The Shield complete series boxset?
Does anyone know if there's plans to release a complete series set for the shield? Will it be released when the seventh season dvd comes out?

Nothing's been announced.
Personally, I think a Complete Series set is very likely. But just watch it end up with all widescreen transfers of the show.

The final episode is just happening, so I imagine they will release the entire season individually and then later on drop the entire series. Never seen the show, but just got my wife to get em Seasons 1 - 6 from Amazon for me for XMas.

I would guess that there will be a complete box set after the seventh season release. I don't think it will be anything special though. The individual sets are put together pretty well with deleted scenes, making of material, and commentaries.

If they do, they better release it in 4:3 ratio, as the last season and the re-releases of the previous seasons from Sony have been in a fubared 16:9, which is not how the show's creator intended.

I would probably pick this up at a discount price. Just got around to watching the last couple of episodes...they were amazing. It was a great and satisfying ending to a great show.

ehhhh. Been keeping up with this series as it was released. The specs listed for the R2 release, dont really make me feel a need to get this set. We will see what the final US specs are.

I understand they re-released seasons 1-6 (or 5?) in widescreen sets, but isn't the OAR 4:3? Why did they put them out in widescreen?

The OAR isn't 4:3 (there's more information in the 16:9 versions) but 4:3 is the way they are meant to be shown. Sony and FX just don't care, because the general public has HDTVs now and they want their programming to fill that big screen up.

Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
I always kind of figured the way something was meant to be shown was the OAR. I mean lots of movies are/were filmed open-matte FS, but that doesn't make 4:3 the OAR if they were intended to be matted when shown, right?

Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
So is there now an OAR and IAR (Intended Aspect Ratio) in the lexicon of the movie world? Or was it always there and I didn't know about it?

Yeah, this is what people mean when they say OAR.

*shrug* Maybe DVD Talk needs to have Shawn Ryan do an interview. They film in 1.78:1, but he has stated that 4:3 is how the show is intended to be viewed.

I still haven't bought the final two seasons because of this.
I may give in for a box set, though.
Tough call...

Just in time for DD's semi-annual sale.
No AR info, though I'm expecting widescreen.

I like the show more than what the OAR is. All in for the complete set!

It's a year-old dynex (samsung guts, but still cheap-o), and I've actually been watching The Shield this weekend. The lines on the screen go away, but it takes a while.

That's image-retention, and not burn-in (retention being temporary, and burn-in being permanent). But you still shouldn't be getting much retention. Do you have your contrast setting turned really high?
#25
Re: The Shield complete series boxset?
Not really. I tweaked the settings, keeping the contrast and brightness on the low end. But I was watching practically a whole season on Saturday, so there was a pretty long exposure time for the TV to "bounce back" from.
