What I would love to see intact are the previews of next week's episode. I do have a handful of Voyage vcds that do contain them and love themm But then Fox took took the Buffy flashbacks at the beginning so I doubt that they would leave these in either. Oh Well!!! Can't have Everything.

To the DVD consumer out there who isn't familiar with either of these two Irwin Allen 1960s SF tv series the packaging design is going to make all the difference in the world!

I (emphatically) disagree with the positive evaluation of the box art for THE TIME TUNNEL, VOLUME ONE 4-disc set...it sucks to High Heaven!

You must be the only one whom I've heard that actually likes it! It betrays that no effort was done in its drafting (and next to nothing was actually spent on it for that matter).

While the graphics for the VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA - FIRST SEASON, VOLUME ONE 4-disc set aren't nearly as good as say that for the upcoming THE RAT PATROL - THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON 5-disc box set they're still far better than what was done for THE TIME TUNNEL (ABC 1966-67). But one can only expect just so much when it comes to the DVD packaging. Some show more effort and imagination than others.

Speaking for myself it would have been great if Richard Basehart and David Hedison were also included on the packaging design as Mr. Basehart's casting in particular should be a key point in attracting interest in this DVD collection.

Perhaps there is a problem with some of these actors trying to claim royalties for the use of their likenesses on any such tv premiums.

But the design for the VOYAGE packaging illustrates what I've been saying about these 1960s SF tv series all along that they have definite appeal (and relevency) for the 21st Century tv viewer far more so than most tv titles that are being addressed here...and that includes THE INVADERS (ABC 1967-68) starring Roy Thinnes.

People threw in my face stuff like THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW and DYNASTY which I saw both in the 20 dollar DVD discount bin at Wal Mart over the holidays and this particular retail store couldn't give them away!

As for the current Amazon.com sales rank (since you went to the trouble to verify it) you've already gone on record as stating that THE TIME TUNNEL is your favourite SF tv series of the Irwin Allen quartet (nothing wrong with that) but you just can't compare a (mere) 30 episodes to VOYAGE's infinitely more impressive catalogue of 110 presentations.

Besides the day is still young yet and things could change dramatically.

All true. TIME TUNNEL is my favorite, but I gain nothing by the amount that any Irwin Allen set sells. My hopes are that TIME TUNNEL will see its full season release, and that we're not left hanging with just 15 episodes "in the can".

I am quite eager to immerse myself in the VOYAGE series, and will be there on release day to grab each set as it comes out.

But sure, TIME TUNNEL is a personal favorite, and I merely quoted the Amazon figures as a temporary "counter" to the figures you quoted above from Amazon in Canada. These figures fluctuate hourly, and it's likely that one pre-order can lift a lower-ranked title much higher in those hourly rankings.

I have no doubt Jeff, that your posting of the first image available of the new VOYAGE cover here in this thread prompted a couple of people to go and pre-order from Amazon.

And, finally, a Happy New Year to all of the Irwin Allen fans reading this thread, and to all members of the Home Theatre Forum for providing us this opportunity to discuss our passions. May 2006 bring us everything we want!

Voyage got a much stronger start in Amazon's rankings than
TT did so it's not surprising to see the numbers even out a little. However I do think Voyage will outsell TT by a small margin since TT was not as commercially succesful as
Voyage was. However I do hope it sells well enough to warrant finishing up the series since I know there are a number of TT fans out there.

..and I still find it odd that despite being announced first-a year ago via flyers inside of FOX product in the UK, there is still not a word on any R2 release that Ive seen...
anyway, the cover is much better than Time Tunnel, but still-it looks as if they let student interns in the marketing/packaging dept at FOX design the covers...

>>Voyage got a much stronger start in Amazon's rankings than TT

I think overall, people will be more familiar with VTTBOTS, because it ran 4 seaasons, the movie itself is already out on disc, and of course both are re-run endlessly on cable.

I dont know, but I think with only 28 episodes, they must retire TT fairly often on cable, so it may be less visible to folks, whearas VOYAGE can run endlessly (almost like SEINFELD) before you see a repeated episode.

Well if THE TIME TUNNEL - VOLUME ONE 4-disc set doesn't perform well it will be (entirely) due to its lousy packaging design...but I don't want to go over all that again!

It's done. It was a big mistake not to come up with box art that (more) accurately reflected this classic Irwin Allen 1960s SF tv series and fans of THE TIME TUNNEL may just suffer from this blunder.

If the DVD release succeeds it will be solely on the strength the show's reputation...if it has one with the mass consumer out there.

Consider yourself fortunate that THE TIME TUNNEL (ABC 1966-67) only lasted a single season which should guarantee that the entire series will be marketed in two volumes.

I concur with my two colleagues that VOYAGE has received infinite more exposure in tv syndication (just like LOST IN SPACE) and you just can't expect THE TIME TUNNEL (or LAND OF THE GIANTS for that matter) to compete with it.

