Best of Route 66
Does anyone know if this is a legitimate release?
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000PY51QY/
It's being released by a company called Roxbury Entertainment, which I've never heard of before, and contains 11 episodes of the series on two discs. It's hard for me to imagine that Sony would license "Route 66" to a small unknown company so I'm a little suspicious that this may be an unauthorized release. Does anybody know anything about this release or about Roxbury Entertainment? |

Very interesting, but I can't believe this is an official release. It's only two discs, yet it's boasting 11 episodes?!! That's not a good thing. I guess it could be two double-sided discs, but that's not a great thing either.

Re: Best of Route 66
Would be interested to see if the episode titles correspond with the old Columbia House video releases which would indicate bootleg to me.

Re: Best of Route 66
I wonder if some of the episodes from the series may have slipped into the public domain, i.e., copyrights not renewed. Eleven episodes is a really strange number to release . . . why not make it 10 or an even dozen?

If all the actors listed on Amazon site appear in this set of 11 shows, it would be hard to believe that these just happened to have fallen into public domain |

Re: Best of Route 66
So who's going to order this? 11 episodes for $30 is a little off-putting.

Re: Best of Route 66
If this set has been out since May 1rst, where is it? I've seen no reviews or heard about it before Bob brought it to our attention. Also, why does it take 4-6 weeks to arrive?

Re: Best of Route 66
This Website states that it has all the original commercials and shows a better picture of the set. http://bearep.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...roduct_ID=1691 |

Re: Best of Route 66
I still say 11 hour long episodes crammed into two discs is a bad, bad thing. There's no way the quality can be that good. Three discs, maybe. But not two.
Gary "if the price tag was something like $9.99 I might go for it, but as it stands that's way too much money for only 11 episodes on only two discs" O.
