The fact that they're shooting a pilot for a new "Dallas" has nothing to do with getting Peyton Place on dvd. It's not a competition!
If we want PP back on dvd, we should be writing to Fox and asking them to distribute it as MODs. They're probably watching for Warner's sales figures and...
I think a lot of older viewers will tune into (at least), the pilot just out of curiosity. But the novelty of a J.R./Sue Ellen/Bobby reunion will run thin very quickly. They are in their 70s now, and you can't just have them running around and bed-hopping. It can't be the same old thing. They'd...
Larry Hagman also stated in that article that J.R. will begin the show having been in the looney bin for a while; practically catatonic. But it won't last long. I have no idea, really, if this pilot is going to series or not. A lot of the older characters are listed there, but I don't think a...
Huh! I guess you're right! I hadn't heard these rumors either...just that they were supposedly making a movie out of it, which thankfully never came to pass. It's quite true--Dallas is returning to tv. If the pilot doesn't sell, I hope they at least release it as a reunion movie...
"The...
If you read the original novel, you know very well that the Cross characters were way, way too salacious for 1960s television (LOL). There was a rape and incest storyline going on with them, and the mother was dying of "the clap." I often wonder if they could do a modern version that's closer to...
Yep--My Best Buys are carrying it too. Why do I even mention it? Because BB has been a pain in the ass lately in terms of NOT carrying classic tv releases. But BB does have PP.
Meanwhile, there's a poll at Shout! Factory's site, asking us which classic tv shows should get another volume...
Well if they're going 31 eps per box, then there will be 16.5 sets. I wouldn't count on each set remaining at 810 minutes as a matter of course. Running times may vary from episode to episode.
Does anyone have any good info or a link to info on the daytime version? I'm not sure what I'm hearing--was it really a continuation of the primetime serial? Or was it a reboot? In other words, is it worth rooting for Shout to release it after the primetime sets are complete? (I know--there's a...
All I would say to that is that whatever seemed shocking in 1964 would be considerably less so in 2009. Peyton Place was considered naughty and scandalous in its day; now we have Gossip Girl. I don't think 20-30 year olds will get into it, but it's perfect for nostalgia and should find its...
I'd probably buy it, but I think we shouldn't start looking for it until the next format, when there's more space per disc to cram in all these hundreds of episodes. I can't imagine they'd do season sets; it's just too much. They'll probably have to do sets of 40 or so eps per box, like Dark...
