    Blu-ray Review Blondie: The Complete 1957 Television Series Blu-ray Review

    Thanks for your support of our label. We looked at JILL (and lots of other Roach properties) early on, but only had so much capital to advance and ended up doing - Todd/Kelly - Public Defender - Blondie - Merrily We Live - Zenobia - Streamliners Collections (2 of the 6 Volumes are OOP and 2...

    Blu-ray Review Blondie: The Complete 1957 Television Series Blu-ray Review

    This is wrong. The law states "Programming that contained closed captioning when originally aired on television" must have CC. BLONDIE had no such CC when originally aired. The reason most broadcasters do so is because they meet the threshold of a larger broadcaster/streaming provider which is...

    Blu-ray Review Blondie: The Complete 1957 Television Series Blu-ray Review

    You are greatly misinformed. We licensed the rights to BLONDIE in 2018 and scanned the 26 episodes from 35mm film to put on DVD that same year. They are on TV now only because we scanned them from film (which doesn't have CC on them) and it was part of our deal that the rights holder could...

    Blu-ray Review Blondie: The Complete 1957 Television Series Blu-ray Review

    Thanks for asking, but no specific teasers on the next one coming except: - it's from the 1950s - it's never been released on home video - it is likely on the short list of many classic TV fans as most wanted That's all I can say for now as my guess is just about any minor specifics we give...

    Blu-ray Review Blondie: The Complete 1957 Television Series Blu-ray Review

    Thank you to you both. We restore and present classic TV on BD/DVD because we love these old shows (and because no one else is touching them!). To give even more context, we released ABBOTT AND COSTELLO - SEASON 1 on Blu-ray a year and a half ago. Bob Furmanek and his team produced the...

    Blu-ray Review Blondie: The Complete 1957 Television Series Blu-ray Review

    Also, the reason this is available at all on TV or streaming is because we took the gamble in 2018 to license the series, pay an advance, pay tens of thousands of dollars to restore. If we hadn't taken that risk, the series would still be in the vaults deteriorating away... Additionally, it is...

    Blu-ray Review Blondie: The Complete 1957 Television Series Blu-ray Review

    Exactly. We are a tiny company in a subset of a shrinking physical media market and we'll be lucky to sell 3,000 units of this title on BD. And while we put subtitles on our top line feature film releases, TV already takes several months or years to recoup costs (even then it's a risk to go...
