Amazing Race on DVD? (1 Viewer)

That's a shame. I was told that they still hope to release them all, but I've doubted it would happen for a while now.

They should utilize customdisc.com or something and sell them exclusively online.

I have the two seasons of TAR that are on DVD and I find them very rewatchable. I don't listen to commentaries on other DVDs I have, but I make a point of listening to the ones on the TAR discs. Too bad there are no plans for other seasons.

 

[Walter C]

That is really too bad. This is one of the few DVD sets where I actually watch the extras. And this coming from someone who doesn't really care for extras.

 

[Mike Frezon]

That is too bad. We are big Surivivor fans in my household who recently got turned on to the Amazing Race. We thoroughly enjoyed Season 1 and have been patiently waiting for subsequent sets to be released. We saw Season 7 when it aired (and other recent seasons). We now may have to pick S7 up to get a "fix".

We would LOVE to see the earlier seasons released.

The release sequence for Survivor is also pretty darn screwy.

 

[AnthonyC]

Is there any chance that Paramount could license this to another company? Maybe Shout! Factory?

 

[AnthonyC]

I'm sure I'm just going to be disappointed, but any news on forthcoming releases? I'll even buy the Family Edition...

 

[AnthonyC]

Good news!

Woo hoo! That would be perfect for my family...because we were latecomers to the show. Bring 'em on!

YAY! This is fantastic news! I was wondering if I should tape All stars because I know it's going to be good. But now that I hear they are coming back out on dvd.. I'm sure All Stars won't be far behind..

So happy AR is coming back to dvd!

Bad news: Gord told me that Phil was mistaken. It's so irritating that they aren't even attempting to do anything to save the show on DVD--lease it out to another company, actually advertise the sets during the show, even a higher price point.

Especially since season 2 was the best one. And we haven't heard anything about Survivor yet either. Damn, I hate Paramount. I wish they actually had a customer service department that actually did their job.

 

[Gord Lacey]

No....that's not what I said:


I'm still going to ask around and see if anything else is coming.

[AnthonyC]

I apologize for the miswording.

Thanks for checking, I really appreciate it.

 

[AnthonyC]

Possible good news?

From an interview over at TARFlies with Kevin and Drew:


I'll agree with Tribefan here (although season 2 > all ) but All Stars is better than nothing. I really hope this is true.

 

[Walter C]

I hope so too.

But I'll hold off on the excitement until TVShowsOnDVD reports it.

 

[Josh_HI]

i hope he is right... all stars has been one of the best seasons IMO! SO MUCH BETTER than Survivor and Big Brothers AS seasons... Here's hoping they release all stars and every other season 2 and up afterwwards!

 

[Gord Lacey]

I just sent off an email to Elise Doganieri to see if she has any info for me.

Gord

 

[AnthonyC]

Awesome, really appreciate it, Gord.

 

[Gord Lacey]

Elise wrote back - "Wish I had some new information for you, but I don't."

Bummer.

Gord

 

[AnthonyC]

Thanks anyway, Gord.

This is getting very annoying...I can't imagine that they sold so poorly considering all the demand I've seen for them. Then again, it's not like CBS did any real promotion for them.

"The Amazing Race" is likely my favorite show on TV (yes, I know, strong words for reality fare)

But I LOVE the show...and I have really enjoyed the two releases that I currently own on DVD.

It is about more than the competition. My wife and I like to travel, and it is fun seeing all of the different locales around the world featured each season.

Unfortunately, seasons 1 and 7 were released around the time when TAR: Family Edition aired. That was one of the least popular seasons of the show.

You can count me as someone who'd purchase all of the seasons if they were released. I absolutely love them.
