    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    Kinda eager to check out the Chuck Norris series, as I missed it in the `80s, but...does he get residuals ? Didn't know about his homophobia, don't wanna give the man a cent (yeah, I know he's already filthy rich and my lack of support won't do anything to the guy or his influential abilities...

    What's next for BCI?

    Did Super Mario really do that badly ? Because Shout kept releasing it to completion, which doesn't make sense since they're more likely to drop a series (out of necessity--they aren't as likely to do something like you guys did with Bravestarr and complete it despite the loss being almost a...

    Smallville: Buy Now Or Wait

    I forgot about Firefly, despite being a huge fan and being more than willing to double dip for the Blu-Ray (but not until I get a PS3 and I'm still waiting on that). And Serenity's. Yeah, I have a feeling Lost will be the first Blu-Ray too. And I won't be surprised if it sells huge.

    Smallville: Buy Now Or Wait

    There are so many quality shows to check out on DVD that you've probably missed (unless you're a voracious TV viewer--I am, but there're still a few HBO & F/X dramas I haven't seen yet, plus Weeds on Showtime and way too many potentially great network shows to name). I would say, rent or...

    Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons--what's the best DVD set to get 'em in ?

    To be fair to the studios though, when it comes to a property like this where they couldn't obtain the rights to everything and...correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think all the Looney Tunes cartoons had proper "seasons" the way a traditional network TV or premium cable season works...

    More Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. Any Hope?

    Anyone else remember Galtar and the Golden Lance from the `80s ? Heh, that's all that I can remember that I really want from Hanna-Barbera. But then I'm a sucker for straight-up action-adventure/fantasy/sci-fi cartoons and will pretty much buy most of 'em eventually.

    Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons--what's the best DVD set to get 'em in ?

    Man, sorry to hear about your dog. RichieMagoo said: I'm finding that comedy cartoons seem to get the shaft more often than action-adventure/fantasy/sci-fi. Although I should specify, older funny cartoons. Things like The Simpsons (which I'm not gonna buy anyway 'cause it's readily...

    Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons--what's the best DVD set to get 'em in ?

    Appreciate the help guys, thanks. I think I'll just go for the Gold Collections (but I'm glad I got that specified, 'cause there's a "Spotlight Collection" and something else that looked sort of like a complete set. Apparently there's also a very comprehensive set on Laser Disc that would...

    Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons--what's the best DVD set to get 'em in ?

    Hey guys, I found out recently that my boyfriend is a huge fan of the Warner Brothers Road Runner cartoon segments and I really wanna buy him some DVDs of it. What's the best possible way to get these ? He's a fan of the other Warner Brothers stuff too (Bugs, Daffy, Porky, etc), so if Road...

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    I bought this show back in January (or maybe December, can't remember) and finished watched it when I had some vacation in February. I love this set so much. It's funny, the characters are awesome, the parodying hasn't gotten old... I can tell a lot of the music has been removed and replaced...

    Gummi Bears to DVD?

    Yeah, I'm one of those Gargoyles fans (like many here). I think it'll happen eventually...the comics are doing well, apparently Gargoyles is publisher Slave Labor Graphics' best selling comic at the moment. Just might take a while to get Season 2 Volume 2. If Gummi Bears Volume 2 isn't...

    Gummi Bears to DVD?

    Yeah I just finished Volume 1 (Seasons 1 - 3) and would like to finish off the series as well. Pretty awesome bargain when it came out in November `06 too. Granted, there are no extras, it's very bare bones... The box claiming "47 episodes" is kind of a cheat though, given that many are...

    Sony to release "Transformers" (G1) series in 2007

    Kinda glad these aren't coming out anymore (or, at least, any time soon). Now I don't have to worry about being re-tempted.

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    So it was supposed to be in stores in February. Has anyone seen it on shelves? I've only checked the odd HMV, MusicWorld, and Sunrise here in Canada (Blockbuster too, but I never expect them to have much as far as lesser-known TV-on-DVD goes). Or is it still an Amazon.com exclusive and the...

    DVD TV Tells all

    It'll never happen, but screwing with network television would be sweet. Why would you wanna mess with Cable though ? Are we talking premium cable like HBO, Showtime, and FX ? That's who I'm thinking of when you say "cable. But yeah, premium cable pretty much gives you what you want (aside...

