TVGuide gets the money, but, as Wezzo mentioned, it's a good way for them to gauge audience, so please continue to use them if you'd like to support us (indirectly).

We tried to cover them all, but we really relied on fans to let us know that they were coming out. Stuff like that, the repackaging of sets, skips the usual "marketing/PR" push, so it was harder for us to keep track of.

No, we never had a donation button. Some people would be fine donating money, but I think we'd get a lot of heat for having a donation button on a website owned by a large corporation. I really worry about a lot of the niche websites. Advertising dollars are going to the large social media...

I honestly can't remember how many times TV Guide was bought and sold since we joined them. There was a time when Rovi (the company formerly known as Macrovision) owned us, as well as a brief period when Lionsgate owned the company. And the wonderful part of it is that the users really didn't...

Well, the sale of the site happened back in 2007, so it was around longer being owned by someone else than it had been when I owned it. wish I had gotten "Jump the Shark" money for it!

When you're owned by another party, the decision-making process doesn't always involve you.

You guys are making me tear up (honestly). One thing about selling something, anything really, is that you lose control of it. We've had tons of suggestions of what should or could be done with the site, but it's out of my/our hands. Maybe something will change in the future, but I doubt it...

I was beaten to the news here! It's true - the site is gone. Sorry, folks... that's just the reality of the situation. Had I been able to say something earlier, I would have, but things were still up in the air. As to WHAT we'll be posting to Twitter/FB, it's not going to be as often as we did...

Claude, we managed to get a complete list of the songs cleared for China Beach from Time Life before the set was released: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/China-Beach-Complete-Collection/18122 As for the disclaimer on the back of the box; I know CBS uses this on a TON of their releases, even...

WKRP, yes, because only the first season (out of 4), was ever released, so there's demand there. Quantum Leap would likely fail because the whole thing has been released already, so the only people you're going to sell to are the hardcore fans that weren't happy with the first release, which...

There's an interesting dynamic at play when it comes to the music-laden shows being released by third parties, and it's something that drastically affects the licensing of music... When a major studio looks to clear music for a release, they look to license the song worldwide, in perpetuity...

I can confirm that MHuf is who she says she is. I notified her of this thread, asking her if the information was correct.

Well, the site was never down, browsers were just tossing up warning messages.

We were hacked earlier today. The problem was fixed, but Google hasn't removed the warning yet. Very frustrating! The best part - I'm on vacation, and it's already been pretty bad, and now this. Arrrrgh!

Someone in the thread emailed me through the site and thought I left the thread because people offended me, so I thought I should pop back on here and post again to clear it up. I wasn't offended by anything that was posted in the thread at all. I left because there's nothing more I can...

After reading more of this thread, I'm done. When we have information to share, you can read it on TVShowsOnDVD.com.

If there's a problem with 5 of the discs, they wouldn't destroy the other 28 of them, they'd just fix the bad discs and replicate those. And if there's a problem with all 33, they wouldn't destroy the packaging, so the sets would be recalled, the discs taken out, and new discs put inside.

Except the stock isn't being destroyed. It's being recalled, fixed, then put back out into the marketplace. That is a fact, not a guess.

Except these sets aren't being dumped. Let's say they same from a store named "SuperAwesome." SuperAwesome decided to order 40 sets, and they receive them before the notice of the recall. They pay $150 for each set, and decide to sell them for $225. They've paid CBS/Paramount for those sets. If...

Just curious, but for those that have the set, how will you feel if the coming release of the set turns out to be better than the one you have?

I'm not sure what was said over there, but Paramount distributes the title that CBS releases.

Yes, they respond. I hope to get more information one of these times.

Don't worry, I continue to bug them about the set, not every week, but probably every 2 weeks. Gord

It could be that your friend has a TV with a 120/240 Hz display, and has "smooth motion" or whatever turned on. I think that's the spawn of Satan, and I can't watch anything with that enabled. That's my initial thought anyway.

I think the chances of a Blu-ray release of this are slim-to-none. CBS hasn't had much luck when it comes to TV-on-BD, and I don't see them spending the time and money on doing a BD release of The Fugitive, ESPECIALLY considering their resources are being put into Star Trek: The Next Generation...

Hey, I'm pressing them on a better answer than what we've been given, but they aren't budging.

Where did all this talk about the CD being the reason for the recall start?

Keep in mind It wasn't CBS/Paramount that canceled preorders, it was Amazon that did that. Amazon has done many silly things in the past, so it shouldn't reflect on the status of this set. I'm also not saying this is the case, but in the past there have been technical problems that affect a few...

Ugh, double-post.

At this point I'd suggest people that have the set consider sending their sets back to Amazon. The studio isn't going to be set up for a replacement program on this, especially as it's Amazon that screwed up and sent the sets out early. No doubt someone is giving them s**t for doing that.
