Thanks for the information! Definitely an alternative for me in Sweden. Has the "Most Wanted"-box subtitles? I know that the new "Complete" does not. So in the German edition I even get English subtitles! If you please could confirm that these disc don't have the sync problems I think I will go...
but to be honest, i dont see the vast majority willing to spend double the amount of money to get these sorts of changes.
Of course not, but the more interesting question is why anybody should have to pay double to get the original music? If it is because some big royalty was paid out to...
I have to admit that I haven't double checked if they would send replacement disc abroad, I just drew that conclusion from other contacts with other U.S. companies and from what I've read. Some years ago it wasn't even possible to call a 800 number (which I presume this is?) from abroad (today I...
Again, I would like to point out that the replacement disc phone call is not an option for customers outside the U.S.
And when I buy a product for 100+ USD I would like to know that that product is OK from the beginning. The least that CBS could do is to recall all boxes that they KNOW has...
Could be that on the more expensive "most wanted" box set, part of the money earned went some unknown that sits on the music rights?
But on the inexpensive new set, maybe they don't have to pay anything for the music (assuming that Heyes has already been paid one and for all)?
It's frustrating to NEVER be able to order a "correct" set of this series.
Even if one would buy the expensive "most wanted" box you can't be sure to avoid problems (and disc replacement program don't work overseas)
Slightly off topic, but I just learned there is actually a new Perry Mason revival movie in the works in Hollywood with Robert Downey Jr. at the helm. This could introduce Perry Mason to a whole new generation of readers:

Nice price, but I presume they haven't sold all the faulty ones yet, so I have to pass until I can make certain that I will get the corrected discs. Replacement programs doesn't work well with foreign orders... :(
With all this restored music (that previously was so impossible to include and even made them partially rescore some of the music) makes you wonder how they have solved the issues? Have they paid lots of money to somebody for the inclusion of the this music? I guess we will never know for sure...
Five weeks and not a word to explain what this is really about!
Unbelievable sloppy behaviour!
I was looking forward to the complete collection since I never got around to buy the season sets and what are we left with now?
How hard can it be to put out a decent press release??
Yes, I've read about the format change for the better in season 2. It has also been mentioned in the interviews on disc 1 & 2 of season 1. One thing that strikes me is that they removed all the (then) high tech computers that are often used in season one because it was hard to understand by the...
Also watched the pilot about a week ago, and have seen total 8 episodes of season 1. I'm quite favourable towards this series, which we never got to see in Sweden at the time it was made. It was probably considered to violent then. Out of the 8 episodes I only considered one episode below par...
In Sweden we got to see this series twice, the last time it was televised was in 1980. As a teenager I enjoyed it immensly, but when reflecting today I can see the flaws more clearly. But I will definitely buy this one for old memories sake. When I checked today, I noticed that there was only 13...
Take a look at this clip from 2008 where Curtis & Moore are reunited after all these years. It looks like Curtis really is surprised of Roger Moore's appearance. (you can skip the first 4 minutes)
According to Wikipedia the Australian edition of Ellery Queen also contains the earlier TV movie Ellery Queen: Don't Look Behind You which Levinson and Link co-wrote under their pseudonym 'Ted Leighton'. This filmed was based on the book "Cat of Many Tails" (1949) which many consider to be their...
In my opinion, the problem with "I Spy" are the scripts. They are fluffy and unbelievable. Sometimes Culp & Cosby just hang around the place they visit and ends up in some kind of trouble. I thought agents had a mission when sent out in the world? And how many episodes involves a romantic...
The name "Ellery Queen" means very little to today's audience, hence the addition of the word "Mysteries", I would presume. But that could have easily been solved in another way, for instance "Ellery Queen - The Complete Classic Who-Done-It TV series". I also would have liked another cover...
Could we notify the guys at tvshowsondvd.com about the pilot movie? Maybe they can contact E1 and ask? And maybe, maybe they can inform E1 that there is a pliot movie that they should include in the DVD box? Since the release is more then 4 months away it should be possible to correct this (if...
Fantastic news! I never thought this would happen, thought the followers of this series was to few to raise any interest to release it.
I certainly hope they don't "forget" about the extra long pilot episode! And that the episodes will be complete, of course.
Dare we hope for some extra...
Almost every cartoon made 1928 - 196X has already been released in WDT. The remaining - a few Chip & Dale and a handful of others that didn't make the rarities edition - isn't enough to fill even one DVD, I think. They can of course fill out with more pre-1928 cartoons (Alice, Oswald) and some...
Isn't the terrible cover of season 1 & 2 one further explanation to why people won't by this? I don't understand why a company that (more than the big ones) rely upon good sales can produce a cover that's impossible to like.
