OK now that is super awesome 8)

The only downfall is that it's "Season 1 - Volume 1".  I wonder why they couldn't put all 26 episodes in ?

YES! It's about time, too!!!!!  :D :D

I've been watching "Perfect Strangers" on ION, but the episodes are so edited to death they're just not worth recording. Not to mention they show about 20 trillion commercials per episode.  >:(

You're lucky to even be able to see reruns.  On the channels I get, I haven't seen this show probably since it went off the air in '93, which is good because it makes me want to get this even more. 

When 'Benson' S1 came to DVD, I enjoyed it so much, mostly in part because I hadn't seen the show in reruns since the very early 90s, so it was like a bigger blast from hte past than it normally would have been, had I seen reruns all along :)

WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the one I've been waiting for.  I too have been suffering through the chopped up, medicine-commercial filled episodes on ION.  I CANNOT wait for February 8!!!!!

I shall be adding this to my dvd collection as soon as! Love the bright artwork (even if it isn't finalized yet). Not seen this since reruns in the 90s and a couple taped on vhs, so I'm big time looking forward to this.

I wish it would get released right now.  I want it so bad I can taste it.

With another TV set I bought a while back came a bonus Warner Brothers commemorative DVD that had an episode of Perfect Strangers on it, and when I watched it, I was instantly transported back to the 80s when I used to watch this show all the time.  It was great! 8)

I loved Balki's stuffed sheep Dmitri, or the dance of joy, or that one episode where Balki got hypnotized and thought he was Elvis.  The best episode was after Larry and Balki moved into a house with their new brides Jennifer and Mary-Anne, they are in their backyard building a gazebo, and it was filmed in the style of an old Laurel and Hardy picture ;D

Only ONE more week to go!!!  :D


  Love it..!  Nifty extras, too... :)

  Another appearance by Tom Hanks.  He pretty much steals the show.  I'm coming ever closer to picking up Bosom Buddies...

Tom Hanks was great in that episode.  "Drunk" Uncle Ned LOL

I can't wait for the Happy Days season to come out with the episode where Tom Hanks kicked Fonzie's ass ;D

I remember the Laurel and Hardy one, just barely... but my all-time favorite is the one where they're moving the piano down the stairs.  i'm laughing out loud just thinking about it.

I can't wait for Family Ties Season 3, along with Perfect Strangers!  :)

^ I totally can't wait

Also coming in February is season 1 of 'The Equalizer', that show starring that British actor whose name is so much fun to say .. Edward Woodward

I haven't seen The Equalizer since reruns were aired on A&E in the 90s


And now drumroll please ...

'Newhart' may be coming to DVD 8) 8) 8)
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Newhart-Rumors/8352

I was wondering when you were going to mention Newhart - haha. I got the e-mail notification a week or so ago. I just wish they showed reruns so I could re-familiarise myself with it. I know I liked it but it was SOOOOO long ago.

  Yup, on A&E - that's when I watched The Equalizer, too...

  Also Mike Hammer (Stacy Keach...), also Columbo.  A&E was on a roll then...

  Heh, Edward Wooodward, say it really fast..!

I can't wait for Family Ties Season 3, along with Perfect Strangers!  :)


I love the packaging for the Family Ties seasons, and the third season one is great 8)

Season 2 must've had through the roof sales.  I didn't expect Season 3 for quite some time

I just found this picture on-line ...

http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/4784/tcfcs3rg3.jpg

and I got so excited but I can't find any info about it.  From what I knew, Rhino had lost the rights to release more seasons.  Perhaps they released the artwork just before they lost the rights?

If Season 3 is forthcoming, then I am super excited 8)  If it isn't, then I will be super pissed off >:(

For any "Barney Miller" fans here, some great news-

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Barney-Miller-Season-2-Press-Release/8445

Never thought I would see Sony release any additional seasons!

I have "Dukes of Hazzard" Season 5 : The Coy and Vance season.  ;D  It almost ruined my childhood,  but then Bo and Luke came back and made everything in my life right again.

I also have "Three's Company"- the first Jenilee Harrison season.  ;D    This is the season where they restricted Suzanne Sommers to one set by herself , and she only talked on the phone in the show.  She was still in the intro, though,  and Jenilee wasn't!!  :\'(

The dvd's also have an interview with Jenilee.  She has had a nose job and is totally unrecognizable.  It's the "Jennifer Grey" phenomenon.  ;D

Dukes- apparantly the General Lee wasn't the star of the show  ;D
Three's Company- I want to see those "Suzanne's not allowed on set" eps again....

