TV.com shows the dentist sketch as part of Episode #50, guest starring Ethel Merman & Tim Conway, first airing 03/03/69. FWIW, that episode(or any episode before '73 for that matter) isn't on any of the 31 volumes of The Carol Burnett Show released on DVD by Columbia House.

That's the way that bit has always played out. Matthew never actually asks a question, and the humor stems from Dave having anticipated that a ridiculously left-field topic would come from Matthew - to the extent that he already has a visual aid to answer it. I can say that scene is definitely...

James Horner's score for The Journey Of Natty Gann has exists on CD as a composer promo(or it could certainly be a boot disguised as a composer promo). I imagine copies of it fetch a high price among Horner collectors. Other than it being 17 tracks and about 38 min., I don't know much else about...

I've just noticed this today and have posted my findings elsewhere, but here's the breakdown: The end of "H.O.B.O-OPs" as broadcast(per DVR recording of original and recent marathon broadcast)- Mother and son walk by deranged homeless vet. Son: "Mommy, who is that man talking to? Mother...

Assuming you've enabled the Closed Captioning on your monitor - you might have to make sure your player is outputting interlaced. It isn't often noted that CC is effectively disabled by progressive scan(which is why I think player-generated SDH should be included whenever possible, but that's...

Yes, I noticed that very effect and found it a bit hard to get used to. I have the 3-disc DTS version and there are certain scenes - all focusing on the General Meng character - where the film appears squeezed vertically. It's also mentioned in the DVDBeaver review of the two-disc set. It must...

I'm also hoping we'll get to see the version of "Injury" that was broadcast in syndication with all of Bill and Dave's exchange regarding the "penis" fines ("Total?" "Per penis.") and Bill's final word on the subject.* What would be wonderful is if the April Fools' Day '98 "Pop-Up Video" version...

That's certainly possible, but it looks to me judging from the spacing of the text that "biological mother" fits in the balloon and "good mother" looks awkward in the same space. I found a mention of the change on this blog, which seems to suggest it would have to be Watterson's decision to...

One of the strips reprinted in The Complete Calvin and Hobbes has been altered. In the last two panels of the 11-25-88 strip, the phrase "biological mother" has been changed to "a good mother" and the strip's punchline is now different. The strip now ends with "Yeah, right. Let's see your...

Does this indicate DVD-ROM content? Would this be a Criterion first?

. Ultimately the movie tries to be more than mindless action, with the two leads spouting impossibly concise speeches about the responsibilities of government. For a few moments when the punches stop and the posturing begins, it feels like an episode of Dragnet.:) But it's still a crackerjack...

I liked it.:) I'm not the biggest Thurston Moore fan in the world, and I don't like Dredd Foole(the vocalist)'s stuff, but that had some good moments. If you're not big on improv-noise, though, it could certainly seem too directionless. YMMV.

The Albert Ayler release is called Albert Ayler Live in Greenwich Village: The Complete Recordings. Amazon has it credited to "Cal Jr. Cobbs, Albert Ayler, Sunny Murray" for some reason; the ASIN # is B00000DD1S and it's $18.99. Now as for the quality of Japanese mini-LP packaging, it seems...

Marco- Those paper strips (generally called "obi" - which translates as "belt" from when, as Todd described, US LPs released in Japan were encircled with a band of paper that contained info in Japanese so that the original album art remained intact) are only affixed to jewel cases on occasion...

I don't have a contribution of my own, but reading this thread reminds me of Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About: "Margret doesn't like to watch films on the TV. No, hold on - let me make sure you've got the inflection here: Margret doesn't like to watch films on the TV. She says she...

I think Bosom Buddies holds up remarkably well after 25 years, especially in the rapport between Hanks and Scolari. I'd love to see both seasons released on DVD - complete and without syndication cuts. Commentaries would be my dream extra. Maybe then the show can get the following that it always...

The first three episodes of The Doodlebops ("Doodlebop Photo Op", "Wobbly Whoopsy", and "O Sole Moe") as well as some unnamed bonus features are due on DVD this August - around the same time as their CD release I guess. I know the Doodlebops signed a multi-CD and DVD deal with Universal Music...

Along the lines of the EW article: Guinivere Turner, co-screenwriter of (and actress in) American Psycho, in an interview with Ron Hogan published in Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture said this: "When we wrote the script, we wanted it to be absolutely clear that he is actually killing...

FWIW, I didn't have any problem playing Layer Cake on my Malata 393A. I'm thinking the R1 release might not include the insert with the Empire article by Matthew Vaughn and the interview with Daniel Craig or the Audio Description Track, which is one of the most unintentionally funny extras I've...

Remember the cartoons that "Roy" would show Goriddle Gorilla on a little pocket TV as a regular feature on The Great Space Coaster? Sort of a happy babbling character made up of one continuous line? Apparently his name was "La Linea" - which I'm going to go out on a limb and guess means...

Elmo as a Muppet dates back to 1979. Elmo as voiced and performed by Kevin Clash has been around since 1984 (so Elmo is at least old enough to drink.:)). Before Jim Henson gave Clash the job of coming up with a personality for the character, Elmo had been performed first by Brian Meehl(who also...

In the "Family Page" feature in the June 5-11 issue of TV Guide there is a sidebar about an Electric Company relaunch due in 2007 and the "electrifying" news that DVD sets of the 1971-77 show "will be released later this year." No other details (other than the startling fact that EC's Letterman...

Re: "Injury" - It is my recollection that in the exchange between Dave and Bill, the DVD refelects the original broadcast. NBC didn't air Dave's line "per penis" or Bill saying "penis" after Dave has walked away. These lines were restored when the episode was broadcast in syndication. This is...

A cheap region-free player that does PAL to NTSC conversion well (like the Malata DVP-393A) can regularly be found on eBay for a BIN price of

I'll bet you cash on the barrelhead that music clearances will keep this series from ever having an intact R1 release. So many of the episodes integrate different songs into the stories - from Fatboy Slim to Mercury Rev to Belle & Sebastian (even a few cues from one of the SCHULMADCHEN REPORT...

OK, so this list includes TV DVDs that belong to my wife, as well as a few that belong to the kids(should be pretty easy to tell which is whose :)) 3rd Rock from the Sun - The Complete Season 3+6 R2 The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Vols. 1-5 Æon Flux Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Volume 1-3...
