Silk Stalkings Seasons 6-8

Any word on when these might be coming out?? Its been a while since season 5 was released

Re: Silk Stalkings Seasons 6-8

Yes! I second this question. Cassie St. John (Janet Gunn) and Tom Ryan (Chris Potter) had great chemistry, even though it took a little while to get used to them.

Re: Silk Stalkings Seasons 6-8

I would also love to see the remaining seasons released

Re: Silk Stalkings Seasons 6-8

I think I recall reading here, if not elsewhere, that Anchor Bay lost a lot of money on this series. So, once the seasons with the original cast were released, it was decided the last three seasons would be abandoned, more or less.

Too bad, too. I'm a fan who has the other five seasons, but if it is as bad as I recall business-wise, I'm not holding my breath for the rest.

Re: Silk Stalkings Seasons 6-8

Nikki,

I see you in the Shout! Factory forums. Did you request this series as a request?

I would not be surprised if the remaining seasons were never released. So surprise me, someone!

Re: Silk Stalkings Seasons 6-8

No I don't think I have maybe I should, there have been so many responses to the one on Alias Smith & Jones, Brian Ward has mentioned he will look into it. Maybe we should start one for Silk Stalkings

Re: Silk Stalkings Seasons 6-8

I posted a request on shout if anyone is interested in commenting on

Shout! Factory Community - Silk Stalkings - Seasons 6-8

Yeah

It has been said that Anchor Bay lost out on that.  However, I asked because we have now  seen Sony Abandon My good friend Mr Ed but shout stepped up.  I was hoping the same would occur with Silk

I would have liked it if Silk Transitioned at the time with an explanation of what happened to Holly and Michael when Tom and Casssie replaced them.  I mean we knew what happened after Chris was killed.  Rita moved away to put her life together again

However, after S 5 it was announced that Potter and Gunn were coming in and I hated it at first because they never tied that loose end up

What happened to Michael? Did he go back to Chicago? What happened to Holly? Did she get re asigned to the academy teaching cadets Karate ??? I mean come on

I think I remember in S 5 or 6 Harry, Cassie and Tom attended a funeral for a fellow officer and Harry asked Tom if he or Cassie ever knew Chris.  Tom stated that he knew him a little...I think

But Holly and Michael were never mentioned on screen again.  Moreover, Neither was George Donovan the assistant DA (William Anton) or the DA Roy Conroy (once played by stephen J Cannell)

Its like they completely went away from the shows history

i got into Silk Stalkings with Tom and Cassie in late 1990s. I was hoping to see these season released on dvds. However, if sony is involved, then it is more likely to be stalled series.

I'm still waiting and hopefully other fans are too.  Whoever can release the remaining seasons, please consider it.  Without the fans voicing their opinion, this will be a futile attempt.

Could this be great news for us?  At first, I thought it was a deal to re-release seasons.  But it seems that Mill Creek Entertainment intends to release seasons that have not been released!  So could we FINALLY see Seasons 6 through 8???  And at "value prices" (hopefully meaning "low") as quoted by its President and COO Ian Warfield?  Let's hope so!

Hmm, it looks like we might get the last 2 seasons of Renegade too. I haven't picked any seasons up, but if they release the last two, I might just have to buy all 5.

I have the first 3 seasons of Renegeade on dvd from Anchor Bay.  Would buy season 4 and 5 in a heartbeat.  I have season 1-4 of Silk Stalkinghs.  Plan to get season 5 soon.  If this plan comes about, I can complete that series as well.  Great!!!

There was announcement yesterday

Minneapolis, MN (October, 2009) - Mill Creek Entertainment, a recognized leader in value entertainment has signed a new agreement with Stephen J.

So, it looks like we can see the remaining season. I was more a fan with silk stalkings when Cassie St John's character was added. I remember watching this show on USA TV. It was cancel abruptly with no real answer to what was happening with Cassie and Tom Ryan.

 

With Mill Creek you kind of get what you pay for. 

I wonder how long before Mill Creek starts to put out these sets?

FYI I was at Mill Creeks website and season 1 of 21 Jump Street, Hunter and Renegade are all available now for about $15 each.

Yeah, pressed dvd's(not burned dvd-r crap) and single sided discs.  I'm in!

I am seriously thinking of getting season 2 and 3 of Reenegade when they are available as I hate the double-sided disks the Anchor Bay put out for season 2 and 3.

Hopefully mill creek will put the sets out in a better fashion than they did with the best of bonanza. 8 to 10 episodes per disc were too many imho.

The sets that I have gotten recently from Mill Creek seem to have 5 to 6 episodes per disk.  The Wiseguy season 1 set had 4 disks, which averages out to 5 to 6 episodes per disk.  I just hope these series come out in a timely manner.

The only two sets I own by Mill Creek are "The Adventures of Robin Hood" season one and "Beyond Reality" season one.  Robin Hood has 13 half hour episodes per disc and Beyond Reality has 11 half hour episodes per disc. 

How is the picture and sound quality?

On another note the anchor bay release of hunter the first season had an episode titled Beach Boy on it disc 4. The picture was distorted for some reason. Did anybody else notice? I wonder if it has been fixed for the mill creek release?

I am still working through season 1.  Just finished disk 2.  Will let you know if I have any problems with disk 4