That season is my favourite! Jenilee took some getting used to when I first saw her, but I've grown to love that season the most. So many great episodes... my fave being the one where they think she got kidnapped.  :D

my favorite episode is one with Teri. Jack and Janet think she's dating a bad guy... Jack reads the business card and says his profession is "The rapist"  Teri looks at it and says its therapist!  ;D

  Oh man, Jennilee looks bad.  Like Jack Nicholson's Joker...

  I remember last year TV Land aired this dramatization of the whole Three's Company/Suzanne Sommers thing in the middle of a Three's Company marathon.  It was a two hour feature with other actors playing the parts of Jack, Janet, Crissy, the Ropers &etc...

  It really was very good.  I'd love to have that on DVD.  So c'mon Dog, I know you know where it is!  You're holding-out on me, man..!

  In other news, Anchor Bay needs to release The Ropers on DVD...

Personally- I'm hoping for installments on Roseanne, Facts of Life &  I Love Lucy

I did! I did!  Man some of the stuff that went on behind the scenes was crazy... that's why I want the other films too...especially the Lucy one. So much happened that the audience wasn't aware of (at least in the 50's it would be fun to watch now...) They touched on it  in the lucy/desi bio pic but I want more!

I thought they did a Gilligan's Island one too but that wasn't mentioned on IMDB

Yes I've seen the Gilligan's Island one too - I knew there was one missing.

By the way the Charlie's Angels and Diff'rent Strokes ones are available on ebay (the latter being a bootleg).

I've seen all of these. The casting is phenomenal!!! And who knew all the drama that took place behind camera!


  I have a book about the show, Come and Knock On Our Door, which goes into great detail about the Somers/ABC war.  It's written by Chris Mann who also narrates the commentary for the Three's Company DVDs...

  As popular as her character was and as high as her star rose, Sommers forgets that the star of the show and it's center of gravity was John Ritter, not her, and not Joyce DeWitt...

  The Three's Company Behind the Camera docudrama was supposedly written by Joyce DeWitt...

Here's more exciting news ...

If you want to complete your 'Riptide' collection, Season 3 will hit stores in February 2008, which surprises me as Season 2 just came out last month :o

These releases are by VEI, the same company that distributed 'Gimme A Break', 'Kate and Allie' and 'Hardcastle and McCormick' which means (you guessed it) exclusive Canadian releases.  So far, only Season 1 has been released to the USA, and you know what?  I like the Season 1 artwork for the USA release better than the Canadian one

USA RELEASES

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c362/godeltsihw/Riptide-s1U.jpg

And I just updated the first post to list new releases and forthcoming releases.  It seems like release dates often change, so the forthcoming ones only show that they are coming soon lol

I wish they would release later Night Court seasons. From last I heard they release season 1 and a couple of mixed seasons. I'd really like to see season one of the Charmings though. 


Night Court was first released in a single disc "Favourites" edition that had like 5 episodes from various seasons.  When Season 1 finally came out, it didn't sell well, so WB decided not to release any further seasons :(

I too would love to see The Charmings.  Though it was such a short-lived show, if it did come to DVD, both Season 1 and 2 would be released as "The Complete Series"

Streethawk One of my favorite shows ever but to the general public - A 13 episode flop. I co-run an SH website and through a friend who works at Universal studios got this final reply re: A Dvd release.

Hi Ryan

Well, it took even longer than anticipated to get information; I had to wait to get the attention of the one person who looks after old TV series.

Like everybody else in Hollywood, Universal is driven by the bottom line; and as expected Universal press office say there's no great USA demand for the Streethawk series to be sold on DVD, consequently they don't sell any memorabilia. Had it been produced by an indie company you might have been able to buy a copy of an episode or even the entire series, but as Universal television made it they dictate what happens to it.

The only thing they can offer is selected excerpts for licencing rights - cost negotiable - the kind of thing you'd expect to see on a programme about Streethawk, or documentary on classic US television series. I have no idea what thirty seconds or a minute will cost but it won't be cheap: contact female staff Roni: (USA) 818 777 1273.

Still, at least research proves there's no DVD in sight.

