LIONS GATE ABC TV re-releases
Walmart has a bunch of the Lions gate re-releases on sale for 5.00.
Felicity S1,S2 Dirty Sexy Money S2 Samantha Who S1,S2 I picked up the first 3, but was wondering if they are missing any special features from the original releases. I can't find anything on the packaging to indicate it, but some have stated that they are missing some special features. I know Felicity discs went from 6 discs to 3, some I'm assuming something is missing or they used double-sided discs or possibly just crammed more on each disc. DSM S2 has (according to Amazon) the same number of discs on the LG release and the ABC release. Really interested in any info on Felicity and Money, but anything would be great. |

:(. I wish Lionsgate would re-release Once and Again. One of my favorite late 90s dramas on abc. The DVDs have been out of print for years.

Re: LIONS GATE ABC TV re-releases
I'm not sure if any of them drop extras. I think DSM has pretty much the same discs as the original release. With Felicity, a review on Amazon mentions that season 1 has single-sided discs: 8 episodes on discs 1 & 2 and 6 on disc 3. According to TVShowsonDVD.com, it is supposed to have all the extras from the original release.

Thanks. I thought DSM S2 probably was the same, but I know someone posted that Felicity dropped the extras. I looked at the back of both releases and didn't even see any mention of extras. I was about to return the Felicity's to Walmart because I figured I'd get the original releases sooner or later, but I guess I'll keep them. Didn't think to check TVShowsonDVD.com. Thanks. |
Re: LIONS GATE ABC TV re-releases
I just checked my Felicity Season 1 that I bought at Walmart a month ago (the Lionsgate reissue, natch) and there are NO special features of any kind. Each disc's menu allows you to play all, or go to an episode list. Once you pick an episode, it plays. The end. No options for soundtracks, or subtitles, or deleted scenes, or other shows you may enjoy.
Look up "bare bones" in the dictionary and you'll find this set. |
Re: LIONS GATE ABC TV re-releases
That's a shame. I never tried Felicity, but would if all the special features were there.
I guess it's par for the course for ABC, which I've only lately realized how many of their shows are oop. |

Season 1 & 2 are oop. S3 still hasn't gotten an initial release though. My sympathies. I have those thankfully, though missed the complete Alias and Lost sets (sigh).

I ended up getting a bootleg version of seasons 1 and 2 on a trip to Asia last year. Not ideal, but at least I have some copy of them. I would take a cheap $5 version of the series any day. I know Echobridge is doing cheap re-releases of a lot of old Sony TV shows like TJ Hooker. |
Re: LIONS GATE ABC TV re-releases
Has Lionsgate ever listed tv episodes (not talking about on the dvd menu)?

I know. The season 1 and 2 DVDs were so expensive back when they originally came out that I didn't bother buying them right away hoping they would get discounted. Then they went out of print and the season 3 release was cancelled even though they had the artwork ready.
A particular shame with O&A as that 3rd Season was so good. I had thought for awhile that Dempsey's popularity in Grey's Anatomy might ave helped convince them to release it, but no. I ended up getting a bootleg version of seasons 1 and 2 on a trip to Asia last year. Not ideal, but at least I have some copy of them. I would take a cheap $5 version of the series any day. I know Echobridge is doing cheap re-releases of a lot of old Sony TV shows like TJ Hooker. $5 would be great, but I'd just as equally take expensive sets like they've done with China Beach and Wonder Years. Any chance for physical media while it's still possible. |
