Why do they continue to issue complete series sets in packaging like this (slits for the disks)? Does anyone actually like it?
To save on shelf space in stores and homes. I don't like the 'slit' packaging for DVDs either but in fairness, any other way of releasing a 73 disc is going to end up with really unwieldy packaging.JoeDoakes said:Why do they continue to issue complete series sets in packaging like this (slits for the disks)?
Yep.Rick Thompson said:Do you think they'll put out the 10th season using the remastered episodes? The original issue wasn't (isn't?), and looks sad compared to the other seasons.
According to Wikipedia:rmw650 said:But how can they call this a complete series if one of the episodes in Season 10 is still going to be missing from the set? Never saw the show before but what happened in that episode that is causing it not to be released as part of this megaset?
While rumors and speculation persist about the reasons that the "Bored She's Hung Herself" Season 2 episode continues to be withheld from distribution in syndication and home video, the CBS legal team is most likely the group that will not allow distribution, so CBS DVD's hands are tied--there's nothing they can do otherwise. However, that won't stop them from calling this a "Complete Series" release, provided that they will most likely feature a legal disclaimer on the packaging announcing the omission of "Bored", similar to what they did on the Season 2 DVD packaging, as a "cover-your-ass" move to prevent some moron from trying to sue them for fraud.jdee28 said:That's great about the remastered tenth season being included in the set!
I hope they go all the way and include the one missing episode, "Bored, She Hung Herself." It's been almost 45 years, and besides, being an extra on a $350 set, not many people will see it anyway; why not include it for completeness sake.
Jack P said:I agree, there is no point clamoring for "Bored" because it is a terrible episode and not worth getting upset about its absence. Believe me, a remastered version wouldn't improve it one iota so if you see it in the boot versions that have been around, that will be enough to satisfy you for a lifetime.
I meant if Season 10 could be bought as a separate issue, not only if you buy the full set. As stated before, I'd be more likely to buy were it done as a box with individual season sets inside. That's how Cagney & Lacey and Law & Order were done, and L&O had a lot more episodes than Five-O (177 more, to be exact). I've never bought slit cardboard page packaging, and won't start now.The Obsolete Man said:Yep.

It's still going to be the Incomplete Series, though.
Boy if they surpressed that episode, I'm surprised they never surpressed the entire series of MASH, which was a continual whitewash of the nature of North Korea.Jack P said:Of course if given a choice I might have preferred seeing "When Does A War End?" from S10 suppressed for all time since that episode was out and out offensive with its whitewash of Japanese atrocities during WW2.
