Warner TV & Animation Chat

What? I'm not allowed to ask multiple questions concerning "Everwood" this year? Attica! Attica!

In all seriousness, thank you very much, Warner, for agreeing to do another chat with us. I will see you in September.

It took THIS long for a thread to be created about this? Get with the program people, You're losing your heads.

Re: Warner TV & Animation chat on September 15th

Even though we know that Everwood S2 is in the works, do you think that they will open the chat w/that news just to shut most of us up and maybe try to knock our socks off so to speak?

Re: Warner TV & Animation chat on September 15th

September - Just in time to get some info on 4th Quarter/1st & 2nd Quarter releases

Perhaps we should get an idea of who wants to ask which question so we all don't end up wanting to ask the same thing and then come chat time have nothing to ask as someone else asked already!

The only really question I have is the long-term plan to release the remaing Filmation/Superfriends DC Superhero shows.

* Seasons Two and Three of The 1960's Superman
* All 3 Seasons worth of The 1960's Superboy Segments
* The 1960's Batman
* The remaining "Superfriends" including the first season and
the "lost" season.
*...and let's not forget the Ruby-Spears 1980's Superman series!

Re: Warner TV & Animation chat on September 15th

I don't think I will be able to make it to this but here are three questions I would like to ask.


1) Will there be more season sets of The Drew Carey Show

2) Will there be more releases of Whose Line is it Anyway

3) Will there be a season set of Step by Step


Does Warner TV own Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place?

Re: Warner TV & Animation chat on September 15th

Maverick. The show looks great and complete on the Encore Westerns.
We need season sets of this and other Warners fifties and early sixties TV.

Maverick, along with the other Warner westerns and detective shows of the late 1950s/early 1960s are of great interest to me, but I don't think that Warner has any real interest in releasing their vintage series unless they were to go the Time/Life route ala "Man from U.N.C.L.E." I still hold out a small ray of hope for "The F.B.I." mainly because it was a Quinn Martin show. Martin's Paramount owned shows (The Invaders, The Fugitive, Streets of San Francisco, and Cannon) are being released and I hope this prompts Warner to give some serious consideration to "The F.B.I."

Re: Warner TV & Animation chat on September 15th

Warner owns one "holy grail" of mine that I would love to see the entire series (and completely unedited) released. (Think unreleased '80s sitcom.)

And would someone please ask about "Time Trax". I neglected to follow this up last year from the previous chat, and while we did have a small group of HTF members participating, no one asked about it.

Re: Warner TV & Animation chat on September 15th

I'd been looking forward to a new Home Theater Forum chat with Warner Brothers and participate this time. However I'm away on holiday when this chat with Warner Brothers happens.

I want to know if there is an update on the following and whether they will sub-license them to independent DVD distributors:

1.) Knots Landing - Season 2 (1980-81)
2.) Midnight Caller - Season 1 (1988-89)
3.) Freddy's Nightmares - Season 1.

I am hoping to hear about the short-lived series....Vengeance Unlimited

Also, from the above posters...
-More Knots Landing
-Superman (Ruby-Spears)
-Definitely Time Trax!

Re: Warner TV & Animation chat on September 15th

For what it's worth, I think everyone is supposed to hold their questions until the chat.

You left one out:
SHAZAM! (particularly the live-action version, but also the later animated one that aired along with Hero High, which BCI released on its own).

I'd also be interested in seeing WB tackle the following (please someone ask about them, and Shazam!: I'm never around when these chats happen):

LOGAN'S RUN, the 1978 TV series that ran on CBS. Only 14 episodes, has been (presumably) converted to digital tape already, since it aired in reruns on TNT around 1990-91. C'mon, if Sony/Columbia can put Quark out, surely WB can give us Logan.

LEGENDS OF THE SUPER-HEROES the two "live-action Superfriends/Justice League" specials from 1979 that reunited Adam West, Burt Ward and Frank Gorshin. Was produced by Hanna Barbera, so WB should have control of it now.

You don't suppose someone could do a thread where we list the WB shows we'd like to know about and that someone could print it out and distribute to the WB people ahead of time?

Re: Warner TV & Animation chat on September 15th

I've got several questions for them:

—Is it true that it costs $5000 in-house to remaster one film-based TV episode, which is why substandard, early-90s-basic-cable transfers are used on many shows (The Waltons especially)?
—What were you thinking with that butchered season 1 of Mama's Family? For shame. Will you ever do a real release of it or allow someone who gives a hoot to do it?
—Is there any chance of seeing more than one season of any sitcom that doesn't start with an F?
—Where's the rest of Knots Landing? Why could you not have combined seasons 1 and 2? Why did you not promote it on the still-continuing Dallas sets? Will you sublicense it out?
—Why is Alice S1 available on iTunes and the virtually inaccessible AOL in2tv but not DVD?
—Why are censored, poorly mastered versions of Tom and Jerry available on DVD when the fans demand uncensored, restored, remastered versions?
—Why was it necessary to break up The Smurfs' first season into two sets? Have you been smoking from Paramount's hookah?

WARNER TV?!!!!!

I'm waiting for the Warner Brothers film questions-and-answers session myself!

I have to do some research on this but generally Warner (conservatively) specialized in "mainstream" tv fare like westerns and detective shows. And how much of it today is of interest in a viable commercial sense?

To substantiate this what happened to further full season DVD releases of CHEYENNE? Remember that one?!

With THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN and THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. the company pretty has much played its two highest cards. I wouldn't be adverse to a fully restored and digitally remastered release of SUPERMAN.

So far the only two interesting suggestions are SHAZAM! (at least it has the always reliable Les Tremayne in his only tv series) and LOGAN'S RUN. What else can I further add...THE GIRL FROM U.N.C.L.E.? Maybe it has improved with the passing years?

Re: Warner TV & Animation chat on September 15th

Folks,

As in the past, we ask that you don't prep WB with questions you are
going to ask prior to the chat.

This chat is impromptu and we generally discourage the posting of
questions in advance.

Thanks for understanding.
