Pop over to the Kino thread

I did. Great news about What's So Bad About Feeling Good! 2021 is already better than 2020!
(Granted, not a high bar to clear!)

Now for St. Elsewhere and City in Fear -- but I'm a happy clam today!

Now for St. Elsewhere and City in Fear -- but I'm a happy clam today!

Have you tried directly asking VEI or Kino if they would be willing to do a St. Elsewhere complete series dvd (or bluray) set?

Containerization?

it keeps the site in question from tracking you. This way, they can only gather information about you from your activity on their site.

That's what I wanted to know-- that was a new word to me, and I was wondering in what context it was used.

They're just one type of plugin that you can use to keep you safe online. I'm also a fan of Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, and Adblock Plus. I like the concept of LibreJS, but it makes web browsing pretty much impossible because many sites depend on Javascript which is either proprietary or obfuscated.

The privacy.firstparty.isolate option set to true in about:config in Firefox, will do something similar.

Thanks! I guess I can uninstall my containerization extensions now. One thing though, there are a few options like that. Should I just set that one to true or all of them?

I haven't tried them all yet. The master killswitch appears to be privacy.firstparty.isolate

(Offhand I don't know what the specific functions are of the other options in the privacy.firstparty.* hierarchy).

 

[jcroy]

You will have to do more googling and research, if you want to know what the exact functions / behavior are of the other firstparty options in Firefox.

Unfortunately, MTM now swears fealty to the Mouse Emperor. There's no telling when, or even if, there's any chance for any Fox or MTM properties on disc.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Please, this isn’t about Disney being an evil corporate overload. The MTM shows sold poorly for Fox on physical media, and the lack of demand stalled them out long before Disney ever thought about buying Fox. And whether or not it’s fair, Disney didn’t buy Fox to put out releases that were money losers for Fox.

 

[jayembee]

I wasn't trying to paint Disney as an "evil corporate overlord". The fact is that Fox itself was putting less and less effort into releasing TV on DVD (and even less for BD) pre-Disney. And it wasn't just the MTM shows. But at least they were willing to license out some titles to Shout Factory (L.A. Law and Hill Street Blues, to name two).

Disney themselves haven't been doing a lot of physical media releases themselves (Marvel TV shows on disc evaporated, and those stood a good chance of selling, if anything did). And that includes their film catalog, as well. So, yes, they aren't responsible for this situation, but they're not making it any better.

Regardless of what their reasons are for moving away from physical media, good or bad, the fact remains that they are doing so. All I was trying to say is that the probability of any future discs releases for MTM (or Fox proper) shows is approaching zero.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

I agree completely with that. I hope with storage space being exceedingly cheap that it’ll become a no brainer to offer these shows on the digital platforms they already run.

Petticoat Junction 4-7
The Complete My Three Sons-unedited episodes & correct music cues

Timothy:

I'm not sure why Season 6 went out of print. It was originally a MOD DVD-R release from Universal which they then quietly switched to pressed disc release.

Probably true. I guess I have only one choice left, and not having wired broadband (just Verizon Wireless), we all know what that choice is.

And, of course, this happens just after I pulled the trigger to order S6 & S7 & AHH Complete Series from the UK.
