I guess I should know that if there was any new news on this release, I'd have seen it already. But since I'm a foolish optimist I'm still holding out some hope. Anyone know of any updates on possibly seeing the rest of the series? Could HTF try to get a Paramount chat scheduled so we could ask...

Anyone have any idea what happened to this series? Was it not selling well? After having 4 seasons released in 2005, we've only seen one in 2006. I'm starting to grow increasingly concerned that I might not ever own the complete series.

Despite my tremendous disappointment after reading David's review (as well as a few others), I decided to purchase the title anyway. While I agree with everyone's point that I should reward Disney with my money after they do a shoddy transfer, I'm a bit surprised that no one is giving some real...

Don't forget BIG...

For those who have already read the review: Anyone else more than a little disappointed that the Donner Cut will apparently be having the exact same ending as S:TM? Don't get me wrong, I'm still extremely excited to finally see it, and I'm sure it'll be a huge improvement over the Lester...

It's a little unclear whether or not it was made. After NBC abruptly changed their original plans and aired the series pilot prior to the finale, a number of news outlets picked up on the story. I remember reading a couple that said the documentary had been produced but they could obtain rights...

I'm disappointed that no commentaries have been announced for this set. I've found the commentaries in the other seasons to be pretty interesting, and would definately like to have heard one for the election episodes and the series finale. I was also hoping to finally get to see the...

I've caught up with the show on HBO On Demand, and am becoming a huge fan of it. Anyone own the first season and care to comment on the quality? And any word on when the second season will be released? I'm a little bit hesitant to buy this series because it seems like it could be a early...

Thanks for the hard work, Dave. As I said earlier, while I would've preferred a widescreen version of Season 1, it wasn't a make-or-break decision for my purchase. But with subsequent seasons planned for release in widescreen, I'm one happy fan! :)

I'd completely disagree with that point. How many times have fan raged on these boards when a film shot with an open matte was released in FS instead of WS? It's not a matter of how the content was originally captured, but rather how the creators wanted the content displayed. In the case of...

ComingSoon has posted a new press release from Fox Entertainment, which you can read here. Some stuff is a rehash, but there's more detail on the documentary "Within a Minute". And, more importantly, there's confirmation that a highly-anticipated deleted scene will be included. (Just in case...

I don't mean to seem argumentative, but I have to say I think the Director's Cut of Return of the Joker is the best animated Batman film ever, and probably second only to Batman Begins as far as all Batman films goes. The storyline is outstanding, the action scenes are well written, and it fits...

Actually, it was a direct-to-video movie. It eventually was shown on television, but no differently than any other movie would be shown on tv. Just prior to it's release on video, WB ordered it to be recut for fear it was too intense for children. Aint-It-Cool-News started a massive protest...

Maybe Seinfeld or Cheers would've been good comparisons, but Friends certainly wasn't. It actually had a stellar first season, averaging 24.3 million viewers per episode. On an unrelated note, I can't wait for The Flash to hit DVD. It was one of my favorite shows when I was younger, and I...
