    What you you think will happen next with the Saturday Night Live season sets?

    This is probably just a convenient way to get around the problem of Seasons 6, 7, 8, 9, etc. and how they undoubtedly probably wouldn't sell that well. I'm sure there was probably a big drop-off in sales with each successive season of the first five seasons (I haven't even gotten around to...

    Next SNL Release

    Well, I'm not exactly sure why my post was removed, considering we're talking about something that will probably never be released commercially, but sorry. But anyway, my point was don't expect "The Complete 6th Season" any time soon (or probably ever).

    Saturday Night Live-Season 5...Any News?

    Over at the saturday-night-live.com message board, there are reports of people asking this question of Lorne and him saying the same thing. In fact, don't be surprised if they jump to an era later than the '86 season, either (although I don't think anything has been officially decided yet).

    SNL Season Four Announced

    I just can't really see Lorne authorizing DVD sets of eras where he wasn't the producer of the show. The only real merchandise currently available that even acknowledges the Ebersol era is "The Best of Eddie Murphy" DVD. Even in the clip shows you barely see a sketch from that era represented...

    Monty Python's Flying Circus- Collector's Edition

    Yeah, stuff like that I know about, but the 3 examples I listed were human error in transferring the episodes to DVD. Someone didn't realize the "Dad's Pooves" sketch was part of that episode (since it appears after the final BBC logo as a post-credits sketch) and they just left it off the DVD...

    Monty Python's Flying Circus- Collector's Edition

    Ok, that's what I thought, but thanks for verifying it anyway.

    Monty Python's Flying Circus- Collector's Edition

    I know this new boxset, which came out November 18th, has some additional extras that weren't in the previous A&E boxset (i.e. the Personal Best DVDs, and some new documentaries). What I'm curious about is whether they have fixed some of the faults with the previous set. Specifically, is the...

    The IT Crowd

    Up until recently, "The IT Crowd" Season 1 was scheduled to be released January 22nd. In fact, there's even a review of the set up at tvshowsondvd.com which appeared on January 2nd, so clearly the discs are done and ready to be released. Now I see on the site that the release date is showing...

    Young Ones- Extra Stoopid Edition

    It's kind of an interesting situation- you may want to actually hold on to the "Every Stoopid Episode" set even if you buy the "Extra Stoopid" version. Basically, this new "Extra Stoopid" edition features the episodes as they originally aired on TV. So all the original music is intact- besides...

    Young Ones- Extra Stoopid Edition

    IMDB and Amazon.com both seem to confirm that the R1 release is identical to the R2 release. I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, as no Border's in my area had a copy- I had to order it and I should be getting it in a few days. But I have confidence after what I've read online that all the music...

    Young Ones- Extra Stoopid Edition

    This isn't due out until November 13th in the US, but a DVD set which appears to be the Region 2 equivalent has just come out in the UK. Reports from various message boards indicate that the episodes on the Region 2 set are exactly as originally aired and unedited. The music-copyright issues...

    Wonder Showzen Season 1-Edit?

    I was watching the Wonder Showzen DVD today, and I noticed that one of the episodes appears to be edited. In the "Ocean" episode (#3 on the disc), there is a cartoon called "HOBO OPS" that is about a squadron of Vietnam veterans who are now homeless. The end of the episode features a little boy...

    Undeclared episode order?

    I can't post the complete link, but if you go to tv.com you can see the production numbers for all the Undeclared episodes. It seems strange that they wouldn't put them in the correct order on the set, especially given the care that went into the "Freaks and Geeks" DVD set... Aww, what the...

    Simpsons Season Six- June 14th

    The Fox Tv-on-DVD flier that came with the Season 4 "King of the Hill" set said "Simpsons Season 6- Coming in June" I'm going to assume this information is old and no longer correct, but just thought I'd pass it along.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Anchorman (Unrated, Uncut & Uncalled For)

    The weirdest thing has happened. My "Wake Up, Ron Burgundy" disc, which had been working fine, has suddenly decided to stop working. When I put it in, it plays the Dreamworks logo, and then won't go the main menu. By fiddling around with the "menu" button, I eventually got the menu screen to...

    SNL "Best of" Sets - Lion's Gate or Trimark

    I got the Costco giant set for Christmas, and it is all Lion's Gate releases, except for "The Best of Chris Rock" which is the Trimark release. This is kind of annoying. I almost feel like I want to get the Lion's Gate Chris Rock DVD just so the collection will look nicer as a set (the Lion's...

    King of The hill season 3

    The fact that they crammed the 25 episodes onto three discs (meaning that episodes 1-5 are on one side of a "flipper" disc, and episode 6-10 on the other side) also seems very cheap and indicative of a "we don't care" attitude to me. Disappointing.

    The Simpsons: Season Five - 12/21

    I was just going to write a message about this, but I guess I'm relieved other people are having this problem too. Actually, the same thing happens when I play the illustrated commentaries on the Season 4 set too. It seems like the DVD starts skipping. Otherwise the DVDs play fine. I'm at a loss...

    Ren and Stimpy advance reviews

    Before I lay down money for this DVD set, I would really like to know for sure whether those 5 episodes are the only ones that are edited. It's unfortunate that there are some missing scenes, although most of them sound minor (the "whistling" thing being missing from Big Baby Scam is certainly...

    Any word on Andy Richter?

    There are five episodes that didn't air on FOX. Two of them are actually FIRST season episodes. FOX really screwed around with the scheduling with this show, airing first season episodes in the middle of the second season, and wildly out of order.

    News About Arrested Development on DVD

    The episodes were mostly shown in production order, but there was a little bit of weirdness with episodes 104, 105, and 106. Apparently because it was a sweeps month, Fox decided to run episodes 105 and 106 (which began the Liza Minelli "Lucille 2" storyline) before airing episode 104. The...

    Ben Stiller Show DVD Cancelled!!?

    I don't know what this means, but Amazon's Canadian site has the release date listed as October 21st. If you go to the regular Amazon site, it still says the release date is undecided, but amazon.ca has the Oct. 21st date (and it is a Region 1 release). And Stiller does have a movie coming...

    Upright Citizens Brigade on DVD November 4th

    According to the Upright Citizens Brigade message board, the first season of the UCB television show will be coming out on DVD on November 4th. I recently got an e-mail from Comedy Central that confirms this, and mentions several other upcoming releases: Lewis Black: Unleashed- September 23...

    AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON.... anybody get it yet?

    I've had the network TV version of the movie on tape for a while. The TV cut includes the "Peter Pan Theater", "French Ventriloquist Dummy", and the introductory part of the wake/roast sketch with Robert Picardo meeting the wife. All 3 scenes are included on the DVD. There's an additional sketch...

    Oops. Sorry. I didn't realize this was a no-no. It won't happen again.

    "Mr. Show" Season 3 DVD...A week early?

    The removedflyer in the Sunday paper this morning has "Mr. Show..the Complete 3rd Season" pictured along with the other releases for Aug. 19th, even though the announced release date is Aug. 26th. They did recently have "Rocky and Bullwinkle" a week early, so it's possible they might have it in...

    "King of the Hill" Season 2...delayed?

    For a long time, I had seen a release date of November 11th for the second season set of "King of the Hill". Now, it seems to have disappeared as a release from the tvshowsondvd.com web page, and is gone from that date listing as well. Checking Amazon, they have a "This title is not currently...
