    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    I'm not sure. I pre-ordered both The Six Million Dollar Man and Soul Train soon after they were announced. I didn't order Get Smart until a few months after it had been released. I was on the fence about the set but finally decided to get it.

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    I've bought three large sets from TimeLife in the past (Six Million Dollar Man, Soul Train and Get Smart) and never had any of the delivery problems that seem to be happening with this Carol Burnett set. My Get Smart set did take forever to ship, but that was because they were out of stock when...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    Oh lord was that a debacle! In a nut shell, CBS released the first season pretty much 100% intact. Music and all. With the exception of maybe some popular songs, everything was there. Then they released season two and the flack hit the fan. Due to some uncertainty over a few Capitol Music...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    I happen to catch part of the Time Life commmercial for the Ultimate set last night. Well....the way things are stated in the commercial ALL of the episodes are complete and uncut. Time Life makes it a BIG point of stating that more than once throughout the few minutes I happened to watch it...

    I meant to respond to this but got distracted by other things. Yes, he purposely waited and saved it as the very last question he asked. He knew how she felt about the film. For years it has been a HUGE no no topic with Miss Dunaway so I was really surprised that Lipton had the nerve to bring...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    When I lived in San Francisco, I met John Waters on the cable car one day and we talked about the movie and his commentary on the DVD. I'd still like to see the moment on Inside The Actor's Studio when they asked Faye Dunaway about the movie. I'd love to know what she had to say about it 20+...

    I was just thinking of that movie this morning.

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    Sorry, I didn't mean you specifically. There were others here and outside of this board that were pressuring me to dump my Columbia House DVDs for this set. It got to the point where I just simply got fed up with trying to explain my reasons for not wanting to purchase and being financially...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    Hmmm....That seems to be what a few folks thought I should do by selling off my Columbia House DVDs before buying this new set. Glad I didn't.

    The more that I hear about this set the more I do not regret not being able to get it.

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    That seems to be as good of an explanation as any I guess. I really don't know either. It is kind of stupid in my opinion. For $200.00 for the set there really is no reason at all for each disc not to contain at least 3 episodes. That still leaves plenty of room for any bonus stuff they want to...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    I have to agree with you on this point. If you are charging $200.00 for a set of this size, each disc should be utilized to its maximum capacity. This seems to be a frequent aspect of TimeLife's larger sets. The Soul Train set was the same way. Some discs had 5 or 6 episdoes while others had 3...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    Yep. You're right. The good thing is when I get those 9 episodes I will still be ahead of the game with at least 69 unedited episodes and 2 edited ones. I probably won't have all of the bonus features but those really don't mean all that much to me in the first place.

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    Thaks for the heads up on the cut episodes. I guess every cloud really does have a silver lining. I couldn't afford the set and wasn't willing to off load any of my 31 Columbia House DVDs until I could replace them. Looks like I won't be getting rid of any of them after all. Since the previoulsy...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    Wow, in all of these various new configurations, is it possible to get all nine of the previoiusly unreleased episodes (disc 8, 12, 13, 15, and 18) in one set? This would really pull in sales from folks like me who purchased all of the previous Columbia House discs (31 in total) and keep us from...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    Well, looking at the episodes on the 11 disc set there is only one that isn't on the Columbia House set. Episode 610. I guess if they put all 9 of the previously unreleased episodes on this set they wouldn't sell any of the ultimate set. Oh well, it still puts me out of the game. I'll just have...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    Except I need to raise the money for the new set and purchase it BEORE I sell off a single disc of what I already have. I guess that is what isn't being figured into the equation. I will not sell off anything unless I can replace it. The whole bird in the hand thing. Selling what I already have...

    Just wait until the new sets start arriving at people's doors. I guanatee you that the number of discs for sale on Amazon will have a significant jump. Everyone is so Polly Anna about being able to sell the extras on Amazon. Sorry, if it were really that easy I wouldn't still be sitting of...

    For those folks that have either the Colubia House or Guthy Renker set here are the volume numbers that you can sell because both episodes on those volumes appear on the new Time Life set. Columbia House & Guthy Renker: Volume 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16 & 21 Columbia House Only (after...

    NY2LA I was going to reply to your post but you have deleted it. If I remember from reading it early this morning you mentioned the better transfers or picture quality and the tons of bonus features. For myself, these are not good enough selling points to justify another $200.00+ for 41 episodes...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    At the time Columbia House was releasing their DVDs of Carol Burnett they were the ONLY company doing so. Yes, there were only 2 episodes a disc and yes they were $20.00+ a pop plus shipping. Again, at the time this was the ONLY way to get complete uncut episodes of the show. Then Guthy Renker...

    See my post here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/321236/time-life-press-release-the-carol-burnett-show-the-ultimate-collection/90 if you have either the Columbia House set or Guthy Renker set. I have listed what episodes are new to DVD.

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    I've been mulling this over for the last couple of days, and here is my two cents worth on content for these releases. I have all 31 Columbia House releases and I'm not sure, but somewhere after volume15 or so, the intros with Carol, Harvey and Tim stopped. So, I'm guessing that these episodes...

    Any news on a Carol Burnett Show DVD?

    The Columbia House DVDs are now out of print. They stopped the subcription thing a while back. There are 32 volumes in the series of DVDs. Each with 2 complete shows. As for the Guthy-Renker DVDs, I know that they offer a 5 volume set. The discs look exactly like the Columbia House series...
