    Comic Collecting

    I hope DC reprint Sgt. Rock in either the Compendiums or their new DC's Finest (aka DC's Epic line) format. Oh, BTW, found Vault of Horror 5 last August. Slightly above cover. Finished up the EC Archives collection just in time to pack 'em away for a move.

    The Adventures of Superman

    Ooh, great info from both Jerry and Will. I had a nagging feeling I was slightly off about Lois's solo title and hadn't factored in Showcase. Thanks both.

    The Adventures of Superman

    That Lois Lane logo says to me post-1959, since that's when the comic started. That also kind of means no George Reeves. Did these live shows continue on after his death with a different Superman and the rest of the cast?

    Life with Lucy complete series

    Because original networks mean nothing. From what I can find, this show was a co-production of Aaron Spelling and Lucy. I believe that Paramount eventually wound up with this era's Aaron Spelling library, so CBS were the ones who were able to release it on DVD.

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Another MU order. The last one got me Psych for $77, O&H for $18 each. This one was Quantum Leap 2022 S1 on Blu, Mr. Mayor the complete series on Blu, and Hitman Hart Wrestling With Shadows on Blu, which is a documentary about Bret Hart's last days in the WWF and the Montreal Screwjob, that...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    With the Movies Unlimited November coupon going live early, and internet confirmation of contents finally coming in, I bought Psych: The Complete Series on Blu-ray. Also, completed Ozzie and Harriet on DVD with seasons 13 and 14. Both purchases kind of needed to be waited on until coupon time...

    LEAVE IT TO BEAVER: The Complete Series (Coming November 14th from Universal)

    The discs will be pressed, just MOD. Pretty much all of the sets Universal releases on Blu themselves are technically MOD and only available online, but they're all traditionally replicated discs. No BD-Rs to be seen. You can always tell when a set is MOD when it pops up out of nowhere one...

    LEAVE IT TO BEAVER: The Complete Series (Coming November 14th from Universal)

    I don't know if anything in your wheelhouse has been released on MOD in this fashion so far, but price drops definitely are not guaranteed with the stuff the companies release in this way. There are definitely good deals to be found, especially if you catch the right site with the right price...

    L.A. Law (1986-1994)

    That was my initial thought as well when I first saw the news. "A new classic Fox remaster from Disney? In HD? THIS IS WONDERFUL!" Then I read a little further and the joy turned to a string of profanities.

    L.A. Law (1986-1994)

    Coming to Hulu next month, in a newly done Disney HD remaster! http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2023/10/12/date-announcement-la-law-all-8-seasons-remastered-in-hd-on-hulu-november-3-245214/20231012hulu01/ ...in16x9.

    Pre-Order The Odd Couple: The Complete Series (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Unless a willing guinea pig tells us otherwise, you might as well wait for the bargains, because Cheers was released even further edited than the DVDs. Paramount somehow found a way to edit more music out and not use the streaming versions which had music restored. So Odd Couple will probably...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Yeah, I hit Gruv. Their base prices matched Amazon's, and a 20% off new customer coupon code got 'em down to the "Gotta buy!" level. Though it was Amazon's fairly reasonable prices on the two new sets anyway that got me looking for a better deal.
  15. The Obsolete Man

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Decent prices and an extra coupon netted me Doctor Who: William Hartnell Season 2 and Jon Pertwee Season 3 for around $30 each, which is my sweet spot for... well, any Doctor Who on Blu. So I'm current again on Classic Who until Season 20 from the Peter Davison years is released in the US.

    I've heard it both ways. /'Bout time.Thanks, Uni. Hope the extended cut episodes make the transition to an HD format.

    Press Release MPI Press Release: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet Seasons 13 & 14 (DVD)

    Couple of delays here and there, but overall, the series took about a month per season to make it out on DVD. Not bad considering there were no official season releases when June 2022 began, and definitely nothing restored and remastered. This was a hell of a project Sam Nelson, UCLA, and MPI...

    Some news regarding a few complete TV series forthcoming on DVD on 9/26/2023...Details Below.

    Hm. Blue Collar and Pinky and the Brain are straight repackagings. I wonder if Pinky will include the much loathed Pinky, Elmyra and The Brain season? Step By Step, IIRC, will be one of the shows that is making its debut on store shelves, with most, if not all, having been Archives releases...

    Comic Collecting

    Never say never. Since my last post in this thread, the Great Material Continuum has provided with EC Archives, giving me nearly everything I needed in the $30-$60 range, including this morning's "happy 40th to me tomorrow" present of what I thought was the unobtainable Haunt of Fear 1-5 all in...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    I ordered it a few weeks back in June when it hit $40, with an estimated arrival date of July 8. They pushed its arrival out to August, and that's where estimated arrivals are still for the set through Amazon. So, it was easy enough to cancel, especially with a set in hand.
  21. The Obsolete Man

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Grabbed Hogan's Heroes on Blu used from Amazon in the mid-$50s. Also, since I was in Walmart, I grabbed Mayberry RFD complete and canceled my Amazon order that kept getting pushed out. Same price, and it was in my hands, so I stood there, canceled the Amazon order, and walked out with Not-Andy.

    Scott Atwell Star Trek Discussion thread (Series and Films)

    Yeah, when this popped up elsewhere and namechecked AHS and 24, the first thing I thought was "The man who made Enterprise (along with the addition of the Reeves-Stevenses to the staff) the show it should've been from day one. Among Trekkies, he's the guy who pulled a show out of the mire...

    Ozzie & Harriet Release From Sam Nelson?

    I think we would've crowdfunded a way to Futurama head in a jar you to get you to the end of the series had the 2050 date not been a placeholder. I figure dates are still in flux with production capacity and all at the remaining plant, so places like MPI get what they get. And they're still...

    TARGET Buy 2, Get 1 Free on Movies, Video Games, Board Games, Books -- June 11th - June 17th

    To go to both David and Neal's posts above me, that's why I always keep up on Target's sales and post over in the TV section when they pop up. Some people just don't know about them, and some get to take advantage of the pre-orders while they're active, before the inevitable cull. And we all get...

    TARGET Buy 2, Get 1 Free on Movies, Video Games, Board Games, Books -- June 11th - June 17th

    Glad to see I'm not the only one who bought Ozzie and Harriet's recently released two seasons and Bonanza 12-14. Had to finish up the order with the Jackie Gleason 70th set I didn't already have, even though it cost a little less than I hoped. Might go back for the three John Ridley Black...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Target B2G1 week is here. So, Bonanza 12, 13, and 14 to finish out the set, Ozzie and Harriet 11 and 12, and that Jackie Gleason 70th set to get some Honeymooners I didn't already have.

    Press Release MPI Press Release: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet Seasons 1 & 2 (DVD)

    The remainder will probably pop up on streaming after the disc releases, as they have been doing. And looking back at the first post of this thread, the entire series in a little over a year. MPI and Sam Nelson and UCLA and everyone else should be commended for getting this done and released...

    Pre-Order Cheers: The Complete Series (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Cheers had to be reassembled from the original negatives way back when. Later seasons were edited on videotape. Odds are, those soft shots are uprezzed videotape and the best they could do. I don't fault them for those. If the original negatives were lost, there was nothing else they could do.
