    WHV COMIC-CON ANNOUNCEMENT: Looney Tunes Platinum Collection Vol. 1 (Blu-ray)

    You're right about the Tunes of the early 30s but I wouldn't mind watching them even once for how these Tunes matured into the classics of the 50s. I'm a completest by nature and would buy old Merrie Melodies shorts because of their artistic merits alone demonstrating the humour and culture of...

    WHV COMIC-CON ANNOUNCEMENT: Looney Tunes Platinum Collection Vol. 1 (Blu-ray)

    Before I purchase this set, what I'd like from Warner Brothers Home Video is an assurance that this volume is the 1st of many more to come on BlueRay that will finally provide Looney Tunes fans the complete collection of shorts from 1930-1969. I have all the Golden Collection DVDs and with the...

    Looney Tunes Super Stars: Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote

    Of the 1,005 classic Looney Tunes (Jul. 1929 - Sept. 20, 1969), only 6 in this latest collection are part of that run. Question to you guys: I'm too lazy to look up my Golden Collection of Looney Tunes, but has "Adventures of the Road Runner (1962)" ever been released on DVD? I know it was...

    Looney Tunes Super Stars: Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote

    Is Warner gone completely daffy (pardon the pun)? They're releasing both the correct aspect ration for these shorts as well as a version to fit today's widescreen television sets. Here's a brain storm - release the shorts as they were created in the proper aspect ratio. So instead of adding a...

    The official 83rd Academy Awards Nomination and Predictions Thread

    It's amazing how no one seems to mention Despicable Me - the best Animated Feature this year. How To Train Your Dragon is definitely deserving of a nomination and before I saw Despicable Me thought that it will win Best Animated Feature but then Despicable Me was released and man, was that a...

    Rocky & Bullwinkle Seasons 4 & 5...Any Word???

    Don't forget that when we started purchasing the season sets in the early to mid-Naughts, they weren't selling for chicken feed - the avg cost of a set was $40 - $50. So for the Moose sets, I already paid $110 for Seasons 1 - 3 up here in Canada. Season 4 was only $14.99 (a steal). And you'll...

    New DVD releases of the Flintstone spinoff shows & specials and new BLU-RAY releases of the Flintsto

    Mark-P, you are so right. The other big difference is Alan Reed, the original voice of Fred; the new guy (can't remember his name at this moment) didn't have the right pitch to be Fred. Oh well.

    New DVD releases of the Flintstone spinoff shows & specials and new BLU-RAY releases of the Flintsto

    I'm a huge fan of the Flintstones but I'm hesitant in buying anything from Hanna Barbera related to the Flintstones after the 1960s iconic television show. Everything after that is not very good. I picked up on DVD the Pebbles and Bamm Bamm Show (1971-1972) and despite the voice of Sally...

    Lost: Season Six

    Wonderful ending to a show that pushed the limits on our patience in figuring things out. I had an idea from the beginning that they were all dead. Now, the theories: If you note all the memories that they all had dealt with pure love. Love is always the key to connection with others and with...

    Price of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck 2010 Releases

    I just checked both Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. The US version of Amazon has the price for a single disc Bugs Bunny Hare Extraordinaire August 2010 release at $17.49 plus tax while Amazon.ca has it selling for a $22 and change. Don't you think, in comparison to the Golden Collections which...

    Twilight Zone (Original Series) Season 1 Comes to Blu-ray

    Question: if one already owns the entire series on standard DVD, why would you shell out more money for the same thing? Is the "improved" quality that important given that the standard DVDs look great as is without BlueRay. I don't get this compulsion. As for the lost episode "Time Element"...

    What are your "Holy Grails?"

    All the top shows that I love have come out either complete or incomplete. But if there's a show or two that would throw me off a chair if they ever get released would be: Oscar Wilde's "The Selfish Giant" and "The Happy Prince" Two of my favorite animated Christmas specials ever. Also, why...

    The Flintstones-cut episode

    So what has been cut specifically? If the teaser is cut, good riddance - why include something that will be shown during the episode anyway? I fast forwarded those anyway including the opening title song is heard and started viewing when the story starts. But within the episode itself, what's...

