Only 50 years? I'll wait. Maybe by then I can transfer it into my halodeck and play along with Sam and Al. :crazy:

Would you accept a black and white version of the Last Supper or the Mona Lisa as being "good enough" and appreciate it as much as one that is simply in its original color? The original music IS part of the original show and an integral part of it. We're not talking about a title/theme song -...

As soon as S3 is set to be released, I also heavily doubt there will be anything original in it. Until their sales drop to zero, this is what will now be "routine". I for one, am completely through with anything Universal calls a product.

I remember the BJ theme well "and best of all I don't pay property tax".....heh heh I would have never believed there was only 24 eps made. Wow.

Yes, I like their little disclaimer word that it "may" differ.....does that mean we won't know if it does or it doesn't unless we watch them? What they should print is that it "may" actually contain some of the original material. They'd be closer to the truth with that.

They've made their offical stance on what they call an acceptable product and to me, now more than ever, its a no-brainer. I won't be buying any more of anything Universal puts out. Until their sales drop to zero, they won't get it. They are going to push this whole series through in a cheap...

Sheriff Lobo! OMG.....Perkins used to crack me up - the one I really remember was Perkins reading a speech on 'bravery'..."What is bravery. Bravery is something you are born with." What was the blond haired guy "Birdie"?! I always liked Vegas and Spencer for Hire. Then I think "Hawk" was a...

Big John/Little John - Shazam and Isis - I remember them well. I wonder since Land of the Lost is coming (or is out?) if these will as well? What was the one with Diedre Hall - Wonder Woman(?) and Dyna-girl? Wasn't Patrick Duffy the Man from Atlantis? I remember his strange eyes and webbed...

There are so many guys on here who mention shows that were maybe 1-2 seasons.....some even less than a season and I say "I REMEMBER THAT!" that I wanted to start something where I could mention a few shows I liked - or remember liking when I was much younger - and see what you could all add (so...

I loved Earth 2 - but now that I realize its Universal, I know I won't be getting it until its proven beyond all reasonable doubt that nothing has been cut or replaced in it. And if Universal comes through as expected, I still have my original tapes, and I know they're good.

I have a list of notes that are with my collection of original broadcast tapes and noticed that notation. So I pulled that particular tape and sure enough, there was a 1957 fireman. After hearing all the music replacement news, I quickly checked a few of the mentioned episodes but never went...

The FIRST episode of Season 2 - in the original broadcast - shows Sam as a fireman in 1957 saving a cat - no explanation what he was doing there, etc...THEN he leaps into the cop on "Honeymoon Express". What does the S2 DVDs show? Now that I hear they have even botched it with original RE-RUN...

I don't know why they can't issue a complete box set - all 5 seasons for X amount of dollars. They could fix the error of their ways in that set. To drag a series release out for YEARS is rediculous. Have a complete set or individual seasons for those who can't afford it all at once. The...

Thats a great idea Dave. I had already gotten season 2, but hadn't had time to watch it yet when the reviews started. After an intact Season 1, I had no reason to believe S2 would be so hacked. But since then I HAVE ebayed both S1 and S2. Its all or nothing with their sets - I don't need some...

There's no guarantee you'll get a complete multi-season release anyways. I think its pretty self-evident the studios could care less what you think or want as long as they can make a buck by whatever means possible. No reason why they drag this out for years and years - its the same as...

I'm with Zack - no more Universal ANYTHING until I know as fact its ALL original. The more I think about it, I may pass on ALL releases until they are all out and I know I can have a complete, unaltered set. That way its either all or nothing.

Hi Steve - I hope so - its so common in syndication that its something I'd expect to see as a collection. And you're so right - every broadcast of it looks whipped. Do you know who owns Matlock? Remember that Andy Griffith short lived series called "Salvage 1"? Another lost show I'd love...

With some of the questionable choices of releases on DVD, I'm shocked that Matlock is never mentioned. I was never a Perry Mason fan, but for some reason really liked Matlock (maybe it was Linda Purl in Season 1 ;)) Course, the way the studios are going, maybe they are refilming any scene...

Dave - It is Del Shannon but a newer remix. IIRC (and I'll have to swap tapes in and out to verify) there is even one line in the show's (newer) version that is different. Someday when I'm really really bored, I'll begin sifting through all 3 copies I have and see what exactly has been...

I know this is an old thread but replaced music seems to be a hot topic. There are MANY replaced songs throughout this DVD set - I know as I have: the complete store bought VHS tape set; the complete set from USA Network syndication and most of the original broadcasts. One that stuck out...

Was there a re-release of Back to the Future - or was this just a figure of speech?

"With all due respect, make me wait!" Amen to that. I know that I will NOT be buying anything Universal releases again until I know for sure its an original unexpergated version. Meanwhile.....as I continue to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD, the necessity of even taking the chance with them...

Dave Allen is alive and well :) Found a couple sites: trishbennett.0catch.com/daveallen.html screenonline.org.uk/people/id/838629/ Apparently he's only 68 - when I saw him 30 years ago I thought he looked to be almost 50 then! If the Brits ever do release anything I may have to...

About 30+ years ago I was at my grandmother's house in north-central Ohio - she was the first person I knew to ever have cable. She had about 12 channels, one of which was Ch 9 from Windsor Canada. They showed a program called Dave Allen at Large, an Irish (IIRC) comedian that had what I thought...

Well, WHAT its actually like is anybody's guess. I've bought Asian DVD's of other shows that looked like they were made from studio archive originals, and I've had ones that looked like they were made from 15 year old VHS tapes and subsequently became nothing more than shiney coasters on my end...

That set must be a bootleg - it was on ebay a day or two ago and is now removed completely. The company that sells them is in Canada and has a message posted that "they are having problems with customs". Yeah....I bet. I wrote Universal and explained to them diplomatically how unhappy I was...

This is really such a shame - I imagine that for a few dollars more to the end user we could have had the series in its ORIGINAL form. Unbelievable greed. Well, when QL was originally on, we had one of those older 10-12 ft satellite dishes where you could watch feeds a day or two early than...
