Why did you think The Bionic Woman on Blu would be an easy next decision to be put out?

It's 28 (4 per season), the same number as the original out-of-print Creek (and apparently, the episodes seem to be apportioned the same way as on the Creek). Also, this new VEI has captioning, unlike the Creek.

Tell you the truth, that wouldn't bother me all that much, because, as with Riptide, I wouldn't be seeing Hunter from a perspective of knowing what all the music was like (and as I've said before, if I was familiar w/the music from top to bottom, that would spoil the experience immensely).

That Hunter release news is most welcome, even if VEI puts more episodes per disc than Mill Creek did, because I've only had the first go of it in the Creek version, and the Creek all-in-one DVD has never come down from the high price it's been since it originally went out of print.

That's understandable-- it's easy to get NBC's two Mc Mystery Movie series confused.

Yes, there should-- there should be a TV on DVD Roundup: 50s-80s, and another one for 90s-current.

Ah! Didn't know those were there.

It could also be because that release was vanilla-- no bonuses (that could have easily made the PQ go down, because bonuses are additional content).

Do you think that when Bonanza is done (assuming it is, which I believe will be the case soon; I may be incorrect), CBS will put out a condensed all-in-one akin to their monster Gunsmoke release?

How does a DVD distributor own rights to the text of a booklet?

As was done on Barney Miller?

Correct! I totally forgot about the bonus disc.

18 discs, IIRC.

Do you think this new Bob Newhart Show release will have the six seasons' worth condensed into two cases with three seasons apiece, as opposed to the three cases w/two apiece of before?

I think that's the best definition of the word, myself.

That's a great point-- you'd think they'd use better terminology for gag reels than "unexposed footage."

According to this DVD Talk review of that third-season Northern Exposure release (written for the original double-sided edition), "unexposed footage" means "a few funny gag reels where people forget their lines or start to laugh."...

It certainly did-- in fact, here's the front and back of the third-season (1991-92) redo on singles:

Hart to Hart also was called "The Final Season" on the front, but had "The Complete Fifth Season" on the spine and the back (in that fifth-and-final-season release from Shout!).

We might still be in luck though-- when this comes out, they might actually put the season number on the back.

I hope not either-- unfortunately, this is probably the way the series will be packaged.

Not only the 20th and final go, but also an all-in-one (just a guess on that all-in-one, about the packaging-- do you think it will have the discs stacked up 2-3 to a mini-spindle, as many CBS all-in-ones have done lately?).

How many times has that same all-in-one been put out in different versions?

I think that's it (except that the ones I'm speaking of had three discs on most of them).

It says for one thing (besides Return to Eden) that the Cheers all-in-one is being redone again; will this one have the discs stacked on mini-spindles, as was done w/The Untouchables, Hogan's Heroes, and The Streets of San Francisco, among others?

Never realized that Sony had made such a commitment on that front!

Did they do this because they seemed to realize that many of the people who remember their shows (the shows from Paramount, et al. that they own) wanted to remember those shows as they originally aired, logos and all?

Two of my chief wants being Crazy Like A Fox and Trapper John, M.D.!

What I'd like to know is why that one had no booklet in it, nor a listing of the bonuses on the back of it, as the original version did.

Speaking of which-- recently noticed a newer version of the Barney Miller all-in-one at the Wal-Mart in Simpsonville; this one has just the four cases for the eight seasons, and no booklet; has anyone else seen this?
