I can't say for sure but I'd bet the house that it is.

I've heard that Friday the 13th: The Series doesn't look any better than reruns (the old shot-on-film-and-edited-on-videotape problem), but I have fond childhood memories of it--David Cronenberg directed a few episodes, as it was shot in Toronto (though it seemed to use the same handful of odd-looking Canadian character actors repeatedly, something the X-Files and Millennium would do years later--our actors are perfect for playing serial killers, mutants, monsters, and demonically-cursed loners). It's an import, so it's been expensive on Amazon.ca, so I might pick up a complete series, as well as Tales from the Darkside, at a reasonable price. Like Travis, I highly doubt there will be a new transfer, just repackaging of existing discs.

Is the Monsters DVD set any good? I vaguely remember the show when it aired with TFTD in syndication, but its creatures seemed really cheap looking, even for the late 80s, and I don't remember any plots. Were they often based on short stories?

I am such a sucker for horror anthologies/quasi-anthologies.

I have the 3 volumes but I have not viewed them in years and have not tried them on a 16x9 tv yet .Some reviews say the dvds are worse then tv broadcast . One post said that they looked best when Monster HD aired them on the Voom satellite system ...long gone!

Do you think that CBS will sometime in the future put out a condensed release of Mannix? I mean, they've done it with M:I, The Fugitive, and The Untouchables, among others, so I would imagine that they'd have one of Mannix.

I'm surprised we haven't yet seen a complete set for "The Lucy Show".

The complete series of Perry Mason is coming October 4, 2016: http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Perry-Mason-The-Complete-Series/22513

That's just what I was hoping would happen! That'll afford those fans who want the lot of it at once more of an option instead of just all the individual seasonal volume releases in shrinkwrap.

Make that three

October 11, for those who don't already own the Image version.

There are also reports that a complete Blu set is coming the same day, but no one can quite confirm that outside of some confusing language in a press release.

I definitely would love to see a condensed Mannix set, as well as ones for Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Bonanza.

might have to get that Twilight Zone set...

 

[Randy Korstick]

Hopefully we'll finally be able to get the Twilight Zone blu ray set at a decent price. Its been on my wish list for over 3 years but other than a black Friday sale its always around $200 or more.

 

[Mr. Handley]

Randy, I've also been holding out for a cheaper TZ BD release. I've already bought the series twice over the years!

 

[Flashgear]

I currently have the complete series...seasons 2 and 3 on blu and seasons 1, 4 and 5 on dvd...a convoluted history of availability and sale prices being behind that mixed set...the blu-ray sets are great, and I would prefer having the whole series that way...but the dvd's are beautifully done as well...so, yet another TZ release of a complete blu-ray set would need to be priced right for me to jump on it right away...of course, I continue to monitor the sale prices of the Image blu-ray single season sets I don't have...

I was thrilled to recently get the complete Dick Van Dyke Show blu-ray set for $60 shipped on an Amazon one day sale promo...boy, that's terrific value for the money...one of the all time great home video releases...

As I've said many a time, I have felt (and still will feel) the same way about the lot releases of Barney Miller and The Bob Newhart Show-- plenty in those for what you pay (you get your money's worth, IOW).

nothing about blurays , I wonder why just dvd .

 

[LeoA]

I noticed Wal-Mart has a big Gunsmoke set now with the first 4 seasons or so of the show, much like how many of these complete series released have paired down versions for Wal-mart with a substantial portion of the show's run (Like the Andy Griffith Show release with just the B&W seasons).

 

[Mr. Handley]

So, does anybody have the straight story on the new Twilight Zone releases slated for yesterday (10/11/16)? From what I've read in various places, it appears that just the individual seasons have been re-released on Blu-Ray and the complete series is DVD only???