Kind regards

You know, It really is the final nail in the coffin for Streethawk fandom. We have a petition going to get the show on dvd:

Season 1 of 'Matlock' is coming soon.  Honestly, I can hardly wait

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51nKwpc7rRL._AA240_.jpg

I didn't think I would ever see Matlock on DVD. Sounds great!

I truly wish my father was still living because Matlock was one of his favorite shows, and that he can enjoy the DVD's.

My Dad is going to flip.  He'll never watch Fox News again if given that DVD.  I'm sure my Dad is able to enjoy it enough for two people. :)

I just had an interesting observation ... I was watching the S1/S2 set of 'Perfect Strangers' and in one episode, Balki is singing a chorus of Tina Turner's 'What's Love Got to Do With It'.  Suddenly, I was like "I wonder how much the producers had to pay to keep that in there" LOL

Here's others ...

♦ In a S2 episode of 'Family Ties', Elyse sings Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' in a failed attempt to revive her folk music career
♦ In a S1 episode of 'Growing Pains', Mike and Jason sing 'Dancing in the Dark' upon leaving a Springsteen concert
♦ In a S3 episode of 'Gimme A Break', Katie is seen dancing to a muzak version of Michael Sembello's 'Maniac'

I've been wondering about that, too. In another episode of PS, Balki is singing the chorus to "Freeway of Love" by Aretha Franklin. I haven't gone through the entire DVD set yet, but I could swear Balki was also singing the chorus to "Material Girl", only to sing "Material Boy", in another episode.

Just saw a commercial on CBC for the DVD release of the King of Kensington, which was way before my time (the show ended five years before I was even born) but still looks good. I love old shows.

Have you ever tried pawn shops and used CD stores?  They are absolute goldmines for TV on DVD.

At a local place here, the best was when I picked up the 1st 2 seasons of 'Too Close For Comfort' for $14.99 each :o

  I have.  The best ones are in Berkeley.  Big box stores?  Forget it.  I'd spend more $$$ on gas driving there for it to even be worthwhile...

  A few phone calls to these shops usually seals the deal...

Wonder Years hasn't been released on dvd - therefore isn't on there... yet.


I really, really hope this series is released on DVD someday.  :)


Coming soon:  Jake and the Fatman (Season 1, Volume 1)

Yay! I really liked this show!  :)

'Stingray', a short-lived (1985-1987) action series created by Stephen J. Cannell and starring Nick Mancuso arrives on DVD tomorrow 8)

For those who don't remember this show, the plot was similar to that of 'The Equalizer', a man who devotes his time to helping those who are in trouble

This set is released by VEI of Canada, which means it will be a Canadian only release, but I am sure it will be available online to purchase for those of you outside of Canada

There was a short-lived (2 seasons) series called 'Crime Story' starring Dennis Farina.  It's on DVD

  I'm watching The Facts of Life tonight (this morning!  eeek!) and it's pretty darned good, at that.  It's too bad that the other cast members dropped-off the show, especially the beautiful Julie Piekarski.  I think she gave Lisa Whelchel a run for her money...

  Well, except Ms. drama queen, Molly.  She was better in the movies, IMO...

The 2nd season of it seems like a totally different show.  New dorm setting, new cast member (Nancy McKeon) though the others like Julie and Molly did make recurring appearances.  Sometime in a much later season (Season 6 I think it was), they all made a cameo appearance with the exception of Molly, saying she was off following her dream (At the time, she was a big movie star)

Was George Clooney on the Facts Of Life, or am I confusing him with Dweezil Zappa?

George Clooney was indeed on The Facts of Life.  During the later seasons when Mrs. Garrett ran that store in the mall

I'd wish they'd hurry up with releasing the rest of Facts of Life on dvd. I really want to get from Season 4 onwards.

I keep contemplating buying the 3rd season but isn't that whole year a bit "serious" - they dealt with some big issues in season 3. I prefer the more lighthearted later seasons.

Oh and I've been updating my little blog daily - still a bit more to go but almost there.

Season 3 had some good moments.  I am trying to recall if it was S2 or S3 that had the Jermaine Jackson episode

Tootie thought Jermaine personally invited her, only to find out that his reps invite all the heads of the fan clubs.  The part where she cries in Mrs. Garrett's arms nearly had me in tears :\'(

Over Our Heads wasn't in the mall...it was in the same location as Edna's Edibles...it was just a store front along the street...kind of like main street.


