    Doctor Who: The Collection Season 2

    Looking at a few minutes of "The Chase," followed by the first episode of "Planet of Giants," I"m quite happy with the picture quality. Also happy with the copious bonus material. And happily anticipating rewatching hours of Hartnell fun. The burning question is answered: for US audiences, The...

    "Who's that girl?" (/Madonna) ;) 2-episode-per-disc original DVD release (2001): "Reena" Season set DVD release (2004) (un-remastered): "Reena" Season set DVD release (2008) ("remastered" / CGI effects): "Rayna"

    Scott Atwell Star Trek Discussion thread (Series and Films)

    Thank you, ScottRE, for catching the different credit cards and screencaps. It was just this past Friday night that I regained the original-release 40-DVD version of TOS, so was able to check that ("Reena"), the season DVD set ("Reena") and the remastered season DVD set ("Rayna"). I agree...

    Emergency! fifth-season blurb differences

    "The Wedsworth - Townsend Act" is included on disc 1 of season 1, the pilot TV movie. Can't speak to a 5th-season two part clip show, but is it possible you're thinking of "Greatest Rescues of Emergency," one of the specials in the year after the 6th season (collected in "...The Final...

    Scott Atwell Star Trek Discussion thread (Series and Films)

    Thanks to fan-boy-type record keeping, I can say this will be at least the 15th time I've seen a cut of the film in a theater (whether 35mm, 70mm, or DCP) since 1979. Not counting hands-on running a 16mm print at a convention, viewing a 35mm run at a college.... ;)

    Jumping back up-thread a bit, I'll confirm the original music for "City on the Edge..." was included on at least the first copies of the all-series tape releases. I bought those ten-per-release tapes on Beta & kept them well past the first DVD releases; have just a few Betas on hand now (sold...

    I'd thought the viewings on Para+ might suffice, but... Monday evening; we're the first couple committed then. Unfortunately, other things going on today.

    Question about "The Avengers" TV series

    Here's a cut 'n paste of my 2014 review on Amazon: Based on viewing one episode from this package and a quick look at the A&E DVD transfer, the picture quality is vastly improved. Obviously better resolution on the Blu Ray, plus a better source print. The sound, however, has been rechanneled...

    Scott Atwell Star Trek Discussion thread (Series and Films)

    This past week my wife and I spent a few days of vacation with a college-era friend of mine, first time we'd been able to visit in about 22 years (contact's been kept by email, etc.) In keeping with "it's been a long time," we watched some stuff -- old school. 16mm film. "Home Theater" indeed...

    HTF DVD REVIEW: THRILLER Complete Series DVD Set

    Interesting discussion. Looks like a few years back I got one of the 4GB sets too - around $35, new, with hype sticker as pictured elsewhere in this thread. I didn't have any issues with it*, have been slowly watching an episode here & there as time permits. Pic quality seemed OK, the disc inner...

    Prime Days 2021 Anyone find anything good?

    Monty Python would be wonderfully tempting if I hadn't bought it pre-release from Network. :) On the other hand, Wonder Woman '84 (simple blu-ray) was $12.99 on Saturday. We bit, ordered a few accompanying items. Yesterday we received notification that WW84 was shipping separately, arriving...

    The Twilight Zone (CBS All Access)

    It's probably well-known that the second season will see DVD release on January 12 '21. Looking in on another forum, there will also be a BD-R (MOD) release, which is probably what I'll (blind) buy. Haven't budgeted for CBS streaming in-home; I'm content to bring in physical media for the...

    Pre-Order Psycho (1960) 60th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Same as Rodney above; my replacement replacement blu-ray disc arrived today. It does have the correct mono soundtrack.

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Like some others, I did receive a replacement disc (regular blu-ray), tossed bare into a padded envelope. The pressing numbers are different*, but the 2.0 "original mono track" does appear to be, again, the fold-down of the multichannel / added effects track, based on one shot very late in the...

    Pre-Order Psycho (1960) 60th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I just received the same sort of response - essentially a carbon copy of my submitted information and remarks / request. I'll assume that's a confirmation USHE has collected my information and will eventually route it to their replacement vendor.
