MisterLime, Any chance that Kino could release the 1979 movie "Scavenger Hunt" on Blu-ray? It's a Fox title, I believe. The movie only had a fullscreen VHS release in the 1980's. It's a movie in a somewhat similar vein to "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". It had a long list of famous actors...

Don't apologize for the length of this, John. In this case, the length of the post was appropriate. Great post! The second one was good as well.

Thanks for the information, David. I appreciate it. :)

David, can you check the Season 3 Mill Creek set for the running time of two episodes? Most TV episodes of this era, including Bewitched, average roughly 25:30. On the Season 3 set, most episodes average 25:20-25:30, which indicates they're complete. The Ben Franklin episode was edited and I...

I know Mill Creek will just use the same Sony transfers but I was curious about two other Season 3 episodes and whether they're unedited or not. When it comes to TV shows, the episode run times are actually extremely consistent when the episodes are the uncut versions. If you look at run times...

Dragnet would be my first guess, followed by Lassie in 2nd, then Death Valley Days.

Did you ever check Season 3 on the Complete Series set? I don't have the Complete Series set yet. Since "Ki'ls Don't Lie" is a Season 3 episode, I don't mind them including the syndicated version as a Season 1 bonus since it was a different version that wrapped things up on Magnum. It's nice to...

Thanks. :)

I know this is an ancient thread. Did anyone ever confirm edits on the Three's Company episodes discussed in this thread? Ralph's Rival Mighty Mouth In addition to these mentioned for Season 4, were there any other episodes or seasons with edited episodes?

I have the first season in b&w from Sony and it does have the 1966 titles.

I think this episode should have been included as well. It can't be a content-related "ban" by CBS/Paramount when you consider all the deaths, murders, and suicides we see on shows like the new H50, the CSI's, NCIS, and the like. This episode is tame by today's standards and would have been tame...

I'll definitely pick this up as soon as it's released. Hopefully they can get the clearances for the Oswald episode. I wonder what the other episode is? I loved watching this show as a kid. My sister and I never missed it. The subject matter was interesting enough, but Nimoy's narration made it...

There was music cut on US sets and maybe all regions. She did four songs. This was the only one cut. Here is the missing music and footage from "Trouble in Mind" to compare with the DVD: http-~~-//www.mjq.net/fiveo/season3/troubleinmind.MP4 I do hate music substitutions and usually skip all...

I have a question about this series on DVD. I've been a fan of this show since elementary school in the late 70's and have watched it fairly consistently in reruns. I still haven't got around to buying the show on DVD and I'm ready to pull the trigger now as Amazon has a good deal on Seasons 1-9...

Adam, So far, it looks like there have been no easter eggs found. Can you check with Lucasfilm when you have time and find out what the story is? Thanks. :)

No problem, Mark. Glad I could help. :)

Mark, this is a bit long but I hope it helps. It depends on how much of a completist you are. I am one myself. The VHS tapes with Leonard Maltin interviewing George Lucas are the last VHS release of the original theatrical versions. They're known as the "Faces" release. They were released on VHS...

Ben, Jamie Benning is the guy that created the three visual commentaries/documentaries for the OT films: Star Wars Begins Building Empire Returning to Jedi Adywan is the one who created the Star Wars: Revisited and Empire Strikes Back: Revisited fan edits. :)

It was actually Jason Wingreen from "All in the Family" and "Archie Bunker's Place" that voiced Boba Fett originally. :) He did a much better job than Temeura Morrison, whose voice replaced his in the 2004 version of ESB.

While I would prefer the scene not be in the film in order to preserve his reveal in Jedi, that's not a bad idea regarding leaving Jabba as the original actor, Doug. I like it. That wouldn't have bothered me in the least as I'm not really a fan of the whole Tatooine/Jabba segment in ROTJ to...

I agree with you on the Ewok movies and the awful Holiday Special. The Holiday Special is one of those things that some fans want for the sake of owning an official copy even though it's extremely difficult to sit through. I don't care one way or the other on its inclusion. The Ewok films are...

:D In this one, he's going to CG Han's leg and have it bump the table, making Greedo's shot go offline. It's the only way to explain Greedo missing from less than two feet away. ;)

Great post, Kevin. I agree with you on our being in agreement. ;) I remember that backstory well. You seem to love the backstory and behind-the-scenes material as much as I do. I never tire of watching it, reading about it, or hearing about it. I'm actually one that wishes they had put all the...

Kevin, I, as you obviously are, am a longtime fan of this franchise going back to the beginning. I own all the books and materials as well, going back to all the original Starlogs and even all the Bantha Tracks newsletters. There's nary a book that I've missed throughout the years on Star Wars...

I agree wholeheartedly. Cost is not the issue.

He wouldn't be going back on that statement, Kevin. When it came to THX-1138 and American Graffiti, the studio had final cut and made changes he disliked. He got those changed back and had his true director's cut of THX-1138 in 1978, if I remember the year correctly. The Star Wars films were...

I agree with Neil. It would make things a little more convenient. We have these four threads: -Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Hands on Report -Lucasfilm on Star Wars the Complete Saga Blu-ray: Part II Matthew Wood -Chance to talk to Lucasfilm about the new Star Wars Blu-rays...

I agree. I haven't seen them up close like you have but discs 7 and 8 look great on paper. Disc 9 and the lack of certain special features is where I take issue. They included three of the four classic docs and the new 'Conversation with the Masters' yet used nearly three hours on spoofs and the...

I'm taking it as yes and no. In other words, I think it will just be excerpts from the Holiday Special. I could be wrong, but the words "challenge, but" tell me 'some, but not all'. As Travis mentioned, I think we'll get the Boba Fett cartoon from the special. Maybe even some of the ridiculous...
