Season 2! Woo hoo! On my list. In fact...I'll have to put Season 1 on there too. I'm a little slow.

Shame there won't be any DVD extras this time. But at least the third season is being released. Hopefully the fourth and last season will be out on Region 1 before the end of the year.

Has anyone here bought the recently released third season Region 1 DVD boxset of Tales from the Darkside? What is the print quality of the episodes like? Are there any music edits?

I have it. The music has been changed(like the previous releases). It is very well done though. Looks fine. Episodes run about 22 minutes.

I am still on the first disc of season 3 but I wouldn't know about the music edits since i can't tell any differences so far. Video quality seems to be on par with first 2 seasons. I recommend the set for sure.

I'm going to wait till it hopefully appears in a future TV on DVD sale at DeepDiscount. Received my copy of the second season on Wednesday, and the three discs have no scratches on them compared to when I bought it from PlayUSA (and had to return it).


The music edits in the first and second season sets, unless you remember seeing the episodes when they first aired, you wouldn't tell the difference? I don't think the theme tune has been changed in the first season set, based on some of the episodes I tested out in the first season set.

 

[Radioman970]

Looks like I'll just be waiting on a full series set. I'm REALLY slow on this one. I've been going through about 4 or 5 other classic shows like it, including TZ, Outer Limits (original) and House of Hammer Horror.

 

[Powell&Pressburger]

I don't think Paramount will be releasing a complete series set other than all the seasons just shrinkwrapped together. They did the same with FRIDAY THE 13th The Series, and most Paramount releases dont get full series box sets. Even a show like CHEERS they just do shrinkwrap bundles. You might as well purchase them as they get released or when you catch them onsale thru online retailers.


I usually pay more for them as they get released but I have a friend at work who just watches prices on amazon and deep discount DVD and he gets them under 20 a set.

 

[Radioman970]

Amazon's marketplace is excellent for getting stuff like this. I guess I'm like your friend. I won't wait for a series set. Thanks for the info.

Season 4 is up for pre-order at Amazon. SRP is $36.98 and release date is 9/21/10.

Thanks for sharing this release date information. I had a feeling that if the fourth and last season was being released on Region 1 before the end of this year it would be in September. The second season I think had a September 2009 release planned, but was delayed until October 2009.

I was thinking about purchasing tales from the darkside. I wanted to check to see if i should purchased this set. I love night gallery and it is my understanding that tales from the darkside was similar to night gallery. Any thoughts/suggestions?

 

[Justin Boggan]

I have been compilling a list of the composer for each episode of the series and I am almost done. I have spent nearly a year doing it via re-runs (when I could catch them -- always aired when I was in bed!) and YouTube videos. I am hoping kind fans will help finished off these remainders:

 

Season 1:

"It All Comes Out in the Wash"

 

Season 3:

"My Own Place"

 

Season 4:

"Payment Overdue"

"The Apprentice"

"Barter"

 

 

If anybody is curious to see it:

Has anyone here purchased the fourth and final season, and what is the presentation of the menus and episodes like?

I have watched the first disc of the final season, and it seems the same as the previous seasons... Same menu style design with Play All Feature or episode to episode. As for presentation of the episodes the transfers never impressed me but I am glad to finally have the full series on DVD.


It wouold be cool it they could release MONSTERS next.... if CBS owns that one?

A new DVD pre-order listing has appeared on Amazon UK, HMV.com and Play.com for a Region 2 release of Tales from the Darkside: Season One, with a UK release date of Monday 21st November (source: Amazon UK). 3D front cover artwork is below (source: Play.com): The episode commentary on the pilot "Trick or Treat" by George A. Romero is listed as a DVD extra on Play.com's DVD pre-order listing page. All 24 episodes have been passed by the BBFC, but not the audio commentary for "Trick or Treat". Note the Revelation Films (and CBS DVD) logo on the side spine of the DVD case. As well as the Irwin Allen series and Rawhide, Revelation Films are branching out into other TV genre shows. Great stuff.
