What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought? (7 Viewers)

[Jeff Flugel]

I have the first two seasons of Cannon in the two-volume Paramount editions, gifted to me by a kind friend after he received the VEI complete series set...the transfers on those look equivalent to your screengrabs above, Randall. Not great by any means, but perfectly watchable (especially on a 50 inch or smaller TV set), and as you guys mentioned, uncut. Pity Barnaby Jones didn't receive the same treatment. I'd happily put up with Cannon-style video quality to get uncut episodes of that show...

Not exactly a DVD or Blu, but I did take advantage of the current iTunes sale to get something I passed by once and regretted: complete Stargate SG-1 series 1-10 for $50. And no shelf space required!

I'm sure you'll enjoy it, being as it's right at hand whenever you have a hankering!

The Odd Couple (CBS condensed all-in-one of this 1970-75 ABC classic w/Tony Randall and Jack Klugman [known for the classic opening line, "Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?"]); release criticized for not having all original music of the time as well, IIRC...

 

[The Obsolete Man]

Archer seasons 8 and 9 finally came down to decent prices. Especially S9, which is only one disc.

Why is the 9th go on that one only one disc?

Only 8 20ish minute episodes, and I imagine Fox has gotten cheap.

Fox has *always* been "cheap" where physical media is concerned. They used defective DS/DL discs (OK... they weren't the only ones but them and Universal were the worst), putting existing P&S transfers on disc instead of springing for new WS transfers, non-anamorphic WS rather than anamorphic, and charging a premium to boot.

I also criticize it for not having this on any of the episodes...

I thought for sure it would be very much like The Brady Bunch on Paramount logos!

Since they were discounted heavily on Amazon, I went ahead and snagged the Blu-Ray sets of the following (first purchases of 2020):

Doctor Who S12 (Tom Baker S1)
Red Dwarf, Series X

 

[Likecats]

The Pink panther cartoon collection vol 6. series completed, The High Chaparral, the final season. series completed.

 

[The Obsolete Man]

Well, since I'm enjoying Gunsmoke, and am a little over halfway through the first segment of my watch of it (splitting it by eras, because I don't think I can do 20 long seasons in a row, and I do have to give CBS time to release the final three), I figured it would be a good time to buy...


Have Gun, Will Travel complete series.

People recommend it, and hey, 40 bucks for 6 seasons.

It is very much worth it-- it's one of the very best 25-min. dramas of any kind I ever did see!

Breaking my habit of buying the combo sets, I purchased Gunsmoke - Season 16. I really enjoy "Snow Train", soundtrack for that one is memorable.

Masters of Sex: Complete Series (on Blu) [a blind buy]

 

[Doug Wallen]

Hard to believe that Gunsmoke - Season 17 is sold out. Not on the Wal-Mart website, back ordered on Amazon and DeepDiscount. Went to Barnes&Noble and found the last copy on their shelf for 30% off ($34.99). Beginning to think I might never get this season.

Glad to have this. Have also pre-ordered Season 18 and 19. Can't believe this series is almost complete.
