Re: Best of Route 66

I really can't believe they didn't clean up the transfers from the Season 1, Volume 1 set. How clueless are these people? So now they release a set where the most of the first 15 episodes look terrible, while the last 15 look good? Are they nuts? Why was it postponed three months if not to fix the first half? They take the cake for how dumb can you be when trying to release a classic tv show.

Re: Best of Route 66

So glad they've decided to forgo releasing half-season sets!

Re: Best of Route 66

I wish I could say I was thrilled about this announcement instead of dubious.

I tried calling Infinity again today and there's still no word about an upgrade path for consumers stuck with the cropped S1V2 sets. I doubt there will be anything offered since they obviously didn't consider the image issues for S1V1 a sin of equal caliber. And how can you ask to exchange a half season for a whole season set (the only way to get the corrected S1V2)?

But I also got the sense that a strong message was sent through this Forum (they were aware of it), and I would imagine that had a significant impact on making sure we have a decent shot at remastered image and properly cropped format for S2. We created a ... Buz and it was heard. That's cool.

Re: Best of Route 66

My copy of the complete first season arrived today and although I hadn't seen the program since it was originally broadcast and was prepared for the worst after reading the posts here - I was pleasantly surprised.

The quality of the first volume didn't look that bad to me (granted I'm watching these on a crt) and considering the price I paid (just over $20 shipped at the last DVDPlanet sale) it's brilliant to have the entire first season of this show.

Re: Best of Route 66

Are they offering any trades for those of us who bought the intentionally mutilated 2nd half of the first season? No sale of this or any future seasons otherwise...

Infinity web page contact link deleted - it sends email to someone who no longer works there..
(apparently they don't want to be contacted)

Re: Best of Route 66

There is still a contact page on the Roxbury site which can be accessed via Infinity's main page.

Yes, that was the page I used earlier this week - but at that time I didn't receive any sort of reply from it.

Re: Best of Route 66

It's been implied a little tiny bit here that Mr. Thornblad moved on from Infinity possibly as a result of the entire "upgrade the bad S1 releases" thing. Nope; he used to be one of my contacts there. His departure was the first thing I found out when I first started looking into the possibility of an upgrade. The result of that research is what lead to the post I made about an upgrade. So, for the record, he was long gone before all of this upgrade stuff.

And the upshot of THAT seems to be that I was pretty much told that people who followed the directions I passed on, would get an upgrade. It appears that this hasn't been the case. I had concerns about this when I posted that, but was told to go ahead. It seems my fears were well-founded. Sorry.

Is your answer in another thread? I can't find any other messages from you in this thread.

EVERYONE THAT GOT AN UPGRADE: PLEASE SHARE YOUR SUCCESS STORY.

Update: Are you referring to this? Route 66 DVD news: Upgrade Path for Route 66 Season 1 half-season set owners | TVShowsOnDVD.com

It sounds like people who called were referred to the website.. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...3-post396.html

(You would think that a company would change their contact page to send mail to a current employee).
