…Hasbro Toys! I'm not even a rap fan but I thought this was too funny not to mention.

Before there was Avenue Q and Happytime Murders, and more than a decade before Peter Jackson made Lord of the Rings, he made Meet the Feebles. The DVDs are better than nothing, but since they are taken from the same masters as VHS, they barely cut it in 2018. Only trouble is, no one seems to...

My paternal grandmother died yesterday at age 98 after struggling with some form of dementia for the past couple of years. She was the last of my grandparents to go, I watched her slowly degenerate until she literally could not walk, talk, or do anything for herself. And having an uncle with...

So says Deadline. And when it was a new show, it overlapped with What's Happening Now, The New Gidget, The New Munsters, Star Trek: The Next Generation, The New Leave it to Beaver, The New Monkees, The Bradys (the one where Marcia's a drunk), and reboots of Mission: Impossible, Police Story...

In the 1980s and 1990s, celebrities used to go on ET to talk about their latest work. They'd even have segments about classic movies with Leonard Maltin. Now it's just another "who's sleeping with who" show. At what point did it get to that point?

Now this is something I never thought I'd see, especially since it was shot on tape, but am pleasantly surprised and cautiously optimistic for. No mention of what the aspect ratio would be for the episodes themselves, but I assume they'd leave them in 4x3. The pre-Blu-Ray days when Sony pulled...

The Peter Pan thread got me thinking. I have a few laserdiscs lying around, so I should try to find a way to watch them. My AV receiver (STR-DH820) has an odd quirk: it can output 1080p video via HDMI from a 480i component source — in this case, a Pioneer CLD-D406 laserdisc player. But since it...

Variety has the sad news here.

Nice to see it up, but exactly what is the basis for a TV-PG rating for this particular show? I don't even remember them ever using profanity when other family sitcoms of this era got the occasional four-letter word (albeit not any from George Carlin's list). This wasn't even one of the episodes...

Lately, when I have clicked on my profile page, I have seen the word gender instead of sex. Why is that? Is there any option to use the word sex instead?

A French gay-themed film about ACT UP activists in the late 1990s who are so fed up with what they consider to be insufficient research and action on the part of both drug companies and the Mitterand government, the film also deals with a love story between two members there. One of whom, Sean...

After seeing three superior gay-themed films (one in English, one in French, and one with no spoken dialogue at all) totally shut out by Oscar for an inferior one, I have vowed not only am I not going to watch it this year, I will never watch it again. I'm just going to watch another movie that...

Title: Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) Genre: Family, History, Drama Director: Simon Curtis Cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie, Kelly Macdonald, Will Tilston, Alex Lawther, Nico Mirallegro, Stephen Campbell Moore, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Geraldine Somerville, Richard McCabe, Shaun...

For anyone who doesn't want to grow old waiting for the rest of these shows on official DVDs, I have news to report. At my Mom's house, she gets FamilyNet on digital cable, so I decided to watch a few to see how the channel treated them. Well, I couldn't be more thrilled with the fact that they...

I bought this from Amazon hoping it would be better than the endless public domain versions that scarcely look better than an off-air recording from the 1970s. But then I put it in my PS4, and the thing wouldn't even play! To think a Sony DVD won't play on a machine made by Sony! I tried it on...

To anyone upset by the absence of Peanuts theatrical features on Blu-ray: the wait is half-over. First the good news: The first two are coming this Wednesday from a company in Australia called Based on the running time, I can assume that A Boy Named Charlie Brown is the longer theatrical cut...

The 1985 Anne of Green Gables is coming to Blu-ray on September 22 from eOne Entertainment at a much more reasonable price than the Japanese box set.

Inspired by the "episodes out of syndication" thread, I wonder how many of you remember times when a channel rerunning a show pulled episodes in order to censor them. The one I remember most clearly is the last show you'd expect to be censored because there is nothing to censor: Punky...

I've been watching this show, which I never watched in its original CBS run, on Hulu and I absolutely adore it, especially Christine Baranski's character. It's a fairly music-heavy show; not WKRP-level, but enough to keep it off of DVD in this country. There is a UK box set from Anchor Bay but I...

Now, I never watched this show, but as someone who has followed the studios' release patterns and tried to make some sense out of them, I thought this was interesting.

StarVista is handling the release, according to TVShowsonDVD.com who heard it through the grapevine :P. I wonder if they'll finally show the full Supremes performance.

We all know what happened with the Season 5 episode "Like the Beep Beep Beep of the Tom Tom" and its 30 second missing scene that explains why there's no microwave in the kitchen in any episode after this. I have the scene, and now you can watch it, too. I'm not convinced there's not a copy...

Dear Disney, Lately our relationship hasn't been what it used to be, and it's not me, it's you. Okay, maybe it is me a little. I have changed. I've grown older, wiser, more mature since the good old days when Ashman and Menken could do no wrong, Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue notwithstanding...

Three releases I never thought I'd see due to the legal nightmares that entangled them are finally coming out the same year (whether they'll actually satisfy fans, we have yet to find out). What's left that has that level of fan interest plus legal circumstances keeping it away from DVD?

Title: Dumbo (2019) Genre: Adventure, Family Director: Tim Burton Cast: Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, Finley Hobbins, Nico Parker, Alan Arkin, Sandy Martin, Joseph Gatt, Deobia Oparei, Kamil Lemieszewski, Sharon Rooney, Douglas Reith, Roshan Seth, Lampros...

Bing Crosby Productions produced them, making me think they ended up at Paramount, like Hogan's Heroes did. No such luck. Prism Home Video did the VHS releases of both in the 1980s. The 2003 Crispin Glover remake of Willard was done by New Line Cinema, and it must have flopped hard because it...

I just got back from a 35mm screening of Michael Ritchie's 1975 film Smile, and not only does it hold up extremely well as a film, as a satire of beauty pageants and the whole idea of trying to put on a pleasant façade when your life is going to #2, but the quality of the print (yes, it had the...