I loved season 3 the issue filled eps were my favorites

Fear Strikes Back...where Nat is attacked after leaving a costume party.. my fav episode
Legacy where Blair learns her grandfather had slaves so she wants to act as Tootie's slave  ;D
Runaway Tootie is nearly drafted into prostitution after running off to New York to prove she's old enough to be in the city alone.
New York, New York  where both Blair & Jo learn they have outgrown their old friends...and old lives.


great stuff....it's these episodes that really got us caring about the girls so that even when the show got fluffly later on we still wanted things to work out for them.

I want a new facts of life reunion...that movie sucked.

New York, New York  where both Blair & Jo learn they have outgrown their old friends...and old lives.


Was that the one with Donnelly Rhodes where Jo went to stay at her Uncle's place, and it looked like it was going to be a potential spin-off?  That episode was awesome!

that was an awesome episode I'm pretty sure that one was titled Jo's Cousin. 

New York New York was the one where Blair and Jo spend a weekend with old friends in New York.  Blair's friend is a spoiled brat who is shocked when Blair suggests they  make their own tuna salad..... Jo's friend is a thug who gets in an argument with an old man at the community center... she's also into vandalism but thanks to Mrs G. Jo has learned to think about the consequences of her actions...

square pegs is coming to DVD May 20th




  Can't wait for this one... http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/01/1syellow1.gif

  Listen, I got this whole high school thing psyched-out...

I finally got my copy of 'Stingray - The Complete Series'.  No store had it except Sunrise Records, the most expensive of all the chain stores in Canada.  It was still under $30 which I was surprised about.  5 discs; 23 action packed episodes

http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/2471/2008042178957nt2.jpg

Nick Mancuso stars as a mysterious former government agent known only as Ray.  He travels around in his 1965 Black Stingray, helping people in need, and instead of accepting cash, all he wants in return is for anyone he helps to one day return him a favour.  2 seasons, 1985-1987.  From Stephen J. Cannell, the creative force behind such classic shows like 'The Rockford Files', 'The A-Team', 'Hardcastle and McCormick' and 'Riptide'

Yes...it was always one of my favorites, as well. I always thought that Balki was kinda cute! ;D


After having watched the Season 1 and 2 set, I totally forgot that Larry and Balki worked in that discount store.  I best remember when they worked at the Chicago Chronicle for bitter Mr. Gorpley ;D btw, Ernie Sabella, who plays Mr. Twinkacetti.  Does he look familiar?  Of course he does.  You also may remember him as Mr. Kerose on 'Saved By the Bell' (the season when Zack and the gang got jobs at that malibu beach club)

Now that 'Perfect Strangers' has hit DVD, maybe it's more successful spin-off 'Family Matters' will get a DVD release

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!  :D :D ;D

I'm still hoping Sony will release more seasons of the Facts of Life.....but I got a feeling it might not happen.  :(

So I'm watching Stingray, and in Episode 2, 'Silent Running' by Mike + the Mechanics can be heard.  I was like "Man, I wonder how much it cost the production company to keep that on the DVD" ;D

  Checking out Square Pegs.  Yep, it's an early 80s time capsule alright, complete with a gazillion pop-culture refererences, skinny ties, baggy sweaters, big hair, high-waisted Jordache, Pac Man, New Wave, striped polos, lunchboxes and the usual teen banality of the time...

  The lingo, alone, is a reminder that 1982 was definately another world.  And I barely recognize it...

  The show itself is, IMO, not...that...good... Or maybe it's just me...

Just got my copy of Square Pegs today. At Best Buy, it was on the bottom shelf in the New Releases section and there were only 2 copies available. I'll probably start watching it in the next couple of days.

  Okay, the problem with Square Pegs is that I'm not getting the humor which consists, mostly, of the digs that the characters take at each other.  The humor isn't set-up for you nice and neat and simple, you have to look for it, so I'm just starting to clue-in.  And there's ALOT of contemporary pop culture references used.  And I mean ALOT! - Three Stooges, Monty Python, ordinary TV commercials, music, movies, sports, Reaganomics (there's even a reference to "Ketchup as a Vegetable") &etc.  If you're not familiar with these, you're NOT going to get about 90% of the show...

  It took a couple of viewings and I was in the 8th grade during Square Pegs' brief run, so it's starting to take me back just a little.  Goes to show how much TV has changed (whether for better or worse is up to the viewer).  I noticed that some of the students have covered their school books with the old, tried-and-true paper grocery bag book covers that you had to bring to class and construct, yourself, on the first day of school.  Anyone remember that..?

