Yeah nothing is missing from Satisfaction Guaranteed. Its a misprint on the packaging.
Hi Shoeshineboy,shoeshineboy said:Bummer, Amazon.ca tells me that they can't get this -- has anyone else gotten the same bad news?
If its a Canadian amazon issue, i suppose that's one thing; i'd hate to hear that this release is on ice...
Hello from Amazon.ca.
We're sorry to report we won't be able to obtain the following item from your order:
"Night Gallery: Season Three"
Although we'd expected to be able to send this item to you, we've since found it's not available from any of our sources at this time. We realize this is disappointing news to receive, and we apologize for any inconvenience we've caused you.
We must apologize also for the length of time it's taken us to reach this conclusion. Until recently, we'd still hoped to obtain this item for you.
We've cancelled this item from your order.
Hi Richard,Nebiroth said:Although the USA and Canada are both region-1 for DVD they're still separate entities for things like TV and film rights. It's possible there's some issue that is stopping the release in Canada but not in the US.
Another particularly Canadian problem I can think of the Quebec - maybe there's a holdup on the bilingual covers!
In the meantime just order it from Amazon.com
Are there Customs issues between the US and Canada, ie might you have to pay import charges? Certainly this is a problem when ordering stuff from the USA in Europe (or anywhere outside of the EU in fact)
Exactly the same thing seems to have happened to the McCallum Invisible Man set, which was initially for Canada but not the US, then both, now it's US only. At least on the Amazons.
I have complaint register and applaud you doing the same as it something is not right with their synchronization. If you want see a problem then see this linkshoeshineboy said:Thanks Paul!
It does seem ludicrous that amazon.ca is saying the dvd is unavailable before its official release, but lists 2 small retailers that could supply it -- including one from canada!?! Previous purchases from amazon.com were actually shipped from canada but i was told a couple of years ago that amazon was changing that procedure and any purchase would require duty and extra shipping costs. I'd prefer to spend my relatively rare entertainment funds on the dvds and not unnecessary taxes.
I will file an inquiry to amazon about this.
Hi Jack,Jack P said:I can give some details on one story from S1 "Lone Survivor", about a cursed Titanic crewman doomed to be picked up by other liners that will get sunk. Because this clocked at 20 minutes it was actually expanded slightly for syndication, including a scene from the cutting-room floor where the Lusitania captain and doctor speculate on what he is. I also remember a stock shot from the Fox movie "Titanic" of the Titanic going down used to open the segment whereas in the network version the Titanic connection isn't made until the lifeboat is found.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for posting! I just watch the titanic again tonight and really like the episodes, especially the scenes about the lifeboat. The lifeboat for titanic and then lusitania inclusion is amazing!! Rod Serling really likes to play with your subconscious part of your mind!
I like to hear what other people think of th S3 for Night Gallery!
Hi Richard,MattH. said:Mine just arrived today and I haven't had a chance to dive into it. Hoping to have some time tomorrow to check out the episodes again, some of which I haven't seen since their original broadcasts all those decades ago.
