The only thing i can take from the specs is they just want to get a quick cheapo half-assed release out there to say we tried to quiet down the people requesting it all these years. Shame on you Paramount! do me a favor if this is the best you can do don't even bother and just cancel it for all i care.


This is pathetic. So IF I get volume 1 and watch the whopping 12 episodes in one weeks time(thats about right) and have to wait 6 months, or over a year for the next volume, how can the studio possibly expect this to attract consumers! Dead serious when I say this puts up a red flag in any collectors mind. I stated in another post that I bought the complete first season of The Fall Guy. If volume 1 of the Fall Guy were the only set available, I wouldn't have touched it. People want complete first seasons, it's just that simple. IF they released the complete first season of the Love Boat at $90, I would buy it. When it comes to classic tv dvd's, there is nothing I hate more than the start, and stop of releases, and the long wait in between.

It just amazes me that after all this time, the studios seem to know absolutely nothing of what consumers want. It may look good on paper to maximize profits, but they will realize sales are low, and then they will just cancel the next volume anyway. Brilliant!!!

I have a great idea, studios should break feature films up in 2 volumes! This way they can get double the price for one movie! Sounds crazy, but this is the type of logic we are dealing with.





Not on dvd yet...what a crime!
