Personally, I don't understand the uproar. For people of my generation, Ghostbusters is something we grew up watching, just as U.N.C.L.E. was for a previous generation. (I'm not saying the two are equals, just trying to put them into context.)
I remember friends of mine and I would watch the show, play with the action figures, even wear the toy backpacks (yes, I had one.) It was a popular show that still has an active fan base...why shouldn't it be on DVD?
I guess my point is, "classic" shouldn't just be limited to something that came before 1980. If you don't want it (and even though I liked Ghostbusters that set is too much for me, both in content and cost), don't buy it...but why mock people who enjoyed it, or belittle people who wouldn't rush out to buy something like Man from U.N.C.L.E.?
Maybe I'm outside the norm - I'm a 24 year old who collects and loves classic TV (the Time-Life Get Smart set was one I plunked down my coin for). I just don't see (a) the cause for alarm, since Time-Life has not indicated they are strictly getting into the cartoon business, and (b) as I mentioned before, if you don't like it, don't buy it.
