    Universal Shows - List of other shows they own, pre 1990

    Yep. The copy I saw was from Australian television around 1980, as there was a voice-over about David Janssen's death on the end credits.

    Universal Shows - List of other shows they own, pre 1990

    I absolutely hate that forced subtitles seems to be inevitable on any releases from France. The Frenchies have lost several sales from me for that very reason. Don't understand why they wouldn't do like Germany and offer English-language shows in the original language with a subtitles-off...

    Universal Shows - List of other shows they own, pre 1990

    or, from Madman in Australia, who gave us Darkroom... I'm willling to wager that this series has (likely) never been converted to digital. Hec, it might never have been transferred to tape at all, as it was surely broadcast from film at the time, and probably had limited foreign distribution...

    Scott Atwell Star Trek Discussion thread (Series and Films)

    I'm sure you're aware that Kirk did come back in Generations, since you mention Scotty and Chekov's appearances. He was, in fact, a major part of that particular movie.

    Can Someone Tell me Why Chico and the Man is MIA?

    Moonlighting is streaming now on Hulu. All five seasons. You can also purchase digital downloads on Google Play.

    Three's Company - The official 40th Anniversary Collection Coming December 22nd!

    For those interested in the three original British productions (Man About the House, George & Mildred and Robin's Nest) I would recommend not waiting too long to purchase those. The video company that released those in the UK (Network Video) went out of business last year, so once stock sells...

    Keeping Up Appearances (disc replaced?)

    That is the one with the messed-up picture quality (fake film-like appearance). I see that I never revealed what happened with my defective disc back in 2015. I ended up contacting the US BBC/Warner office and they sent me an entire replacement boxset (not just the problem disc) for free. All I...

    Those shots looked bad on CED disc on a 19-inch tube TV, too. Scotty's 'tobacco mouth' in the self-destruct sequence was very distracting!

    Scott Atwell Star Trek Discussion thread (Series and Films)

    I wonder if Doohan ever gave an interview discussing his time on Jason of Star Command, which was shot prior to Star Trek: The Motion Picture?

    5 Movies You'll NEVER Watch Again...

    Okay, I'll bite (unless I did earlier in this thread and forgot about it): Police Academy: City Under Siege. One of the absolute worst pieces of garbage I paid to see in a theatre (I had skipped the fifth installment, hadn't really wanted to see this one). I knew I was in trouble when I had the...

    Production Order vs. Broadcast Order

    I get what you're saying, but in this instance, I think it was borne of necessity, as ABC Standards & Practices wouldn't have allowed them to use the word 'prostitute' for a regular character in early evening in 1978.

    Battlestar Galactica (1978 film) on 4K UHD Blu-ray

    I think it would take some decent extras, such as the "Starbuck's shirt off in turbo-lift" scene (that was in the Canadian theatrical, as I recall) or some as-yet previously unreleased deleted scenes to get most folks to bite on this. I doubt Universal gave them that kind of access to the archive.

    American TV shows that only got complete disc releases in other countries

    Are you sure it's sped-up, or just making an assumption since it's a UK release? PAL speedup only affects titles that were produced using a duplication master that came from a "24fps film-to-PAL" transfer. As we all know, most TV series since the 1990s were mastered/assembled on NTSC video or...

    Katherine Leigh Scott was also on 1999, BTW. She had a minor role on the Year Two episode "Dorzak."

    Paramount+ Star Trek: Discovery - Official Thread

    But, then, what would the majority of Star Trek and Doctor Who fans talk (gripe) about on the interwebs? (smile)