I did that very briefly in the 7th grade, but they kept falling apart, so I thought, "What's the point?".  ;D

Whistle, you've probably seen this by now, but Kate & Allie season 5 will be out this year! I still need to get round to buying season 3!!!

I knew it was coming, but I hadn't seen the box art yet.  Too cool!  I can hardly wait! 8)

You should get all the seasons.  It really was a great sitcom :) 
In Season 4, there's an episode where Allie falls asleep watching TV and dreams that her and Kate are characters from 'I Love Lucy' and 'Mary Tyler Moore' ;D

  So Marshall is asking Lauren to go with him to a dance and he breaks into the Monty Python "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" routine!  It was unexpected and hilarious!  That kid is pretty dang good with the impressions.  On Square Pegs, that is...

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!  :D :D ;D

I'm still hoping Sony will release more seasons of the Facts of Life.....but I got a feeling it might not happen.  :(


According to Sony, we'll just have to contend with seasons 1, 2, and 3 of "Facts of Life" and seasons 1 and 2 of "Diff'rent Strokes".  Don't know the exact reason, but sony says even though they promised they were going to put the rest of "Facts of Life" and its three movies out on DVD, they ultimately decided to pull the plug on it, so to speak.  One of the more popular theories is because of the success of the newer sitcoms that are currently out on DVD, which all SUCK as far as I'm concerned, and they don't think "Facts" and "Strokes" are all that worthy of the full DVD treatment.  However, it is odd that they would put "Family Ties" and "Kate & Allie" out on DVD.  Well, if these jerks ain't gonna release anymore seasons of "Facts of Life", the least they could do is stop removing episodes from YouTube, or at least put it back on TV!!  I mean..."Frasier" on Lifetime, TELEVISION FOR WOMEN!!!!  WHAT GIVES?!?!?!?! >:( :( BTW...did you know that for the past three years, YouTube has had full episodes of "Frasier", "Seinfeld" AND "Friends" and no one took any of that CRAP off?!?!?!  Interesting...

I asked you somewhere else but just in case you missed it.....how are the extras on Square Pegs?

Oops, sorry about that!  :-[

The extras were OK.....there were interviews with the majority of the original cast (even Steven Peterman), mostly sharing memories of the show. Most of them look pretty good (I didn't realize how skinny Jami Gertz is!). They even shared memories of Merritt Butrick.  :\'(

There are also "mini-sodes" of the Facts of Life and Silver Spoons (basically regular episodes cut up and condensed into 5 minutes) but I haven't watched those yet.

sweet... maybe I'll netflix it when I get through with House....unless I can pick it up cheap.

Updated the main post to include B.L. Stryker, short-lived detective series starring Burt Reynolds, one I totally forgot about.  Season 2 is coming in July

It's an American release, and the one thing I don't get is that Season 1 only ran 5 episodes and Season 2 had 7, so they split it into 2 separate sets?  They did that with the US release of 'Kate and Allie', put the 6 episode Season 1 on one set, and charged an arm and a leg for it :-\\



http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/4195/blstrykers2rb2.jpg

Another Smurfs release is here! I will definitely be getting this. Some great episodes in volume two. And check Vanity on the front cover...  ;D

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Smurfs-Season-1-Volume-2/10066

^ I've been anxiously awaiting that.  I still don't know why they split Season 1 of shows into two separate sets.  I've been waiting painfully for Love Boat Part 2 of Season 1

:-\\can anyone tell me how I can find the segment of BrainGames I really like that segment of that tv show.Is there anyway of me trying to find it on google search? ???Email me at angelgirl33@gmail.com

I just picked up Season 5 of Kate and Allie.  It came out last week, but for some reason, no store had it, then I see it in HMV today.  I was excited to get it, but in a way, I was a little disappointed.

