    "Quincy, M.E.", Season 3 where are you?

    At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I haven't had a single problem with ANY release from Universal. Maybe I have been lucky. I only wish I could know for a fact that no more "Quincy" seasons will be released, then I could go back to transferring my VHS tapes of the series from A & E...

    "Quincy, M.E.", Season 3 where are you?

    I must say, I have never had a problem with any title put out by Universal. Sorry to hear that you have.

    "Quincy, M.E.", Season 3 where are you?

    Hopefully that won't be the case. When I see the crap that is being put out on DVD today, it makes me wonder a great deal. Maybe I should stop wondering!

    Why? are THEIR players allergic to Universal?

    "Quincy, M.E.", Season 3 where are you?

    I meant series such as COLUMBO, MURDER, SHE WROTE, ROCKFORD FILES, etc. Those have been coming quickly, where QUINCY has not.

    "Quincy, M.E.", Season 3 where are you?

    Has anyone heard anything regarding the release (or why the delay) of "Quincy" season 3? It's been quite awhile since the 1st and 2nd seasons were released and Universal's been fairly quick with their other title releases.

    The Abbott & Costello Show: 100th Anniversary Collection Season 1 DVD Box Reviews?

    Gary, I couldn't agree with you more. This is a case of what IS being said vs. what ISN'T. The poster on the A&C board is merely reporting on what he was told by Passport, which sad to say, is untrue. My OWN annoyance is with Passport, not the poster. Likewise, I am simply reporting on what I...

    The Abbott & Costello Show: 100th Anniversary Collection Season 1 DVD Box Reviews?

    Exactly, Carlos. Here are the running times of both questioned episodes, from both companies: "ALASKA" - Passport Video, 22:23 - Shanachie, 26:12 "CHARITY BAZAAR" - Passport Video, 22:25 - Shanachie, 25:58 I'm probably going to be told next that my equipment is faulty :)

    The Abbott & Costello Show: 100th Anniversary Collection Season 1 DVD Box Reviews?

    No, the 2 episodes that ARE sped up on the Passport release are NOT sped up on the Shanachie release. I have double checked them carefully, and I assure you that the Shanachie dubs are perfect regarding the 2 episodes in question. Passport's very recent release has those 2 episodes most...

    The Abbott & Costello Show: 100th Anniversary Collection Season 1 DVD Box Reviews?

    Here is the link for Passport Entertainment, for those who want to write them regarding the 2 discs that contain the very noticeable time-compressed episodes. Hey, it can't hurt. We should ask for discs that are properly made and a replacement should be in order to those who have already bought...

    The Abbott & Costello Show: 100th Anniversary Collection Season 1 DVD Box Reviews?

    Maybe the editors of tvshowsondvd.com could contact the company that transferred this set to see if they could do something about the 2 discs containing the sped-up discs. They seem to get replies and/or action regarding problem discs, and this may be worth a try.

    The Abbott & Costello Show: 100th Anniversary Collection Season 1 DVD Box Reviews?

    There was quite a delay with Shanachie releasing the volume containing "Jail". I had called them to ask why there was a delay, and it seems they had to obtain a print from The Library of Congress, as no other print was available as the other 51 episodes were. There is a noticeable difference in...

    The Abbott & Costello Show: 100th Anniversary Collection Season 1 DVD Box Reviews?

    Well, I grew up watching these shows originally on WPIX, channel 11, during the 50's and 60's when they ran them in the late afternoon (followed by The Three Stooges) LOL! I know that somewhere during the mid to late 80's or very early 90's they were being run by WOR-TV, channel 9 at 10 AM. At...

    The Abbott & Costello Show: 100th Anniversary Collection Season 1 DVD Box Reviews?

    I feel they could have done a better job, to be honest. I see no improvement in either video or audio quality over the previous release of this same series from Shanachie Entertainment Corp. True, when Shanachie put them out they mixed the episodes from both seasons, releasing 4 episodes per...

    Jackie Gleason Show and The Honeymooners Color Coming

    Actually Jeff, there were 26 half-hours produced for Showtime in 1988. Yes, I have also heard that dealing with Gleason lawyers and reps has been difficult. Maybe they are beginning to realize that setting their expectations TOO high isn't such a good plan afterall. There's a market out there...

    Jackie Gleason Show and The Honeymooners Color Coming

    Paul Brownstein Productions originally marketed The Color Honeymooners seen on Goodlife. He was also attempting to sell full length versions of American Scene Magazine. Let's hope that MPI not only picked up the rights to the color shows, but that wonderful variety hour JG did from 1962-66. I...

    The Cosby Show - Season 1 Announced

    OK....so do we know definitely whether they ARE or ARE NOT the syndicated prints vs. the NBC originals? I have yet to see anything in print anywhere that conclusively states without a doubt a simple "yes" or "no".

    The Cosby Show - Season 1 Announced

    I'm sure glad I taped every episode from NBC and kept them. I'll make my own DVD's from these tapes and will pass on buying syndication prints. Shame on whomever was responsible for that blunder!

    Cosby Show

    Well, I won't buy them. I have every episode on tape directly off NBC from the original Thursday night airings. It's such a shame distributors do this. This isn't the first series to get this treatment.

    Cosby Show

    Does anyone know if there's truth to the fact that when season one of Cosby Show is released next month, they will be the syndicated (edited) prints and NOT the NBC full-length originals? I hope it's not true, but I read a couple of preview comments on Amazon.com

    Any news on The Honeymooners Lost episodes?

    Jeff, I couldn't agree more. I've been actively lobbying everyone and everyplace I can for ages now to get "American Scene Magazine" released in the original 1-hour format, as opposed to the chopped up 22 minute versions syndicated by 20th Century Fox in 1979. Those shows were put together from...

    Car 54 Where Are You?

    Picked this box up this past week, and it's awesome. I have watched the first 3 discs and am quite impressed. I cannot, however, find a way to "play all" and NOT have to return to the main menu to proceed to the next episode. If anyone else has discovered a way, please advise. I have a...

    Here's some detailed info on this: ATHENS, Ga. - It's news that would make Jackie Gleason (news) shout out his trademark "And away we go!" A new "lost" episode of the classic 1950s TV comedy "The Honeymooners" has been uncovered in the Peabody Awards archive at the University of Georgia...
