I saw a newspaper vending machine today. So they're not quite extinct after all (I was trying to think of just when I had last seen one after reading your post yesterday). Perhaps fitting, it was outside on the sidewalk in front of the historic Crystal Restaurant located on Public Square in...

Out of curiosity as one that just recently got their first VEI release (the McMillan & Wife complete set), do they make a habit of not even trying to conceal the layer change? On almost every disc in the first two seasons, I notice a brief hiccup when that happens. The most recent time...

Until people start watching them, 46 minutes doesn't mean that it's cut. It just means that the episodes in question are running 46 minutes. The reason for why that is requires a deeper look than just looking at run-times. Hopefully this is largely a case of time-sped transfers being used...

Is it a pressed disc?

That's my understanding from reading this thread. VEI's complete release for Hotel lacks the remastered versions of season 1's episodes that CBS had earlier released themselves. It's not a show that I'm familiar with, but I believe I've correctly summed up the situation and the speculation that...

I amended my post with a couple of quotes that will hopefully clear things up and make the recent course of conversation in here a bit more clear. The gist is that we've been curious about why the season 1 remastered HD transfers of Hotel weren't utilized here for VEI's own set that CBS had...

Sorry, I was thinking that there were five seasons even though the set was right here in view as I typed that. I blame watching a lot of The Dick Van Dyke Show so much lately with its 5 season run that I think is just about the perfect amount for a great show (Although if a good show is able...

CBS didn't remaster those though. The syndication bible notes that only 22 miscellaneous episodes have HD transfers for The Phil Silvers Show, which are what was used for 2006's 50th anniversary release (Although apparently some didn't make the cut or perhaps they started on season 1...

Who got a remastered first season? If you're still talking about One Step Beyond rather than something like Barnaby Jones (where I think the verdict is still out on what transfers were used for season 1?), there's nothing odd at all about it. The situation happened because it was free for the...

Those are all in the public domain, are they not? I don't see how CBS had any say in matters.

I wonder if it's really the fault of CBS or if VEI had the misguided goal of providing a consistent level of quality, deliberately opting instead for these older season 1 transfers in lieu of the remastered versions? I hope that wherever My Three Sons hopefully ends up, that not only will the...

I wonder if we have a terminology issue? I never associated jitter with video transfers. If not, I wonder what size tv you're viewing these on? I haven't moved to the giant size that represents so many televisions these days, so perhaps I'm not noticing something that's an inherent problem on...

Sounds like how Cheers on Hallmark looks. It will look very good one moment and then when the camera changes, sometimes it will look just awful. Then seconds later, they can switch back to that same camera perspective that just looked terrible and suddenly it looks pristine again. It's like...

Hopefully they at least don't do something foolish and go for consistency by using older transfers for season 1. There's surely a number of fans out there that skipped season 1 for various reasons that will want this complete release, and they deserve the best quality transfers available.

Even if they're not, I still see this as further good news for fans of popular classics like My Three Sons, since it clearly shows that they're more than willing to license properties out that they're not interested in releasing on DVD themselves. So hopefully if it's not VEI, it's somebody...

Nothing for me with this round, but promising news just the same to see more CBS licensing going on. Hopefully My Three Sons will be joining The Phil Silvers Show one of these days and be released by an independent. While I guess you can't dismiss the possibility of Our Miss Brooks appearing...
