2019 TV DVD Predictions? (1 Viewer)

[darkrock17]

I know I mentioned it before, but I purchased a couple of HD episodes of Gilligan's Island on Vudu. Oh my! They were standard 4x3 without any zooming or trickery and looked absolutely stunning! I would love to see it on blu.

Have any screen caps you could share with us?

I wish I did. I only use it on my blu-ray player, so I don't have any way of getting any. Sorry!

 

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

I still hope at least one of the following will be out this year (be it from CBS DVD MOD or VEI)...
Funny Face (1971) / The Sandy Duncan Show (1972)
The Cop and the Kid (1975-76)
Serpico (TV series) (1976-77)
Blansky's Beauties (1977)
Out of the Blue (1979 TV series) (1979)
Working Stiffs (1979)
The Associates (U.S. TV series) (1979-80)
Goodtime Girls (1980)
Madame's Place (1982-83) (given how VEI managed to fit the entire 14-episode season 2 run of The Bad News Bears on one DVD9 disc without any outstanding mastering issues, they should be able to fit all 93 episodes of this series across 7 DVD9 discs the same way)
Bronx Zoo (1987-88)
Duet (1987-89) / Open House (1989-90)
Day by Day (1988-89)
Dear John (U.S. TV series) (1988-92)

TV movies wanted:
The Silent Gun (1969)
Assault on the Wayne (1971)
Dr. Cook's Garden (1971)
Escape (1971)
Terror in the Sky (1971)
Women in Chains (1972)
Night of Terror (1972)
The Weekend Nun (1972)
Poor Devil (1973)
Call to Danger (1973) (this was supposed to be what Peter Graves was to work on in case Mission: Impossible was not to be renewed for the 1973-74 season)
Delancey Street: The Crisis Within (1975)
Red Alert (1977)
The Top of the Hill (1980)
The Girl, the Gold Watch and Everything (1980)
The Girl, the Gold Watch and Dynamite (1981)
Shooter (1988)

Well, WB Archives TV releases for February include:
What I Like About You (season 4)
Step By Step (season 4)

and re issuances of Knots Landing (season 2)
and some Babylon 5 odds and ends.

Was hoping for a bit more.

OMG.....Warner Brothers is killing me!!!! In regards to "Knots Landing".....why do they have the need to reissue seasons 1 (a couple of months ago) and now reissue season 2 (in February). FANS ALREADY HAVE THESE SEASONS!!! PLEASE RELEASE SEASONS 3-14!!!! Those are the seasons fans want!!! The redundancy is just ridiculous!!!

I feel your pain. Was hoping for two more previously unreleased tv seasons to come out. The sooner Alice, Perfect Strangers, Jamie Foxx, the Wayun Brothers, What I like about You, are finished, the sooner WBA can focus on older programming. I do realize they need to sell what is profitable to make money to get the more problematic releases out.

I thought the big issue with KL was music rights. Otherwise, it would be done by now. Now, that being said, if KL gets pushed into getting done, awesome, but let’s get Falcon Crest finished too!

I wish a British company could release the rare British mystery anthology Orson Welles Great Mysteries,
hosted by Orson Welles and whose theme music was by John Barry.

I have the HD version of S1 from iTunes. I'll see if I can get a good screenshot for you.

 

[seanrt]

This is the best I could get, had to snap from my AppleTV. I couldn't get directly from QT because of the DRM. The other poster is correct. They really look great and I am glad they didn't "open it up" to widescreen like they did with Wonder Woman.

More comedies need to be on Blu-Ray

 

[moviepas]

Screen Gems did The Hathaways with Peggy Cass & Jack Warden for ABs, and MGM did one season of National Velvet with the late Lori Martin.

 

[bmasters9]

More seasons of I Love Lucy - let's get 'em done - CBS Blu-Ray

You bet-- 1/3 of that classic comedy on Blu is nowhere near enough (2/9 if you count the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour specials)!

 

[MGW&G2002]

Who do I write to at the studios with my requests?

 

[oldtvshowbuff]

MGM did two seasons of National Velvet.

Hello,
distributor Network in the UK recently has released a ORSON WELLES GREAT MYSTERIES Vol.1 2DVD-Set
containing the first 13 episodes. I guess a Vol.2 2DVD-Set with the remaining 13 episodes will be
released later this year.
Kind regards, Klaus.

I ordered that set in March and I'm glad to get it because I haven't watched it since the Seventies.

 

[JamesSmith]

Well, the May WB Archives selections are out. TV Series includes the seventh and final seasons of Perfect Strangers, and the animated Detention.

[JamesSmith]

Using this old thread to post my guesses for WB's Archives July Releases: They are

Jamie Foxx Show season 5
Invasion America (a late nineties HB animated five part Sci-Fi special). Since July is San Diego Comic Con month, I'm guessing there will be some sort of scifi or animated release)
Step by Step (season 5 or 6)
The Alaskans (Roger Moore series)

Those are my far-out guesses. A mix of wishes and practicalities. Maybe we'll get lucky.
