Where is Warner Archive? (1 Viewer)

[Drew Salzan]

How will this affect any replacement programs?

 

[Neil Brock]

They haven't released any pre-1980 shows in quite some time. I don't expect that to change.

Warner and Warner Archives didn't change -- they just changed from Ticketmaster to a different broker.
WbShop had no relationship with the production or fulfillment side at all -- they they took orders

I’m still waiting for delivery from that last 4/$44 sale. No way to check on order status at this point.

I'm in the same boat as my 16 disc order was submitted on March 12th.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your POV, we’re still within the “25 business days” window and the “please allow ten extra business days” follow up that they said it would take to ship. I think we’re all gonna get those packages but it’ll be a little bit longer.

I think it's been more than 5 years since the first season of Mayberry RFD came out so I wouldn't be too optimistic about the rest of the series getting released but it looks like Head Of The Class is getting a reboot on HBOMAX so I'd imagine that they'll keep releasing the rest of the original series.

I don't care about Warner's. Since they have refused to release the last season and a half of Paradise with Lee Horsley and their final 50s series Colt .45 & The Alaskans, none of out 900+ members in our TV Western collectors have bought anything from Warner's. They can go you know where, we will not spend any money on Warner product.

Well, technically they never 'refused to release' those seasons of Paradise. It just hasn't happened yet. And according to one of the most recent podcasts, these final Paradise seasons have had new scans and there was talk about a 2022 DVD release.

And I don't think they've 'refused to release' the other shows you mentioned either.

For those still waiting, someone (BunyipPouch ) on Bluray.com compiled a list of the most common reported titles in orders not yet shipped trying to get a feeling for which items might be holding the line. There are very likely many others, but at least a glance at some fo the Blurays

• Sgt York -- was actually mentioned by WBshop/Warner at hold many up
• The Best Years of Our Lives
• Performance
• Jeremiah Johnson
• The Curse of Frankenstein
• Scarecrow
• Drop Dead Gorgeous

Wow, Doug. In another thread where you said the exact same thing, I told you it was confirmed they are actually working on it, but still you spread your animosity toward them. And for that matter, I don’t care whether you spend any more money at Warner’s, and neither should they. The rest of us will continue to enjoy the wealth of classics coming out, including the new masters of ”Paradise” in the near future.

And when it does ship, you should have it quickly. I had my package within a day or two after the shipping notice arrived in my email.

Yes, I had the same experience. I received my shipment notification on their last day of business, 3.31 with delivery stated as 4.1. On 4.1 I wanted to track my shipment, but was unable to do so because WBShop had been taken down. I received my shipment on 4.1, but believe they should have provided some way/service for customers to track their orders online easily until the last order had been fulfilled. They didn't even provide a customer service e-mail address on the page that came up in place of WBShop.com.

No doubt. After all, last year's liquidation sale at Twilight Time led to their being awash with a tidal wave of orders. And now, this year, it wasn't the end for WAC...but it was the end of their killer 4/44 program. One can only imagine how many orders that last hurrah had produced.

Agreed. I have zero animosities towards Warner and WAC about their selections of what will be released. I continue to hope for "Ryan's Daughter". 5 years later, it still hasn't happened. They have their reasons, they have their schedules and most of all...it is their money and it is their budget. Meanwhile, throughout these past 5 years, WAC has provided literally hundreds of titles of magnificent diversions and delights. Add to that, their restorative efforts have proven to be nothing short of a sumptuous feast for both the eye and the ear.

I think you should be able to use the tracking number in the email to track it with UPS/FedEx/USPS web site. You might have to copy and paste the tracking number rather than just clicking the link, though.

There was no tracking number in the text of the shipment notification email. I just checked it again. The only choice was to click and view the tracking info. Regardless, I received my order and I'm sure everyone else will receive theirs soon.

I just got confirmation that my March 12th order has shipped.

 

[Harold Chasen]

For a month, I had heard nothing about my order of March 14. Then, on Monday (April 12) I got a notice that my order had shipped, complete with tracking information UPS). It was supposed to arrive today (April 14) - and it did!

So, for those still waiting, the orders may be delayed, but they should get to you sooner or later.

 

[JC Riesenbeck]

I'm still waiting on my 4 for $44 order. I've gotten a couple of their emails basicallysaying don't worry be happy. But now I can't even check on it. Well, I am worried now and I'm not happy.

After being an amazing resource, Warner Archive has been a string of frustrations and disappointments. I loved their output, but the website was pricey for DVD-Rs. Then their streaming channel was amazing. I got to watch a ton of shows I never would have blindly purchased and they actually ran Irwin Allen's City Beneath the Sea in 4:6 rather than 16:9 like the DVD. Then, the streaming service was gone. I'm not about to buy Dr. Kildare, but I loved being able to watch it. Now I have to someday buy Harry-O, Jericho and The Girl from UNCLE. This is why I hate that streaming is "the way of the future." Channels come and go. A lot of great streaming channels were dropped form Roku over the last few years. I really miss the Unaired Pilot Channel.

And now you can't follow up on orders from the Website? Uncool.
