The Amazing Stories Season 1 re-release coming March 13th is an odd choice for Universal considering that the original Season 1 release from 2006 was also on 4 single-sided discs just like this re-release. The only thing that has changed appears to be the box/packaging as well the wording...

Jason: I am right there with you! I would buy complete series releases of Earth 2 and SeaQuest on single-sided DVDs in a heartbeat.

JR: Thank you for sharing the fantastic news! I can wait to dump my flippers which pixelated and froze.

I just wish Universal would finally get around to re-releasing Alfred Hitchcock Presents Season One on single-sided discs! And then release Season Seven.

John: I can confirm that all of the the bonus features on the complete series release were ported over from the seasons 2 and 3 individual releases. So if someone already owns the all three individual season sets there is no reason to buy the complete series since there is nothing new in it.

Season 1 of both McCloud and Emergency are being re-released on single-sided discs: http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/McCloud-season-1-rerelease/23191 http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Emergency-season-1-rerelease/23190 I hope they get around to re-releasing Alfred Hitchcock Presents Season One in...

I'll add a fourth possible reason: substandard disc manufacturing or authoring.

Randy: The pixelation and freezing issues with Universal's DVD-18 flipper discs is actually well documented especially with sets such the 2004 Universal Monster legacy sets (which they eventually re-released on single-sided discs in 2014), the 2005 Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season One, the...

They started off Season 6 as burned DVD-R discs but then, without any notification, switched to pressed discs.

Since they appear to be on such a kick reissuing single-sided versions of tv series that that originally released on flippers, I hope Universal finally gets around to re-releasing Alfred Hitchcock Presents Season One on single-sided discs.

Agreed, Dana.

As we suspected, tvshowsondvd.com is reporting a bare-bones set with no extras: http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Kolchak-Night-Stalker-The-Complete-Series/22512 I think we can also safely assume no remastering as well.

Barnes and Noble has the reissued Kolchak series for $20.44: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-kolchak-the-night-stalker/30164245?ean=0025192369100

Awesome news, John; thanks for the post! I bought the series when it first came out and thankfully have not had a problem with the double-sided discs but I am certainly buying this sing-sided disc set for peach of mind.

The last time I purchased Alfred Hitchcock Presents was August 2013 (I had purchased and returned it twice previously due to freezing and pixelating problems) and I still encountered freezing and pixelating problems on Disc #1, so I had to return it yet again. I would be a single-sided disc...

I hope it works out on the first try. It took me about 4 or 5 tries to finally get a set that played without freezing or pixelation.

I would love to see a complete series release of single-sided pressed discs of both Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour in Region 1 (like Madman Entertainment did in Region 4) but have very little faith that Universal would do it as they went the DVD-R MOD route for Season...