Seasons 1-2, 3 and 4 all came in cardboard boxes with plastic cases inside.  Season 5 comes in a standard sized plastic DVD case with the discs overlapping inside.  I should have expected it though as all VEI releases now come in plastic cases.  Nonetheless, I can hardly wait to watch it.  Emma goes off to college and moves into the dorm, Allie contemplates marriage and Kate gets the chance to be personal assistant to Joe Namath


http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/6858/kateandallies5veiearlyaz1.jpg

I hate inconsistencies in dvd packaging, but at least it's been released. I'm always a season behind on my Kate & Allie purchases. Season 4 is next on my list.  :)

^ Yes, and now that Season 5 is out, all's left is Season 6.  Inlike it's previous season releases, Seasons 4 or 5 do not contain bonus episodes from other shows

And on a related note, VEI has announced plans for Season 3 of 'Gimme A Break!' which I am so excited about.  The Season 2 release had a bonus episode from Season 3, kind of a teaser to keep us tuned for Season 3. 

Warner Bros are hopefully sticking to their word and releasing some great retro cartoon classics. News this morning is that Plastic Man will finally see the light of day on dvd in 2009.

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Plastic-Man-Comedy-Adventure-DVDs-Planned/10762

I just hope the other "Ps"... Pac Man and The Paw Paws get a speedy release too.

For those who need their minds refreshing, here's Plastic Man with Hula and Penny!

Plastic Man was awesome!  I still have my Plastic Man action figure, though his arms broke off long ago :\'(

When you squeeze his legs, his long neck pops up ;D

Not sure if this is mentioned yet, but I wish they'd release beyond season 1 of Growing Pains! ;)  I'm normally not that much into '80s sitcoms (not counting the 1988ish ones which continued into the '90s), but this was always one of my favorites (even if I watched it towards the tail end of its run). It just had that innocent, feeling good vibe to it. Mike was your typical preppy but mildly mischevious 80s teen, but he was a cool kid.

Season 1 didn't sell as Warner Bros. expected, so they discontinued further plans for more Season releases, but I think that will change and here's how I know ...

Warner Bros. also released Season 1 of 'Night Court'.  When it failed to sell to expectations, they said they wouldn't release anymore Seasons.  Well, they caved in and S2 of Night Court will be released in early 2009

So there's hope for more Growing Pains :)

I'm hoping for more Growing Pains DVD sets, too. I'm sorry Season 1 didn't sell so great.  :(

I hope for further seasons they do use new photos of the guys.  Jameson Parker's early 80s hairstyle went out of style as the show went on.  By its last season in 1988, he had a shorter haircut and Gerald McRaney had less hair ;D

^ Season 3 already?  I am still in the middle of watching Season 2 LOL  I am super excited though.  I do believe Season 3 was when Tim "Venus Flytrap" Reid joined the cast

The one thing I loved about Season 2 was the crossover episode with Magnum P.I. and vice versa as the night it originally aired, it was paired with Magnum P.I. as a two part story line.

Simon & Simon getting a 4th season released in April 2010! They also finally changed the photo used for the cover.

And for all you Night time soap fans, don't forget Season 1 of 'Falcon Crest'.  A young Lorenzo Lamas before his 'Renegade' days lol

Mill Creek Entertainment, the company that is re-releasing seasons of 80s shows that are already out there (why are they doing this, why?), is finally putting out stuff that IS NOT on DVD yet.

See Jeff Goldblum before he joined Law and Order; Before he rose to fame in 'The Fly'.  It's the complete series of 'Tenspeed and Brownshoe'

Okay if they are putting this on DVD then they have to start pulling thru with the shows that are actually good and that people would want to spend money on..  ::)

  Ah, there it is!  Just a matter of time.  I think I can make space for it on the shelf...

  True about Mill creek.  They just released the Dungeons & Dragons complete series, last year, after BCI released it only two short years ago.  As I understand, BCI went belly-up and Mill Creek took over the rights.  Mill Creek cut out the extensive extras and the price for the set plummeted twenty bucks.  I purchased the Mill Creek set and I gotta tell you, it's the strangest packaging I seen yet.  It's a combination paper sleeve/Amaray multi disc case.  It's just...weird...

  Muchos gracias for the heads-up, Dog...

Oh man, so it's standard with Mill Creek sets.  They did the same thing with 'Booker' The Complete Series.  I was expecting the regular snap in holders.

Mill Creek is also releasing Season 1 of 'Hunter', Season 1 of '21 Jump Street' and Season 1 of 'The Greatest American Hero', all of which are already ON DVD.  It would be cool if Mill Creek was re-releasing them so they could be on Blu-Ray, but nope, just DVD.

They are also releasing 'Renegade' with Lorenzo Lamas and the short-lived 'Day Break' starring Taye Diggs.

