It was originally supposed to be released in a few days. Why would they wait 10 days before the release date, and change the release date to February?? That's almost half a year! Are they still working on it? If so, they should should've known a month ago that they weren't going to make their...
As of today (8/30), Amazon lowered the price down to $74.99! That's about $9.30 a season.
I know Millcreek's I Dream of Jeannie set was a disaster, but Bewitched is one of my holy grail shows, and I'm happy with Millcreek's Charlie's Angels blu-ray set, so I pre-ordered, and hope that Millcreek...
I agree, so I looked it up. It seems no new episodes were produced between 1974 to 1977. The show remained on the schedule, but the original 16 episodes were rerun instead.
Import CD has it up for pre-order for $88. I never ordered from them before. Are they good? Can I cancel my pre-order if I change my mind or if find it cheaper...
Here are two screen caps I made for our members. The first is from the Sony DVDs, and the second is from the Roku streaming site. I realize that Roku shows it in fake widescreen, but these are new HD prints, and I wanted to show our members who have never seen them to see what the picture...
I will probably be the guinea pig and will pre-order this as soon as its available for a decent price. I've loved this show since I was a child watching reruns in the '70s, and I even bought a Beta VCR in 1983 mainly to record the episodes. I bought the Columbia VHS tapes in the '90s, and then...
Yes, I would prefer the original TV ratio. The end credits looked especially strange when they were cropped for widescreen. I just meant that Catchy is showing them in widescreen so they must be the newer HD prints because it didn't look like the older grainy soft prints.
I never purchased The Monkees on blu nor have I seen the show play in syndication in recent years (not since since Antenna TV had it on their schedule), but today I was pleasantly surprised when I turned on Catchy TV today and saw that they're having a binge weekend. It looks like they are using...
I think I have your set! It sounds the same. I got it before the authorized version game out. I'm glad to have it. I haven't watched them in years, but lately I've been getting the urge to re-watch them because I don't think the show is playing anywhere on TV right now, except maybe one of the...
I think you misunderstood what they were saying. The movies ARE included in the complete series box set, but they are on a separate bonus disc instead of on the "season" disc in which they originally appeared on. I have the complete series box set. Here is a screenshot of the bonus disc menu...
Borrowing Ponset's photo from above post to do a little "then and now" comparison. The house hasn't changed much. Most noticeably missing are the shutters and the steps leading to front door.
I have both sets. I think the 80 episode set has better picture quality IMO but that's because they used mostly recordings from the televised CBN edited episodes. The 64 episode set has more complete unedited episodes but those are mostly from 16mm, and the picture quality is not as good as the...
Good news! The William Windom Tribute Site on youtube has added about six more RARE "lost" Farmer's Daughter episodes recently the past few weeks. I say "lost" because they weren't included on any of the old "fanmade" DVD sets.
Here's the link...
In 1974, the show had just been cancelled and was never really a big hit in the ratings in primetime. It never made the top ten. It was up against Sanford and Son. I think at the time all the producers cared about was making money--not preserving the show unfortunately. They just wanted to...
They didn't film in 16mm. They filmed in 35mm, but some episodes were edited for syndication back in 1970s, so they replaced the missing segments with 16mm copies for the DVDs because they couldn't find them in 35mm.
I just remembered another example of the benefit of broadcast order versus production order: During mid-production of the fifth season of Bewitched, actor Dick York who played Darrin on Bewitched suffered a seizure on the set, and had to quit the show mid-season because of health reasons, so he...
The old 1980s colorization looks bad compared to today's modern attempts like the more recent Lucy/Dick Van Dyke specials. The technique has improved. Plus now, the show can be seen in HD.
They didn't have a variety of colors to choose from back then. Plus its in standard definition. The...
I own the Blu Ray set, and I haven't had any problems with skipping. The picture is amazing and I can see all the fine details I've never noticed before. The discs are hard to remove from the tight pockets, so to avoid scratching them, you might want to store them in different cases.
They did...
I'm fine with just watching Chico and the Man on Tubi. I don't have the urge anymore to record or own every single episode of every TV series that I'm slightly interested in. I already have dozens of DVD sets I purchased over ten years ago collecting dust on my bookshelf, that I haven't finished...
You should send MPI an email, and ask them if you could buy the book separately, and tell them you supported them and bought all the sets individually. The worst they could say is no. They must have extras for replacements.
My Barnaby Jones set has the wallets, too, inside a big, fat black case. I don't mind them. Its easy and convenient to flip through and find the disc you're looking for. I wouldn't be surprised if their new Three's Company complete series set uses them, too.
But the 40th anniversary was in 2017. This must be a re-release of the 2017 release? Maybe they decided to release it again because Suzanne Somers died?
I watched episode 8, "The Veterans" last night, and it had a running time of 25:45. I spot checked a few more episodes from all four seasons, and they average between 24 and 25 minutes. Picture quality is normal for this type of series taped on video in the 1970s, and probably as good as gets.
