    Crystal Ball Time!

    Good for you.....heres a newsflash for you: Your not the only one reading these forums. Many people DO like and enjoy speculating and guessing what the possible upcoming release could be. Like someone else said, no one is forcing you to click on the topic. Pretty simple!!!

    Crystal Ball Time!

    John K. is spot on....I for one love it when Gary or Neil have some news about a possible upcoming release. Part of the fun is trying to guess what it could be.

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    Carter, it depends on which branch of FedEx it is. IF its FedEx Home Delivery, they deliver Tuesday - Saturday. They do saturday delivery. If its FedEx Ground or FedEx Express, they are Monday - Friday. So if it happens to be FedEx Home Delivery, you will probably get it on Saturday if...

    USHE Announcement: Columbo: The Complete Series

    Thanks for the info Jack. I will check out the link. When Columbo originally aired, i was too young to enjoy it. But not too long ago, i thought i would give it a try and liked it so much, i ended up getting the first 4 seasons on dvd. If the Blu-ray versions are anywhere near the original...

    USHE Announcement: Columbo: The Complete Series

    Jack, hows the picture quality on that Japanese blu-ray set? Is it a noticeable upgrade over the standard regular season sets released here in the U.S.? Just wondering because like you said, i wish Universal would've released a U.S. blu-ray set. Depending on the price, i would snap it up in...

    Happy Days: The Complete Series: The Ultimate Edition?

    The phrase "walking and chewing gum at the same time" comes to mind. Believe it or not, most of us are able to deal with the present and the future and yet at the same, still enjoy rewatching the past history of television. Just like music, a lot of us don't enjoy any new music from...

    WANTED: MCHALE'S NAVY (1964) AND MCHALE'S NAVY JOINS THE AIRFORCE (1965)!!!!!!

    As of today anyway, I know Deep Discount also has the movie double feature in Blu-ray. I actually went ahead and ordered it today. In my opinion, the tv series McHale's Navy is one of the funniest sitcoms EVER, especially if you like Tim Conway and Joe Flynn. The chemistry between those two...

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

    Jack, your whole post is spot on (3 posts ago - #808). Your post really sums up how many people feel about the current state of tv, especially network tv and why they are so turned off by it (current tv programs) compared to tv from the past. You hit the ball out of the park!! Great job!!

    The Honeymooner Lost Episodes 60th Anniversary Edition

    To each their own.. I'm just saying MANY Honeymooner fans like the "Lost Episodes" as well or better than the "Classic 39". And as someone else pointed out, MPI does not have the rights to the "Classic 39", hence the title of this new release is the "Lost Episodes" 1951-1957. Hopefully...

    The Honeymooner Lost Episodes 60th Anniversary Edition

    Joe, you hit it out of the ballpark. Theres not much I can add to your post. The "Classic 39" are great. No doubt about it. But most of the "Lost Episodes" are also great in their own right. Gleason and Carney are hilarous in most of these skits. There are a lot of Honeymooner fans that...

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

    I for one am glad people like JoAnn that are super knowledgeable about a tv show take their time and write up details about a show even BEFORE its released. Mannix, for instance, is a show that I don't remember very well because when it aired I was too young to appreciate it. So when the...

    Top 5 stalled shows you want to see completed

    My list would be: 1. Petticoat Junction (just some great good ol' fashioned humor) 2. Beverly Hillbillies (more good ol' fashioned humor with silliness) 3. Green Acres (a bit whacky, but love the characters in this show) 4. Barnaby Jones (Wasn't sure if I would still like this...

    The Honeymooner Lost Episodes 60th Anniversary Edition

    Just a note to all Honeymooners fans out there. It looks like MPI is releasing a new boxset on October 4th containing the lost episodes restored (1951-1957). It will be interesting to see how these episodes look compared to the ones MPI released on dvd years ago. Some of those looked pretty...

    The Honeymooner Lost Episodes 60th Anniversary Edition

    Just an update; I see that TVshowsondvd.com now also has a writeup on this upcoming boxset. I really hope MPI did a great job on this. This show definitely deserves it.

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

    Hopefully Mannix will continue on; a great show, but theres nothing wrong with Steve stating his opinion that the lawsuit could very well reduce the chance of that happening. Maybe, maybe not. My first instinct was the same thing: DEPENDING on how the lawsuit turns out, this could really hurt...

    Gunsmoke on Encore Westerns Question

    Chris, you called it....It looks like Encore Westerns skipped over "He Who Steals". Directv's satellite guide showed the description for "He Who Steals" for today, but what Encore showed was actually "Two Tall Men". As Chris mentioned, they are scheduled to start season 11 on Monday; On...

    The Donna Reed Show: SEASON 4

    Is Manufacture on Demand the future of TV on DVD?

    Totally agree with you Brad. I have classic sporting events from the 70's transferred to dvd-rs and some of them on cheaper brands will not play any longer. They were only handled by me. But they were on cheaper brands. Of course now, I back up everything to Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden. I have...

    Is Manufacture on Demand the future of TV on DVD?

    Theres no doubt that dvd-rs are less durable. Thats not even up for debate. Go to the AV science forum and you can read all kinds of stories on cheap dvd-rs failing. I have some cheap memorex dvd-rs from 5 years ago that won't play any more. I also have verbatim dvd-rs from 5 years ago that...