Reflecting on the VOYAGE packaging design I'm really pleased with it and I (personally) think that the DVD release will do very well indeed! Looking at the Flying Sub there is a definite majestic poetry and grandeur of undersea exploration that is impressively reflected. Yes I think most everybody will be eagerly snatching this DVD set off the retail store shelves.

I know that I will be!

If the VOYAGE collection lives up to all our expectations in (actual) quality then this discussion thread is going to go on for a good long time to come!

Not to be picky or overly critical Jeff, but your following statements do just that.

Yeah, we've been through all of the artwork bashing on THE TIME TUNNEL VOLUME 1 set. I'm starting to warm up to it though. At least it's not floating heads of James Darren and Robert Colbert!

As regards the DVD releases, I do, and I eagerly await any further announcements on Volume 2.

This is an area where I fully agree. TIME TUNNEL has had so little exposure that it will seem like a new series to many who view it. Sadly, VOYAGE runs have been few and far between in recent years, possibly due to the poor quality of the prints, possibly due to the black & white first season, and area which we've discussed before.

If it weren't for the inclusion of the Flying Sub on a package which includes no such vehicle, I'd agree with the thinking that the packaging is superior to TIME TUNNEL. At least this design uses the proper VOYAGE "font". But including that Season Two vehicle on a Season One box set seems somehow dishonest, and I hope that blind-buy purchasers aren't disappointed to find out that they have to wait through yet another half-season before the Flying Sub debuts.

Pertaining to the (fine) VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA - FIRST SEASON, VOLUME ONE box art which is a definite improvement and (far) more true to its source I can (well) understand and support 20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment's intention to get this particular DVD series off to a strong start.

Whether it's the first season (1964-65) or the fourth season (1967-68) the Flying Sub is still a valid part of the VOYAGE mythos. In other words it is (generically) representative of the entire series rather than a single season.

Unlike apparently DYNASTY whose success (and main focal point of interest) seemingly solely depended upon the (auspicious) arrival of Joan Collins (or so it's been tiresomely stated here), VOYAGE did very well for an entire season without this particular piece of technical hardware and I think that this fact will be appreciated by those who purchase this (high demand) DVD from the very outset. It's inclusion on the packaging design was a good, sound tactical move! It demonstrates thought and interest in the show.

If we couldn't get the main cast members (Richard Basehart and David Hedison) included then at least Fox gave us the next best thing.

The 32 first year presentations of VOYAGE are so well done and esthetically satisfying (not to mention just how inexpensive this DVD set is in the first place) that I (really) don't think that anyone is going to be troubled (in the least) by its absense at all.

I agree, however, I for one would have preferred a B&W cover with the hardware particular to season one, i.e. the Seaview of S1 (different observation nose) with diving bell and mini-sub. It would have been cool to perhaps feature on the back side of the cover a collage of scenes from season one with various guest star shots (Nick Adams, Steve Ihnat and Lloyd Bochner, for example). Placing the FS-1 and Seaview in color on the cover, however helps to modernize the series--it's certainly true that these two vessels have such a timeless appeal, with their sleek and elegant lines.

In response to Michael's message post your suggestions are excellent and I see that you are both a knowledgable and devoted fan of this classic 1960s SF tv series. This is precisely the kind of participant that I want to attract here. If forum members are interested in other SF tv series than start your own discussion thread and freely talk about it. Who's stopping you?!

I not here to get too analytical in the conversation like I have to always justify my point-of-view. Absolute balderdash!

Read some of the early message posts in this thread. Many of the objections raised to a DVD release of VOYAGE voiced by others are now invalid.

Perhaps someone at 20th Century-Fox Home Enterainment is reading this discussion thread Michael and will apply (at least in your case) some of the suggestions in the future.

I concur they could have used the Minisub which is still (impressively) modern looking enough but unlike other SF tv series that are so over exposed on television maybe those responsible are just not that well informed about the show.

Fox gets much of its input on the Irwin Allen 1960s SF tv series from Kevin Burns (of Synthesis Entertainment) but all he seems to be really interested in is primarily LOST IN SPACE (CBS 1965-68) his pet television show and he may not really know all that much about VOYAGE himself. Obviously his participation hasn't really helped any in the determination of the packaging design.

And people (in general) are certainly not perfect so there's always the likeliness of mistakes being made particularly in the case of an older tv property.

But I'm mighty glad that Fox didn't risk using the likenesses of Richard Basehart and David Hedison and winding up with legal issues that could have conceivably held back the DVD release!

These DVD boxes are really quite small in size and there's a limitation on just what can be (effectively) featured. Most of them are really not that extraordinary anyway.

Just when I was getting used to the preliminary design too!