    Hey Jeff, I have listed 1,005 Looney Tunes cartoons produced by WB. This excludes Pvt. Snafu, Mr. Hook, and all toons produced in the 80s and beyond. There are 374 released in the Golden Collection and therefore 37% complete.

    Inspector Cluseau - Volume 2 (Where are you?)

    I need some advice. I just found at Future Shop a copy of the complete Pink Panther cartoons which include the Inspector's 2 disc volumes at the low price of $39.99. Now, do I purchase the collection knowing that I already own all the Pink Panther and Aardvark toons. Individually, I purchased...

    Inspector Cluseau - Volume 2 (Where are you?)

    Anyone hear about the second and final release of the Inspector animated shorts? The first 17 shorts were released on March 4th 2008 and the second disc showed up in the Pink Panther & Friends Classic Cartoon Collection (released Jan 27th 2009); but will it be sold separately? I had already...

    Will Battlestar's Ending Dissuade You From Buying the Complete Series?

    HarryN, I'm sorry that you feel that way but I never spoil any show when I provide a comment. I gave nothing away about the show other than I wish somethings were a little different. TravisR said it best - it's only one man's (mine) opinion. Watch the last half of the season, there are some...

    Will Battlestar's Ending Dissuade You From Buying the Complete Series?

    Don't get me wrong, I loved this series but I just wished it stayed true to the theology it first introduced. The answer to the question of why the Cylons believed in the one true God while the humans believed in deities was never answered. That was a major hole for me for which I know that if I...

    Will Battlestar's Ending Dissuade You From Buying the Complete Series?

    I loved Battlestar Galactica (re-boot series) and couldn't wait to own the series on DVD when it would eventually come out as a "complete series" offering. But the ending to the epic series seems to be dissuading me from purchasing the series. I'd love to re-watch all episodes only if I liked...

    wkrp

    I thought exactly like you when I first bought the 1st season - so they changed the music, big deal, right? Well, I watched maybe the 1st 5 episodes before I said "enough is enough". I haven't watched another episode on this set since then and never will. I only paid $20 for the 1st season but...

    Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6--This Is The End

    Thank you so much for the recommendation (i.e. What's Brewin' Bruin). I watched it at lunch on YouTube here at work and just had to close my door. I was in stitches. The situations especially with the dripping water were pure genius. Great stuff, thanks.

    FINALLY.....RHODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    After reading the DVD Talk review, I immediately jumped over to Amazon.ca and cancelled my order of Rhoda Season 1. There's no sitting on the fence with me - if they can't get us an unedited version of the show, what's the point. How would you like it if scenes from The Godfather were cut and...

    Withdrawal Symptoms: Have You Suffered?

    I know what you guys are going thru. I, for one, am starting to feel the blues because I just finished the entire MASH series from season 1 to 11. I started back in July 2008 watching every episode and now that it's done, I really feel kind of down (probably what we all felt like back in 1983...

    Better Then or Better Now: Make the call on classic favorites

    This thread started as a great idea that's blossoming into something special. What I'm getting out of all your responses are suggestions for which show to get into that I never thought I'd be interested in. I've always stuck to the greats (All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore, Star Trek, Barney...

    Better Then or Better Now: Make the call on classic favorites

    Great thread: BETTER THEN: That Girl - the nostalgic look still holds up but the comedy and situations are so ho-hum today. Kung Fu - I loved loved loved this show as a kid and emulated Cain. Today, the fight scenes are so childish in comarison to the Matrix generation that you just have to...

    The Norman Lear Collection: Sony meatheads reach a new low

    The ONLY way I'd buy a set such as this IF and only IF, maybe, it would've been loaded with the BEST OF Norman Lear taking the top 10 favorite episodes from all his creations - then maybe. This way, what exactly do I have? For most of these shows except for All in the Family, which was great...

    The Norman Lear Collection: Sony meatheads reach a new low

    Do studios in general even bother asking what people are interested in? When I saw the news on TVshowsonDVD.com the first thing I thought of was....huh? why? who would buy this set? I wouldn't. I could picture this set at Costco in the next few months stock piled at $19.99 along with other sets...
