Comparison SD-HD for S01E02, The Golden Triangle: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/123629

Here's an SD-HD comparison I just did for the pilot episode: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/123605/ The SD version is a recent HDTV upscale of the old German tv master (which is a little bit better than the even blurrier US masters they used for the DVDs). I'm very happy with the...

Yes, it was shot on 35 mm, but mastered on tape. Luckily, MacGyver never used much visual FX, so it's much less work to remaster than it's for Charmed and other FX-heavy shows. In the trailer, you can see that the blue lasers from the pilot seem to have been recreated and (which is the only...

They are. But we'll have to wait and see if it's a good thing. ;) Often, the smaller studios (like Koch here in Germany) put much more effort in a great presentation with additional extras and bonus features, nice packaging etc. So fingers crossed that it won't be just a barebones release like...

Yes, it's possible that CBS shows are sublicensed by other labels. However, I just got confirmation today that there *will* indeed be a world-wide Blu-ray release coming from CBS/Paramount themselves! No word on other details yet (I really hope they'll dig up some deleted scenes and bloopers...

Maybe more on an international scale? Here in Europe, Mac has always been immensely popular and especially here in Germany pretty much on constant reruns ever since the original airing. And even when it gets off the air after the third or fourth complete series run, it usually doesn't take more...

I guess it's the demands of tv stations. The old master is basically unwatchable on flatscreens lager than 30 inches. And with Ultra HD etc. coming up, at some point, broadcasters won't buy SD versions anymore (especially very poor SD versions). It's also possible that streaming partners like...

Here's a first lo-res side-by-side look at the remastered version: The full press release is available at https://www.home.cbssi.com/news-press-details/the-original-macgyver-hd-remastered/ All seven seasons will be finished by the end of the year and there's no word yet on where/when they'll...

If the show was mastered on tape (like many shows in the 80s and 90s were), they'll use this master tape because it would be too expensive to search for the original Panavision films and have them recut and everything to match the "old" versions of the episodes. As the pilot was filmed like a...

Too bad. Would have loved to see it in widescreen as it was produced in it. But nevertheless great to finally get the set. :)

Some time ago there was a thread here speculating about the MacGyver DVD Season 1 using syndicated or cut versions. Unfortunately, I can't find this thread anymore. But well, it seeems the episodes are partially cut: http://www.macgyveronline.org/forums...opic=1007&st=0

I think (and hope) it more likely means we'll get the original widescreen version.

Does anyone know an address for the rights owner "Alien Productions" or for Paul Fusco? I know of a German indie label that is interested in ALF but doesn't have the contact information. :frowning:

Anyone knows if the A&E deal did also include "Count Duckula"? Would be interesting as it could make a German release more possible. :)

Wonder if "Holding out for a Hero" is such an expensive song. ;) Has been used soooo often (for example the "Short Circuit" Johnny 5 movies). I also remember "Superman" by REM in the episode where Lois is brought to a different dimension (where she is already dead) and has to make Superman...

His name is revealed not until the 7th (and very last) season...

Too bad that most people are obviously only looking on the price and not on the quality. Otherwise Paramount would never be successful with its awful "Paramount Television" release series. You can see that they don't put any little bit of effort in it. MacGyver is my most favourite TV show...

Eh... do you mean Paramount or are you talking about some other show besides MacGyver? ;)

On the one hand - sure. But on the other hand... would have loved it a lot more, if there were only two seasons a year, but those nicely done. Even "21, Jump Street" gets an audio commentary and at least some extras. :rolleyes I'm very disappointed that my most favourite tv show ever is...

The first review is online at DVDTalk.com (can't post the link, though, as I haven't 15 postings - it's dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=14056) Unfortunately, it confirms that the box has absolutely no extras and - in addition - a very, very poor video quality. :frowning: Very sad! I would...

I'm hoping for more Disney animated shows if "Gargoyles" is a success. Would love to see: DuckTales Gummi Bears Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers Darkwing Duck Also, "Kim Possible" season sets would be cool.

Well, I can't understand what is so difficult about getting some old abc tv commercials or some deleted footage. Is Paramount just too lazy or are there any real problems?

Thanks a lot! Man, I LOVE this artwork! :) I wonder why they didn't use the original font of the MacGyver logo, though...

Still hope to see some extras on the release, though. Well, as it assumingly hasn't been announced in Paramount's press release, the box probably won't have any bonus material, but maybe Paramount surprises us for the first time ever. Jano

Yeah, personally, I like KF:TLC even more than the original series. It's just a great show though its ending is a bit sad. Jano

It's probably upsetting because they then still have the first season in its wrong aspect ratio...

The release of MacGyver is definitely the decade's best news for every Mac-Fan. :) I've been waiting for this since I know DVDs. ;) What do you think, can we expect a nice bunch of extras for this release or will it probably be (which I sure hope won't be the case) in the Paramount typical...
