I've more or less watched the first disc. Yes on laugh tracks. No on Ted Nichols.

On Scooby-Doo BR I do see occasional DVNR destruction of lines and small detail. It's not a highly animated show so the effect is limited. Overall it looks okay, but not a stellar effort by WHV, especially for the price.

I don't know why 8K matters for home use. 4K barely matters, it just bundled into new stuff by default. Sorry to break it to the CE industry, but they hey-day of upgrading everything to get HD isn't coming around again. I can't imagine anything like that is going to drive sales again. If...

The Lippy glitch is just a fancy "transition" effect between the show opening and the title card on a single episode (so far). It doesn't really detract from anything. As the combination of intro and title card/episode may be a reconstruction, the transition effect looks like something that...

I don't expect much, but this is a defect pure and simple. As much as the set cost there should be a disc replacement program. It's frustrating because things like this would no doubt impact the profitability of these releases and make them less and less likely because of how "demanding" the...

It's on my copy too. It's part of the video stream, not a layer transition.

On the New Scooby Movies blu-ray set, the episode The Haunted Showboat with Josie and the Pussycats, in addition to sloppier than usual animation, has severe audio/lip sync issues, particularly early in the episode. Is this a defect of the disc, or was that just intrinsic to the episode itself?

That's about what it looks like. Somewhat soft overall, and some episodes very grainy and occasional dirt and minor film damage. Possible "remastered" but definitely not restored. Colors are decent. At least they don't look like dingy old worn out tape masters.

I don't know why anybody should expect to be paid for a days work more than 60 years ago. Copyright laws are insane. The rest of us have to get up and go to work every day and keep producing, so something like 20-25 years rights protection would seem more than fair to me.

Well I don't disagree. DD for example is probably a much better idea, among others. I hate WBShop, full price and expensive slow shipping privileges, and it's not really even part of WB anyway. I'm making more effort to avoid Amazon generally, but sometimes they just make it too easy, and I'm...

Closest I know of, this is where (what's left) of the old crowd headed after GAC/TTTP: https://www.intanibase.com/forum/

Maybe? I know WA has sometimes pressed an initial run of some of their releases before switching to MOD, and maybe they do pressed for all BD??? Not sure I've ever seen or heard of a BD-R from them, do they do that? Otherwise, at least for DVD, I thought Amazon could produce these and other...

What is it with Amazon all of a sudden? I thought they were getting most of this stuff pretty close to or right on release date, but now weeks or months after my pre-orders they finally let me know they can't deliver Jonny Quest or Popeye until sometime after July??? So I either have to wait...

The DVD set "The Lost Episodes" contains 8 of the 9 previously missing New Scooby-Doo Movies episodes. From an Amazon review they are: 1. A Good Medium is Rare – Phyllis Diller 2. Sandy Duncan’s Jekyll and Hyde – Sandy Duncan 3. The Secret of Shark Island – Sonny and Cher 4. The Haunted...

Yes, if it wasn't clear to anybody, the Blu-ray set is 2 BD-50 discs. Everything but special features is in 1080p HD. The special features are SD 480p content.
