    The Rocky & Bullwinkle Season 2 reissue set is listed as a 2017 release. CHEERS! :)

    STILL releasing double sided DVDs in 2017? UGH!! :P

    I would hope that everyone is way past issuing double sided DVDs, at this stage! CHEERS! :)

    Thank you very much for kindly checking the "Far Out Munsters" episode, Ben! That's disappointing Universal didn't use the release of The Munsters 2016 series reissue DVD set as an opportunity to extend the availability of the 3 episodes that had their original music restored beyond the U.S...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    Perhaps for the sake of irrefutable verification, I might suggest you check the opening scene for "Far Out Munsters." If the song playing on the phonograph features vocals ("Just A Little" by the Beau Brummels. Yes, they originally used a song by a different mid sixties band!), then Universal...

    Going on the assumption The Munsters 2016 reissued series DVD set doesn't have the original music restored to the 3 aforementioned Season 1 episodes, I do regret not having contacted Universal regarding my concerns over these same episodes with original music restored for purchase as Digital...

    Does that include the Season 1 VOBs for Dance With Me, Herman; Far Out Munsters; and The Sleeping Cutie? These are the 3 episodes that had the music replacements. I'm asking this with full awareness that you very likely have included these in your VOB checks, and if so, I find this very...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    Still, I believe Universal "covertly" remastering The Munsters replacement music episodes on their respective discs IS possible. While I cannot speak for matching serial numbers on the Abbott And Costello 2008 Complete Universal Pictures Collection with the 2014 edition, I do know that...

    Sorry, I should have indicated Amazon.com Third Party Vendor, as that was what I meant, and is what's accurate. Of course, Amazon third party vendors could be located just about anywhere in the world. However, this doesn't seem to factor in as to whether or not a given item will ship to my...

    Perhaps it may be that this occurs more on the Canadian end? I wouldn't say it's that common, but I have run into the can't ship to this address situation quite a few times over the past several years. One time, this happened when I tried to order, of all things, a VHS of ONE NIGHT IN THE...

    Thank you, jc! Yes, inputting the ASIN does work! Oddly enough, it's the ONLY thing that works from my end! I even subsequently tried copying and pasting the exact title to see if that would work - NOPE! The really stupid thing is I went through the motions of ordering The Munsters: The...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    Thanks Howie, but nope, even with holding down <CTRL> it STILL keeps redirecting me to the .ca page! What frustrates the fuck out of me is the stupid randomness of this redirecting nonsense! Before this stupid bullshit, it had been months since I ran into this! Frankly, I really resent it...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    Thanks, jc! These pages I am able to access I just wish that I could access the Amazon.com page (I agree- BLOODY ODD that I can't seem to do so, for some unknown reason!!), so that I could address the music replacement issue there, as well! I suppose I'll just have to keep trying the Amazon...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    I was going by the fact that when I looked it up on amazon.com only the "old" covers displayed. As it stands, clicking on the above .com link redirects me to the .ca site, where I get the "old" version, so I'll have to take your word for it that the new version is on the U.S. Amazon site. Why...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    Here's why I think what you say may not necessarily be the case: While on the surface, Universal's 2014 Reissue of the ABBOTT AND COSTELLO: THE COMPLETE UNIVERSAL PICTURES COLLECTION appeared to be purely a "lazy" repackaged set, I later discovered that the previous 2008 full trunk set included...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    This may not be the place to ask, but does anyone now whether THE MUNSTERS COMPLETE SERIES 2016 reissued DVD set by Universal includes the original music reinstated versions of "The Sleeping Cutie" and "Far Out Munster," that are otherwise only available via Amazon.com Digital Download, which is...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    Yes, I do see the Abbott & Costello Franchise sets are now mostly sold by Amazon Marketplace vendors, although the price points aren't generally in the stratospheric range, yet! In terms of play-ability, the only two instances that I recall having issues with Flipper discs, were in fact, with...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    Good question! At least Universal's '04 Legacy sets, which include Flippers mixed with single sided DVDs, seem to have finally slipped into used copies, via Amazon Marketplace status on Amazon. Here's the '04 Dracula set, just as an example...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    True, but I'm thinking Warner's situation regarding that can't be any worse than Universal's, who are obviously NOT bothering with write offs, but just hoping some unsuspecting "patsies" will eventually buy off their remaining Flipper DVD inventory, even as they've also issued single sided...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    Unlike Universal, whose current inventory includes three sets of Abbott & Costello DVD collections, including the over a decade old 4 volume "Best Of" Franchise Flipper disc set (OK, the "Best Of" volumes are technically separate, but I'm lumping them together for the sake of simplicity!)! :P...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    In all seriousness, if it wasn't for those !@#$% flipper discs, I would've likely ordered that Flintstones complete series DVD set, but I just won't buy any more double sided discs if I can avoid it, especially combined with that stupid tight@$$ sleeve packaging! Warner really needs to do...

    Universal Studios & Warner Brothers Reissued DVD Sets

    Regarding Warner Brothers, there's THE FLINTSTONES Season and Series DVD sets, which regrettably, STILL have those annoying last disc of each season flippers! I mention this, because Amazon Canada has the complete series for under $50 Canadian as the "Deal of the Day", which I briefly...

    Similarly, Universal did this with their Abbott & Costello Feature film catalogue, releasing the single sided 28 Feature "Treasure Chest" edition (With some modifications, Including the previously held back IT AIN'T HAY!) in 2008, followed by a more compact packaged version reissued in 2014...

    Hi bmasters9! I had already purchased the first two GILLIGAN'S ISLAND season set flipper discs when I discovered the season 3 single sided set at our local Future Shop (Now Best Buy) a couple of years back. I didn't get that set then priced at $10, only because one of the loose DVD's was...

    Hi jcroy! Apart from the Miami Vice Releases, which in my view, occurred too far apart (Over 1 year, which doesn't even strike me as coincidental.) to have been considered a deliberate tie in, the other Titles certainly fit that billing! CHEERS! :) Tony

    Hi jcroy! While I know of the Flipper DVD/HD-DVD discs, this is the first I've heard about Blu-Ray/DVD Flippers! I'm really glad that Warner didn't go this route for the BATMAN TV SERIES Sets! YEECH!! :P CHEERS! :) Tony
