    Picket Fences Complete Series DVD Question

    This appears to be a dvd set released in Germany, in PAL format. According to other sources, each episode has two audio tracks, one in English, the other in German. There is no mention of subtitles or captions in any language (although a complete set of English captions in the SRT format can...

    GILLIGAN'S ISLAND - DVD SEASON & SERIES SETS (2004-2012) - Pros, Cons, Incongruities & Imponderables

    My main reason for preferring production order is to avoid confusion with ongoing characters. "Hey, didn't that guy get killed in a previous episode? Why is he suddenly alive again?" "Didn't Lori already leave the Five-O team? Then why is she back all of a sudden?"

    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    The music in your download copy is not the original, night-of-broadcast music. But I'm glad you liked it. There's plenty more where that came from. That same Fugitive replacement music was used as background music when Yoko gave a live performance in exchange for a ride to Starbase 4.

    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    Thanks for the heads-up regarding Moon of the Wolf. I must have missed the news of its release in HD on blu. In addition to the aforementioned HD releases of Warning Shot and Superdome, David Janssen can be seen in HD in the following blu releases (although he generally has only minor roles in...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Darren McGavin's easy, breezy, two-fisted Mike Hammer is one of my all-time favorite detectives. I converted all of the episodes to MKV files, stored on a memory device connected to my Smart TV. I found that six of the episodes had damaged IFO files, making it difficult to convert to MKVs. I...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Honestly, you're making me wish that I had asked Santa for a T.J. Hooker set. "You go ahead and go home, officer Romano. I'll see to it that Stacy takes a shower after her workout."

    Favorite Christmas Episodes

    Just before Christmas, I always make a point of making a quick trip to the moon to get some fresh cheese. My guests always comment on its freshness!

    International DVD Announcement: The Alfred Hitchcock Hour (The Complete Series)

    Contemplating a purchase, but don't know whether to order the Fabulous Films set or the Viavision set. Is there a difference in video quality?

    The Thin Man (1957)

    Perhaps a few of the rare-video websites might have The Thin Man series. Thomas Film Classics comes to mind, as well as Loving The Classics -- both sites have a lot of rare videos. Google them.

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

    Better Call Saul complete series blu-ray. Been on a Breaking Bad binge lately. Bob Odenkirk is such a hoot.

    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    The role of Lt. Gerard's wife was played by two actresses. Rachel Ames made a brief appearance as Ann Gerard in Never Wave Goodbye part 1, and then Barbara Rush was given the meatier role of Marie Gerard in Landscape with Running Figures. Coincidentally, both actresses appeared in the 1951...

    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    I can imagine someone at CBS wondering WHICH audio clip they ought to use -- the one with Richard Anderson, or the one with the anonymous cop. It's easy to imagine that CBS decided on a compromise. "We'll use the Richard Anderson dialogue for the audio track, and the anonymous cop's dialogue...

    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    It's a mystery as to why there are two different versions of this scene. BTW, the conversation between Barry Morse and Richard Anderson was lifted from episode 2.13 "The Iron Maiden" at time index 30:56, wherein Lieutenant Gerard and Colonel Lawrence (Richard Anderson again) are discussing...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Converted my 2003 A&E Secret Agent/Danger Man set to MKV files. Had a problem with a damaged IFO file for "Not So Jolly Roger" but managed to work around it. Nice to watch this excellent series again.

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

    There is a logical reason as to why Mannix's hairpiece was so thick. It was constructed with a built-in concussion pad, mandated by his health insurance company.

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

    Is it true that they produced World of Giants only because they could make use of the large-scale props that had already been constructed for The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957) movie?

    Original Hawaii Five-O Complete Series Package

    I don't have the storage space to keep the packaging. It'll go into the Recyclables bin.

    Stacked platters! Ugh! Not quite as bad as cardboard sleeves, but a real pain in the neck. I'm putting them in quad cases, ASAP! ;)

    Original Hawaii Five-O Complete Series Package

    I did not mean to imply that the counterfeit discs are unplayable. Perhaps a misuse of the term "coasters" on my part. I suppose that I could give the counterfeit set to some unsuspecting person, but I'd just as soon use the discs as coasters or skeet targets rather than give someone an...

    Original Hawaii Five-O Complete Series Package

    I took Scott's advice and ordered the repackaged 2021 set from Deep Discount. It arrived today. I was almost afraid to insert a disc into my optical drive for fear that this would be another counterfeit set consisting of single-layer discs. But it turned out to be a legit set of dual-layer...

    Original Hawaii Five-O Complete Series Package

    I store my movies and TV as MKV files on digital storage devices; currently, a bunch of 5TB USB3 portable hard drives. I do have videos in high definition, but only for movies and TV that I absolutely love, such as the Dexter series. As for the rest, it's always a trade-off between file size...

    Original Hawaii Five-O Complete Series Package

    I was just trying to get the remastered Season 10 discs. Unfortunately, the remastered discs were never given their own season-set release. You have to buy the complete box set in order to get the remastered Season 10 discs. But it's become more trouble than it's worth.
