    Which is the better Misfits of Science DVD collection, French of German?

    I am considering importing the series and before I take the plunge I thought I would ask. IT is cheaper in Germany plus they have Mr. Terrific and Hiram holliday so I am leaning that way. Actually scratch the Hiram, I found out it is only in German but the other two have English audio. I have...

    Is this DVD Rot on my I Dream of JEannie and Bewitched?

    There are marks on the back of the DVD, smudges and while I had not noticed any on screen problems before today while watching I Dream of Jeannie the middle of the screen went psychadellically green. I would have thought a tube was failing on the tv but it is only persistent in that spot so...

    While watching Three Stooges DVD of Cookoo Cavaliers, I am wondering, is this sort of an homage to W

    is this sort of an homage to Wheeler & Woolsey? I watched it the other day and though I have seen it before, it just struck me like a poke in the eye, and I think the notion might have poked me before but I forgot to pursue it, that The Cuckoos and Cockeyed Cavaliers were Wheeler & Woolsey...

    I have been out of the game for a while though I have checked in from time to time but not enough time. Looking for Screwball, Slapstick, Satire, Farce and Anarchy, preferably from the 30s, 20s and 40s but the 50s to 70s too. I expect Warner has released some more boxsets by now but I do not...

    Why is digital old 4:3 fullscreen narrower than analog 4:# fullscreen on TV broadcast

    I don't understand, there is about an inch and a half difference on either side for a total of three inches larger for old analog signals. I do not see any distortion and I do not notice any slight bars on the top an bottom. Is the digital squeezing or is the analog stretching or perhaps...

    Are there any Radios that pick up HD TV signals?

    I have several of those radios that pick up TV signals, some pretty old and still working. Most only do VHF and one does UHF too. I saw one at Walgreens recently. Pretty soon this feature will be worthless on these old devices it seems. Are there any new devices that fill this task for HD? I...

    My TV is not recognizing widescreen DVDs as Widescreen, also any antenna suggestions?

    I just got an Olevia 42 inch 1080p LCD and 242TFHD and I have a Pioneer 383 S. It is hooked up Component right now and the player is set to a widescreen TV and setting the TV to Aspect, it does not recognize the disc as Widescreen.

    Is there a way to make TV that has firmware updates so as to play PAL and NTSC

    I am still a little ignorant to this. My DVD player can be hacked through firmware to break region coding but what I am asking about is TV.

    Who can release Probe, Phoenix, Covington Cross, Johnny Bago, and The Outlaws?

    The Phoenix was from Mark Carliner Productions, could anyone license this? Probe was from MCA, who owns MCA now? Could it be licensed? Covington Cross was by Thames. Thames made Man About the House, I would imagine this could be licensed as BCI did release Man About the house in the US...

    That's a handful of shows I watched and loved over and over again until my VCR ate the recordings. The Phoenix, from 82 I believe when I was 4 was a favorite and all the rage among older people. I am shocked it was canceled so young. Probe was later in the 80's and featured Parker...
