I definitely understand music substitutions, but why is "One For The Road" butchered? That's inexcusable.

I'd love if they made the sans-laugh versions from the early '90s Cartoon Network airings available as an alternate audio track, a'la the M*A*S*H sets.

I think a release like this could happen sometime down the road. While NBC owns the show, their relationship with Letterman is certainly better than it was in 1993, when they were threatening to sue him for bringing things like the top ten list and Stupid Pet Tricks to CBS, stating that those...

Any news/rumors on the future of Cheers on DVD?

What I don't get is why, if the series supposedly sold so poorly, they'd release up to season eight in a three-year release period?

Maybe there are issues with the 200th episode special holding up the release of season 9.

Does anyone have any sales figures on the first eight seasons of Cheers?

I'm surprised this is the first time Parenthood is seeing a widescreen release. Comcast has had it on demand in high-def for quite some time.

I bought some Friends best-of in early-mid 2001, when they first started releasing those. If I remember right, it was two discs and had ten episodes (I don't have it anymore, since my affection for the show has long since waned). My first season set was The Simpsons Season 1 in 2001.

It's just bizarre - we had one release in 2003, two in 2004, four in 2005 and one in 2006. With the four that came out last year, many of us had expected to own the whole series by now.

It was MSNBC.

I've never heard of this being done. The only hour-long episodes of sitcoms I have on DVD are ones that originally aired that way.

In my area, Comcast also has an Encore and MoviePlex HD OnDemand section. Try and see if you have it. Look under "HD On Demand."

I noticed that Jeopardy! and Wheel Of Fortune are now broadcasting in HD. That seems to me like a big step, as it's the first time I've noticed something on a broadcast station in high definition, other than network programming and a few local news segments. Are there any other syndicated...

I'd kill to have these on DVD. Maybe Belo can work something out with a small distributor.

I have the Ed Sullivan set that includes all four Beatles appearances, and they include all but the cigarette commercials.

KXLY in Spokane, WA does the same thing for all their non-network, non-HD programming. It's absolutely dreadful.

My Fox affiliate shows The Simpsons (and all the other Sunday night cartoons, for that matter) in 4x3 with the "FOX" logo in blue on the right side of the screen.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. And it's not just series, either. It's movies, too. Sometimes they'll get a 4:3 transfer of a movie and stretch it to 16:9, or they'll stretch 2.35:1 to 1.78:1.

I, too, think it was George Hamilton. James Caan pretty much worked exclusively with Phil and Andy in his episode.

Reviving an old thread, but I think it fits: has anyone noticed that the episode with James Caan includes no end credits?

As someone who was planning on going to see Returns this afternoon, I thank you, Jeff, for the spoiler. Please, tell me more, so I can save my $8.

I think the original NBC airings of NewsRadio (save for season five) included a full opening credits sequence, while the syndicated versions rolled the credits over the first scene. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Doesn't MLB's contract with Fox expire this year? Hopefully, when MLB re-negotiates their contract with Fox or elsewhere, this issue will be resolved.

As discussed in this thread, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" was replaced in Cheers season 7 by "Unchained Melody." Licensing rights, understandable. So I just bought season 8, and what song appears in the very first episode? "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." Bizarre. Discuss.

Well, the ones that originally aired as such, anyway (with the obvious exception of 'Our Finest Hour").

That actually spawned an entirely new series, Still The Beaver (later re-titled The New Leave It To Beaver), so it would make more sense to include that in a DVD release of the newer series.

That's interesting. I wonder how much money Sony wanted to re-license the song.

Good Will Hunting is screaming for a tenth anniversary edition with an anamorphic transfer.

As long as Peter Mewtilator doesn't touch these remasters, there's hope.
