Thanks, Randy! Yes, I do very much love THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, and have been a fan since childhood, BUT I'm also extremely limited financially, these days. Thus for me, any possible upgrades from the DVD format really have to be more than of the marginal variety, which this clearly is by your...

Going off topic a bit Randy, but did you happen to check whether "The Darlings Are Coming" Season 3 episode on the new TAGS Complete Series Blu-ray is the same edited version that's minus "Salty Dog" and the tag ending, as is on the old TAGS Season 3 DVDs? That you say the old HD masters were...

I say go for it! Give 'em an earful!! :laugh: Furthermore, if you can, maybe record the annoying buzzing sound onto a device and play it back to them to illustrate your complaint! :D CHEERS! :)

Yeah, looks great for upscaled DVD....MAYBE!! :rolleyes: CHEERS! :)

I'm merely reporting what others have observed, which widely varies with this release. CHEERS! :)

As I see it, the bold section might be key insofar as the reported baked-in jaggies/combing, particularly screen size and the relative viewing distance from said screen! CHEERS! :)

Good question!

Strange is definitely appropriate! Disappointing, but still clearly in HD and better than the Sony DVDs vs. old non remastered SD transfers with the combed effect and clearly inferior to the DVDs, is a real head scratcher! I've also reworded my previous post for clarity. My still forming...

Could it be possible that 2 different sets of transfers were used for this I DREAM OF JEANNIE Mill Creek Blu-ray release by mistake, with some sets getting the HD transfers and other sets getting the old SD transfers? This is making less and less sense, otherwise! CHEERS! :)

Sums up the train wreck.

This set is just sounding more and more like a total train wreck.

One thing that puzzles me about the new I DREAM OF JEANNIE Blu-ray release by Mill Creek is the mix of people who say it is at least better than the Sony DVDs, with others who insist it is a hot baked in interlaced mess, and the Sony DVDs look better! Why such a huge disparity? I'm just trying...

I remember getting the completes series DVD sets of I DREAM OF JEANNIE and BEWITCHED for something like $16.88 each as Christmas gifts for the Mrs. about 8 years back. That price made the colorized Seasons a bit easier to swallow! CHEERS! :)

I thought the IDOJ Mill Creek DVDs had the 2000 copyrights on the first season, as well. So much confusion! CHEERS! :)

Thanks for your helpful insight, Bryan! It is mind boggling to me why the decision was made to go 1080i for a filmed TV series? It just doesn't make any sense! CHEERS! :)

Of which the biggest of the shames appears to be that Sony didn't provide Mill Creek with the best available transfers. In my opinion, that is positively inexcusable on Sony's part! CHEERS! :)

My understanding is all of the Colorized transfers bear the superimposed 'copyright 2000' logo, which doesn't appear on this Blu-ray set. Whatever other shortcomings exist on the new IDOJ release, it appears the elements used from Season 1 are original Black & White (As opposed to...

From what I've read, over compression is only part of the problem with this IDOJ Blu-ray release. There is also significant buzz that the best available transfers weren't even used for this release. To me, it's pretty bad when a reviewer states the one thing they are certain of is that the...

At least the prints for Season One are original Black & White, rather than merely decolorized!" Sadly, obviously interlaced, though. CHEERS! :)

So Season 5 of IDOJ doesn't stream in at least entry level HD (720p+) anywhere, then? In my recent viewings, I found Season 5 to be the weakest, for what it's worth. CHEERS! :)

I viewed that review. You could sense the pain behind him having to be brutally honest about just how shoddy a release this is! :(

I literally just finished viewing the complete series Sony DVD set, which I had bought as a Christmas gift for the Mrs. several years back, a couple of weeks ago. Given all of the recent reviews, I should have tried accessing the Roku channel, instead. Oh well. CHEERS! :)

This does not look pretty, I'm afraid! From "Cereal At Midnight": My review seems to be one of the ones that is being mentioned, so I wanted to come here and verify/clarify. Having compared the Blu-rays to the streaming episodes on The Roku channel, the streaming versions look better, and...

Mill Creek "Mill Creeking," basically! :wacko: CHEERS! :)

Compression issues with Seasons 3- 5 already having 13 episodes per disc, perhaps? Weird choice, nevertheless! CHEERS! :)

Cereal at Midnight probably just overlooked it, as he had just literally unboxed the set. CHEERS! :)

I believe the transfers are straight up from the HD versions of IDOJ that have been airing on TV in the last few years. What you see there (Including whatever opening themes were used for said transfers!) should be what you get on the Blu-ray Discs. CHEERS! :)

FINALLY, the unboxing! :) CHEERS! :)

It must be a real b*tch for lower to middle rung physical media companies to survive under today's conditions. CHEERS! :)

Somebody who posts on the other forum said they emailed Mill Creek the distributor for the set and was told the delay was due to production issues. Take that as you will. CHEERS! :)