It did go off the air in 1981, so I guess Vega$ counts :D
Remember the 90210 episode where Brandon and Dylan are watching a TV marathon of shows including Vega$ and The Love Boat.  All Aaron Spelling shows

yep.... plus Tori Spelling played Bea's daughter Julie!

Small Wonder - Season 1 came out yesterday.  I'm already half way through it and it brings back great memories of when I watched it as a kid.

I forgot how nosy the Brindles are.  If I had neighbours like that, I'd be calling the police LOL

Seeing Edie McClurg as Mrs. Brindle really makes me long for 'Valerie' to hit DVD.  She'll always be Mrs. Poole

WHOOO HOOOO!!!!

They've done that with a few other shows as well such as SeaQuest DSV (1 season left, where the heck is it?)

It's a great buy, though it has that standard Mill Creek crappy packaging .. the paper sleeves inside a case that looks like a standard double size DVD smap case.

The discs probably come in sleeves, where they would get easily scratched.  I'm glad I got all the seasons 1 by 1

I agree...the remaining two seasons should've long been released by now.  :(

So VEI is releasing the complete series of 'Gimme A Break' on DVD.  The problem with this is that they only released the first 2 seasons on their own, which I already own.  So I basically have to re-buy S1 and S2, just so I can get S3 through S6

Mill Creek Entertainment ... what the hell?

If you've bought one from them, u know about the cheap paper sleeve packaging and how they've been re releasing seasons of shows already out there.

So they put out a 28 disc set of Hunter, the complete series.  All 28 discs in paper sleeves that sit in a jumbo sized plastic case.  The discs don't even fit in the slot in the case, the pictures on each disc (exluding season 7) are all the same, and the guest stars listing on the back has Eric Estrada listed.  That's right, Eric with a "C".

To top it all off, they had previously released s1 and s2 prior.  What they SHOULD have done was start with s4, aka pick up where Anchor Bay left off. 

Now I get to take my Anchor Bay s1-s3 sets and sell them.  No sense in owning the same thing more than once.

Mill Creek needs to stop taking the cheap route AND start releasing shows that ARE NOT already out there.

I just got the complete series of 'Gimme A Break'.  Was a little disapointed that I basically had to re-buy S1 and S2, but the complete 18 disc set was only $45.99 at HMV, which is the average cost of 1 season of a show from today.

I don't know why VEI didn't pick up with S3, but I'm just glad the show is out.  S2 came out in 2006, so i've been waiting over 4 years.

Any photos of the packaging? Complete series packaging always scares me.  8-P

It's common box set packaging ... 3 plastic cases inside a cardboard box.  Overlapping discs.that snap in holders.

The menus are nice.  Episode selection shows a scene from each in a picture frame sitting on a mantle.

1st ep of S3 has Andy Gibb.

Ha ha, yes I'm fully aware of that. I've always wanted the 3rd season for that and of course to get my little nostalgic fix of GAB. Anyway we'll see how it goes, but with international postage etc it ain't cheap.

It was kind of cool.  Him and Nell do a duet of 'Up Where We Belong'

It was surprising as that was a known song, so it probably cost BIG bucks to keep that scene in there.  As well, Andy Gibb fell off the charts in 1981.  In that 1983 episode, he was recording new material, but where was the album that never came?

Shout will be releasing Webster next year on dvd!!! Anyone interested? I'll definitely get the first season. Loved the theme tune and opening sequence.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IME0kUgJ9qM

^ Definately.  I've been waiting on that one.

I listen to 'Then Came You' alot on my TV Themes collection

'Webster' is on DVD and I am loving it.  I'd forgotten how Webster always said Ma'am instead of Katherine. 

Next on my list:

Scarecrow and Mrs. King - Season 2 (out in March)
Vega$ - Season 2, Volume 2 (out in April)
Growing Pains - Season 2 (out in April)

I remembered the ma'am thing it was cute. Also mayiam bialyck was one of websters regular friends. Don't know if she was in season one or came later but I totally remember her and bumper Robinson!

I already preordered Vegas.

Amazon had a sale I got hart to hart seas 1 & 2. Season 1 of police woman and the rookies and season 4 of quantum leap for $8.49 each!

Police Woman.  That's one I keep meaning to get.

More late 70s / early 80s but close enough... the first season of Eight Is Enough is finally coming to dvd on the 17th April 2012!!!
