    Which quality television shows deserve to be put in a time capsule to be opened 100 years from now?

    I'm not sure how to answer the original question. Do I choose for my own interests, or do I choose for the sake of history? Do I choose high-quality shows with limited interest (at the time), or do I choose shows that were "typical" for the era? A more intriguing and answerable question came...

    "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" - Where is it?

    It looks like it's coming. I'm thrilled, even though I'll have to change my avatar...

    Duckman?

    I preordered from Amazon a few days ago, and I got the notice that it shipped out yesterday. :emoji_thumbsup:

    Batman ('60s series) STILL NOT coming to DVD! (Major update post #52)

    I'll believe it when I see it listed on Amazon and nobody's whining about how much they changed the original episodes.

    MELROSE PLACE Season 5, not coming?

    I sympathize with fans of the show, but I'm not interested in any of the missing MP seasons. After You Know What happened at the end of season 3 and Who Cares Who bit it in season 4, I lost interest in the show originally, and I can't see it changing now. BTW, I think the rest of the seasons...

    Who else here only watches 1 ep per week?

    I've never been as organized as planning out a schedule for my DVD watching, though I have occasionally thought about doing it. Basically, whatever I'm in the mood for I'll watch. Shows I'm not familiar with or have forgotten about I'll watch in episode order; others I'll pull out a specific...

    What Is Your BEST & WORST Blind Buy TV On DVD?

    Only one true blind buy and it worked out well - "Here Come the Brides". Good as it was, it was definitely losing momentum the farther along the season got and with the whispers about adverse changes coming in season 2, this is probably as far as I go with this one. But season 1 was good and...

    TV on DVD on demand?

    Intriguing. "Parker Lewis" is a Sony product, so it got my heart racing a little. But the devil is in the details, and there just aren't many of those available yet. We'll see.

    Ability to play DVD's in 20 years?

    My opinion is that DVDs are a few years away from oblivion. On Demand will take away some of it, but IMO the real revolution will come with memory sticks/flash cards that you can either plug into a multimedia device attached to the TV or into the TV itself. At first, TV series would be split...

    If you could release 10 shows on DVD for 2008 what would they be?

    "Duckman" is promised for this year, and that was on my list, so that's good. The rest of my list (not in order): * "The Watcher" * "The Tracey Ullman Show" (all seasons or best of) * "Parker Lewis Can't Lose!" (seasons 1-2) * "Savannah" (season 1) * "Freshman Dorm" * "Hull High" *...

    Beverly Hills, 90210 Season 3

    Thanks for the review, Tom. A couple of comments: Perhaps because "Commencement" was already released on VHS some years ago and they got the rights then.

    Beverly Hills, 90210 Season 3

    It's on my Christmas list, so I'm sure to get it sometime in the next year. That's plenty soon enough since I have all the episodes on tape. What I'm most curious about is if they cut out all the songs from their own soundtrack. This was the season they released it, y'know, and they played at...

    Beverly Hills 90210 SEASON 3

    90210 had its own soundtrack which was released during season 3. They played all the songs from it at one point or another on the show (and some had mini-videos during the closing credits, as mentioned). I wonder how many of those songs are going to survive the cuts.

    Bad News on Parker Lewis Can't Lose

    Thanks for sharing. The good news is that Sony does seem to realize there would be a profit in bringing the show out of the vault. So maybe they'll do it themselves, sometime...

    Books that were made into TV series?

    Well, that didn't take long. I should've remembered those, so one slap upside the head, coming up. Thanks folks. Keep 'em coming.

    Books that were made into TV series?

    I was thinking about "Freshman Dorm", the books and the TV show, and I was trying to think of other television series that were made from books. I couldn't think of any. * There are some made from comic books, but I'm not counting those. * There are many made from movies that were also...

    My top 5 most-wanted DVD releases (2007 edition)

    Hmmm, so many choices... I'll make a list of eight, so I can include a couple of TV mini-series. These aren't necessarily in order: * Amerika (mini-series) - Alternate reality about Russians conquering the USA. Chance of release (see original post for scale) - 2. It came out on VHS many...

    "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" - Where is it?

    PLCL is on my short list of shows that I'm interested in. I'd even buy the third season - which I wouldn't ordinarly bother with - if I could get the first two. The show may not have aged well, but I'll take that risk.

    How many of you are finished collecting ALL the TV show DVDs you plan on owning?

    Of the shows that have been released or officially announced for release, I think I'm about done. The only ones I'm interested in that I don't have is Seinfield-4 and the Warner Bros. Cartoon Collections (technically not TV, but that's how I got to know them, so humor me), and those can wait...

    tv show you'd buy but will never make it to dvd

    The Watcher and Freshman Dorm would seem to have a combined chance of about zero to make it to DVD. Be sure to remind me if I'm wrong.

    Would you buy a set for only one season?

    Each season of each show is judged on its own merits. I only buy the seaons of the show that interest me. That said, I'd say most of the series I have/want on DVD had very short runs, so the issue is moot for them.

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    For the fun of it, I've decided to provide a mini-review of this show. So far I've gone through the first 9 episodes, which is all the episodes on the first DVD. I haven't gone through the extras yet. Well, let's start with the bottom line: This is an excellent, excellent show that is...

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    Well well. It looks like Amazon has finally found those missing boxes, because my copy has now shipped. Perhaps others will have theirs shipped also. Check those orders.

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    I'm sure the five of us who are still interested have read the latest news, so I won't bother quoting it. I'll just comment that Amazon is now showing "usually ships within 4 to 7 weeks", but my estimated ship date hasn't changed. Goodness knows when the thing will finally ship for real...

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    It started when I found a hold on my credit card from Amazon. It wasn't for the full amount, so I went to my order page to find out what was going on. The other DVD I ordered at the same time as GP was ready to ship, but GP was showing a ship date in mid-January 2007. Amazon asked me to...

    GROSSE POINTE on DVD

    Looks like it's been delayed again. The current best guess is mid-January.:angry:

    Single-season wonders that deserve a DVD release

    Corrections: Angie and Savannah both lasted for two seasons. Herman's Head ran for THREE seasons. Its name is Woops!, and of course it only lasted one season. I've listed my favorites elsewhere, not that they "deserve" a release or anything like that. Most of them only lasted one season...
