Any more insider news on this coming to Blu Ray? Or should it last out it's initial streaming period first?

Never give up, never surrender? No wonder Bill Hunt went off his nut recently. For one thing, why would the major studios start an archival line of their own for outside titles? Profit margins are too low unless they already have a decent home video division in place. Even then, it's not very...

Is this still imminent? Or is it now stuck in a loop where different companies are fighting for distribution rights? I wish all studios had programs like Warner Archive. MOD can really be fantastic if done correctly. Hell, I don't mind pressed vs burned discs. If a burned disc only lasts a few...

I would definitely purchase this guaranteed, unless it was some Mill Creek-y type of outfit where all 12-15 chapters are slammed on one disc and interlaced. Is there any more news on this? I know Flash is stuck in "rights hell", but it would sure be great to see it restored. I also wish one of...

I am one of the lucky ones who never purchased this series before. The cheap sets of Desilu and studio shooting kind of put me off. I think watching I Spy spoiled me. However, the strength of the later seasons cast has pulled me back in and I feel confident in purchasing it. Besides, I want to...

I took advantage of Criterion's flash sale and picked up the 100 Years of Olympic Films on BD at 50% off. Not a bad reduction in price considering that it will cost me $270 CDN with shipping instead of the usual cost, which is astronomical when considering the exchange rate and the shipping fee.

I think that I can help you out here. I am from Edmonton, Alberta and currently live in China. I also remember watching this on ITV, which was a local station that was famous for filming SCTV in the 80s in Edmonton. When it switched to Global TV Edmonton, it dropped the show. The name, "The War...

I am also having this issue with my four discs. Does anyone have the right contact info to get any replacement discs from CBS? Thank you all.

I had purchased the 2011 set, and just returned it to Amazon for a full refund. I wanted to let everyone here know that at Costco today, in Canada, I bought the 2012 set for $129.99, much cheaper than anywhere else I have seen it. I am sure Costco in the US will probably also be carrying it. I...

I have purchased the L.A. Law Season 1 DVD set that is being sold by a third party seller on Amazon.com. The box is definitely the UK version, with a Region 2 symbol and ratings listing. However, when it says it plays on all regions on the Amazon listing it turns out they are correct. It plays...

I just picked up both of these films today at my local HMV store here in Canada. I guess someone goofed up and threw them on the shelf a few days early. Also picked up Papillon and Le Mans. As Gods and Generals is the only one I have viewed so far I shall comment on that one. I saw this film...

I shall have to try hitting Enter. If I hit play or pause it does not work for me. Very frustrating for an otherwise decent set.

I really enjoy the set but am having one problem with it. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. If you are watching an episode and you let it stay on either pause or stop for too long it turns over to some Univeral logo and then you cannot re-play from the part where you stopped or...

I totally agree that the Great War should be made available here in Region 1. I personally have owned a region free copy of the series for years (thanks Ebay!) and think it is one of the finest documentaries ever made. It certainly goes hand in hand with the World At War and should be a must-see...

I am really surprised nobody is commenting on this: Amazon - Route 66 Season 1 Part 1 Does anyone have any info on this release? Are the episodes going to be uncut? I, for one, cannot wait to but this show, one of the best series ever made for television, in my opinion. It lists 780...
