    Vintage TV Movies: DVD/BD Labels, Websites?

    This may be old news to some, but Kino Lorber has released several Made-For-TV-Movies on Blu-ray and DVD. You may have to do some digging on their site to find them. https://www.klstudioclassics.com/ This is a partial list of what I came up with: THE MIGRANTS (1974) SCREAM, PRETTY PEGGY...

    Wonder Woman Soundtrack

    I know there are a few TV Soundtrack collector's here and I thought you might like to know that Warner Bros. has announced an upcoming release for a 3-cd Wonder Woman TV Soundtrack. It will be available May 9 from La-la Land Records. http://www.wonderwomanmuseum.com/soundtrack.html

    Warner Archive Instant "relaunch"

    Warner Archive Instant is running a 40% off special on this channel right now. They still give you the 30 day free trial with it. I couldn't justify $9.99 per month for this channel on my Roku with it's limited offerings (most of which I bought on DVD back when they used to put out those...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    It's Walmart. I asked Shout! about this and they said it would be Walmart for the first few months before being obtainable as a general release. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Death-Valley-Days-Complete-First-Season-Collector-s-Edition/49095620

    Kolchak: The Night Stalker

    Has anyone else had problems with their Kolchak Region 1 DVDs? I took one of the discs out to watch last night and it just wouldn't spin up. I took the disc out and it is all cloudy in spots. I checked the other ones and they are the same way. I looked at the cases and sure enough, they all...

    Lost In Space: The Complete Adventures (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Really, really excited about this release! Didn't get the awesome deal that some other members got, but satisfied paying the $129.99 from Foxconnect which is less than I paid for the crummy prints on the DVD releases some years ago. (Was going to order from Amazon but they couldn't seem to...

    Mannix is Coming! (All things Mannix w/spoilers)

    Just picked up the complete series pack for $77.08 (includes shipping) in U.S. dollars from Amazon.ca. Just too great of a deal to pass up. Haven't seen this show since the 1970's and look foward to re-living it again!

    Avengers: Season 5 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    You're absolutely right, Will. I'm not wiling to settle for the BDs and support a company that puts out a product with half-hearted measures and then blows off their customers when they dare question the quality of the product. It's my choice to speak with my wallet (as Harry-N put it) and send...

    Avengers: Season 5 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    hmm...let's see:(I'm leaving the audio pitch out of the equation as they are obviously going to be about the same.)$126.64 for all 5 seasons (6 if you count the inclusion of the surviving episodes from the first season), 576p transfers taken from properly restored HD masters, a decent bitrate...

    Avengers: Season 5 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    My apologies if I read the above post wrong or mistook it's meaning. I am indeed looking forward to the bonus features alone on the 50th Anniversary set. The Honor Blackman years (which I find just as good as the Rigg years) have got to look and sound better than what we got on the A&E...

    Avengers: Season 5 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I realize that the audio is going to be the same sound pitch. As I stated in a post I made yesterday (that you replied to), if we're going to have to sit thru PAL pitched audio, then we may as well go all the way and get the entire restored series from the U.K. (You, yourself stated that the...

    Avengers: Season 5 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I emailed Lionsgate about the issues with the audio and whether or not they would be fixing them. They won't even acknowledge that there is a problem with the discs even though I also provided a link to this thread. I also asked where the "Free with purchase" digital copies were. They...

    Avengers: Season 5 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    The picture/video is stunning on this release compared to the soft/blurry A&E discs. I don't know if this helps or not with the audio but if you are running your BD player through a surround system, try setting the receiver to 2 channel Dolby stereo. It gets rid of that fake 5.1 surround and...

    Avengers: Season 5 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Hey, don't shoot the messenger! I'm just reporting my observations on the physical media. The audio is pitched higher/faster than the A&E releases. Period. Trust me, I've been watching my Avengers DVDs for years and the difference is there. I have no idea how they screwed this up. (They sped...

    Avengers: Season 5 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Haven't posted here at HTF for awhile but thought I'd chime in. Received this BD yesterday and have skimmed thru a few eps. The video is outstanding! I have been waiting for decent prints of this series for years and am very happy with the prints. The contrast is a little off here and there but...

    TV shows and TV movies gone W I D E

    I believe Roswell (1999) was filmed in Widescreen and broadcast in 4:3. When the DVDs were released they were in the original widescreen (1.78:1) format. Netflix broadcast some seasons in 4:3. When we watched the show initially on Amazon Prime, all the seasons were in the widescreen format...

    SPACE: 1999 Season 2 Coming To Blu-Ray!

    Good points, Martin. I love both seasons of this show for different reasons and want both seasons on Blu-ray. Also, for anyone that's interested, I used the "contact us" form on the A&E website and asked them when Season Two on Blu was going to be released and this was the reply I received: I...

    Alfred Hitchcock Hour

    We've been DVR-ing and DVD-R-ing these as well. It's not an oft-seen show and I have to say these episodes look to be re-mastered in Hi-Def. The Encore prints are pristine!

    Has Fox dropped the Ball??

    Wow. Just...Wow. Great job and a Great list! I had no idea that Fox controlled so many properties. And here I thought only Sony deserved my consumer contempt for controlling, sitting on and not finishing anything......

    Has Fox dropped the Ball??

    Great post! I hate 20th Century Fox with a passion. I get angry all over again for what they did (or didn't do) to Lost In Space every time I pop in one of the DVDs to watch. (and to think I pre-ordered Season 1 for $54.99 when it was first announced.) Room 222 could also have looked much...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    I had originally ordered all 3 seasons from DD at those low sale prices and, of course, I received an email from them informing me that Season 3 was no longer being manufactured. They did ship both Season 1 and Season 2 to me so I went to Amazon and bought a new copy of season 3, from a seller...

    DVD player won't play Mill Creek DVDs

    Same here. I don't know if it's the various chipsets they use in the players which affect playback or if it's the coating they use on DVDs. Maybe the coating varies in quality from studio to studio. But that still wouldn't explain why some players can handle the cheaper discs and others can't...

    How "realistic" is finding your "Holy Grail?"

    Year by year box set release of all of those great ABC, NBC Made-For-TV movies and movies of the week from the late 1960's thru the 1970's. Unrealistic? Yes. But I can dream can't I? :D

    DVD player won't play Mill Creek DVDs

    I think it depends on the kind of player you use. We have had the same issues ourselves with some Mill Creek, Timeless and Infinity releases and even, occasionally, a Warner or A&E release! Our problem seems to be our main player which is a newer Panasonic BD player. Some of the above studio...

    battlestar galactica and space 1999 remastering.

    I was really excited when I heard about Space: 1999 Season Two getting released on Blu-ray and was just wondering the same thing about this project the other day. I hope A&E follows through with their plans as I will snatch this one up in a New York minute if it is given the same treatment as...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Route 66 - Complete Season 1 & Route 66 - Complete Season 2 Love this show but too bad about the awful prints & audio. Since everything is going "streaming digital" (I don't think I ever will) now instead of reg. physical DVD products, I thought I'd better snatch these up as I doubt we'll see...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    I found a coupon online for 20% off and Free Shipping at Time Life so I bit the bullet and bought The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Collection. I've been anxious to purchase this set and didn't want to wait until it hits the general retail market. (if it ever does)
