Koch would have liked to put out the entire lot, but for some reason, they couldn't figure out how to acquire the Canadian distribution rights to US Season 4 (aka Canadian Season 2). That's why there is not a "Season 2" set from them.
The reason there were able to be Season 4 episodes on the...
Garrett:
The reason for this is because these sets are long out-of-print, so now they're considered rare/collectible. I didn't buy mine when they came out (due to a few edits and reports about video quality), but regretted that when they went OOP and the price shot up. The video quality really...
No wonder the boxart was a carbon copy of the US artwork. Well, if that's all these are, I already picked up the original US releases of those in $3.00-6.00 bargain bins over the last few years. You'd think Alliance would've done a better job, considering they own the episodes in the first place!
According to a reviewer on the Amazon.ca page for this title, it may "only" be the 39 HBO episodes (which are the only ones I'm interested in anyway, so long as they're the original unedited versions). I quote:
Of course, there are two different ways to interpret that boxart, and both ways lead...
Seems unlikely, but it's entirely possible. Alliance's recent Canadian re-release of Lexx: Season 4 was a six-disc set for the same price-point. Granted, we're talking about 24 hours worth of material (and single-sided discs) in that case, but all of Alliance's "budget TV" releases of the same...
I wonder if this art is the real thing or just a mock-up. The reason I say that is if you compare it to the US HBO volume 1 release, the front cover (including slogan and even the guest-star list) is exactly the same in both content, photo composition and color, type style, etc. to the US...
Looks like Alliance's Hitchhiker: The Complete Series has been delayed yet again! It was supposed to street yesterday, but when you look at Amazon.ca, instead of 'in stock', it says "ships in 1-2 months"! At Amazon and CDPlus, they still give the previously-announced August release date, but I...
That's my worry/concern. Not only do we have to wonder whether all the nudity/language will be intact in the HBO episodes (after all, edited versions were distributed for USA Network reruns/US syndication), we also have to worry about whether they will know to include the three original Nicholas...
Picked up HBO's volume 3 at Big Lots recently ($3.00). I've heard volume 2 was spotted at certain Big Lots stores, meaning all three have been remaindered there in the $3.00 bins for awhile. Wish HBO would revisit this and do chronological sets (or at least, one big set with all the...
Unfortunately, HBO released some of them on their "best of" boxset. Though I'd really like to believe HBO would release a (US) Season 4 (Can. Season 2) set, I highly doubt it, which means if we want them all, we'll have to buy several episodes "twice" if we bought the Canadian set. I wasn't...
Dave: I guess I wasn't clear. What I was looking for was a list of episodes that are on the US set that HBO Video put out, because, like you say, the Canadian set is simply collects the first 26 episodes (actaully, the first three seasons if you go by the US episode guides). As the US set...
