Re: Hill Street Blues abandoned?

I sent an impassioned email to the Foxdrop email addy, and just got a reply. Short and succinct:

Nice.


There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Re: Hill Street Blues abandoned?

I wrote to the address above and asked about NYPD Blue Season 5. Here is the response I got:

Hello,
We do not have any information on the below season at this time. Feel free to try us in a couple of months.

Thank You

Not entirely negative, so I guess we will see.


I don't have time enough to watch all these DVDs!

I contacted them aswell, got the same reply... *Hopefully* they've just delayed it a bit, realized they were releasing them too quick? lol... One can hope.

Re: Hill Street Blues abandoned?

Is the dropping of HSB just R1 or does it apply to all regions? I'd happily buy it from Japan or Europe if the series is going to be completely released in another region.

It's a different company doing the releases in the UK (Channel 4, I believe), so it's possible.

But be careful (out there!)... I've read that some of the episodes on their first two season releases were edited. I think they may have been the syndicated versions.

Re: Hill Street Blues abandoned?

I'll contact C4 and let you know here ASAP -- would be nice to have something R1 or 2, even though Im in UK I bought R1 due to the box set of R2 looking crap

Got this reply from Channel 4:

No plans at present, I am afraid. Sorry to disappoint you.

Well, at least that one was polite...

Re: Hill Street Blues abandoned?

I'd make some crack about the Brits having better manners than their US counterparts...but Fox did say "thank you".

There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Re: Hill Street Blues abandoned?

Yeah, I don't know if the Brit answer was polite, as much as it was apologetic. Which is a Brit thing, too.

We Canadians got the "apology gene", too -- especially those of us who came from good UK stock.

Reminds me of a joke that made the rounds of Canadian professional musicians in the early 1980s (in the days when the biggest Canadian recording acts were REALLY lame):

Q: How can you tell a Canadian musician in the recording studio?
A: He's the one who's always saying "I'm sorry".

Re: Hill Street Blues abandoned?

HSB season 2 just came today, and I must say I am really annoyed at FOX not releasing season 3, they shouldn't do things like that... >
