Re: The Incredible Hulk - Season Two news

While we're on the subject of extras we'd like, I'd like to see a featurette on the life of Bill Bixby. He was central to the show's success and his life and career deserve recognition.

I'd love to see a Bixby featurette too. He was perfect as Banner and the heart of the series.

I didn't realize that, I'd still prefer better extras over bonus episodes.

Re: The Incredible Hulk - Season Two news

I see this is to be a 5-disc set. How does Universal propose to put 24 50-minute episodes on 5 discs without using the dreaded double-sided DVD-18 or DVD-14?

They put five episodes of The Rockford Files on each DVD in those sets. It's becoming quite common to put five episodes (or ten for a half-hour show) on each DVD. There's not much of a difference in quality (usually none in fact) and they've been able to use that type of compression for quite some time now. Up until the last year, however, studios had been keeping the episode counts down to make it look like you're getting more of a deal (a four-disc set looks larger than a three-disc set). Shelf space has become a bigger deal, there's increased production demands, and less importance is placed on the number of discs (more people understand the concept of buying full seasons, so they no longer advertise the disc count as prominently). Thus, studios are looking for fewer discs per release to keep costs down. Of course, that's just my perception of the situation (I don't have any inside information or anything) and that applies more to half-hour shows than hour shows, which have had a fair standard of four per disc.

They've used it on Magnum and Miami Vice with no drawbacks that I could see.

But all three movies are already out (and for really cheap too), and they sport some goodly sized extras. I'd hate to see them waste space doubleing up material that's already out.

I bought them recently and liked them, the extras were really good. I mainly didn't want to buy them seperately and before the series was finished on DVD. Once I realized that hey were produced by different companies, I decided to buy them in case they go out of print before the season sets are completed.

I'll be seeing Kenneth Johnson this weekend. I'll ask him for an update on the blooper reel he's working on including in the Season 3 release, and if there are any plans for Seasons 4 & 5 yet.

Re: The Incredible Hulk - Season Two news

Has anyone seen the reissue of the Incredible Hulk telefilms that was just released? How's the quality? I've been pretty pleased with the season sets (1 and 2), but the films are from a different company, so I was wondering if there were any concerns about them. Any info appreciated.
