    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    Not if my grandkids have anything to say about it... they love classic 60s TV - many, many series. Some are in their top 10 favorites of all time. Things like I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, Batman, Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and more.

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    That's because just about *anyone* can play the "suit" in a superhero movie as long as they act mostly like the audience is expecting. Basically - a script that's "true to form" for the guy in the suit. Most of those movies require very little in the form of "acting." As long as you can say...

    Go through this thread: The Great HTF Music Challenge - With only a few exceptions, I own a copy of every selection I posted.

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    I'm not so sure. According to my 18yo grandson, who's somewhat a WWII buff, they kind of glossed over WWII in school. He's asked me about most of it and was shocked when we watched a documentary on Auschwitz.

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    Well... my older (11, 15, 18) grandkids *do* know who those cartoon characters are (and many others), who Pink Floyd, the Bee Gees, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles (group and solo stuff), (and many, many others) are, as well as dozens of 50s/60s TV series, and like many of them (the 18yo loves...

    Well... my "date" with Hank is delayed. Between my ordering and the order shipping, Hank went to Backordered status. Bummer. I have a 50% fill rate with DD and that process.

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    I'd initially checked Amazon and when seeing nothing but inflated MP vendor offers remembered that Amazon and Warner's are currently "at odds" with few, if any, of the Warner Archive titles being offered for sale directly (Amazon offers them only via their "CreateSpace" program and not directly...

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    I'll know soon. As luck would have it, that title's on sale for $19.35 at deepdiscount and they have an additional 10% off with purchase of 3 or more select titles (Hank is part of that sale too). So... Hank, The Cyclops (BR), and The Sea Hawk (BR) are on their way...

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    I'd never seen Hank and don't remember hearing of it before it was released on disc. I had to look it up to see why (back then I memorized the TV schedule - even for shows I didn't watch). I give you 4 words: The Wild Wild West in its premier season. Hank had the misfortune of airing opposite...

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    I'd think streaming is the place you'd most likely find "obscure" titles, especially if they've been digitized. In that case they're already on a server somewhere so all a studio has to do is say "When you purchase this package of our top titles we'll throw in this group of classic/catalog...

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    It's because each division is treated as an independent company. The corporate home sells those services to other people/studios. To keep the books properly they also have to sell to themselves. And they usually give themselves no discount. That's how they track in-house profit vs. outside...

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    The sad reality is none, absolutely none, of the shows you mention would earn back the cost of restoring/remastering needed to provide true HD quality transfers much less provide enough profit for a studio to green light such treatment. Few are being seen in syndication. The studios do not care...

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    When I look over the number of unopened seasons I own I often think the very same thing. It's time to watch... stop purchasing... I easily have enough *unopened* seasons to last the next 5 years, if not more, with 4 hour per day viewing sessions. Add all the seasons I *have* watched and it's...
