    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    I only have the first season, and if the correct music is in this complete set, count me in for another purchase.... Here's hoping!

    Please FINISH Peyton Place on DVD! *Official Thread*

    Nothing to forgive- All is well- Let's get Peyton Place released completely- MPI is the perfect choice with its handling of Dark Shadows- If you aren't familiar w/ the continuing story of Peyton Place, go to Amazon and order Volume 1- It is a captivating, well written and acted program- We...

    Please FINISH Peyton Place on DVD! *Official Thread*

    Mark- I read HTF every day, but only post occasionally when it seems appropriate... I too respect you, and hope you are right that one day we will see more PP... I hope MPI or another company will pick up where Shout left off- The show is brilliant- Captivating actors, engaging storylines, and...

    DVD and the soaps...

    I understand what you mean- Complete stories, especially ones with connections for the fans, like GL's Phillip, Rick, Mindy, and Beth 4 Musketeers story, or the San Cristobel storyline would certainly be enjoyable to revisit. I believe fans are missing their soaps- Perhaps a revisit on DVD...

    DVD and the soaps...

    On a lark, I went to YouTube last night and searched for soap opera clips... I was amazed at the amount of episodes that are there- Complete story arcs for many differnt shows. I was clicking and watching for several hours. It made me nostalgic for the serials that are disappearing from the...

    Please FINISH Peyton Place on DVD! *Official Thread*

    I also met Ed Nelson last fall at a similiar venue.... He was gracious, kind, and still the performer, wowing people with interesting stories from his career. He was so very kind- A great guy who somehow manged to work in Hollywood, but not let Hollywood make him something he wasn't.

    Please FINISH Peyton Place on DVD! *Official Thread*

    Mark- I rarely post anymore, primarily because it seems that the series is dead in the water... And I've stopped holding out hope for a resolution. Too few people remember PP from its heyday, and it is probably too much of a niche market. I hope I'm wrong, but just seems that way...

    CBS/Paramount Stalled Shows - An Analysis

    Thanks for reminding me that the S1 Hillbillies from Paramount is non-existent- Think I knew that at one point in time, but good to know when I think through purchasing.

    CBS/Paramount Stalled Shows - An Analysis

    Thanks- I repurchased the PJ sets due to it being a stronger fave than the Hillbillies- Guess I'll have to pick up the Season 2 from Paramount, and maybe even the S1 if I want to be a completist.

    CBS/Paramount Stalled Shows - An Analysis

    I never bought the Beverly Hillbillies sets from Paramount because I had purchased the earlier MPI collections from the Henning estate. If I wanted to pick up where those left off, do I want to purchase the Season 3 set, or does the MPI Vol 2 set stop before completing the Season 2 episodes? I...

    Shout! Factory's April Fool's Day Joke and Guiding Light

    Interesting discussion guys- Would be interested to see what a soap on cable would be like... It doesn't make a lot of sense to broadcast old soaps- The styles and look would really date them for people- Still think there is a niche in the DVD market- Not a complete series set, but some...

    Shout! Factory's April Fool's Day Joke and Guiding Light

    Did anybody else here the news? ABC cancelled All My Children and One Life to Live. Two more historic soaps that will soon be dead and gone... Is there really no market for DVD releases of these cherished soaps? No one is interested in revisiting a story line from the past? Somehow, I...

    Song of the South

    I have a copy of this movie on a laser disc from Japan, bought once upon a time when laser disc was the way to watch a movie. I pulled it out and showed it to my family. The room was generally interested, even when there was not animation on the screen. My three year old nephew? Captivated...

    Shout! Factory's April Fool's Day Joke and Guiding Light

    Intersting information- Interesting that Dark Shadows was videotaped as early as 1966, yet so many other soaps were not. So would it be correct to assume that episodes from the 1970s onward still exist?

    Shout! Factory's April Fool's Day Joke and Guiding Light

    David- I too adored the soap. It is a touchstone to my past, and I would love to have some kind of DVD set to revisit from time to time. Certainly did not mean to mock your loss, as it was my loss as well. What I found funny was the packaging ( a huge trailer) ands the price (45000...

    Shout! Factory's April Fool's Day Joke and Guiding Light

    Someone else will have to answer that one. I have considered getting the 60's Box set to get a feel for the series, but I already have so much to watch- It would be an interesting way, however to market soaps like Guiding Light. Story highlights and bacground info would make for fascinating...

    Most requested "stalled" show?

    An interesting choice Andrew... This was a fun spin on the Oz tales using the MGM character likenesses to offer some continued stories of the characters. And it also featured music from the movie for background purposes... Sort of the last hurrah of Saturday morning programming, IMHO!

    Continuing TV on DVD?

    American soaps... a dying breed for sure. There was talk this week of cancelling "All My Children". People are not watching like they used to... And yet "Coronation Street" in Britain is still going strong 50 years in prime time. This show's success is what prompted Monash to adapt...

    Our Gang Collection, 80 shorts, Oct. 28

    I thought I would revive this thread... I have still not bought this set because of the use of Blackhawk prints that were used. These films were cherished memories of childhood for me, and when I first heard about this set I pre-ordered it. After reading the reports, I cancelled it. I...

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (The Announcements/The Films)

    Thanks for the help folks- Obviously it is not all fllms available. I bought 5 that I have wanted, but not bad enough to pay 20.00 for- In addition, the free shipping is a bonus. Great sale for sure- Now, again, what is the status on Andy Hardy or old Doc Kildare? Will they see the...

    I received the notice for the 5 for 50 sale, and I just now took the time to peruse the selection. I have purchased now and again from the Archive, but have not been following the releases closely of late. There are really quite a few movies now offered, aren't there? When I clicked on the 5...

    Life with Lucy

    Seems like I read somewhere that the show is now owned by CBS or Paramount, as they acquired all the Spelling properties, including this one. Who releases Dynasty? Regardless, I would be surprised to see this one released- Time will tell!

    Mill Creek release of Ozzie and Harriett

    Very sad that David has passed away- With him goes the connection to a show that is very much a classic. It's the true end of an era. I know that Ozzie, Harriet, and Ricky were waiting at the front door for him. He's home.

    Strange Paradise... Anyone else interested?

    No one interested? With all the Dark Shadows fans out there, I thought for sure there wojuld be some interest... Similiar tales, and the same type of format.
