Every time they change the ship date I have to go back and recalculate to see when the payments will hit. Maybe this time it'll be a little easier on the budget. We've got Carol's Primetime Specials coming out on August 28. So now the billing for the big box should hit on Aug 13, September 3rd & 24, (ouch) October 15 and November 5. And Carol's Christmas Show set comes out November 4. I'm not going to stress about the everchanging release date, it'll be nice when it gets here.FanCollector said:
Yes Alan. John took our questions right to TL's authority on this show and got an agreement to get us the episode list - which is being cleaned up and formatted for us - amazing progress for this kind of thing. There are other questions he is working on as well, which is why John is gaining many fans here...Carabimero said:
I found it interesting that the Columbia House DVDs had volume numbers, but the Guthy-Renker ones don't. But the Guthy-Renker DVDs add the episode numbers (production numbers), which were not mentioned on the Columbia House DVDs. So I added them in bold below (Guthy-Renker has only released the first 21 volumes). There also were discrepancies for two airdates, which I have highlighted in bold, but after I did it, I went back and re-read your post and if I understand correctly, the airdates listed on the DVDs are wrong? Anyway, I hope this helps. I always like to have some kind of official identification such as an episode number or title, just to make it easier to keep track of the shows. Best I can tell, the numbers represent production order rather than airdate order. First the season, then whichever show it was for that season. This is right off the Guthy-Renker DVDs. I look forward to the list of shows to be included in the new sets.NY2LA said:
Well for one brief shining moment we had a Time Life guy who sounded like he was going to get some info for us. - He said they actually did NOT plan to release an episode list but DID promise to get US the list and post it here - but he has gone MIA now, and the Big Box is set to ship in about two weeks anyway, so it looks like we'll just have to wait until one of us gets his order delivered and then takes the time to copy down all the info and post a list.Sadie1ge said:
Actually since I got an email from T/L shortly after ordering asking me to check out their new site, I believe what we've been told that the Episode thing is a preformat glitch and it has not been repeated elsewhere so that is not a concern for me.Carabimero said:
The age of the show being issued on DVD will more than likely ensure that the above-mentioned people will be the only ones likely buying it.NY2LA said:
I haven't seen the time payment option mentioned on the site anymore. Maybe it's still in the checkout section. There isn't much risk. They only charge the first installment when they ship. You can return the set within 30 days for a full refund. What's confusing is the site says they ship on 8/13, while all the recent press releases still say the 6th. And I believe the latest release went out after the site changed the date, so when it comes is anybody's guess. Seems the original intention was to have the megaset out about a month before the retail, (good idea for word of mouth) but now it;s looking like they're coming out at the same time.Ronald Epstein said:
