Dear Guys:
Considering that we're in the midst of a somewhat bad economy (10% unemployment, massive oil spill, two wars, the fallout of the bank mess,etc) would you say that 2010 was a pretty good year for tv DVDs.
My opinion: Yes, Far better than we deserve. I'm guessing we've had about 30 plus unreleased tv series programs coming out this year, Max Headroom, Tales of the Gold Monkey, Marcus Welby, Wagon Train, etc. Some cult shows, continuance of Dallas, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, the Fugitive, news on Mannix just coming out, etc.
Even lost cult hits like Thriller, with an outstanding extras list, made it out. So somebody has something to be happy about. Some pretty high releases such as Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman should be out soon, and how excellent is that?
With WB Archives starting to put out tv programs like Falcon Crest season 2, Night Court season 4, more shows that wouldn't have made it at Best Buy and Walmart will be able to make it out to their fans. Also they've started with animation product such as Thundarr and Pirates of DarkWater. Granted, there are no extras, but its something for their fans.
Also want to give credit to Shout Studios for taking on contracts with various other companies, and helping to get series out that would otherwise wouldn't get out.
Series like When Things Were Rotten, Werewolf, Brooklyn Bridge, Frank's Place and other short lived programs that got detoured on their release schedule, hopefully will be resolved in the future (note: I have no news on this series from anybody, I'm just speculating).
Granted, there are three months left in this year, but overall I'd say 2010 was an excellent year for tv DVD releases, baring other bad economical news I'd like to think 2011 will hold more of the same.
