You're lucky to get the Sandy Duncan one. Boomerang have been repeating these regularly for about thelast ten years, and up until about a year ago they showed every single one except the one with Sandy Duncan. It used to be in the TV listings and they would invariably show the Sonny and Cher...

I wish they'd release the remaining 65 Centurions episodes. Very odd they have only managed the "original mini-series", leaving the vast bulk untouched.

It's a shame that Prince Planet won;t be complete though - unless the delay was to include those 6 missing from the release.

Woo! That's come out of the blue (no pun intended). I expected a much longer gap, as with the wait between the first and second sets. That's all they are - sets; Marine Boy has no "seasons" - it is all one series. I guess that WA wanted to avoid what would be a very expensive nine-disc set (and...

I'd much rather Warner concentrated on putting out stuff that isn;t available at all, rather than putting stuff out that already is again but on BluRay. TBH I think the original source animation is typically the relatively crude HB stuff of the era. I really don't see how it could benefit much...

And there you have the perfect illustration of the sort of reply that drives people nuts. It's designed to give the impression they're answering you, but actually not saying anything at all. It's the precide strategy that politicians use and precisely why they are held in such general contempt...

It's good but a lot less impressively long if you take out the one-off movie-style specials. I know studios are always reluctant to say what's in the works because a release can get majorly delayed or fall through for any numbe rof reasons, but also agree with the sentiment that it wouldn;t...

It's not an insidious plot. It's a preferred business model that is perfectly reasonable from the stuios point of view that happens to be very bad news indeed from the viewpoint of the collector. They exist to maximise their proft and nothing else. The streaming model does that, along with...

"Hollywood urgently wants consumers to form digital movie libraries, the modern-day equivalent of rec room shelves lined with DVDs. The reason: Selling a digital movie is three times more profitable for studios than renting one. Studios see ownership as a way to return their home entertainment...

It's not. The Warner Archive is clearly aimed at the collector market and collectors are much more attached to physical media than the mainstream casual viewer - the latter see content as "view it and throw it away". Collectors want stuff to keep - the Archive produces enough physical media to...

Whew, I thought they'd dropped the Marine Boy releases it's been solong since the last one!

I do hope they manage to release the full Centurions. It's a great show (I remember watchign it Saturday mornings as a guilty treat because I;d started work by then!) and most people don't realise how many episodes they made along with the addition of Rex Charger and John Thunder...there were...

This is HB I know, but have we heard anything about further Marine Boy releases? Heck, I hope they didn;t do just the "first season" (there's really no such thing anyway but...) and then drop them.

Unbelievably annoying that only the first season got released. I have a feeling the rights might be different or soemthing like that...I bet it's Toho that is the holdup.

Worth noting that both Banana Splits and Fantastic Voyage are available here in the UK

There is no such thing as "seasons" in Marine Boy. The whole 78 episode run is actually the second season of the third Japanese series, which was the only stuff that ever got redubbed for international release and is the only Marine Boy that anyone outside of Japan who watched them a long time...

I remember watching Marine Boy a very, very long time ago, when I was seven or eight - and I'm fifty years old this year! This refers to the UK broadcast. Of course, the 78 dubbed episodes are by no means the complete story; in fact it is only the second season of the third Japanese series. The...

If you could do that then you could also make multiple copies. Which is why the studios are pushing streaming rather than downloading so hard - and also why services like iTunes lock you into a format or player. Amazon, for example, let you actually download a copy of your Kindle books - you...

TVShowsOnDVD list a forthcoming Scooby Doo set. It's yet another one of those compilation job (this one is called "Run for your Rife" - gettit?) and it includes another of the "Missing Eight" Scooby Doo Show episodes (actually, segments from the Laff-A-Lympics)- Hang in There, Scooby Doo...

I think one of my favourites is Colossus (not yet released) where Apache Chief "En-ek-chock"s multiple times over until he is much bigger than the whole Earth. According to Wiki his tribal powers were originally limited to making him about 50 feet tall, but he learnt to extend it to unlimted...

Yes. Lots! In fact AFAIK it originated in Challenge of the SuperFriends. For some reason they all decide to live in a headquarters that looks like Darth Vader's helmet and spends most of it;s time submerged under a swamp :)

Ah, do they mean, it's exclusive to Target for a limited time, or it's a limited time only release, though ? :) This said, if anyone on here would be willing to pick one of these up and send it on to me here in England, I'd be extremely grateful! All postage costs etc covered of course.

Link, please? Target's search system is dire. Is this release available for order online or is it just an advert? Hard to believe any release this side of the stone age would be instore only, but you never know!

I'm assuming TVShowsOnDVD don't report such exclusives because they would, essentially, be doing free adverts for the store - in this case Target.

Hope so!

There's more than eight episodes not on DVD. AFAIK: This is "Season Four" which has not had a previous release. But "Season Five" and "Season Six" have also not had a DVD release, but "Season Seven" has - in the "Lost Episodes" set. These are the 1980-1983 episodes and are the biggest gap...

Roll on Marine Boy then :)

You can get Fantastic Voyage here in the UK.

Let's hope that Marine Boy is the whole series, rather than just more one-off episodes in Saturday Morning collections!

Note that rights to stream a show are different to releasing it on "home video". I'm not sure of the full legalities, but I think it is something like streaming is closer to broadcasting. Eveidently, most shows of any vintage were created with contracts that covered broadcasting re-use, but only...
