    Tax Question-Selling Your Home

    Dennis, I believe that you can avoid paying capital gains on the entire amount of your house's selling price provided that you reinvest the money in your new primary residence. Are there any $650,000 houses in Idaho?

    Timeslip

    I bought this set new for $22 from Hamiltonbooks.com and it was worth that much, but I would have been disappointed if I had paid anywhere near full retail for it. The show ran for one full season (1970) in serial format, like Doctor Who, so there are four stories altogether for a total of 26...

    Dick Van Dyke Show Collection - All 5 seasons together - May 24th!

    My own copy of this is the same as described here, printed pictures on the box ends and the lenticular picture on the front of the box is the courtroom scene.

    MST3K Volume 7 unveiled.....

    If the transcript of what was missing from Dane Marvin's post #26 is correct then my DVD has the narration in question and I'm assuming must be the revised version. Markings that I can make out on the reverse of the disc hub include 3 970404V2.4A VC02, IFPI L908, and M131. These markings can be...

    MST3K Volume 7 unveiled.....

    Since I haven't seen the original version, I can't make any direct comparisons but my copy has item # R2 970404 on the spine and 1566059062 for an ISBN.

    MST3K Volume 7 unveiled.....

    The corrected version of The Killer Shrews is now being packed in new copies of set #7. The set that I received from DDD (backordered during the 20% off sale) has the uncut version of the film.

    I think I will buy the colorized Bewitched.

    A few other shows that switched from B+W to color during their runs are Gunsmoke, My Three Sons, and The Wild, Wild, West. There are probably others as well.

    The REAL July Criterions!

    The Frasier Five-season pack was listed for sale at $85 and change on Amazon back in January ($76 with Share the love) and I ordered it. I received an email canceling the order "in keeping with our policy of not honoring price mistakes". This was not a misplaced decimal point (it wasn't supposed...

    More good news about Fraggle Rock Season 1 box set...

    This is great news. I was holding off on the single disc releases in anticipation of a season set. I only saw this very infrequently during its first run because we didn't have HBO. I guess I should consider myself lucky that my parents even got cable.

    Frustrated with rim cracks: my discs are dying.

    The flipper disc in my Dracula Legacy Collection had a crack at the inner rim when I got it so I sent it back. The replacement was fine. My collection consists of about 400 items (approx 500 discs w/ special editions and TV sets) and this is the only one I've had a problem with. I do believe...

    Keep Commercials off DVD! Sign linked Petition in Post #76

    I believe that the situation with Rocky and Bullwinkle was that some of what was being released had fallen into the public domain so a "watermark" was added to try to deter pirates. IIRC it doesn't stay on screen the entire time. I own a copy of a PD film (Beat the Devil) that has a bug on...

    MGM's The Quiet American, Beachhead, Ambush Bay etc.

    I've never actually seen any of these films before, but I am pretty interested in Beach Red. I think that there were a couple of mentions of it in the commentary to Leave Her To Heaven.

    MGM's Fireball 500/ Thunder Alley & Panic In Year Zero/ The Last Man On Earth

    My opening price is about the same as MSRP, if it sells for this price I won't even break even. I didn't say anything about this being "rare". I am not a speculator, I just happen to have an extra copy of this. Nice widescreen transfers here too and you won't need a 100 pound piece of hardware...

    MGM's Fireball 500/ Thunder Alley & Panic In Year Zero/ The Last Man On Earth

    I've got a new, sealed copy of Panic/Last Man listed for sale on ebay right now with an opening bid of $14.99 US. in case anyone is interested. My id is foggybottom3 and I have a feedback score of over 350.

    Humphrey Bogart : Beat The Devil DVD...which one?!??? Best PQ is goal...

    I have the Delta version and it looks pretty good to me. The only quibble is that a watermark has been added in one corner for a short period of time. This makes me think that it might be one of the better transfers available since they are trying to protect it. In order to answer any questions...

    MGM's Fireball 500/ Thunder Alley & Panic In Year Zero/ The Last Man On Earth

    Thanks for the post RE: Amazon.ca, Jeff. I placed my order yesterday and it says on the site that it is being prepared for shipping. It looks like there is finally a recalled DVD that I am not missing out on.

    Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries coming 3/22

    I saw this set on the shelf at BB yesterday and read the back. There is a tiny notice that says "Music may be different than original broadcast" meaning of course that some of the music has been changed. What music rights could there have been a problem with? It says on the front of the box that...

    Shows in my collection which I am doubtful will be entirely released.

    There has been a full-season release of Doctor Who, the Key to Time set (16th season) and IMO opinion it was ill-advised. IIRC the BBC was pressured into releasing these episodes unrestored by Warners when they were voted as most wanted in an online poll. The first six seasons of Doctor Who (1st...

    The Many Loves of DOBIE GILLIS -- any chance for this one?

    According to the IMDB, 20th Century Fox Television and Martin Manulis Productions were the producers for this show. I don't know who the current rights holders are. I am too young to have seen this first run but I really liked the few episodes that I saw when Nick at Nite ran this briefly many...

    Fox Technicolor Movies

    I noticed the registered symbol on the opening of Leave Her To Heaven as well. It doesn't look the same as the rest of the opening to me, the picture wobbles a little bit but the symbol stays in the same spot onscreen, and I think that the symbol was added for whatever reason. As to the...

    The Archive of Incomplete TV DVDs - Buyers Beware! (Updated 3/27/05)

    On the Munsters, I'm assuming that the replaced music was because of rights issues. Do you have any information on what scenes have the music replaced and what the original songs were?

    20th Century Fox's 'Film Noir Classics' DVD Series

    In reference to extended version and deleted scene in Laura. POTENTIAL SPOILER From what I've read the original screenplay and the film as originally edited ended with the revelation that all of the scenes that the character Laura actually appeared in were a dream or a fantasy. This could...

    Lois and Clark possibly in 2005!

    My Columbia House VHS copy of the Lois and Clark pilot has the extended opening. I'm not going to watch it all the way through to see if those other scenes are present but it has a listed running time of "Approx 100 Mins." if that helps.

    British War and Ealing Comedy Collections

    Thanks for the great response and advice from everybody. I will most likely get both of these sets. In regard to the SRP, the cheapest I have been able to find them for pre-order in at DeepDiscountDVD.com where they are $55 apiece with free shipping.

    British War and Ealing Comedy Collections

    I would have posted this in one of the Anchor Bay 2005 releases threads but they both seem to be focused on the teen and exploitation films that are coming to DVD this year. I was wondering if someone who knows more about British cinema than me could recommend these sets as a blind buy. I have...

    Are music rights different from TV shows & movies.

    My copy of Sixteen Candles (from High School Reunion collection) states "Remastered with the original motion picture music! Featuring David Bowie, Billy Idol, Spandau Ballet, Prince and more!" in a blurb on the back cover, so I'd assume that all of the songs have been restored. It is probably a...

    HTF REVIEW: Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Essentials

    I received the Essentials DVD with the bonus Shorts Vol. 3 disc in the mail today. Each of the featured films is on a seperate disc. There is a box insert with chapter indexes for the films on opposite sides. The hubs that hold the discs in the box are a bit tricky and it took some care to...
