Ron gets some press: USA Today (1 Viewer)

[Michael*K]

Apologize if this was posted on another forum, but I'm reading an article in USA Today (click here to view it) about the Friends DVD release and what do I come across but a quote attributed to Ron. Nice job, dude.
Edit: Okay, I can't resist. If you click on the link in the article for the Friends photo gallery and scroll through a few, you'll see an image where Ross bears more than a passing resemblance to Ron.

....which with more than 27,000 members is the largest Internet DVD discussion group.

I don't think we are that limited in scope. Hardware, HDTV we got it all goin' on here at the HTF!

"...we got it all goin' on here at the HTF!"

Spoken like a true Home Theater Forum patriot, Jasen! We rock!

Like this?

Ron better get his liver checked. He looks a little yellow.

 

[Jon Robertson]

Be afraid...

 

[Dave Falasco]

Jeff, you owe me a new keyboard, since I'm sure this one is ruined by the amount of water I just spit on it after seeing that.
Funniest. Photo. Ever.

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Jon, I saw that one, but it was too easy

 

[Kyle McKnight]

It's all in good fun....here's a side by side comparison...

 

[John Berggren]

Good article. Certainly good by USA Today standards. It's too bad they quoted the URL for TVShowsonDVD.com with spaces... hopefully the general public can mash them together and get to that great site .

 

[Jonathan Perregaux]

I want my Home Theater Forum T-shirt, coffee mug and mouse pad because we do, in fact, rock.
I'm very proud to be counted among our 27,000-strong army of devotees. If we pooled our resources, we could actually topple a small country.

 

[Peter Overduin]

...or buy our own studio

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Congrats Ron! It's always great to see your name in print...and it's a sweet endorsement for this superlative community as well.

Semi-related: I really love this Friends set! This is how all TV shows should be treated on DVD!

Now bring on Season 2 thru 8 (or whatever this season was).

Or maybe stubborn studios who are into the P&S model...

 

[Ronald Epstein]

I feel kind of cheated.
What I wanted to drive home in that article
was the shoddy job Warner Brothers was doing
with their other television product -- especially
South Park.
I had thought the interviewer I talked to
understood the importance of bringing this out.
I don't know what happened to the article as
it was originally supposed to be a much broader
report on TV shows on DVD.

 

[Malcolm R]

Yeah, rather ironic that the latest South Park best-of was listed in the sidebox of "upcoming releases."

 

[Kyle McKnight]

I thought Buffy Season 2 was pushed out of June....

 

[Todd Stout]

The stories that reporters come up with often times seem to be alot different than what was expected. I know this first hand being the son of a local county official. Around here at least, they seem to write the truth as they see fit. I also hear that same opinion from many people including a police officer friend of mine that writes press releases. He says they never come out sounding the same as what he wrote when the story comes out in the newspaper.

 

[Randy B A]

Hi guys i also was interviewed for that article (randy sims from San Diego) and stated my preferance for season sets rather than best-of collections.

I think he did an ok job of stating that season sets are the way to go. with a short article i guess it is hard to get into every part of it.

Ron congrats for the publicity for the forums.