This new information only confirms what I've said that the SSRN SEAVIEW and the FLYING SUB seen together are representive of the entire series and not just a single season per se.

It's obvious that 20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment has something truly extraordinary in store and recognizes VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA (ABC 1964-68) which was a television sensation back in the 1960s launching Irwin Allen's tv series dynasty as one of his more important SF tv ventures.

It can only get better from here on and VOYAGE fans will certainly have something extra special to look forward to.

Bring on VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA - FIRST SEASON - VOLUME ONE in February 2006!

So many people have raised issues over the preliminary packaging design that was previewed even to the point that it misrepresented the first season (1964-65) episodes...and not just here so that it's really getting on the absurd side.

While I'd like to see a worthy design graphics fittingly appropriate to the stellar first year shows utilized myself I'm probably much more concerned that it's definitely too late in the day to still be coming up with satisfactory box art when the intended release date of this DVD set is scheduled just a mere month and a half away.

I would have thought that this product had been already manufactured and ready to go by now! It's really being cut precariously close to the scheduled deadline of February 21st, 2006.

The big question is "Will it be ready on time?"

That's precisely why it was absurd to dare suggest that all three remaining Irwin Allen 1960s SF tv series be released in 2006 because 20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment obviously can't properly handle the two that will be.

Without an identifying packaging design it's very difficult for VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA (ABC 1964-68) supporters or the casual SF fan buyer for that matter to really rally around this DVD release right now...and this can only have a detrimental effect on retail sales.

But I'll say this that VOYAGE fans had better not procrastinate and come out to support this particular DVD release. Let's see some genuinely outstanding retail sales numbers for Pete's sake!

I can promise that for all three remaining Irwin Allen 1960s SF tv franchises you will most definitely see some excellent rare bonus archival material included.

You can bank on it!

I agree with Mark-TS, it really rankles that there's been no announcement for the r2 release of either series, even though the advertising flyers in many Fox sets were showing both VTTBOTS and Time Tunnel early last year (as "coming soon"), and they also asked us to vote for which of the remaining Irwin Allen series we wanted on DVD on the UK website nearly 18 months ago! (I voted for all three). The UK was ahead of r1 when it came to Lost In Space...

So far all we've got is the latest re-churning of bl--dy Buff and Angel, I mean, how much more can they wring out of these two over here? What next "Buffy: The Closing Credit Collection"?

Come on Fox, get yourselves in gear.

Oh well, I'll have to import them I suppose. Makes them a bit expensive though, after our crazy import taxes get slapped on top.

Whats the release rate going to be? A bit faster than the early days of The X-Files or The Simpsons it's to be hoped, one every six months, if you were lucky. That would make it four years for Voyage...:-(

I wonder why the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment page isn't showing any information for VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA?

http://www.foxhome.com/foxhome_main.php?section=tvondvd

TIME TUNNEL is prominently displayed (and it warms my heart to see it pictured next to STAR WARS EPISODE III!), and I see NYPD BLUE listed for 2/21.

I wonder if this art snafu could be delaying things?

Any word?

That was my first thought also, since I hate "floating head" coverart. But upon closer inspection, they aren't really floating heads. The heads are, in fact, attached to visible necks and shoulders, with collars and ties also visible.

Maybe we should set some criteria for what constitutes a FH cover. I would classify VTTBOTS as a non-FH offender, due to the details described above. Either way, I give the new cover a big

Maybe that's why this looks better than most floating head designs. They're attached to bodies!

I think I've warmed up to this one - I hadm't noticed the later sub-design. That's less of an infraction than having the Flying Sub on the cover. I like the fact that they've used blue-tinted black & white - that's an honest depiction that the series, at this point, was black & white.

This cover is OK in my book.

I'm not prepared to say that I like this design better than the "pre-release" one we saw a couple of weeks ago, but it's certainly superior to the "TIME TUNNEL" cover art. And I'd agree there is a huge difference between what we have here versus floating heads (which would have looked horrible, IMHO).

I also immediately noticed the wrong Seaview had been used, but that's probably because I absolutely love the first season Seaview design with the two seperate observation levels. So I do kinda wish they would have gotten that one design point correct.

A question: Is the entire cover an artist's rendering? If so, it's very well done where Basehart and Hedison are concerned. I'm not nearly as enamored with the Seaview, with its oversize observation windows, but that's minor.

Having a shot of Adimaral Nelson on the bottom of the spine is keen and I really like the "cold" bluish tint and sweeping sonar image softly blended in. The overall look reminds me of the style employed by Rittenhouse, the folks who made the OL and TZ cards a few years back.

well, as long as the rumors are true that this is getting an HD restore-they should look great.

Im sure the heads are photos, with a painting added underneath.

It would seems so. The cover does not depict the Seaview from its most flattering angle and fails in depicting its graceful lines. If I'm not mistaken, rarely, if ever was it shown from the starboard side.
