Re: CBS Paramount
I believe the deal of the split was that CBS got all of Paramount's TV properties (except for cable stuff from the MTV Networks), but because of their name recognition value the umbrella company that handles them was christened CBS Paramount Television. (Much like "LAW AND ORDER" is now an NBC Universal Television show) However, the gentlemen's agreement is that all the CBS Paramount TV product still gets serviced through Paramount's DVD operation, which is still a Viacom company.
Think this way:
Paramount TV -- CBS
Paramount movies and DVDs -- Viacom

Did you guys see that Hogan's Heroes complete series set news at The Digital Bits? It's coming Nov 10. I can't think of any extras that may be included in a complete set vs the single-season sets that have been released. Were there any "reunion" TV movies of this show?

Yeah, my eyes just spied that myself! Surprised that TV on DVD missed that one.
Be interested to see what the contents are, as I don't have anything from Hogan's yet, but do remember watching the show when I was a kid. Might be willing to give it a try.

Matt,
Since you don't have the existing season sets, this one's a can't-miss for anyone interested in the show.
The transfers on this show are outstanding. I'm almost thru S3 and to my knowledge, they're all uncut. I've seen these eps many times in the past in syndication but this is the first time since the original air dates that I've seen them uncut and far more pristine than those "antenna" days.

Well, only thing I was worried about is the Complete Series set would look like Soap and Good Times with the DVDs stacked on a spindle. That not being the case, plus a bonus disc, it's on my radar. Problem is... well, read the sig!

That's a bundled set, where Amazon takes all the individual season sets and just shrinkwraps them together and sells them as a complete set. What's coming out in a few months is a different animal completely. It will have a new, larger packaging that holds all the individual discs together in one box. Usually these "Complete Sets" are cheaper than the bundled ones as well.
