What TV Shows/Movies Should Be Scheduled for Blu-ray Release? - Page 2

Agree, "Walker" :)  Good choices.  If we start to see this happening, I might enter the BR mkt but so far, I'm content to wait and see if we get more older series' releaes on BR).  Also, as a region-free guy, I'm watching the pricing for R-free BR players lately.

as for most of the the discussion is only series, i was thinking more along the lines of movies made directly for television, be it miniseries version or just films, any one remember the ABC Novels for Television?

ABC
Rich Man, Poor Man
Rich Man, Poor Man Book 2
Masada
Roots
The Winds Of War
The War and Remembrance
The Stand
The Night Stalker  (guilty pleasure)
The Night Strangler (guilty pleasure)
Duel  (guilty pleasure)

NBC
Centennial

CBS
Salem's Lot

as for series that i would like to see moved over to this format, i am thinking that the Young Indiana Jones Series would greatly benefit from this, i wonder why Paramount/CBS and Lucas didn't go with multiple releases with this i understand that all the bonus content was meant to make this a teaching aid.
 and the other three that need this Batman: The Animated Series, and the Adam West Batman, and if WB could finish Justice League, first season is out, and looks beautiful, just waiting on the rest to show up.

Those 3 would all be excellent candidates for Blu-ray.  I doubt we'll see any of them in that format, but I completely agree they'd all be great choices.


Gary "great minds think alike, Walker - LOL" O.

Honestly I think we will likely see them as high def streaming though something like Netflix before we will see them on blu-ray.

Interesting I would put the guilty pleasure label on the mini series you listed and not Duel and The Night Stalker.

Young Indy was shot in 16mm (not even super 16) and likely would not show much improvement in HD. Also post production on it was done at NTSC resolution and would require a re edit and recreation of all effects shots.

Roots...please WB restore the show to its original eight part format, and restore the missing bits from the openings of some of these combined episodes. This show is historic.

The Brady Bunch...the dvds are a dnr nightmare.

I Love Lucy...would be beautiful


Batman....if only!

Wonder Woman...with original "New, Original" opening for first few episodes of season one.
 

Jesus of Nazareth....full-length.

Yes, but have you seen the stellar source material used for the most recent DVD season box sets? Absolutely excellent image quality, and if put on Blu-ray (I think I heard it will be happening this year) will be unbelievable. If they carry over the extras, such as commentaries, isolated music, etc. and throw in as much material as is available (Serling's Q&A with students, I believe at Ithica College), I will be first in line for the whole damn run all over again! Do yourself a favor and don't confuse those commercial- and pop-up-ridden, edited, time-compressed presentations on the Sci-Fi Channel with the DVD's CBS/Image have produced. They show off the best episodes (and there are many great ones) for what they are: provocative, well-acted, well-produced, well-written short stories told in beautiful black and white for you to enjoy again and again.
