BTW Gord, If its modern television, most of those dvds come out on some kind of basis, whether its quarterly, 2x a year or what. Classic television isn't released on any schedule whatsoever. With shows like Jeffersons (which saw extremely long waits between S1-3, S4), All In The Family...

Hi Gord, love your site btw... You may want to inquire as to what the wait was between Season One and Season Two, much less Season Four. If it was over a year or two wait, there's your answer for the drop off. The average consumer has a very limited attention span (something Marketing...

Thanks Robert! I still check the news on TVonDVD.com because I would like to buy more TV on dvd but what's being announced currently does not interest me either. Like you, I'm all for Classic TV on dvd!;)

Not angry at all. More, I feel sorry for you. By your continuous posting in threads about tv on dvd that you have zero interest in, you are advertising that youhave way too much time on your hands and should find more constructive, positive things to do with your time than come to post...

Absolutely. In their know-it-all-arrogance, they prove they don't know it all, after all.

Amen, brother.

This is the first time I've come to this site in a long time. I used to post about the shows I wanted to see released or state why I believe a series release did not 'perform to expectations' but was continually put down by some of the know-it-all-people who come here and trash the posts...

It really is a downer when you think about it. There's way too much quality vintage material not making it to the market. I wish Warner would even license their material out so one of the smaller companies (who don't have the high overhead / unrealistic sales expectations) could release them...

Not true. I Love Lucy began as Volume sets. I know, I bought them. Paramount then went back and repackaged them as complete season sets and now even offers full series sets. I'm waiting for Full Season sets of Love Boat as well, or a full series set with a box the size and shape of a...

I think it would be smart to release Knots Landing: The Complete Series. They say KL Season One didn't sell to expectations and that might be due to the way it was released and priced (13 episodes for $40.00). Also, the first season didn't do too well in the ratings either, which was why...

He's right and the dvd set is worth the purchase. I have the show complete on dvd and they did an amazing job.

Hey, I did it for Knots Landing back in the day -- and boy am I glad I did. I have every single episode on VHS from the first episode to the last plus the reunions. It's over 53 VHS tapes which I'm now in the process of transferring to dvd but hey, a consumer can't count on studios anymore.

I'm a big fan of Dynasty but will definately be passing on that release. I just don't want to pay the price Paramount is charging for 1/2 season. 'Maybe' I might change my mind later if I can find it for under $20 but even then, I'm hesitant. Paramount used to release I Love Lucy in season...

They may see the B rating and give it a thought but when they see the price, most likely, they'll put it back down. Every other studio charges for a full season, what Paramount is delivering for half the product; same price but half the goods. People aren't stupid... that's why it was the...

I'm an enthusiast and I've had to cut back on all my non-essential purchasing... that includes collectibles and dvds. Everything -- from bank fees to the price of gas and milk -- has risen, except paychecks. Something has to give, a person can not not pay their bills so that means...

You're probably right.

I did read the review, the entire thing. However, when the first sentance of a full page review goes something like... "There are so many reasons NOT to buy... " then in the same sentance states "...its not even a complete season..." MOST people, the average Joes (not the enthuisast...

Well, it looks like the fans are not alone in the bitter distaste of Season- Volume releases from Paramount. In the latest EW (#981, March 7, 2008), a full page dvd review of the Love Boat follows a headline article entitled: Ship of Fools From the first paragraph of the review...

And like the company spokesmen these people keep trying to be, Joe has come here to defend Paramount's practices (when they don't even do it themselves! Ha!), about a dvd he has no interest in. Spoken like a true message board troll!

Then Travis, go to the other thread that's about SPLIT SEASON RELEASING and stop telling people they're turning a gift horse away. It's not a gift if it costs twice the price. And besides, you're not even interested in DYNASTY so all of you who aren't, stop justifying your trolling behavior.

No Joe, don'tdeflect off the issue. This is a thread about DYNASTY - SPLIT SEASONS - BAH HUMBUG. Read it again: BAH HUMBUG. Again: BAH HUMBUG. Again: DYNASTY. Your posting in a thread about a dvd you don't even have any interest in and wouldn't own even if it was for free. You keep...

Hi Joe, And I mean this in the kindest way, no anger... but if you couldn't care less about Dynasty and wouldn't own it even if it was given for free, why are you posting here? This is a thread about Dynasty and the fans of that show who may be a bit peeved because now they may have to pay...

Excellent suggestion Aryn. Time Life has done it for Get Smart and one other show I believe. If they released that way, I'd be more inclined to buy.

Travis, I'm not mad at you. I don't even know you. That said, I see you only when you post, which is quite often (look at your post count, your over 7600 postings), most of the time, in threads about a dvd release you aren't even interested in, just to tell people a) a series didn't sell...

I guess you missed my point Jeff, and I'm not here to flame you. a) I'm not a 'hardcore' Dynasty fan. b) I'm not even a 'hardcore' tv on dvd fan anymore. c) I don't believe the studios 'owe' me or anyone else anything. What I find particularly odd is not the people who come here to...

Let me say I'm glad for anyone and everyone who is buying the show in volume sets. Anyone who enjoys the show that much and is willing to pay whatever it costs to get it out there should be happy. For the rest of the people getting all defensive in favor of the studios telling people we...

Hi Joe! My distaste for Volume sets is simple as I stated in the post above this one. a) Mostly it's the price as Ben noted. What should be costing me anywhere from 30.00 - 35.00 for one complete season (as most studios charge for vintage shows released seasonally), is now costing double...

Then it's also not your place to say whether a product sold profitably or not. If you can't back up your statement with factual sales data to support your claim, you really shouldn't be speaking on behalf of that studio in terms of what did or did not sell. Because if we all took your...

You say Dynasty Season 2 did not do well in sales at all. Pls back up your statement with factual sales data.

I agree with you Ben. This seems to be Paramount's Method of Operations now. They have done it for Mod Squad, Love Boat and a couple of others. Mod Squad and Love Boat are in 1st seasons so I doubt sales have anything to do with it. Frankly, it's a step backwards and I don't care what...
