Hey, Bob, a quick question.

I noticed that season 2 is both sold and shipped by Amazon themselves, while most of the other Classic Flix releases on Amazon are usually sold by ClassicFlix directly and only shipped by Amazon.

What's different this time? A new deal with Amazon, maybe? Or am I reading too much into it.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Sorry Stan, I don’t know, that’s a question for our good friends at ClassicFlix!

Always laugh at their terrific routines.

Absolutely! Pre-Ordered at DeepDiscount!

I always liked season 2 better than season 1, although I love season1!
Season 2 reminds me of A&C films like The Noose Hangs High.
More story and plot and less routine oriented.
Both are different, and both are great. A& C fans need both in their collection!

Season 2 was somewhat different without Bud & Lou standing on stage at the beginning of each episode in front of an audience and no title sequence with a montage of their films, however I enjoy both seasons and will be picking this up. I do miss Hillary Brooke in Season 2, but happy that Sid Fields and Mike The Cop were still around. By the way, I bought the DVD collection from E1 Entertainment when it came out years ago. I thought the quality was pretty good until Classic Flix released a much better edition of this, especially being able to buy it on blu ray. I will probably just sell my old edition, but hang on to the bonus features disc, booklet and post cards that were in the E1 release. It's unfortunate that these weren't included in these great releases, but I guess legal issues and the expense involved didn't make that possible. Anyone on here buy the original E1 release and have any thoughts on it, including the extras? Maybe David from ClassicFlix could let us know if any extras like the ones in the E1 edition had been considered for their release. At any rate, thank you for putting this fun show out with much improved picture and sound quality. Like the art design on the covers too.

We had 10 commentaries on SEASON 1, plus some other great bonus material. SEASON 2 comes with commentaries and some additional material, but to a lesser extent.

This was a 3D Film Archive produced project, but 1) acquiring content from other labels isn't as easy as one would think and I don't believe porting over those features was considered and 2) while a good number of our projects are loaded with bonus features (like A&C SEASON 1), as a label we typically will prioritize restoring the content over bonus features as there is only a limited amount of duckets to go around.

Thanks, David for answering my questions on that. It does make sense about being difficult to include extra features and acquiring certain content. All in all, your releases of this are much better than the original DVD ones from E1 albeit without those extras. No slight meant to E1 though, but ClassicFlix did a terrific job on A&C.

The new ClassicFlix releases are the first time the 35mm camera negatives were scanned and restored. All previous releases used standard definition transfers from fine grains that were done in the early 1980s.

There's no comparison!

Hey, @ClassicFlix - a quick Q... Can we expect the season 1 blu - ray to be back in stock on Amazon anytime soon?

I wanted to order both seasons at the same time so that I can watch them back to back, but atm it shows the season 1 release as "currently unavailable".

Thanks in advance for your time!

Thanks for asking. We just sent some more units of SEASON 1 into amz today. It'll likely be 7-12 days until they have it ready to ship.

Alternatively, one could just order directly from CF, giving them more direct financial support and receiving the discs in-hand in likely half that time. I think last time I ordered from CF, I had a shipping notice in 40 minutes and the discs in my mailbox in 3-4 days.

Everyone should try to order directly from CF when possible, since it gives them more operating capital to continue giving us these great shows!
