Will there be a review on the forum for "Quincy, ME: Season Three"?

Here I am, two weeks after the release date of this series and I still don't have my dvd set I pre-ordered from Barnes&Noble. I almost never complain about shipping speeds, and generally I get great service from all the companies I shop at (Amazon, Deep Discount, and B&N are the big 3 that get most of my business), but this order is taking a ridiculously long time to reach me and it's all because the company uses the slowest shipping on the face of the earth:Gary OS said:Still waiting on the set I pre-ordered from Barnes&Noble. It shipped last Thursday (why then instead of Monday or Tuesday I have no idea) so it should be here very soon. Unfortunately they used the dreaded DHL Global Mail system, which is the worst I've ever seen. I hate it when they use that instead of just letting the dvd travel from start to finish through the USPS.
I've been a bit annoyed with Uni since they started pulling a "Sony" by cramming too many eps per disc. I'm sure it's simply for cost-saving on disc manufacturing, which is odd when you consider they're wasting money on the packaging. Quincy S3 has 4 discs stored in 3 slim cases: 1 & 2 each in singles; 3 & 4 share a double. Why not two discs in two doubles? Or all four in one Amary? The savings on using one less disc is probably negated by the use of the additional/unnecessary packaging. The packaging design is especially boring, featuring the same image of Klugman on the outer case and each of the three inner slim cases. There is no need for the additional cases and their cover inserts, when a single ep listing insert in the Amaray would suffice. It would have been more convenient, and less wasteful, to have used a single 4-disc Amary. They also left the disc volume numbers off the spines of the slim cases.Originally Posted by Dave Scarpa /forum/thread/242202/quincy-m-e-season-3-where-are-you/60#post_3566983
Geeze Would it have killed Universal to release a 5 Disk Set with 4 eps on each instead of squeezing 5 on one disk, they look ok but it would've eased the compression a bit...
That was before they added the "TV From The 70s" folder. The "Universal properties of interest?" thread is not on the new community forum. But thanks for replying there and starting a new thread Richard. I'll copy and paste my old post.Originally Posted by WaveCrest /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Chris, have made a new post in the above linked Shout! Factory thread, but I couldn't see it at the top of the 70's folder. So I've started a new thread, specifically about the fourth season of Quincy, ME.
It seems like ages since the third season was released by Universal after a few years' wait (last summer). If Universal have no plans to release it, then I hope Shout! Factory could release the rest of the series (another five seasons).
Good to know, although the only importing I do is from Canada.Originally Posted by HenryDuBrow /forum/thread/242202/quincy-m-e-season-3-where-are-you/60#post_3682986
I don't know about whether the music edits are the same with the Region 2 boxset of the first and second seasons of Quincy, ME, but the discs in the set are single sided.
