What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought? (3 Viewers)

[Mike Frezon]

And I agree, Susan Saint James is a cutie!

And that voice!

 

[Bob Gu]

And that hairdo! Her 1968 "Chuck" character on, IT TAKES A THIEF.

 

[Doug Wallen]

Star Trek: The Next Generation Complete Seasons 1-7 Bluray Region A/B/C United Kingdom
Cheaper version from Amazon.

 

[John*Wells]

Pre Ordered Perfect Strangers Season 5

 

[Doug Wallen]

Gunsmoke - Season 8-9 all-in-one package from Walmart.

Ever since reading about this set in this thread ages ago, I have been scouring Walmarts from Atlanta to Orlando looking for this. It finally landed in Macon and I picked up one of the two available copies. I sure hope Paramount continues to release the mega sets as they are economical and more budget friendly. The seasons average out to $19.98, the cost of just Season 13 volume 1.

And that football jersey!

I pre-ordered this arriving just in time for my birthday. What a treat. Tom Baker is still my favorite doc, but Peter Davison is a reeeaallly close second. I hope the entire Baker, and Davison runs are completed on Blu-Ray.

 

[The Obsolete Man]

The Goldbergs, Season 5.

I was all ready to give up on this for the time being, since no one had it for under $20 bucks after shipping (and when did the crap shipping at Amazon get jacked up to six bucks?), until I found out that the set is actually stocked in various local Targets for $15.

Who knew brick and mortar stores still stocked new releases?

 

[Likecats]

The Big Valley season 2, and High Chaparral season 1.

Yes, I'm excited for this one as well. Peter Davison was my first Doctor..."The King's Demons" part 2 the first serial I watched properly...followed the next day (via Portland's PBS affiliate) by "The Five Doctors." Davison still remains a sentimental favorite, though my favorite Doctor is Tom Baker (followed closely by Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee).

I just hope this set is relatively problem free. I'm still waiting for word on when we"ll see a corrected Tom Baker Season 12 release to replace the current one.

Target and Walmart can be a real mixed bag, depending on location. I've found lots of good things in Target in previous years, but this past August (during my annual return visit to the States) I found absolutely nothing of interest (classic TV or movie wise, anyway) in two different Target stores in Washington State. However, the Walmart in my parents' hometown (in a mostly rural county) had a decent assortment of vintage TV material, including various Hanna-Barbera repackaged sets, Gunsmoke season 13, vols. 1 and 2, the Dark Shadows 50th Anniversary "Best of" collection, misc. complete series boxsets for shows like The Wild Wild West, Streets of San Francisco, The Untouchables, Laverne & Shirley, etc. It really just depends where you go and on each store's individual stocking strategy. It's still obvious that physical media is on the way out, alas...

I was encouraged to see CBS release a Blu ray set of young Sheldon Season 1.

Leverage seasons 1 and 2. All of the streaming services have taken it off.
Hart of Dixie season 1. I've been enjoying her new show Take Two and I love the witty dialog on this show.
That Girl Season 4. Only one more season to go.

I have it , but haven't watched much of it yet.
What is wrong with the set?

I don't think the issues are terrible or anything, but there are some glitches. The extent to which they might bother you depends on the individual and how much attention he or she pays to this sort of technical hiccup. Here's a brief run-down courtesy of the excellent Roobarb's Forum site in the U.K. (see link below for more info):

*** NEW *** Doctor Who The Collection Season 12 Blu-ray set - numerous issues, including a sound fault on The Sontaran Experiment Part One, and a short section of missing subtitles from Revenge of the Cybermen. Replacement discs were issued for these two stories - see instructions below.

Contact: [email protected]

Thank you for contacting BBC DVD Support.

We will be offering replacements for the errors on Disc 3 (The Sontaran Experiment) and Disc 5 (Revenge of the Cybermen) in the Doctor Who The Collection Season 12 Blu-ray release.

In order to obtain a replacement, please email proof of purchase to this DVD Support line, in the form of a receipt from the retailer. If you do not have a receipt from the retailer, then please email a picture of the product with your full name and postal address in view.

The estimated time frame for the replacement to be available is 4-5 weeks.

Please allow some time for the replacement disc to reach you.

I haven't bought the set yet, and am hesitant to do so until I hear that BBC Worldwide are releasing sets for retail with the above issues corrected (i.e., not requiring me to request replacement discs). That may take a while. Other than these technical glitches, it sounds like a wonderful set.

 

[The Obsolete Man]

Modern Family season 9.

One of the last Fox shows to not go MOD. Better enjoy it while I can.

 

[Ethan Riley]

Scorpion season 4

 

[Doug Wallen]

Pre-ordered two from Amazon:
Doctor Who: Peter Davison Complete First Season (Bluray)
The High Chaparral - Season 2

 

[bmasters9]

The High Chaparral - Season 2

Now that the second go of that 1967-71 NBC Western (1968-69) is due for Dec. 11, what do you think might be the timeframe for the third one (1969-70)?

 

[Doug Wallen]

Maybe April ???

 

[bmasters9]

Maybe April ???

Sounds reasonable!
