    Returning to HTF after a long absence

    Thanks for the welcome back, gents. Hey MIke, you have the honor(?) of being the only HTF member I've met in person. I believe that was a Dick Van Dyke set that changed hands that day at Crossgates. I don't remember if it was a season or the complete series, but I think it was a DVD DVD. And...

    Returning to HTF after a long absence

    I'm far from a new member -- July will be 20 years since I joined HTF -- but I've been gone for a long time. Looking back at my posting history, I stopped posting regularly in 2009 and returned for a (very) brief time in 2011. I essentially stopped collecting discs over the last several years...

    2019 MLB Season

    Minute Maid Park is built at the site of Houston's former train station, Union Station. The now-renovated Union Station building serves as the main entrance into the ballpark, and is also the location of the team's offices. So the train pays homage to the site's former railroad heritage -- as...

    Weekly RoundUp 8-9-2011

    i'm probably gonna pick up Super as a blind buy and BB's bonus disc looks like it could be worthwhile, but is it worth $6.50 more than Amazon's price? I've been around, just not around here. :) I'll reply to your PM and get into it.

    Sit Down & Shut Up

    Obviously it's dead. It was dead when it was getting 2 million viewers or whatever it was when it was on. My "it's not dead yet" comment meant they're actually going to air (at least some of) the unaired episodes. I did not expect that at all.

    Sit Down & Shut Up

    For the four people in the world (besides me) who actually watched this, it looks like it's not dead yet. FOX has announced plans to burn off the unaired episodes in the fall - Saturday nights at midnight, beginning 9/12.

    Weekly RoundUp 7-7-2009

    Thanks for the prices, guys. Some maybes for this week but nothing definite. Quote: I'm getting the same thing that Ron posted, except with IE's red Xs instead of the blue ?s. I'm using IE7 on Vista.

    Run Your Own Drive-In -- For Real

    Depending on your definition of "easy driving distance," you can make it five with the one here in Glens Falls.

    'ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?'

    The show is actually entering syndication in September. Those are the episodes that MyNet will be airing (two eps - once a week). Not sure if the MyNet epsiodes will be new or repeats of the syndie episodes. I doubt it'll be in HD. I don't think it was in HD on FOX, either. I think FOX aired...

    Home Theater Forum 2.0 Has Arrived!

    HTF 2.0? A purge of all members who don't know when to end a word with S or 'S? Wishful thinking, I know.

    2009 MLB Thread

    I'm going to the Nats/Yanks game next Wednesday. Since Washington's playing, does that count as a minor league game? Anyway, back in the mid-90s, I used to go to New Haven Ravens games when the team first started (AA affiliate of the Rockies at the time; last I heard, the team moved to NH)...

    Blu Rays, HD DVDs, & Cases For Sale!

    Greg, which version of No Country do you have? Is it the original Blu-ray or the special edition re-release? If it's the latter, PM me - I'm interested.

    Weekly RoundUp 6-9-2009

    No love for teen comedies, Mike? Obviously it won't rank up there with Casablanca but from what I've read, it sounds pretty good (for what it is, of course).

    2009 MLB Thread

    Back on 4/5, in my predictions, I posted: And now two months into the season, they're tied with the Red Sox for the best record in the AL after taking two out of three at Fenway this weekend (after going winless in seven games in Boston last season). I knew they had a good team but even I...

    Anyone else having problems with A Bug's Life on the PS3?

    I bought the Bug's Life Blu-ray last Sunday at Toys "R" Us and got around to watching it last night. It froze around the 32:00 mark. I took it out to try to check it/clean it and put it back in and it wouldn't play at all. I eventually got a "This is an invalid disc" message. So I exchanged it...

    Say Anything Blu-ray being worked on, with new extra(s)

    "Weird Al" Yankovic posted this on his Twitter account today: That's all the info he gives. I assume it's for a Region A release. And if they're working on it now, I wouldn't be surprised to see it released sometime in Q4. And there's apparently going to be at least one new bonus feature for...

    Time Warner to drop HDNet and HDNet Movies, says there is "limited appeal"

    Except that TCM HD isn't even available on any cable/satellite systems yet (is it?) and we don't know if they'll actually air moives in true HD or if they'll just be stretched, a la many other Time Warner-owned HD channels (TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, any others?).

    2009 MLB Thread

    Randy Johnson just won his 300th career game, 5-1, though Giants closer Brian Wilson made it interesting in the bottom of the 8th. He came within inches of walking Adam Dunn with the bases loaded, which would have tied the game (the score was 2-1 at that point, SF scored 3 runs in the top of the...

    Deep Discount Spring 2009 Sale?

    There's no guarantee they'll even have a sale this time. They recently had a coupon for 10% off $40 and since they rarrely have coupons other than their biennial sales, speculation was that sale was replacing the usual 20%/25% sale. I have a feeling many people are going to be disappointed...

    2009 MLB Thread

    If I asked you who was leading MLB in home runs, how many of you would guess the Padres' Adrian Gonzalez? Probably not many. He hit his 20th home run today. 20 HRs before June - not too shabby. He is one of the most underrrated players in baseball, because he plays in San Diego. The last two...

    Who still subscribes to newspapers/magazines?

    I subscribe to ESPN the Magazine, but that's only because it includes a free subscription to ESPN.com's premium Insider service. I got a deal at Amazon for a 2-year subscription to the magazine/Insider for about half what a 1-year Insider subscription costs, so I went for it. I'll occasionally...

    Weekly RoundUp 6-2-2009

    Getting Weeds S4 Blu this week (I love Lionsgate pricing their TV sets on Blu the same as the DVDs). I'll get Jetsons S2V1 when it hits the $20 price point. And some of this week's catalog Blu-rays are on my "I'll be when they're on sale" list. And it's not one of this week's releases but...

    T2 Skull edition up for pre-order on Amazon

    I have three $25 Amazon GCs on the way to me from my Amazon CC. Seriously considering using them (or maybe just two) to put a large dent in the price of this. Sam's pictures really want to make me get it. What to do?

    American Gladiators (original) release - 7/14

    That explanation doesn't make much sense. If their goal was to include fewer episodes to make it cheaper for consumers, why not split the season into volumes and make this release a "season one, volume one" with the first half of the season, then release the second half of the season in volume...

    Lots of 80's sitcoms..Where's Mr. Belvedere?

    Glad to see season three is coming out so quickly after the first set. I finally got around to picking up the first set a couple weeks ago and watched the first episode the other night. It was the first time I'd seen an episode since it left syndication, so it was definitely good to finally see...
