I just thought I'd check to see what we get in these 90 minute episodes and there was only a little over 56 minutes of actual programming. I really thought these first two 'extended' episodes could have been trimmed down to one really good single episode. However I'm sure FX is selling a ton of...

I had all of the standard release collections and I gave them to a friend who is a real big Bond fan. I'm looking forward to the new blu-ray set. While I enjoy them all for the most part with a few exceptions, my favorites are On Her Majesty's Secret Service, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger...

I will actually double dip on AITF. Aside from the problems reported on S7 (which I didn't think were all that bad IMO), there are two cuts that I know of in episodes. In the Season 3 (I think) episode "Archie Sees a Mugging" there is a mafia reference that was cut. When Columbia House released...

I'll be picking mine up later

There is a retrospective episode in season 9 which was the 200th episode of the series. It aired on 3-4-79. The description of the show (Lear introduces clips from past episodes and there are brief comments from the 100 couples (representing 48 states) who have been selected to attend the...

I don't recall saying they could do no wrong (I can only speak for myself) so please stop fathoming where my post is concerned. . In fact, when it was brought up, Shout! did acknowledge there was an encoding issue...about two months ago. The whining about it is old already when the company has...

It's just a tired discussion already. It's been beaten to death. Time to move on...

While season 7 was a little jittery in it's movements at times I don't think it had a kinescope or fake film look to me. I know different people had different experiences viewing these depending on how they were viewing them (equpiment/tv size etc). In my experience, the image was still very...

are there a few imperfections? Of course but nothing that even rates a mention in my opinion. These things look great and for someone who has collected for years and has recorded, re-recorded, purchased and repurchased (several times over in various formats and configurations) these are the...

Unwatchable is a little harsh IMO. While I do notice it, I get over it after a while and do notice that some of the episodes aren't as bad as the others. I'm watching these on a 65 inch televison. Too bad if one feels such a thing to an extent that it keeps them from buying the set, you're...

Well season 8 has already been announced so I don't think that's an issue. It is strange though. I'm in both camps; I think the series looks great and it is a little jerky. Movements are as fluid at times. Kind of like those Chaplin MK2 / Warner releases with bad PAL to NTSC transferes or to...

What was the purpose of them tacking those things on there and just on those two shorts?

Found mine at Wal-Mart this morning. They hadn't even put it on the shelf yet so it was right out of the box for stocking. I know there was talk along the line during these chronological sets of doing the solo shorts. I have no idea what the plans are for those now. Maybe there will be...

That is why I kind of link it to the Bond series. There are some Bond movies where you think the situations could really happen and others where you know nothing like that ever could. While 24 is always set in a real-world type of environment, you do have to suspend reality in some...

24 has been so so for me from the standpoint of this could really happen at least for the last couple of years but it has always been an entertaining hour of television. There are only so many things you can do with that formula. After a while it is like a Bond movie and a good friend, you...

I have a few thoughts and comments about what you've posted: Leave it to Beaver - I thought I read somewhere that they were looking at a complete series set of this one sometime down the road. Is that a fact or was it just rumor? Streets of San Francisco - I have the first two seasons of this...

I just read this post and while we're past it, I too have to rise to David's defense. His post simply stated that we already posted this news and he did provide a link. I check tvshowsondvd.com daily for that ever elusive annoncement for season 7 of AITF (Hey David! Now that I've supported...

I agree on TSTC, that scene with the hammer has always looked like that. There isn't anything missing there. I've seen some other reviews on this set too regarding the condition of Idiots Deluxe. A few things I've noticed. I dont' know if there is a name for this process however, I have...

I have the series and the pilot W*A*L*T*E*R. There are a handful of pretty good episodes however the majority are quite forgettable. The first season is better than the second as it has more the spirit of the MASH series. One episode in particular which is quite cool deals with everyone keeping...

Good review!

I saw this one at Best Buy today. It was a Best Buy 'exclusive' as it included a bonus disc which had the first two episodes of the original series 'Mr Big' and 'Diplomats Daughter'. These IMO are two of the best episodes. The first being the pilot episode, the second featuring one of the most...

It is so funny. I live in Chicago and it looks like those construction sites downtown where they have the scaffolding errected and all the plywood walls set up. It's like he jumps out of that and what if some poor lady just happened to be walking by...WHACK! The kids are funny too, they seem to...

I bought the set and it looks great. The whole split season thing is a bit annoying. Does anyone know why they do that (aside from the pat answer that they can make more $$). There has to be a reason. Is CBS the only company to do this. The only thing I'm bummed about is that Clarence...

Don't you think the hit will come back to bite Bobby though? Remember the discussion they had earlier in the episode about DNA etc when they were fishin' on the boat? Well, he wasn't wearing gloves and just dropped the gun plus the kid ripped a hunk of his shirt off of him. Maybe that sets...

I think this first episode flew by because we came out of a Sopranos episode that was very deliberatly paced. Entourage always flys by for me and it is such an enjoyable show. Kind of a Sex and the City for dudes although I'm sure it has a female following too. (I for one really liked Sex and...

I forgot about Story of Mankind and Keaton's Educational output from the 1930s. Abbott and Costello isn't technically complete. It Ain't Hay, Rio Rita, and Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd are still missing.

What I think would be great to see is 'season' sets with wraparounds hosted by someone like Leonard Maltin, similar to what he did for the Our Gang videos put out by Cabin Fever in the 90s. It would be nice to have someone who actually KNOWS something about the Stooges, unlike the braintrust who...

This is my first post to this forum and I wanted to piggyback off of another post I just saw regarding the whole Judy Garland catalogue being released once a handful of movies are announced. How many peoples entire careers are out on DVD or are close to being out (say within a half dozen...
