    all in the family seasons 7-9

    I'm starting to get the uneasy feeling that the later seasons of this great show have been left for dead by Sony. I'm interested in picking up, at a minimum, seasons 7 & 8 (after which Mike and Gloria move out west). I know that the previous seasons were released slowly and irregularly but we...

    When are We going to see a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Blu-ray Release?!

    I'm hoping against hope that this news isn't true...but as more and more time goes by it's becoming easier to believe that this may become another abandoned series. Come on, Fox...put out the last season of this sci-fi/adventure classic and let's end this thing! (I don't suppose begging could...

    The Descent...R1 Release?

    I believe that this is available in other regions but was wondering if anyone had any information on a region 1 release. Even though this is a 2005 film I don't believe it played in North America until this year. Anyway, I thought it was a darn good film and was wondering what we might expect on...

    When are We going to see a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Blu-ray Release?!

    I had a little bit of trouble finding Season 1,Vol. 2 yesterday. Local Target and Wal-Marts didn't have it. Borders and Circuit City wanted too much for it, in my opinion. Best Buy is a bit of a trip for me in my area. I was able to get it at B.J.'s for $27.99. I watched the the first...

    The Odd Couple Season One? Time-Life Exclusive?

    What's the deal on this release? Is there still a chance that Paramount could release Season 1 at some point this fall or next year? I don't think I'm going to be happy if I shell out $40 now and then it becomes available at retail next spring for $28 or less. It would be nice to know if T/L was...

    A few thoughts about....THE TOWERING INFERNO SPECIAL EDITION (with Photos)

    Ron...thank you for a great first look and your impressions on this new DVD. Like you, I saw this film when I was young and it has captivated me ever since. Fox had indicated that there were "rights issues" for many years that prevented them from working on special editions for this and The...

    King Kong DVD/Poster Question

    I finally got mine yesterday. It took over 12 weeks from the time I mailed in the form (I was starting to lose hope). It came rolled in a tube and was in perfect condition. I framed it and, as others have said, it looks great up on a wall.

    All In The Family

    I don't think there has been any word on future season sets as of yet but I would think it might be a while since Season 5 was released less than 2 months ago and Season 1 of Archie Bunker's Place was released just over a month ago. I'll be buying AITF through season 8 at the end of which Mike...

    The King Of Queens Dvd Stopped Cold ??

    I, and I suspect many others, are wondering the same thing. My wife and I are big fans of the show and have been wondering why there hasn't been a whisper about Season 5 after the first 4 seasons where released on a somewhat regular basis. I know that Sony (I think it's Sony) tends to be very...

    The 2005 "DVDs I got for Christmas" Thread

    I know I'm getting the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection for Christmas from my wife since I bought it myself from DDD when they had their 20% off sale. I'm expecting other DVDs from other relatives (I tried to drop enough hints, at least;) )

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The 40-Year-Old Virgin - Unrated Edition (RECOMMENDED)

    I'm really looking forward to this release. As indicated above, the movie has a nice balance of raunch and tenderness that I liked. Not for everyone, but I found myself blushing:b , laughing my rear off and enjoying just about every minute of it. I hope the extended version doesn't mess with the...

    VOYAGEA TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAS (TV) in Feb!

    Great to finally have confirmation on this:emoji_thumbsup: The release date for this seems to be even sooner than anticipated based on previous information. The long wait is over...:) P.S. I know the earlier episodes included a mini-sub but when was the flying sub first introduced? (I just...

    Great News:emoji_thumbsup: Warner Bros. indicated this was on the way during the March '05 HTF chat. Let's hope that Dog Day Afternoon:SE and Network:SE (also indicated to be in the works at the time of the chat) are not far behind.

    Titanic SE See Post #541 for Update

    Not that this is a big issue but is there any update as to whether or not Paramount will be taking Cameron's mug off the cover or are we stuck with watching him reach for his Oscar ever time we pull this off the shelf? ;)

    The Sting: Universal Legacy Collection (Recommended)

    Mike, There is enough "safe area" to trim without losing anything important. It only requires about 1/8 inch trim around the border to fit inside the case.

    The Sting: Universal Legacy Collection (Recommended)

    I slightly trimmed the paper information sheet on the back so that it would fit in the case (I think I'm advocating a modified aspect ratio for the paper information sheet:b ) As for the film, I thought the 1.85:1 composition worked well even though the director's intended aspect ratio seems to...

    Titanic SE See Post #541 for Update

    Davisdvd.com is also reporting in thier "regional spy" section that the 2 and 4 disc non-Region 1 editions will include DTS-ES 6.1 but the domestic (Region 1) 3 disc set will include only Dolby Digital 5.1 EX. Is it just me or is Region 1 getting screwed more often lately when compared to...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Pretty Woman 15th Anniversary Edition...WARMLY RECOMMENDED...

    David, I believe there is some additional dialogue during the first meeting between Edward and Vivian, a longer restaurant sequence and a longer group of scenes when Edward takes the day off to be with Vivian on their last day together. Does anyone know if the scene with Edward and Vivian on...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Pretty Woman 15th Anniversary Edition...WARMLY RECOMMENDED...

    I had a chance to watch the film on this new DVD last night. As David B. indicated, the new anamorphic transfer is very pleasing and a nice improvement over the earlier letterbox editions. This release is the longer "director's cut" but, unlike the previous DVD releases, there is no mention that...

    When are We going to see a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Blu-ray Release?!

    DVD Review HTF Review: Jaws - 30th Anniversary Edition

    Very nice review, Jason. It sounds like Universal has finally given their customers what they have been asking for (full documentary, original mono track, etc) and didn't get in the previous DVD release (better late than never, I guess). The release date couldn't come soon enough for me!

    Will we ever see a Special Edition DVD of The Poseidon Adventure, how will it sound?

    I, along with many others, have been waiting for many years for improved re-issues of both Irwin Allen's The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno. The current DVD's were among the some of the first Fox releases to the format back in early 1999 if I remember correctly. Though letterboxed...

    Amazon.com (and DeepDiscountDVD) now have the Brady Bunch: The Complete Second Season available for pre-order with a release date of *July 26, 2005*. It looks like the release got pushed back another couple weeks in July. Better late than never :) P.S. - Any way to reflect the July date in...

    Hoosiers, Graduate, Spaceballs, Leone SEs in 2005

    I'd like to know the answer to this question too. A number of people claim that this new version is the same non-anamorphic transfer as the previous SE minus the booklet and bonus materials but it is unclear if anybody knows this by way of actually opening the new version and watching the new...

    Disaster Movies

    The Swarm...just try to ignore the huge holes in the plot, laughable (unintentional) writing, bad acting (ever though it sports a very notable cast) and sub-par special effects and you might just enjoy it :) Actually, the film looks better than ever on DVD and contains an extended version of the...

    Brady Bunch Season 2 on DVD coming in June!

    Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing Tiger in the show after the first season where he is featured in a number of episodes/storylines. I can't believe the dog counldn't be re-cast (if indeed, he was killed in real life) or maybe the dog went the way of Chuck Cunningham on Happy Days(they...
