New Route 66 pkg coming in May
I see on the TVSODVD site that Roxbury is releasing the complete first season of Route 66 in May, featuring videographies of the cast and all commercials intact. This begs the question: Will they get it right this time??

I'd speculate and say no; this will probably be just a repackaging of what already has been released . . . . . certainly the extras that are included appear to be the same as the two split volumes. But, who knows, maybe Roxbury/Infinity will redeem themselves with this full season release . . . . . I'm not holding my breath. It's interesting to note at Infinity's web site that they include aspect ratios for all of their "Route 66" DVD releases, EXCEPT for the complete season 1.
Infinity Entertainment Group
Critics Choice Video is the first of the major online stores that I've seen to list it in their catalog; I suspect that DeepDiscount and Amazon won't be far behind.

Re: New Route 66 pkg coming in May
I think the real question is: what about Season 2, Volume 1. What will we get this time? They could get it right, but I don't expect much of Roxbury/Infinity anymore.

Re: New Route 66 pkg coming in May
I recently emailed Infinity to ask them whether the complete first season would be in the proper OAR. Literally minutes ago, I just received the following reply:
Quote:

The Complete Season 1 will be in 4x3. We remastered Volume 2 for that purpose.
|
I'm not sure if I'm relieved or not - while it sounds hopeful that they recognized the faux widescreen issues for the complete first season, I'm not sure what he meant by "we remastered volume 2 for that purpose." Unless I'm misunderstanding something here, that was the one with the ratio problems...

Re: New Route 66 pkg coming in May
It sounds like he's just saying they fixed it. "Remastered" may not be the best choice of words, but I think that's what he's getting at. I suppose no one will relax until the set is out and OAR is confirmed, but it'll be nice to see a company respond to complaints.
It would have been pretty lame to buy a Complete set and have it switch to fauxscreen midway through.

Re: New Route 66 pkg coming in May
1 1/2 Seasons Down, 1 1/2 to go before I buy this set. (I Always buy sets in minimum Groups of 3, since not only is it cheaper, but I get more than a Years worth of TV at a Time. ( 24+ Episodes X3 = 72 Weeks!  )
DVD Inventory: TV Show Episodes: 7437. Movies: 400.  Serial Chapters: 413.

I thought you were counting down the end of the Buz era. I'm really not much a fan of Linc episodes.

Re: New Route 66 pkg coming in May
If they redid season one right I would buy it in a hearbeat. But I'll wait and see the reviews first. I don't trust these people any more.

Re: New Route 66 pkg coming in May
If we were to receive 100% unedited, uncropped and remastered episodes (the "no-brainer" that Roxbury/Infinity should have abided by to start with, a la Paramount releases) I'd be there too. But that won't be the case.

Re: New Route 66 pkg coming in May
Ditto Michael's post. I'd gladly rebuy the episodes if done correctly. Dunno if this'll happen, though.
