Just a point of information if anyone cares... S2 was released in Region 2(UK) a few years back... and was released in 16:9 Widescreen. It's not just 'blank space' on each side, looks to be real wide composed....
If Shout Factory wanted to get another cult fav in the 'one and done' category.. and their 1st BluRay... How about Jake 2.0?
(and before anyone says otherwise, yes is HD... as seen when it was shown on HDNet.
Ack, what I get for posting after being on the road all day... but still, a significant diff in that in the original Bryce is a real git and in the US he turns white hat.
Not exactly, in the original Bryce (Paul Spurrier, who also appears in both versions..) was an evil little git that ended up going down with Grossman. US version he has an attack of conscience and sided with Max/Edison.
Short List

Dinosaucers (old animated done by JMS and a great group of writers)
Well I SURE AS HELL hope the info was just a cut/paste.
Tremors: The Series was shot WIDESCREEN and badly cropped to 4:3.
This was confirmed by the producers on the old Stampede Entertainment board.
It is on Amazon VOD 1.78:1 (and looks beautiful)
It is on HULU 1.78:1
It was shown wide in OZ...
Well, you're gonna love this... I got the BB Set.. TWICE... BOTH copies, on the Archives volume... TWO disc 2's, no disc 1. Returned both, got a raincheck for when they come back in stock..
but here's the good part... I thought I could get in contact with A&E and get a disc 1, since it was...
Well isn't that special :) both have the same price and an MD's worth of difference in the name... well I checked and the guy I talked to got it right and they are sending the 6 disc version and a prepaid return label.. so all good (but they outta get rid of that 3 disc version)
I already contacted Amazon (by phone no less) they only have 1 version listed on the web site, but the person I talked to actually understood the difference and was very helpful... they are overnighting me a new copy, supposedly making sure what's what (supposedly sending a notice to the...
I can't catch a break nowdays... I snagged 4 seasons of HOUSE from Amazon last week when they were $12.99 a season... seasons 2 thru 4, perfect... what do I get for season 1? The old crappy non anamorphic letterboxed version! Didn't they re-release this back in February in proper widescreen...
Two thoughts come to mine here...
FIrst, I've seen (heard) some pretty amazing work where vocal tracks can be extracted from musical backgrounds.
Second, there are some talented voice artists out there that could possibly 'recreate' the dialog in the affected scenes.
Now, granted, it this is...
If anyone happens to stumble over
a) 1x Season 1 and 2x Season 7 of Tales From The Crypt

c) 1x Seasons 2,3,4 of Lois & Clark
Please grab and drop me a note, I have paypal and not afraid to use it.
(I need a few Anime titles also, but let's not confuse things)
Oh lord, this could take a while - Space Rangers (Oz) Red Dwarf 1-8 and just ordered 'Back to Earth' (UK) Quantum Leap 2-5 (UK) (Single Sided, Music) Doctor Who (Classic) (UK) Doctor Who (New Series) (UK) The R1 releases lost some commentary tracks due to music issues) Life on Mars (UK)...
The SD broadcasts on FOX were lbx.. and since it's 16:9 anamorphic, we'll have none of the "oh... 16:9 masters don't exist" excuses for the studio screwing up.
Posted over in TVShows on DVD is the news that "Andy Richter Controls The Universe" is is coming out on March 24th. HOWEVER.... It contains this little gem.. "The 417-minute collection of 19 episodes will be presented in full screen video..." I'm hoping this is inaccurate information...
Most of the second season of She Spies is available on Netflix "instant watch" (in 16:9 widescreen no less) as is the 1st season (also 16:9.. but the discs were cropped 4:3, color me confused)
Don't hold your breath, from research I did when they originally released the animated, A&E SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED 4:3 CROPPED VERSIONS. This is where the joy of a region free player comes in to get them right.
Hopefully someone like Shout will take over some of those and do complete season sets, they really farkled She Spies, to whit.. - cropped 4:3, was shot wide and WIDEMASTERS EXIST (don't believe me? go look over on Hulu - Watch your favorites. Anytime. For free.) - really butchered the...
