I was 14-15 when this originally aired so I was the perfect age for it, having come off summer '89 & the Keaton Batman movie. Felt like the same "universe" at the time. Taped every episode & have the DVD set. Fond memories of CBS that fall watching The Flash and E A.R.T.H. Force 😄

The original season 1 DVD was released by 20th. The rights reverted to CBS/Paramount starting with the season 2 DVD set. (Re-releases of the season 1 set came from CBS/Paramount also.) I can't say for sure, but maybe that 20th logo is still showing from that original season 1 DVD run. Just...

I had fun revisiting Matthew Star a few years back. It aired back to back with Knight Rider's premiere season that year on NBC. (Memories from when I was 7!) I wrote about it here: https://drunktv.net/2019/02/24/the-powers-of-matthew-star-1982-1983-tv-series-review/

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think BobO'Link is talking specifically about TV that aired before streaming & hone video were considered....and nowadays, modern & streaming productions have the music rights written into the contracts, unlike those old shows.

Hopefully someone can answer this as I know the labeling you're referring to and always wondered the same thing. My speculative thinking back when they were first produced was that Warner Archive was simply labeling some MOD collections this way because they were also available to download...

Purchased my Longstreet set direct from VEI a year or two ago. Standard-width clear case. Insert is blank on the inside. No episode titles/guide or information.

World of Giants was announced via their newsletter (it can be found on their website but you have to look for it). No pre-orders or release date set yet. Aldo wanted to say thanks again (it's been a few years) for these lists. I've referred to them often over the years.

Right! I just looked at that sequence again on the Blu-ray. Magnum peels out in the grass in the Ferrari and where it segues into the theme in the original airing, here it cuts to the airplane landing at the airport.

I just started watching the new Blu-ray set and the pilot is indeed broken up into two parts and has the more familiar Mike Post theme (with no cold open). I'm 11 minutes in and familiar enough with the pilot episode that I detected a missing scene. Dug out the old DVD to double-check and the...

For anyone interested, my copy of The Trials of Rosie O'Neill arrived & I did an unboxing video for it. Not a bad looking set, package-wise. Find the YouTube video here.

New North America Baywatch set announced by VEI. Appears to be the 9 seasons (minus the two Baywatch: Hawaii seasons and the Baywatch Nights spinoff) in both DVD & Blu-ray configurations (at least according to their FB post). Remastered in HD, these are likely the editions found on streaming...

It happened on April 1: It’s official: Warner Bros. Home Entertainment confirms that WB Shop has closed for good (it’s not an April Fool’s joke)

Per today's virtual Warner Archive panel at ComicCon: Space Ghost and Dino Boy to be restored & remastered. A Blu-ray release is forthcoming, according to George Feltenstein.

Hey, Lisa Hartman Black - hit the studio & record some generic pop songs we can plug into these episodes for DVD release! Thanks.

Both seasons of MURDER ONE, season 8 of NYPD BLUE, and a volume of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA that I didn't yet have. Generally, ryinh to fill the gaps in my 20th Century-Fox TV collection. No telling where they might go with Disney taking ownership.

Banacek - season 2. Finally nabbed an affordable copy.

I was born in '76, so I saw most 80s fare during their first runs, but most of H-B's (& others') 60s & 70s shows I first saw on USA Cartoon Express.

Regarding "Winning," I just viewed that episode on the VEI set & the first two things I noticed was that it: a) looked like a video transfer (unlike the previous episodes), and b) the credits looked chryon'd. Just passing along since it was mentioned. It still timed out properly (48 mins or so)...

I just received & started watching this series and thought I'd check in. So far, I've just watched the first episode (which, as has been explained, was the first proper episode and not the pilot, which aired as the series finale). This episode ("Jackal") runs just over 48 minutes. Picture...

Yes, bmasters9. I should have used the quote function (I'm bad with functions when using my smartphone to post). Hope you're able to eventually get your replacement!

The only time I had a problem with VEI, there was a missing season in my "In Search Of..." complete series set (there were two season 1 sets in the box & no season 2). I emailed them & they promptly sent a season 2 out to me. They even told me I could keep the duplicate. I appreciated it & was...

I, too, am excited about this one; never thought I'd ever see it again (on DVD, at least). I have vivid memories from when I was 7 years old that fall of '82, watching Powers of Matthew Star & Knight Rider back-to-back - both brand new shows that fall.

I do too, believe me. For some reason though, I can't ever get it to work when posting using my phone (on desktop I'm much better.) Happy 4th of July to all - may it be copyright-infringement free. :)

Thought I'd follow up on my earlier post. This is an example of the DVDs the studio sends us to play for our movies in the park program. You can see how locked down the rights are for public performance. And yes, it's a burned disc. (Hopefully I attached the photo properly.)

I think a loss of control in the digital age (pirating, etc.) has caused them to crack down harder on IP issues these days. I also DJ at some small town clubs & the music publishing companies have been much more aggressive with collecting fees from these establishments in the past 10-15 years...

Quick anecdotal story: For 10 years now, I've done work for my local city government each June, setting up & running projection & sound for their summer outdoor Movies in the Park program (blow-up screen, DVD player with projector). It's a small, rural area. We (the City) pay the studios...

Small correction - move Viper to the 1990s list (it's in the the '80s list). Keep up the great work!

I watched the first season so far and really enjoyed it. I shared some of my thoughts in a review here. I was sad that I missed it originally on The Family Channel. Would've fit in great with other shows I was watching there a little later. Good action and fast-paced story for 80s cable (the...

I run a regional sports website. We launched in 2008 and, in 2016, the system was so dated our webmaster said it needed upgrading. We wound up being offline for 3 weeks. So, these things do happen, & the maintenance takes longer than desired sometimes.

Received my copy the other day. Haven't had a chance to screen yet, but it came on two burned discs, for anyone who cares about that (ordered directly from the Archive).
