Mill Creek just needs to admit that they royally screwed up the BR physical release, fix it, and re-release it under a new SKU/UPC so you don't have a chance of getting one of the bad copies.

IMHO that BR release isn't worth the box in which it's packaged. Outside that it's not in true HD there are just too many issues to make it a viable purchase. You're better off with MC's DVD release, which isn't that good either. If you're a fan you want one of the Sony releases (either as...

And unless all the issues have been corrected (very highly unlikely) then it's still overpriced by around $39 (basically they should pay you to take one).

After no word from MC about the many issues with this set and that my Sony DVDs look just as good, if not better depending on the episode/glitches present on same, I set up a return. Mine came from Target so I plan to just drop it off at the service desk for a faster refund (they'll credit it...

I'm still struggling over whether or not to return my copy as I really would like to hear from MC what, if anything, they're going to do about the many issues. Even then, I don't know that I'd want to wait an indeterminate length of time to receive a replacement should that be an option.

I got the impression the reviewer only did a cursory viewing by sampling several episodes as *none* of the issues outside it being 1080i were mentioned.

There are several "reviews" of this set on Amazon now - they're uniformly bad, echoing many of the things we, here, are saying though none have mentioned the audio and video glitches at this point. Most are focused on it being 1080i instead of 1080p and that it looks only marginally better, if...

I noticed that and thought it somewhat ironic considering his very strong ties to IDOJ's biggest "competition" in the original broadcast years.

Yeah, I watched that "reunion" movie last night. All I could think was how horrible and embarrassing it was. Like most such efforts it suffered from a terribly written script full of lame humor attempts and just bad direction and acting. Even Eden often sounded forced when delivering those...

It's been too long for me to remember this issue on the Sony set and it's boxed up, not easily accessible (plus the boxes are not inventoried so I have no idea which one), so I'm not digging it out just to verify. However, if that *is* the case then it makes it rather obvious that the MC BR...

Not 100%... They had an issue with an episode of S1 of The Outer Limits and issued a replacement disc. There was another, different, issue on an episode of the S2 release of The Outer Limits that they chose to ignore in spite of several complaints and detailed descriptions of the issue (which...

More issues - the first 3 episodes on disc 2 (the 2nd BW S1 disc - Episodes 11-13 - E12 seems to be the worst of this group) and episodes 6 & & (show episodes 16/17) have the same "flickering/jumping/bouncing" issue as on S2E31. Like with the S2 episode it's totally random but if it happens in...

There may be more "color vibrancy" but the BR is also darker than the DVDs. That, alone, will hurt resolution in some areas of a shot. I'm currently watching my new copy of S1 of Public Defender - A 1954 series that was "rescued" and put on DVD by ClassicFlix. It looks better than the BW S1...

Yeah, I have a couple of VEI releases where the player thrashes quite a bit while loading an episode. It normally settles down once it starts playing but it's quite disconcerting.

I was a "DVD only" person for a very long time after BR came out, much for the same reason as you. I caved when Star Trek:TOS remasters with *original* vfx were only released on BR. I liked my DVDs but had seen screen shots from the remastered video and it was significant enough that I...

While what I've watched so far isn't "stellar" it *is* a bit better looking than the DVD, but it's marginal. I got out my BW S1 set (the easiest one to access) to compare a few episodes. Both suffer from the same things - soft focus on many scenes and some contrast issues. These issues could...

It's there... I stepped through some of those segments where it occurs, frame by frame, and don't see anything to cause the issue that way but played back at speed you get what looks like frame jumping/bouncing. Very odd...

I ordered my set from Target - just got a shipping notice and it's supposedly going to arrive Saturday.

Well... NBC's parent company at the time, RCA, was the primary reason NBC was pushing color so hard. More color shows allowed RCA to sell more TVs so there was that vested interest in the process. ABC and CBS kind of drug their feet because they didn't want to promote a competitor's product...

In addition to NBC cutting corners and both NBC and Screen Gems feeling the show would never make it to S2 (Sheldon *wanted* to film in color, offering to pay the difference out of his own pocket, but Screen Gems' Jerry Hyams advised him against it), I Dream of Jeannie's first season was in BW...

What puzzles me is why would they put a "15 years later" reunion special on the *first* disc? You'd think that would be better as a bonus on the last disc of any season, especially the last disc of the set. I'd *never* watch that while watching S1.

Sometime overnight. I noticed it this morning when a new release I'd set an alert for came back in stock and was no longer included.

Crying babies in sitcoms *never* sound like a real crying baby. I've always disliked that in a series of any type. Make it sound real or don't bother. Of course, even real crying isn't something I'd want in a sitcom and rarely find humorous.

I've not had any issues with them lately but also don't order much from them any more. Maybe an order every 2 or 3 months depending on price + % off code. They package stuff like most people lately - a "self sealing" corrugated envelope thing or bubble mailer depending on the size of the...

Yes, but this one has extra shipping added. They do that for titles with large numbers of discs (and sometimes not so large a number). Just one of the little "gotcha's" to look out for when ordering box sets (or board games) from them. Look for that little "Additional shipping may apply"...

It's not quite as good as it sounds as deepdiscount adds $2.99 shipping on that title making it only $2 less than Amazon. Once it releases though... a DD %off sale will make it more attractive. The other thing to consider is if it drops in price at Amazon you'll get the lesser price (if...

Cool! I own a copy of that one but have not yet opened it. I'll be looking for them...

I tend to avoid Mill Creek's DVD releases as they put a few too many episodes on a disc for my tastes (and they can be a bit over compressed to boot). BUT - I have only minor issues with their BR releases. I own several and they all look very good. My biggest complaint with their product is...

Not with a R1 release. That's a region free German release that's not currently available on Amazon US (at least not that I can find). Right now it's ~$135 w/shipping from Amazon Germany.

I'd not payed attention until you mentioned it. It's very close but looks to be a double or model made up to look like her. The mouth and nose aren't quite right and the eyelashes are not sculpted properly.
