    Dynasty S3 - two families to two volumes.. Bah Humbug Paramount!

    Then let's hope that "Season 3, Volume 1" comes out at a price point below $38.99 then. If not, then that's the end for Dynasty on DVD. And given that Dynasty was a nine-season show, then the likelihood of Paramount releasing the complete series looks pretty slim already.

    Try looking at Amazon. The split volumes are NOT selling at a $20 price point.

    But you ARE paying MORE for combined volumes than you would be for one season set.

    Dynasty S3 - two families to two volumes.. Bah Humbug Paramount!

    I already have all of Dynasty on DVD. I was quite happy to support the official release and replace my DVD-Rs with the "real thing" as they were released. This bit of blatant profiteering has cooled my enthusiasm.

    Dynasty S3 - two families to two volumes.. Bah Humbug Paramount!

    I've just looked at Amazon: Dynasty Season 2 sells at RRP - $38.99 for 22 episodes The two volumes of The Streets Of San Francisco - 14 episodes on volume 1, 13 on volume 2 - RRP $38.99 EACH. The Fugitive - volume 1 (15 episodes) sells for $38.99, volume 2 (to be released in February)...

    Depends entirely on the price point these volumes will sell at.

    Quite. I'd be interested to see what the price point really is for the Dynasty volumes. I suspect season 3 will be the last of Dynasty on DVD.

    Dynasty S3 - two families to two volumes.. Bah Humbug Paramount!

    It all depends on how fast "Season 3, Volume 2" comes out. If we're talking within 6-8 weeks, then fair enough. If it's going to be around 4-6 months, then I can't see any casual buyer actually staying interested enough to bother picking up the following releases. As far as I'm aware...

    Dynasty S3 - two families to two volumes.. Bah Humbug Paramount!

    Still an utterly brain-dead way of releasing a serial, as opposed to a series of self-contained episodes.

    Dynasty S3 - two families to two volumes.. Bah Humbug Paramount!

    No. The "split a season into two volumes" seems to be becoming standard practice with Paramount for archive TV - it's happening with the *first* seasons of The Love Boat, The Mod Squad, The Streets of San Francisco, The Fugitive etc. so actual sales figures are not a factor. Basically...

    Dynasty S3 - two families to two volumes.. Bah Humbug Paramount!

    Looks like we're only going to see season 3 out in 2008, which means that hypothetically if Paramount continue with this schedule season 9 won't be out until 2014 - ridiculous! Dallas is doing fine with season sets - why are Paramount doing this? This is a transparent way of maximising...

    Any word on Knot's Landing season 2?

    The latest word from Warners UK: At present we are looking into releasing further series of Knots Landing but I can not confirm any information at present.
