Considering all the misspellings and flat out incorrect words used I believe the SDH was done by a computer. Even if it wasn't you'd think *someone* would check them before finalizing the discs!

I have a copy of every season but S1/S2/S3 are somewhat buried in some totes (we had some work done on the house and I had to remove all my discs - I've not taken everything out yet). I don't have an index of what's in which tote so getting them out would be rather laborious at this time. I...

I finally made time to check your claims of incorrect frame rate. You're wrong. I put a random disc from S4 in my computer's DVD player and launched VLC. It's *not* the 22nd episode (I believe it's #11). Here's what VLC says: The Frame rate is 29.970029. That's what you expect to see on a...

Sigh... here we go... again... 1960s/70s 2" (Quad) videotaped productions do *not* look like modern video which gave the "Soap Opera Effect" its name. It's not nearly as crisp, even if you go back to original tape and do some clean up. The episodes of Laugh In I've watched so far look exactly...

Isn't it funny how getting your first color TV was a "BIG DEAL" yet every innovation since, stereo and WS primarily, has been met pretty much with "Oh... OK." Everyone I knew wanted a color TV. When you finally got one you let everyone know. No one I know rushed out to purchase a TV with...

After watching several 60s shows with me my 15 year old grandson commented "Wow! Did everybody smoke back then?!" He was astounded at the number of people smoking in TV series. Having grown up in those years I never payed much attention. Looking back it's a bit surprising.

In the years Laugh-In aired there was roughly 10 minutes per hour allowed for commercials, but it could be less. An unedited episode from that time period should be in the 50 minute range. From a 1979 report, "PERCEPTUAL DISCREPANCIES IN THE TIME DURATION AND NUMBER OF TELEVISION COMMERCIALS":

I feel that way about all "reunion" type shows. I fully expect this to be a pale imitation of the original with the updated sketches and "modern takes on timeless moments" mostly falling flat. The announced "guests" don't give much hope for real funny either. I'll stick with the original shows.

No, the TL sets look like 2" video tape - except for the portions that were obviously shot on film.

All this talk about the presentation, and especially the comment above about "quick zooms appearing jerky" and "quick cuts being briefly divided" caused me to pull my S2 set to see what, if anything, I may have missed. Background: I worked in a broadcast control room from 1978-1999 and have...

I learned my lesson with Get Smart. TL had it for ~$250 (been a long time so I might be a bit off) and it was supposed to be receiving a "wide release" at some point. After 12-14 months I grew tired of waiting so when they had a sale and a coupon that would work with the sale I bit. I paid...

I've not checked to see if there are any exclusives in the TL release so take this with that in mind... I've been purchasing the individual seasons as they've been released. So far I've spent ~$45 for seasons 1-3 (S1 for ~$8, S2 - ~$17, and S3 - ~$20). Right now they're ~$60 from Amazon. I...

That's exactly why, in the late 60s, I started a music collection and the reason I started collecting TV shows and movies with the advent of DVD.

Season 3 is currently $20.55 at Amazon.

^According to Michael's Movie Mayhem it's still in print. It's only been out of stock at Amazon for about a week (camelcamelcamel - check the Amazon box and uncheck 3rd party) so that's no real indicator. I've seen them run out of stock and take a bit of time to get more on some titles making...

^I've watched many Time-Life informercials simply due to the production values and cleverness of the productions. They are the rare ones I used to stop surfing to watch.

You have to take into consideration that during the early years of the program she was very much in the eye of almost every male in the country as she was seemingly everywhere. One Million Years B.C. had been released only 8 months or so before the first episode of Laugh In. Bedazzled, with...

That stand-alone S1 release is now $14.89 at Amazon. I leaning heavily in the direction of buying this one as single seasons rather than the complete series purchase. I really want it all but that full series price is rather high.

And I've found a couple of those "exclusive" discs are actually part of another set that's been broken out of the main one. There's one I'm looking at right now where one of the 6 discs was the 7th "bonus" disc in a Costco set I already own which makes it harder to justify the purchase.

I'm not going to let this one pass me by as I did with the sampler releases. I'd lamented too often that I wanted the whole ball-of-wax and not samplers (same with Carol Burnett and The Smothers Brothers). But, unlike those other two, I put off getting the samplers anyway. I'm absolutely...
