    Magnum PI complete series.

    I'd rather have the complete uncut epsiodes instead of the syndicated ones on DVD. Some of the cuts are very distracting and upset the flow of some episodes. I doubt Universal care as they are too cheap to even release captions on many of their film and TV titles.

    Happy Days Blu-Ray?

    I don't think we will ever see a complete set of Happy Days on DVD let alone Blu-ray! Some people are just silly if they think CBS/Paramount can magically make this happen. There are a multitude of music licensing issues to be worked out and who knows what condition the masters are in for the...

    How Happy Days went from a good show to bad and became super popular

    In the early seasons they did although in the later seasons it was clear that the show looked too much like a 70s production.

    Flying in the face of the doomsayers -- 2012 will turn out to be the best year of Blu-ray classic re

    Hmm ... Blu-ray Disc video sales are not doing nearly as well as DVD was at this stage of its life cycle so I don't really see how things are going to improve from a sales perspective. From what I've gathered, a lot of people are still not *that* interested in Blu-ray either because they already...

    Solaris (2002) on Blu-ray ?

    Will this title ever see the light of day ? It's a brilliant interpretation of Tarkovsky's Solaris by Soderbergh and really deserves a solid Blu-ray release perhaps in an extended cut. A very underrated film in my view.

    Wargames coming to Blu-ray August 21st

    I have been waiting for a HD release of this classic for so long. Despite the implausibility of the technology depicted in the film it's still a thrilling and entertaining ride. The scene with "Mr Potato Head" still cracks me up.

    Tonedeaf government dumbasses now make you watch 20 seconds of unskippable warnings in front of ever

    These obnoxious pieces of propaganda they call "anti-piracy" warnings are doing more to encourage piracy than to prevent it. These studios also have the audacity to equate copyright infringement with stealing which is blatantly false in many countries. The studios are probably hoping to scare as...

    3D Fox transferring 'I Robot' to 3D

    3D is a gimmick. I often wonder why studios think people will be wowed by ordinary films being re-released as 3D ? Plenty of suckers fall for the marketing hype of 3D without realizing that the reality is very different. Titanic 3D might be an exception but plenty of other films (like The Lion...

    Does every new show come out on DVD nowadays?

    What about Journeyman ? It ran for a 13 episode season and was quite popular. Is it stuck in music licensing hell ?

    Report: Blu-ray Sales Falling Short Of Expectations Even As Prices Decline. Are you still buying?

    The only DVDs I buy now are TV show seasons I'm still collecting. I just wish the studios would hurry up and finish some series instead of keeping people hanging. CBS/Paramount is probably the worst in this respect as shows like Streets of San Francisco, Happy Days, Becker and Family Ties have...

    MillenniuM on Blu-ray Disc ?

    I agree that a Blu-ray release of MillenniuM is not high on Fox's priorities right now given that the X-Files was a more popular show (but not an overly better one in my view). I am curious as to whether a HD transfer would present any major problems given that the show had minimal use of...

    MillenniuM on Blu-ray Disc ?

    Does anyone know if Fox is considering a transfer of the great 90's TV series MillenniuM onto Blu-ray Disc ? The DVDs are pretty good quality (especially Season 2) and although I'm quite pleased with them I think this show could benefit quite a lot from a remastered High Definition transfer.

    Relic Hunter Seasons 1 and 2 Comes to DVD

    Seasons 1 & 2 of Relic Hunter have been available in Region 4 (Australia) for quite a while. I'm more concerned when Season 3 gets released - if ever.
