Just fyi, I checked out the digital release of the only remaining two hour episode, Home Again, to see what to expect there for the DVD release, and it is also problematic. Unlike May We Make Them Proud, Home Again was released digitally as one episode, but it plays as a two-part episode...
I've said this elsewhere, but May We Make Them Proud is also missing a scene. It's a Nellie scene.
Nellie serves some chicken to her usual befuddled customer, who calls it burned. She gets mad and takes it away. This is when Albert shows up to give Mary the music box. He runs into Laura in...
I downloaded the HD version of May We Make Them Proud from Amazon the other night, and while there were scenes there I hadn't seen in thirty-five years, I noticed it wasn't complete. There's a scene with Nellie serving a customer raw chicken that occurred as Albert came to give Mary the music...
Looking at all this debate over the lengths of various cuts, I can't help but think how cool a cut that clocks in at 4 20 would be for this particular film. Hope some official confirmation from Criterion comes soon...
I am a completist. If I start buying a series on DVD, I plan to buy the whole series. It's just that certain series end, in my mind, before their network runs actually ended. As far as I'm concerned, The Andy Griffith Show ended after Season Five and Barney's departure. Party of Five (if they...
Has Roseanne herself said anything about this? Doesn't she have a website? I can't believe, knowing how much she fought with the powers that be while her show was on, that she wouldn't be vocal and take some kind of stand on this herself if she knew her fans were upset. I know she doesn't have...
All I can say is, twelve discs over three years and still no room for "Hare Trigger" or "Racketeer Rabbit"? What did I do to WB that they consistently leave off my favorites?
I can't believe someone posted about this seemingly long-dropped show and bang, it gets announced. Jon Martin, can you post a thread requesting Homefront on DVD?
I like Judy Garland and Run-DMC. You lost me with the Hall and Oates greenlight on "Jingle Bell Rock," though. As far as Christmas line exchanges, my friends and I can't watch the scene in "Muppet Christmas Carol" where Tiny Tim starts exclaiming (I'm paraphrasing): "Oh, Peter, the goose! The...
That's amazing, that others out there have tapes from the marathon as well. I was teased mercilessly by friends for staying by the TV with my alarm clock for the entire weekend as "Homefront" ran for 43 hours. A lot of them were later hooked by those tapes, though.
Well, I'm certainly not a Warner Bros. decision-maker, or it would have been on DVD long ago. Not many people seem to have heard of "Homefront," but the people who do remember it LOVE it. And they would buy a DVD set in a heartbeat. I myself would probably buy at least six sets, since I would be...
Can anyone checking in here on Season 5 tell me a good way to find a replacement disc for Season 4? My Season 4 Disc 3 stopped working. I tried checking ebay, but could only find complete sets.
I'm glad to see they included the complete "Mr. Monotony" outtake on the bonus disc. It's maddening that it's not complete in the film version of Part III. But why wouldn't they include the complete versions of the other outtakes which were edited in Part III? I'd like to see the complete...
I bought a second copy, but it's the same: sound in the final scene is much worse than all that preceded it. Thanks to Bill Huelbig for confirming I'm not crazy. My VHS copy doesn't have any noticeable drop in sound quality at the end of the film. It's especially disappointing given that the...
I haven't heard anyone else mention sound issues in the last act of Ghost and Mrs. Muir. The sound on my disc sounds like it's coming out of a tin can, beginning with the crashing waves as the scene changes to the final, "old lady" scene where Tierney is in heavy age makeup. It sounds terrible...
Here's a second to the 1940 "Remember the Night," now #1 on my Christmas Wish List. The better-remembered Barbara Stanwyck Christmas film may be "Christmas in Connecticut," but I'll take "Night" over ten "Connecticuts" any day.
RobinO, thank you for repeating "Homefront," so now I don't feel alone for repeating it as well. It's my most-wished-for DVD, and probably the one from my wish list with the least chance of being produced. I'll second "Family Ties" and "Roseanne" from the list.
Wait....I've had the VHS for years, and I've always noticed this "fuzziness" as well. I don't have any definite information, but I always assumed if there was any censoring going on, it was at MGM in 1942...
Most of "Little House" Seasons 3 and 4 have been cut, and the cuts are the same as the traditional syndication cuts seen in reruns. The company that produces them say they're just using what NBC gave them. I think these shows have been neglected for so long, sitting around in cut-for-syndication...
I have to second Remember the Night. It's been on my wish list for years, and now that a lot of other classics have made it to disc, it's now on my top ten.
Anyone know Columbia's track record on replacing music for TV shows (if they have a track record)? I have never purchased a set w/ replaced music, so I'm wondering how much music is generally "replaced." There are some episodes from Season 3 of this series which featured songs which I think I...
Are any of the Region 1 discs of his early films satisfactory at all? I'm not talking about Criterion....I would love to see Sabotage, Young and Innocent, and the first The Man Who Knew Too Much, but I'm wondering if any of the budget releases available at my local store are worth the...
Well, you know it's either Lindsay OR Sidney, since they're twins, right? But I'm with you: I'd be happy if Karen Grassle's face were alone the side of EVERY season. Ma rules.
I've said it before, but since others brought it up first...."Homefront" is far and away number one on my wish list for DVD release. I'd do (almost) anything if the powers that be would make those two sublime seasons available on DVD.
While waiting for the big announcement, can any of you rabid MST3K fans tell me what film features this scene: a skinny teenage boy, dressed like Gilligan w/ the red shirt, sitting on a bed while one of the robots sings Sarah McLachlan ("And I will be the one, to hold you down...") For some...
Hey, I'm just happy they're being released. There are a few other series I would kill to own on DVD, but unfortunately I don't think they have a prayer of being released in my lifetime.
