At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I haven't had a single problem with ANY release from Universal. Maybe I have been lucky. I only wish I could know for a fact that no more "Quincy" seasons will be released, then I could go back to transferring my VHS tapes of the series from A & E...

I must say, I have never had a problem with any title put out by Universal. Sorry to hear that you have.

Hopefully that won't be the case. When I see the crap that is being put out on DVD today, it makes me wonder a great deal. Maybe I should stop wondering!

Who are you speaking of?

Why? are THEIR players allergic to Universal?

I meant series such as COLUMBO, MURDER, SHE WROTE, ROCKFORD FILES, etc. Those have been coming quickly, where QUINCY has not.

Has anyone heard anything regarding the release (or why the delay) of "Quincy" season 3? It's been quite awhile since the 1st and 2nd seasons were released and Universal's been fairly quick with their other title releases.

Gary, I couldn't agree with you more. This is a case of what IS being said vs. what ISN'T. The poster on the A&C board is merely reporting on what he was told by Passport, which sad to say, is untrue. My OWN annoyance is with Passport, not the poster. Likewise, I am simply reporting on what I...

Exactly, Carlos. Here are the running times of both questioned episodes, from both companies: "ALASKA" - Passport Video, 22:23 - Shanachie, 26:12 "CHARITY BAZAAR" - Passport Video, 22:25 - Shanachie, 25:58 I'm probably going to be told next that my equipment is faulty :)

No, the 2 episodes that ARE sped up on the Passport release are NOT sped up on the Shanachie release. I have double checked them carefully, and I assure you that the Shanachie dubs are perfect regarding the 2 episodes in question. Passport's very recent release has those 2 episodes most...

Here is the link for Passport Entertainment, for those who want to write them regarding the 2 discs that contain the very noticeable time-compressed episodes. Hey, it can't hurt. We should ask for discs that are properly made and a replacement should be in order to those who have already bought...

Maybe the editors of tvshowsondvd.com could contact the company that transferred this set to see if they could do something about the 2 discs containing the sped-up discs. They seem to get replies and/or action regarding problem discs, and this may be worth a try.

There was quite a delay with Shanachie releasing the volume containing "Jail". I had called them to ask why there was a delay, and it seems they had to obtain a print from The Library of Congress, as no other print was available as the other 51 episodes were. There is a noticeable difference in...

Well, I grew up watching these shows originally on WPIX, channel 11, during the 50's and 60's when they ran them in the late afternoon (followed by The Three Stooges) LOL! I know that somewhere during the mid to late 80's or very early 90's they were being run by WOR-TV, channel 9 at 10 AM. At...

I feel they could have done a better job, to be honest. I see no improvement in either video or audio quality over the previous release of this same series from Shanachie Entertainment Corp. True, when Shanachie put them out they mixed the episodes from both seasons, releasing 4 episodes per...
