You don't understand. There is a history where some of us have been on the other side of his dismissive comments going back over a decade. I don't generally go in that direction, but believe me, he isn't offended, he dishes it out plenty, which is why Ron interjected "Guys, ignore the noise...
The funny thing about all this, Neil is a collector and historian type when it comes to classic TV, so you would think he would be for anything that preserves it for future generations, which is exactly what restoring classic TV to HD/UHD does. Unlike many shows from the 70's through 90's that...
Yes, considering all the classic movies that WAC has restored in HD for many-many years now, they finally do a TV show, and a "movie" person claims foul. As my daughters who were big Full House fans in their younger years would say "how rude!"
They're on blu-ray in HD, which means they are made for the "hi-def" crowd, the aspect ratio will be OAR as it should be.
Enjoy your dumbed down quality while we watch it as WAC meant it to be watched after putting in all the effort to scan the film elements to 4K. Even your 16mm master's won't...
You're missing the point. Healthy discussion is great. No one is trying to silence dissenting opinions or relevant suggestions. Say it once, say it twice, but what exactly is the point of repeating the same thing over and over again on a forum like this? The message has been sent loud and clear...
And others just can't help but complain...over...and over...about something they have no control over. One can pretty much set their watch by when your post is going to come out after a WAC release announcement. Earlier on they tended to be harsher, since then you lighten it up on the WAC...
I do not have the historical knowledge, nor the understanding of the significance of each title WAC selects for release. However, what I do know is that when I check out various WAC threads across forums each title has its fan base that are happy for its release, so they must be doing something...
Really...I would have thought the opposite from most of what I've read from people here. I took this to be a fairly obscure title that hasn't seen much replay, which is why I thought they had to go back to the film elements.
Understood. I wasn't into streaming for quite a while, but when classic series started streaming complete in HD, far better than what is on disk, I could no longer ignore it. CBS/Paramount shows are as good on disk as SD allows. The Virginian on disk is quite good, as are the WB westerns...
Not as a single set, but yes, all seasons have been available as individual season sets in the past. However, that isn't really the best way to watch, the Timeless/Shout! sets were always of questionable quality. If you don't mind streaming, STARZ has all seasons currently in HD and they look...
I've never heard of needing separate rights between DVD and HD formats. My guess is that they want to do it right and the one thing that we haven't seen streaming are the "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" episodes in HD. I'm guessing that because the show is so iconic that they are taking the time to...
I can understand being happy with a setup. Especially, if there are no benefits to upgrading. I always wanted to be able to watch from a big screen since I recall seeing a Jetson episode as a kid with a TV screen fill a wall. I built my HT room back in 2004. Except for buying a blu-ray player in...
And when that time comes, you will leap past standard blu-ray and HD TV's and move from SD/DVD straight to UHD/4K TV's. Just curious, what is the fascination with watching 4:3 SD content on a CRT screen? Is it just about not wanting to upgrade until forced to by having your equipment stop...
I wouldn't want to watch window-boxed either. Having watched 4:3 content on a widescreen TV since 2004, I can say I never pay any attention to the bars. Especially, given it means I can watch at the original aspect ratio, which appears to be a concern for you as well. Given that you've indicated...
I can add that I have 1000+ sports games I watch that were recorded from the late 70's through 90's that originated from tape recordings of the original broadcasts. Evolving technology hasn't prevented me from still enjoying them today.
I get it, to a point, but it doesn't match my experiences. I've had a 92" projection system since 2004, before blu-ray was ever available. Yes, I watched live TV/Sports in HD but everything else was SD/DVD for several years. Yes, my screen is 16:9, but 4:3 content has always been viewed in the...
Sometimes in streaming they will use the full negative giving a bit more on the sides while truncating some top and bottom to create a faux widescreen image, but that is more of an anomaly then true for most 4:3 content streaming in HD. At least that has been my experience. Blu-ray releases are...
At some point you may want to join the 21st century and get a blu-ray player and HDTV, if within means. Not only are you going to miss out on this series and possibly some others that skip DVD and go straight to HD, but also all the series that have been upgraded to HD for streaming and blu-ray...
I think your opinion in this regard is in the minority when it comes to studios and most consumers. I'm not saying physical media releases will stop or there isn't a demand, but just that streaming has advantages that both studios and the majority of consumers favor over physical media.
Blu-ray...
The fact it has been on cable and streaming on and off may hurt those chances. Especially, given that some of the streaming is in HD. O&H began streaming in conjunction or slightly after the releases, so there was less competition.
I'm guessing they are just trying to fix/reload content from behind the scenes. Hopefully, adding any missing episodes and it looks like the later seasons. Hopefully, it will all be resolved within a day or so.
Does appear they are missing a few episodes:
Season 6 - missing 2
Season 7 - missing 8
Season 8 - missing 2
Season 9 - none missing
Did not check earlier seasons since I already have them on DVD
Doesn't work for me. I search for "My Three Sons" and the show doesn't come up in the results. I scroll down and find the "Coming Soon to Prime" where I see the show listed. I click on that, and I only see Season 1 with one episode currently no available. I just think that as they are loading...
I never scrolled down and noticed that section before. Thanks.
Mine still just shows just season 1 with one episode and it is unavailable. My guess is that they are likely working on it, but the information has to be replicated across multiple servers, which can result in delays for some...
As I believe the streaming community are tired of hearing the same rhetoric about ownership and lost/changed content. The sooner the negative propaganda stops on both sides, the quicker we can move on and put the subject to bed, once and for all.
I haven't been in a BestBuy in over a decade. I tend to find my kitchen appliances at Home Deport or Lowes. I buy my TV's , some smaller appliances, and computers from Costco for their price and easy return, if needed. General purpose things on Amazon. The only thing I've used BestBuy for is...
