As I posted on the TVShowsOnDVD Facebook page, in the comments for the link to today's story/press release, StarVista/Time-Life directly informed me about how they handled the few songs which did not clear: "NO scenes were cut; and in each case we replaced the music with similar music, most of...

As a kid who watched every episode (or I suppose it was) of Addams Family before first catching Batman...I loved, loved, LOVED Astin as Gomez. Did then, do now. But when I first saw him as The Riddler, little kid me was like, "Whyyyyyyyyyy??????....." I'm looking forward in November to seeing it...

"Now and Again" (not to be confused with "Once and Again") came out of that top ten list at the exact same time as those did, when we added "complete series" release listings for all three of these shows. I think that was the biggest change in the list at once time, ever. The next-closest big...

Sorry for being so late to reply to this, Mike...I've had a swamped week. My boy isn't 5 any more...he's about to start 11th grade next Monday, and I've been splitting time between work and getting him ready for back-to-school! :DI am so very glad you're up and around these days, and well...

I'll just say that I copied and pasted the disc-by-disc breakdowns, precisely as shown, straight from Warner's password-protected B2B site. If there is a factual error, it's on the studio's side. I was slow and careful, painstakingly making sure that I didn't make any mistakes when putting my...

By the way, these are also closed captioned.

Exclusive info from your friends at TVShowsOnDVD.com: Time Life informs us, "We're working on a music-focused press release now that will list all the songs cleared. We've said that over 95% of the songs are cleared; I actually think the number is higher but we're doing a final count now. And...

The press release is up... http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Wonder-Years-The-Complete-Series/20053 ...and it's $249.95 for The Complete Series (26 DVDs, packed with on-disc bonus material, in collectible "locker" packaging). An extra fifty dollars gets you "The Wonder Years Experience" with...

I wonder if sometimes this is why music rights owners (and these are not always the artists, by the way!) will balk at agreeing to a license. If the terms of the agreement are very vague ("all possible uses for all time" is pretty vague wording, you must admit), then perhaps that is why they...

As usual, I'm a few days late (and a few dollars short), but WELCOME HOME, MIKE! I'm glad to see my Round-Up successor back at home and in-saddle, and doing well enough to post on HTF once again. I'm VERY glad for you, buddy. Keep getting better and better, okay?

Ron1973, and Robert, thanks for understanding about not copying the entire story here. Here's a working link to the story at our site.As far as pricing goes, especially where the music clearances come into play with that and whether any large numbers of songs might have to be missed (i.e., the...

I. Feel. SOOOOO. Awful!!!Those of you who know my name, know that I was the originator of the Weekly Roundup, and turned it over to Mike to do when my work as the "news guy" at TVShowsOnDVD began keeping me busy enough to prevent me from spending time doing the research necessary to produce the...

As the news guy for the site, I have to admit that doing this, and ONLY this, is a terrible way to find out what TV-DVDs you want to buy. If you overlook a news item for something you want, you never know it came out (or is coming out). I'm constantly both amused and frustrated by readers who...

That's unfortunate, because at TVShowsOnDVD.com we NEVER cover items which are available only at one brick-and-mortar retailer, at the expense of all the others. If this title becomes available for general release later on, then we will cover it.
