Thank you very much for the prompt response and helpful information

i have a question on passing through multichannel audio signals from my Sony blu-ray/SACD player to my TCL 65R615 tv and then to my Samsung J4500 5.1 channel home theater in a box. Details -- my Sony blu-ray BDP-BX38 (sold at Costco; I think identical to BDPS380) -- although lacking the SACD...

While I can't answer your question, it did remind me of John Byner's great comment about Crawford on Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast a few months ago: "On Highway Patrol, do you know why Broderick Crawford was always leaning against the open car door when he was standing and using...

Depends who you ask. I say healthy, enjoyable hobby. My wife says OCD

A few years ago the Encore Suspense channel ran the AHH episodes (all, I think) uncut and commercial free. I was able to record them to DVD. Not perfect quality but not bad. Maybe the channel will do that again.

The way I see it, as the upcoming set will contain about 1/4 of the show's episodes, positive sales might lead to the release three similar sets, one after the other, which will thus constitute the complete series run, albeit not in season sets.

I don't have DirecTV and so don't have the Chiller yet, but I have a question on Night Gallery for those who do have the channel. According to the schedule on its website, Chiller is at least broadcasting Night Gallery in the same blocks as originally broadcast, e.g., where the show was...

It's interesting you mention Bob's book. It came out September 19, 2006, the same day as the Season 4 DVD. Sounds like a great opportunity for cross-marketing, huh? Wrong. There was a large ad in USA Today for the book on September 18 or 19, but it contained no mention at all--even a tiny...

Seasons 1 through 4 of the Bob Newhart Show were released every 6 months, starting in April 2005. I e-mailed Gord last week asking why there has not yet been an announcement for Season 5, which would be out in this April (2007) under the past release pattern. He told me the news is not good...

I was thinking that a funny little extra would have been to include the clip from Married with Children where Al, reluctant (as always) to go to the bedroom with his wife, asked if he could at least have the television on so he could watch Get Smart while they were doing it.

Interesting. I wonder precisely how many minutes (or seconds) Nick at Nite cut out from the mid-90s "Maximum Smart" run of episodes, which I taped.

When you lucky people who have this set already (my wife has not yet authorized the expenditure from the family budget) have time, and if you also have the 1990s TV Land and Nick at Nite episodes on video, please post which scenes on DVD did not air on the 1990s tv run. Initially I thought those...

This was a superbly written, very entertaining show. It's creator, Fred Goss, who played the lead, has been keeping people apprised of DVD news at his myspace site. Last I checked, it didn't look good -Fred thought all was a go for a DVD by the end of the year, and then it turned out there were...

Two of my DVD players can play multi-region. Do the UK episodes have all music intact. I heard mixed reports on whether the UK season sets, when released individually, had all the music.

Has anybody bought this yet? Very good review at http://www.sitcomsonline.com/thebobn...dvdreview.html I hope to get it within a couple of days. My local BB didn't have it, so I might use amazon or DDD

To my wife, it's still "largely decadent" (as being a waste of money), but I'm working on changing that.

Interesting, though - no notation on the TVSODVD blurb about episode commentaries - to me that would be the one extra which would cause all who bought the original season sets to have buy the new master set. Without commentaries, the master set might not be a must buy

I wonder if Germans find the Siegfried character amusing?

I actually do like one infomercial - the half-hour one for Time Life's "The Folk Years" CD set. Great music and video clips. I actually watched the whole thing once. Of course, there would be massive music rights issues for a DVD...

For September 19, 2006 - http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=5819 The $29.99 list, and resulting $20-22 sale price upon release, remains.

While Get Smart is worth $40-50, even that is high, when you consider that Seasons 2 and 3 of the Bob Newhart show, which included 24 complete episodes, about 5 commentaries, and a minor featurette, listed at $29.99 each (and were thus available for about $21 on sale upon release).

I just compared DVD Season 3 Episode One, Big Brother is Watching, with my TV Land VHS version taped in 2003. The DVD version is 25:41; the TV Land version runs 22:31. This appears to have been done with a combination of edits and time compression. First, the reason you can't remember any...

I'm curious too as to what TVLand edited out. I happen to have the first 8 episodes of the third season of the BNS taped from TVLand 3-4 years ago, so I will compare them with the DVD versions as soon as I receive Season 3 from amazon.

Good news on the extras, although even without them, full episodes of this classic, at a great price, would still be a nice value. I have this pre-ordered from amazon and now have a wait of (hopefully) less than 2 weeks. Some of the Season Two commentaries, though, strangely repeated stories...

Odd question here - Howard Stern has said his dad's work as a recording engineer included recording episodes of Tennessee Tuxedo. The DVD includes outtakes of the theme song, with a recording engineer heard during the takes giving a "30 seconds" cue. Based on hearing Howard's father on his show...

While I'm grateful to have 15 episodes of this on Sony Wonder's new release, Classic Media (www.classicmedia.tv) really messed up. There are no opening credits, no closing credits, and no theme song. This show had a terrific theme song - where else could you hear Don Adams sing? Gord and David...

A 15-episode best of Tennessee Tuxedo was issued on one DVD March 7. I ordered from DeepDDVD but have not received it yet.

It hasn't. Cheryl Hines was reported as saying in an interview that Season 5 might have been the final year, but I believe nothing more formal or definitive has emerged. If Larry said anything else, I'm sure someone will post it.

Anybody else want to see "The California Kid," 1974 ABC movie with Martin Sheen? I loved this film.
