OK, you guys have calmed my fears a bit with good information. I have to admit that while I thought about b&w (versus color) taking up less space on each disc, I still thought 10 episodes per might be pushing it. But I feel better after reading some of the comments.
Gary “bring on seasons 1...
And, as best I can tell, these aren't the run of the mill 22 minute episodes more modern shows run at. These are 25+ minute episodes, especially if any original commercials are being included. So that's even more information being crammed onto the discs. I just think 7-8 episodes of that length...
Only positive explanation I can come up with his that they changed their mind about cramming all those episodes onto only four discs. Might we get five instead?
Gary “holding out hope that’s the explanation“ O.
I disagree that my one post is going to lead to a bunch of long-range misunderstandings. I mean, the only way that happens is if people literally don't read one more post after mine in the thread. And that doesn't seem likely at all.
But they were an actual money-making website. That's a far...
So I've got some news for these upcoming Ozzie & Harriet releases. I called MPI yesterday and amazingly the receptionist put me through to the VP of sales when I inquired about the O&H season sets coming in May. I kinda stretched the truth and made it sound like I was involved in purchasing...
Agreed. My next question is: When will we see Seasons 3 & 4? That will tell us something about MPI's scheduling. Here's to hoping the economy doesn't totally collapse, or I don't collapse, before this series is completed.
Gary "my desire is that they release a minimum of 6 seasons per year -...
I'm with you, Josh. I was about to put an order in with DD when I read about the issues above. It's definitely wise, imho, to hold off until things are sorted out properly.
Am also with those that would definitely hope MPI doesn't try to cram 39 episodes onto four discs. That's just not...
Do we know for sure that the bonus disc is Ozzie and Harriet Christmas episodes? I think the ad is referencing the Christmas reunion movie, which was not very good and was the bonus disc that I also received when I ordered the set a couple of months back.
Gary “that’s my guess” O.
I’m not an expert on Time Life, but it seems to me that generally you can get somewhere between a 20% to 25% off coupon at certain times.
Gary “the set is expensive, but I’m finding it’s been worth every penny“ O.
For anyone that bought the Time Life set, it’s obvious how important Sam Nelson’s work on the series has been. The copyright after every episode makes that abundantly clear.
Gary “of course all of us still want season sets and hope those are coming in the new year“ O.
If memory serves me correctly it was MPI that offered to work with him, but he wanted to go it alone. Huge mistake all the fans are paying for.
Gary “so bummed this series didn’t make it to remastered, season set release status” O. :(:(:(
Over the years many of us have had multiple discussions about our "Holy Grail" sets that have yet to be released, but I can honestly say this series is the final one on my wish list. Not that I wouldn't purchase many other sets (and I do agree that 50's comedies are the most under-presented at...
Not quite everyone, Neil. I had serious misgivings from the moment it was announced and for that reason I never jumped on the bandwagon. I wanted it to happen, to be sure. I was hoping it would happen. But I was one of the folks that was completely realistic about it.
Thanks for making my...
Here, here. This show, maybe more so than any other I can think of, has that same soothing affect on me as well, Ron. It's like a tonic after a long hard day in the "real" world. After watching an episode of Ozzie & Harriet I always find myself more relaxed and in a much better mood.
Gary...
The sad thing is we would probably already have a season set or two in our hands had an offer of help been accepted. As it stands now I don't have even a shred of hope I'll ever see this entire series released on dvd.
Gary "as the last great holy grail left on my list, the developments in...
Yep. Then I'm stopping by Miller's Malt Shop for a chocolate float, where I'll show off my new sport coat. :D
Gary "by far my #1 most wanted series on dvd at this point" O.
It's discussions like this that have caused me to pull back and almost stop posting altogether.
Gary "everyone have a great evening" O.
P.S. John Hermes, I'm not talking about you, my friend.
John, I'm going to call dibs on a tie with you as far as who wants it more (because I really, really, really want this to happen). :)
As for Jimmy's comments, I still say it's silly to ever actually be happy that a release is taking far longer than originally anticipated. None of us knows how...
Unless you know how long you are going to live, this makes zero sense. Why would you be happy about it taking longer than originally anticipated? I'll go on record and say that while I'm glad Sam Nelson decided to start the process, I'm not happy he decided to forego help from a studio and do...
