I highly recommend the Reel Vault complete season 4 DVD set. It is a stellar release - the same high quality uncut episodes. A number of the shows include the original openings and commercials. I’ve been hoping they will continue releasing more seasons.

Any plans for the Warner-owned Abbott and Costello films? These are the last A&C holdouts for blu-ray. Also, how about some more love for Lucy? - more RKO and of course "The Long, Long Trailer". A complete restoration of TV's Adventures of Superman would be amazing. Oh, and Gilligan needs to...

Your CRT is displaying the entire widescreen picture (including the left/right bars) on your screen. In order to do that, you not only see the embedded left/right bars, but you also get bars along the top and bottom. Not in all cases, but most DVD or Blu ray players have a "Wide" mode setting...

I can record on my DVD recorder with my Firestick connected with an HDMI to RCA converter. However, this results in a 16X9 image crammed into a 4x3 box. This is how it burns to the disc. To play back properly, you have to adjust the settings on the TV to stretch the picture back out to...

Check out the Filmrise app for the correct season 5 and 10 in 4x3, and more.....

This is actually a pretty good release. As is typical of TimeLIfe, there are some edits, but many of the shows are uncut. The season 1 episodes and the pilot include the NBC "In living Color" opening tag. 1-1 9/17/20 - 51:43 1-6 10/22/70 - 47:12 1-10 11/26/70 - 50:20 1-17 1/21/71 - 51:03 2-1...

I can't stand to watch The Carol Burnett Show on ME-TV the way they broadcast. Sometimes during the Q+A, Carol's head is halfway off the top of the screen! Give me back the 4:3 ratio please.

I wouldn't look to Kino for any animated series. Quote form the Kino Insider from January 2020 (on another forum) - "We have no interest in doing anymore animation. Unless Warner Brothers or Disney opens their vaults to us." From September 2020- "As I had said before, we're done with...

I believe the reunion movies were all done at Universal and are not controlled by Warner Brothers, making them unlikely to appear on any series release.

CBS released The Californians on blu ray 3 years ago and it is still available.

Just an FYI - In the early planning of bringing the Lucy hours to blu ray, the "Lucy team" did an extensive search of the vaults and did find this footage on 35mm. Unfortunately, CBS decided they wanted to start with "I Love Lucy" season 1 and we know how that turned out. The full show did...

There is a book published by Bear Manor Media called "The Carol Burnett Show Companion" by Wesley Hyatt. It has detailed info on a majority of the shows. Using that and recognizing which season and which guest star helps complete the picture. Also, Folk keeps going back and re-structuring...

I was disappointed that they did not include the episode recaps for the season 3 two-parters. It is jarring to me that those "part 2" episodes start with the opening credits rather than the cold opening that was standard for season 3. The cold opening in those cases was the recap, and results...

One thing to keep in mind is that for quite awhile CBS Home Entertainment had a policy of clearing music for their DVD releases in perpetuity. That way they would never have to worry about it again. While a great idea, it could get very expensive (CBS paid a small fortune for season 1 of Happy...

That listing has been there for 3 years. It was posted when the individual seasons were posted. I ordered it in 2017. After over a year of waiting, I finally cancelled my order in December 2018 and ordered the individual seasons.

Folk TV recently jumped from early season 5 episodes to airing episodes from seasons 10 and 11. They are using the full hour block for these - clocking in at 40-some-odd minutes minus commercials. In episodes that had lots of music (therefore not leaving enough sketches to fill out the time)...

So then they stole the transfers from the CBS DVDs and upscaled them or they stole them from Hulu or another streaming app.

It will be Region 4 locked, but NTSC. That is how all the Shock Entertainment CBS titles are. They have a Beverly Hillbillies Season 1 thru 5 collection, a Love boat Season 1 thru 4 collection, the Lucy series, etc. All are the same. I don't think My Three Sons would be any different.

The Lucy releases they licensed from CBS are NTSC, region 4, at least according to the Shock website.

I've been watching and recording on FOLK TV. It airs in hour-long blocks, but is really 2 half-hours. These configurations are getting more complicated than Time-Life DVDs. Unlike ME-TV (which skips a bunch of episodes all together), the FOLK-TV airings have a half hour dedicated to every...

Nope. The insider said the show they are releasing had a previous US DVD release.

The Kino Insider mentioned earlier this week on another forum that the Universal TV series they are releasing on blu has already had a DVD release. That quashes a good number of the guesses/hopes on this thread - at least for now.

I ordered volume 1 and volume 2 when they first came out. My volume 1 had disc 1's content on disc 2 and disc 2's content on disc 1. Even though I had all the episodes, it bugged me that the disc content didn't match the labels. I ordered a replacement set for volume 1 and the discs were all...

I believe the episodes will be more complete than the ME-TV airings but less complete than the original broadcasts. CBS went back to the original negatives when they did the transfers. Unfortunately the negatives were cut.

'Act of Violence' was released by CBS (MOD) back in 2015

It is the DVD version that has the statement: "Widescreen version presented in a "matted" widescreen format preserving the aspect ratio of its original television exhibition". This statement is not on the blu-ray box but likely (hopefully) still applies.

The verbiage on the rear cover art posted at WBSHOP says "This 2-disc Blu-ray set features 23 of the best and spookiest capers".

ME-TV (at least on both stations in Los Angeles) blows up the picture to make it more widescreen friendly. For me it makes it almost unwatchable.
