Just ordered Network's out-of-print R2 DVD set of The Sentimental Agent, new, from a 3rd-party seller here in the U.S.
It wasn't cheap (a hair under $60), but also wasn't as nearly as steep as the asking price from 3rd-party sellers on Amazon.uk. Also, no one is currently offering it on eBay. I don't see this getting any cheaper if I were to wait. The fact that there isn't all that much released TV-on-DVD & Blu of interest left that I don't already have, and that there's little chance of this series getting a domestic release (or a re-issue in the U.K.), pretty much sealed the deal.
Having said that, now watch it somehow get a Blu-ray announcement within the next few months. That's how this usually works.
during episode 2 on blu ray 1, 3:28 and 3:30 there's a small popping sound and the sound drops for a micr second then it plays normally. does anybody know if that is normal? prob will have to return. will trying whipping the disc...
Clueless dolt... Even my grandkids know color doesn't "make it better." It's either good or not whether it's in color or BW.
I know they had some black and white appreciation guidance in your family. When my nephew was growing up he loved I Love Lucy. Makes you proud.
IIRC, the only episode of Hogan's Heroes in BW is the pilot with the rest of it being color. Didn't matter at my house. We didn't get a color TV until Christmas 1968. And I got the old BW for my room (I think it was close to 19" - a tall console type. I remember having to adjust the horizontal hold with a knob on the back of the set - vertical hold was on front - and my arms almost weren't long enough to see what I was doing when it needed adjusting).
My dad is a licensed "FCC 1st Class" radio engineer and had a 2-way radio installation/repair business on the side (he worked on those and radio station transmitters). Ours was a Heathkit 19" that he and I put together in his shop. We also put together a Heathkit microwave for mom that same Christmas. It was lots of fun building those kits.
No. When I graduated college I never did anything like that again. My wife always wondered why I didn't "take over" the business (I made great money in HS/college working for him - $7.50-$10/hr in an age when minimum wage was $1.30-$2.30 [1969-1977]) but I'd seen farmers call at all hours (and expect him to drop what he was doing to fix their problem) or come by at lunch on Sunday (he did not work on Sunday - ever) and wanted no part of it. All I've done with computers is "assemble" boards/cases (plug stuff in, configure it, and install the OS).
