    Bad news about the Vincent Price MGM Scream Legends Collection

    The other bad news is the boring and lacklustre bonus disc. I do not recognize most of the people who talk about Vincent and there is absolutely no clips of Price in interviews whatsoever. I think this collection is a big turd and that MGM doesn't really give a damn about their customers...

    Enough already Fox. Are we EVER going to see WKRP released?

    I think there should be stronger legislation ensuring the copyright holders cannot ask for just any rate they please. Who can honestly say it is fairer for The Beatles publishers to aks for more money than say, Freddy Fender? I started a website about this whole music clearance issue, trying...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Family Ties Season 1

    You've hit the nail squarely on the head! The studios just don't give a rat's a**. I also think that it is predominantly classic TV shows that are probably seeing the most cuts and music edits. They really just don't care! They know there are plenty of people who will buy this and not even read...

    SCTV The Best Of The Early Years, Oct. 24th!

    I would like to remind everyone that we could make quite a difference if we write letters to Shout! Factory letting them know how much we would appreciate the series released in it's entirety. Also, we could also have a positive impact by letting the copyright holders know that they can make...

    SCTV The Best Of The Early Years, Oct. 24th!

    From the details at TV Shows on DVD.com it doesn't look like it. The set will contain some interesting bonuses with Commentaries featuring Joe Flaherty, Robin Duke and Andrew Alexander. There is also a feature called "Looking Back" with Andrea Martin as well as a feature on The McKenzie...

    SCTV The Best Of The Early Years, Oct. 24th!

    The SCTV, The Best of the Early Years Collection is being released on October 24th. With the series only having two seasons of six released so far, and this being a "best of", SCTV really needs the support of fans more than ever. Details at TV Shows on DVD.com...

    Music Replacement In Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place

    Why not start a DVD Campaign for your series the way the fans for Moonlighing did? They managed to get every piece of music cleared for their show. I have also just started a campaign for SCTV. Moonlighting DVD Campaign http://www.moonlightingdvd.com/ Shawn

    Revised SCTV on DVD Campaign

    Hi Linda: Thanks for the note. I will certainly keep this in mind. My theory however, is that if we don't do everything we can to change the situation, then we won't get any kind of results. I do need supporters to the campaign, especially other SCTV sites. If you have an SCTV site and...

    Revised SCTV on DVD Campaign

    Hi everyone: I have given this whole business of music clearance and TV Shows On DVD a lot of thought. I think many people may not see the situation the way I do. This is not a matter of right or wrong, but simply a difference of opinion. I have revised my SCTV on DVD Campaign. The message...

    I think for us to feel that our position is weak and we have no say at all is not true. We are the consumers, after all. Certainly the majority are not interested in this issue. However to say that the public cannot influence or have a positive impact is not always true. A fine example of...

    I think that maybe what is happening in many cases is that the studios are in a rush to get the product to market. More time really needs to be spent negotiating for music like the Beatles. I personally think it only fair that there be going rate for music wether its the Beatles of the Bay City...

    I think that we just need to relax a little bit and not worry too much. I think the best thing might be to just show them how much the audience wants the music replaced. I think more of them would have agreed. I think they were probably upset with SCTV that the music was never cleared. That...

    Hi Guys, I am beginning to see the light. A positive message is what is needed. I have made some very important revisions to my SCTV on DVD Campaign. The main thing being a positive message from fans that they see the music being used by copyright holders as "positve, profitable and...

    I've been giving this a lot of thought. I know now that my methods have not been effective in getting my message across. But I am just a speck of sand as they say. It takes millions of grains of sand to make a beach. I know that I have been too harsh here and that I got carried away. In my...

    JOSEPH STEFANO (FIRST SEASON 'OUTER LIMITS' PRODUCER) PASSES AWAY!!!!!

    The passing of Stefano is truly a sad day. I have only known about Stefano since last year when I purchased the Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection. It was only recently that I saw the first season of The Outer Limits. Stefano's hand can be seen in the truly brilliant scripts in that season, in...

    I have never stated categorically that Gord wasn't doing his best. Neither do I insinuate that He has never done his part on behalf of the consumer. What hasn't happened often enough is that consumers have not written letters or changed their buying habits. Ultimately, this is all about...

    Thank You, George. Besides, my other point is that we as consumers can have a say if we choose to. Most don't even want to bother it seems. I do know this. There are going to be more and more TV Shows cut in the future. The Studios are now in a nice, comfortable position where they know that the...

    "Are there more altered shows out there than there should be? Absolutely. But I think you're exaggerating the problem quite a bit." This does not change the fact that studios are not informing consumers on the packaging. When a package says "The Complete Series", it should not be altered in...

    Gord Said: "Did you read about the problems with the episode? They couldn't include it due to legal reasons. You're right; they shouldn't have released it at all because a whole show not being released is much, much better than having to leave off an episode." I personally think that they...

    OK.. Look. I know have been ranting and raving on this topic for months. I think everyone here can agree that the problems with TV Shows on DVD are many. We all have been puttting up with this for quite some time. However, I do believe that most people want the product complete and unedited...

    The message that was here previously was the ravings of a madman. Please look near the end of this thread for a much more saner individual who has learne a lot from this group and for some shamless promotion for his SCTV on DVD Campaign! Special thanks also to Paul Simon for his positive...
