Re: THE FUGITIVE, Season 2, Vol. 1 - Replacement Program Announced

This is absolutely outstanding news!

Not only was my theory possibly correct (that Volume 2 of the second season *might* have some original music restored), but CBS/P has done themselves proud by going back and fixing the first volume.

I couldn't be happier about this.

And we get to keep the old discs as souveniers!

Viva Season Two and bring on the rest!

For anyone having difficulty getting through to the replacement DVD site, here is the direct link to the PDF:

Are the replaced scored S2 Vol 1's still out there being recalled? When will the restored scored S2 Vol1 sets be for sale in the regular outlets and how will they be identified?

This is good news, I'll probably pick up S2 V1 now, since there's some hope for it, and the rest of the series.

To make sure I understand correctly --

For those of us who never bought the original release once we were alerted to the replacement, we now have to buy the original release so we can participate in the exchange (since the fixed discs will not be available at retail), correct?

Bob, please read the FAQ I wrote - this is addressed in there.

Re: THE FUGITIVE, Season 2, Vol. 1 - Replacement Program Announced

That's great news for people who bought the initial Season 2, Volume 1 release, but what about those who held off buying it specifically because of news of the music replacement, and now this replacement version with original music is not going to be available at retail?

Re: THE FUGITIVE, Season 2, Vol. 1 - Replacement Program Announced

This is great, great news and, for me, this action by CBS/Paramount restores my confidence in them quite a bit, though Gord Lacey's news article mentions that this replacement program was established only for "The Fugitive." No mention was made of "My Three Sons" and I feel bad for fans of that series who, apparently, will have to endure the replacement music.

Thanks, Gord, for posting all the particulars.

You just buy the version that IS available at retail, and you send away for the replacement discs.

I remember K-Tel records used to take phone orders and promise delivery in 8 weeks, but basically they were waiting to see how many orders they got before they went ahead and actually pressed the record. I wonder if CBS/Paramount is doing something similar here?

Congrats, Bob, you're the first to poo-poo the replacement program. I figured there'd be someone, I just didn't think it would be such a big fan of classic TV. Need someone to spot you the price of a stamp?

No, I have the check discs sitting here (the finished disc, minus the disc artwork). These are done.

Great news from CBS/Paramount! Glad to hear we were heard and they are now going to do the right thing.

It's too bad though with My Three Sons; given the lack of response over musical replacements in that release, I doubt we'll ever see a disc replacement program for it.

I just hope that this whole Fugitive fiasco impressed on the folks on CBS/Paramount to do whatever it takes to go with original music.

Thanks, Gord. We appreciate your information and your editorial on this, which undoubtedly helped make this possible. I will probably pick this up at retail and do the replacement thing send in.

Re: THE FUGITIVE, Season 2, Vol. 1 - Replacement Program Announced

Considering how important Pete Rugolo's score was to the show, Paramount had no choice but to eat crow after so much protests. What a week for the classic TV fan- releases announced for:

Peyton Place
The Mothers-In-Law
Here's Lucy
Parker Lewis Can't Lose

- and now this! Never underestimate the power of the classic TV fan!!!!
Bring "The continuing story of PEYTON PLACE" home on DVD: the one that started it all- from Dallas and Dynasty to Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl!!! Starting this May, see the legendary saga starring Mia Farrow, Ryan O'Neal, Barbara Parkins, and Oscar-winner Dorothy Malone on DVD thru Shout!...

Re: THE FUGITIVE, Season 2, Vol. 1 - Replacement Program Announced

Once again, TVShowsOnDVD.com provides fast, accurate, detailed, and user-friendly info for TV-on-DVD fans.

Gord (and David Lambert), your site is a tremendous asset to TV/DVD fans. Just amazing. And you always seem to provide that extra bit of information about many of the topics you post at TVSoDVD too (in this "Fugitive" case, the extensive and very useful FAQ that you included in your article regarding the replacement discs).

TVSoDVD is the best. I salute thee.

And, best of all, I think I'll finally be able to use that S.2, V.1 DVD review that I've had written for many months (but was never going to actually put online until the God-awful replacement music was removed).

Kudos to CBS/Paramount.

Re: THE FUGITIVE, Season 2, Vol. 1 - Replacement Program Announced

I've gone to Amazon to re-do my scathing review based on this news. I suggest that others do the same.

If CBS/Paramount can go back and fix their discs, IMHO the least we can do is go back and "fix" the bad reviews we've given them. I can understand a wait-and-see attitude, and that makes sense. My feeling is that I'm informing others there of the replacement program, and will update again if the replacement discs warrant it.

Indeed! Gord & David are the source of much great news!

Add me to the list of those who never thought this would happen.
It makes my day, and knowing that S2V2 is fixed, that's just great!

Re: THE FUGITIVE, Season 2, Vol. 1 - Replacement Program Announced

This is great news for the fans that has this set (or getting it anytime soon). Unfortunately that still leaves people out. What about anyone that gets the set after September 1st 2009??

This is a series I considered checking out for a long time now... too young to have seen it when it originally aired and never seen a single episode in syndication. So I would want to see this series in order... there is no way I would be able to get up to season 2 vol 1 before the end of the allowed replacement date. Oh well... I guess if I do like this show I will be doomed to have the discs with the replaced score.

EDIT: Not to mention... What do you do if you don't have access to a printer? There is not a printer anywhere in our house.

I could have sworn the first complaint would have been from an international customer who is not eligible for the replacement program.

Yeah, I expected that as well. Unfortunately international people run the risk of these things all the time - the discs aren't licensed to be sold internationally, so the companies can't be expected to support international customers.

Christian, hopefully you have a friend in the US/Canada that could receive the DVDs for you.

First, my thanks to Gord and Dave. I bow at your feet and humbly ask that you continue to bestow your graces upon Classic TV on DVD. I have no doubt you guys were instrumental in helping to make this happen!

Second, I thank everyone that contributed (in a civil way) to making CBS/P aware of our displeasure. No doubt the articles, online communities, and many letters helped the cause. All of you are to be commended.

Wow! I'm just flabbergasted. Harry, you deserve props for having the faith to believe this was possible. Good job, my friend.

Finally, thanks to CBS/P for listening to the fans on this issue.

P.S. Just saw Travis's shout out to me! You bet I'm ecstatic, buddy!!!!
