This is probably because the magazines don't really "review" DVDs. I'd be surprised if many of the discs actually went into players; they spend a lot of time talking about the show, and usually mention a few special features at the end (likely reading from a press release). The sad thing is the...

Sorry, I don't have a consumer email address for them. Gord

Marco, are you talking to me, or to a Dave? I'm the one that posted the info to the site and have been responding to things in this thread. Dave Lambert, or any other Dave, hasn't posted a thing in the thread. Yes, something like a PAL-NTSC sourced transfer would be mentioned on the site if...

That's already happening. I was speaking to someone for a story about the quick "Dukes of Hazzard" releases yesterday, and happened to mention this issue. He was madly typing away and I said, "Oh, is this another story?" His answer, "Oh yeah, you're just filling up my space today!" Gord

Casey, stop kissing ass (just kidding). It's a very, very fine balance that has to be struck. I can't tell you how many times the studio person on the other end of the phone has been less than happy with something that was posted to the site. We rely on most of these people for the...

I understand that music replacement is an issue, but it's something that isn't going to be solved easily. It involved studios and music companies getting together and finding a resonable pricing solution for the cost to license songs. I don't consider music replacement to be a sloppy release...

SCTV has tons of edits in it; you may want to take that off the list ;) Twilight Zone features a few episodes with wrong opening titles. Gord

Apparently the new ALF set mentions the syndicated versions were used. I haven't seen the set myself though. Gord
