphy Brown.  
Will this be the year for a Murphy Brown Season 2 release? If not, will we ever see another season
of MB on DVD?

<Warner_Brothers> we answered that question already. sales were too low for Murphy Brown
Season 1 to support a second release given high music cost. if we see a high surge in sales for
season 1 we'll happily consider a season 2 release.

<ThomasP> You mentioned Space Ghost & Bird Man earlier...any chance of the HB series
HERCULOIDS and SEA LAB 2020?  What about Season sets of the recent DUCK DODGERS series?

<Warner_Brothers> we're looking at all the above. we'll get back to you.  

<Tory> Do you have any more information on the Looney Tunes Wartime Collection mentioned in
the last chat andEarl Kress said on his blog he found some good material for a Josie & the Pussycats
bonus. Please contact him.

<Warner_Brothers> no news now on Looney tunes wartime collection and stay tuned for exciting
news on Josie and the Pussycats soon.  

<Peter_M_Fitzgerald> Thanks much for POPEYE, DROOPY, and LT VOL 5! Though TV FAVORITES:
MAVERICK was a fine appetizer, the TV on DVD landscape is much poorer due to a lack of MAVERICK
season sets, especially the first 3 with James Garner. Will we see any in the near future? Also, how about
a set of Hanna Barbera's live-action/animated NEW ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN ('68), one of their few
prime-time series? Thanks.

<Warner_Brothers> thanks for your support on TV Favorites. we don't have any news on Maverick
season one but we'll continue to look at it. no current plans for Huck Finn.

<Brandon_D> Any plans for future releases of GROWING PAINS or NIGHT COURT? Also, I am so
excited about Season 1 of Welcome Back Kotter!! THANK YOU!!!

<Warner_Brothers> thanks for your support on Welcome Back Kotter. we don't have any current plans f
or second seasons of Growing Pains and Night Court.  

<ChrisCook> Last year some of the episodes of the short-lived Against the Grain were put on AOL. TV.  
Somehow I missed this series when it aired in the 90s, but what I saw of it, I really enjoyed.  This was
NBC.'s previous effort at a football-themed family drama.  It also starred Ben Affleck, .Lost's John Terry,
and Robyn Lively.  

<Warner_Brothers> we have no plans for this title.

<MichelleB> Any plans to release the 4th season of Nip/Tuck?

<Warner_Brothers> ABSOLUTELY!!!  look for exciting news about the release in the next few weeks.  

<AnnaCox> I am new and got here late.  Is there a way to look at previous questions and answers?  
I too want the remaining seasons of Murphy Brown and Night Court. Are there any other resources to
get dvd's of these shows since you are not releasing them?

<Warner_Brothers> sorry there is not.  

<CoreyScapito> Any plans on releasing box sets of Silver Hawks in the near future? Also- Captain
Planet... Is he a hero or zero when it comes to DVD box sets? ;) Any plans of this show coming out?

<Warner_Brothers> Silverhawk we're strongly considering. Captain Planet is a zero.  

<RobN> Warner has released some TV titles on HD-DVD, are there any plans for TV on Blu-Ray? (Smallville?)

<Warner_Brothers> yes we plan to support both formats. look for exciting TV on HD DVD and Blu-Ray
news later this year.  

<KeithPaynter> Thanks again - now that I get a second go-around, I look forward to Popeye, and have
ever since it was announced on Jerry Beck's Cartoon Research site, and I'll give him credit where credit
is due.  His assistance is invaluable (as always). Now, re:Whose Line Is It Anyway, is there justification for
season sets of the US version following last year's 2-disc "sampler"?

<Warner_Brothers> Whose Line Is It Anyway was not a sampler. volume one contained the first half
of season one. we do have plans for volume two release later this year that will contain the rest of season
one episodes. this release will be uncensored.  

<JimCabby> Thanks, again.  Here's the perennial request for "China Beach". Any chance of that coming
out any time?  

<Warner_Brothers> it is a great show which we love to release but the music clearance cost are extremely high.

<TimV> Good to hear SOME positve news finally about Perfect Strangers, but I don't want to get disappointed...
so how much % of a chance do we have Perfect Strangers coming in 2008?  Also, how about the urban
shows (Jamie Foxx, Wayans Bros, Living Single) with season 2 sets and new show sets for ROC and Redd
Foxx Show?  

<Warner_Brothers> I can't put a % on Perfect Strangers at this time. we're still in the process of looking at it.
Urban shows: we don't have any plans for any of the above.

<Warner_Brothers> check out supermandoomsday.com for the latest news on the upcoming superman
Doomsday DVD release.

<ThomasDE> Josh Scwartz recently said something about an OC complete set this fall.  What are
the details on that?  Also when will we be seeing Veronica Mars S3?

<Warner_Brothers> OC season 4 is coming 5/22. we do have plans for an awesome complete series
set later this year but we don't have any details to share at this time. look for release details for Veronica
Mars later this month.

<PaulMiller> Do you have any plans to release any of the older Cartoon Network shows like Dexter's
Labratory and Johnny Bravo in season sets?

<Warner_Brothers> not at this time but we're open to consider them.

<CoreyScapito> At last years chat you mentioned that you were thinking about bringing out Widescreen
sets of Teen Titans. Is this still true and if so when can we expect them?

<Warner_Brothers> the full screen Teen Titans have been selling well and we'll certainly consider
adding widescreen in the future.  

<Mark> Any plans for Roots:The Gift and the complete set of Queen since it fall into the Roots series
also how was the sales for mama family first season dvd because I really enjoyed the set just wish it
was more.

<Warner_Brothers> nothing we can announce at this time on Roots: The Gift and Queen. we're evaluating
another season of Mama's family. question is will you guys support the release if all we have access to are
the syndicated episodes?  

<TimV> Regarding Family Matters...you guys said earlier music issues...do you mean the first season theme
song "What a Wonderful World?"  If that is the case, can't you just use the more popular theme "As Days Go By?"
There really wasn't any msic in the episodes for S1...Do the Urkel was later on, lol.Hope to see this in 2008
anyway with Perfect Strangers.  

<Warner_Brothers> not sure as to the music details. we don't have that on us right now but we'll look into
it further. thanks for your early support on both.

<PeteyHollister> I've heard that there are no plans for a KNOTS LANDING SEASON 2 release because
sales of the first season were softer than expected, yet I recall seeing KNOTS SEASON 1 in the Video
Business top ten sales chart.  What gives?  Also, couldn't some strong marketing that not only trumpeted
the SEASON 2 arrival of fan fave Donna Mills, but also highlighted the similarities between KNOTS and
the mega-hit DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

<Warner_Brothers> not sure what video business reported but our sales were much less than expected.
We'll keep it under consideration given the strong apparent interest but it will be tough to do.  

<RonEpstein> Well, folks, that wraps it all up!   Parker and I would like to take the opportunity to thank
the entire gang at Warner PUblicity, TV and Animation: Melissa, Monica, Amit, Brenda, Joshua and Kristina.
Thanks to all of you for taking time out to talk with our membership.

<Packy> Thanks for being here tonight.