    Sony to release "Transformers" (G1) series in 2007

    Heh, yeah it still smarts to be faced with a re-release now even though I bought 'em three years ago. What?

    Sony to release "Transformers" (G1) series in 2007

    Aw man...I just bought the entire series of Rhino's G1 DVDs three years ago. On the one hand I kinda hope these suck so I'm not tempted...then again, I wonder if I could get back even a decent fraction of the crazy price I paid for the Rhino sets (especially Season 1 and both parts of Season 2)...

    Batman Beyond

    Does "Return of the Joker" have a definitive place in the series, between episodes or seasons? Have Bruce Timm or Paul Dini ever mentioned their preference for where it should be watched? I've heard fans say that it works nicely as a finale (until you get around to "Epilogue" in JLA, then...

    Blind Buys - how have you done?

    Oh cool, another satisfied new Gargoyles viewer. Now we just need another 99 thousand more blind buys or old fans rediscovering it on DVD (give or take) and, according to creator Greg Weisman, Volume 2 of Season 2 will be guaranteed on DVD. But yeah, that's awesome that you enjoyed it. It...

    Blind Buys - how have you done?

    Nowadays I do the same as Chris Lockwood above--rent most of my DVDs (though I use Zip.ca, which is the Netflix of Canada). It's the most affordable and risk-free way to consume TV-on-DVD (and films too, really). The one TV-on-DVD blind buy that I did go for was Six Feet Under's first season...

    Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.0 & 2.5

    Network shows are only bearable for me on DVD these days. I don't have the patience to wait from September to May for a complete story/season, with repeats peppered in between breaking up the flow. Lost is the only network show I make an exception for, but that's 'cause it's social TV with...

    Finally bought FIREFLY!

    David, the movie acts as a finale to the series anyway (or as close as we're ever gonna get), so it's meant to be watched last. Definitely don't spoil anything for yourself by watching it in between episodes. For a rough idea of what the rest of Season 1 might've looked like if the show hadn't...

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    After waiting for this series for so long and considering how much I loved it...yeah, I guess I better pre-order and support it ASAP too. Usually I wait for the day of release to phone and/or look around and see who has it for cheapest (HMV, despite being one of the most expensive DVD stores...

    Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM version) coming to DVD early next year!

    Awesome. Between this and the news about Captain N, I'll have almost all my essential video game-adapted cartoons on DVD. It's also very cool that they're putting out the complete thing all at once. It's ShoutFactory (responsible for the Freaks & Geeks Special Yearbook Edition, possibly the...

    Ninja Turtles, Volume 5

    I only bought the first volume (which comprised the mini-season that was Season 1 and also included some later episodes from [I think] Season 10, but no bonus features). Haven't got around to buying the following four yet. Do they get better? Is there any bonus material on them? I'm glad the...

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    Has any TV-show-on-DVD ever been an Amazon-exclusive before this? I know there've been other series like the Canadian series Edgemont that were exclusive to their home pages, but as far as I know this is a new thing for Amazon. I hope it doesn't become a regular occurence. Then again, if it's...

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    Maybe it's some sort of space-saving feature (is the set so packed with extras that they'd need it?). Or they thought they were being practical, that viewers who're marathoning the episodes don't need to see the opening multiple times on each disc. Who knows. How did you get the set Hank E ?

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    What do you think qualifies a release date for the "best" time ? Would they be looking at the least competitive week of the year for DVD releases? To coincide with the rising popularity of one of the show's stars? I guess both factors would be important to consider.

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    Irene Molly (Hunter) hasn't done any TV since Andy Richter Controls the Universe, no film roles either. She is into music though. Not sure if she has a CD or has put a band together, whether she's a solo artist... Lindsay Sloane (Marcy) is still busy with stuff. Al Santos has got a couple...

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    I got an e-mail update about Grosse Pointe almost four days ago from TVshowsOnDVD.com and finally got around to reading it. The synopsis in the body of the e-mail said, "Sony has pulled the series off the schedule." Then of course it prompts you to click the link to check out the full news on...
