I picked up the first three seasons, cheap, on DVD several years ago and I'm not really feeling the itch to upgrade.

I mean, I traded my Airwolf DVD set for the BD set. But I guess I'm not as much of a Steve Austin fan.

The corssovers sound promising, as long as they're accurately presented, like the TL set. No mention yet of the syndicated versions of the pilot movies. They were train wrecks, but totally worth having for completion sake.

I hope one of the extras is a documentary about the musical score for the series, especially the work of Oliver Nelson, his talents are one of the big reasons the series is so well remembered.

Details of the German set here http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film4/blu-ray_reviews_63/the_six_million_dollar_man_blu-ray.htm

importantly this German set has the 3 reunion films in SD. Possibly the same on the forthcoming set - were they shot on VT-like film (like the 88-89 Mission Impossible revival series)

I have the time life box I’ll wait to make sure the disks are error free which sometimes affect shout stuff and for a sale

Buck Rogers was Kino. I think Space 1999 might be their last blu ray classic tv show.

I got the Space 1999 TV show. Blu-Ray.
With the Snow-G. Glad I did. A bit on the high side though.

 

[Sega]

I will keep an eye on this. But if the price is in the Outer Limits. I will wait. And I will be waiting I bet. But no big deal.
And I want to know if it has. English SDH. ?
Shout can be very . If, If at times.

There was talk of a soundtrack being released by LaLand records but no update in a while. I’d love that!!

And speaking of the Bionic Woman being released on Blu-Ray, it seems like it's going to come to fruition after all on 8/30/2022...

COMING ON 8/30:

* The Bionic Woman - The Complete Series: Collector's Edition (Shout! Factory)
Blu-ray Disc
NOT LISTED FOR PRE-ORDER AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING
EXTRAS: in progress and will be announced at a later date
-----She can hear things undetectable to the human ear. She can crush steel in one hand. She can run faster than a sports car. She is The Bionic Woman: the world's first female cyborg...and the role model who inspired an entire generation! Join Primetime Emmy Award winner Lindsay Wagner in all 58 action-packed episodes from the complete, iconic series. From the early days with her new abilities, to her changing relationship with Steve Austin (The Six Million Dollar Man), to her increasingly dangerous role as a secret agent, Jaime Sommers' incredible, trailblazing journey is chronicled here, and it remains an indelible chapter in television history. 18-disc set.

SF has started shipping orders. Hopefully someone who receives theirs will quickly inspect and then post whether the five Bionic Woman episodes still have the same defective audio that plagued all DVD releases since 2010. The episodes in the set with the worst audio (as in the previous DVD releases) are "The Return of Bigfoot: Part II" and "Kill Oscar: Part I". The audio was severely muffled, with the mixing of dialog, music and sound effects being at wildly and seemingly-random levels. I'm still finding it very hard to believe that SF would release the episodes with these same problems, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that SF has finally fixed them (which is something Universal has no interest in doing, despite being in possession of previous masters with perfect audio).

Here is a very effective comparison video showing differences in the flawed soundtrack for "The Return of Bigfoot: Part I" from the 2010 DVD and a previous master with perfect audio.

Unfortunately the audio for Return of Bigfoot part 2, has not been fixed for this blu ray set.

Here's what I've been able to gather:

The special features list on the back of the case for Season 4 does not indicate the "Six Million Dollar Fans" featurette, yet it is on the disc.

The special feature list on the back of the case for Season 5 does not indicate the interview with Martin E. Brooks (Rudy Wells), yet it is on the disc.

There are also four scripts included as BD-ROM supplements that were not part of the originally-announced special features.

The "promos" appear to be nothing more than the same VHS-dubbed ABC clips that have been on YouTube for years, and not the original "Next On" ones that we were hoping for.

The stills galleries contain mostly the same images on Kenneth Johnson's website, with nothing of a "never-before-seen" nature.

Poor attention-to-detail in the packaging design's descriptive text (and nobody thought to correct the key shot of Majors on the back that is reversed...again?) and a flimsy box, instead of Shout's usual sturdy style, leaves a lot to be desired in the set's overall presentation.

At this point, the best we can hope for is that the episodes themselves are not littered with problems — audio or otherwise — as The Bionic Woman episodes have been (and will likely be again on the upcoming Blu-ray set).

Shout Factory should just offer the syndicated version of the Return Of Bigfoot part 2, at least the audio is correct on it.

Amazon listing says it's "Amazon Exclusive Collector's Edition [Blu-ray]"

Is there anything different on the set you order from Amazon or is the wording just hype ?
