Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
That's the main reason I would like to see Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Land of the Giants because of Fox using flipper discs on those previousy released series on dvd.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
Oh man, Cheers is probably my all-time favorite comedy, but I just marathoned it last year so it'll probably be awhile before I want to give it another go. I am glad they are putting it on BD.
Do we know if there were any restoration efforts done or is it just a simple dump of the episodes on disc? If it's the latter I'll probably stick to streaming on it.

You'd have to be a real Bonanza superfan to buy a 112 disc set. This is the sort of thing streaming was made for.

I pre-ordered it a few days ago, I've only seen the first season and always wanted to see the rest and this is the easiest way to get them all. It'll go next to my gunsmoke box set

There's simply no way I would ever have the time to watch a set like Bonanza.
112 discs, 431 episodes at an average length of 50 minutes each. That's 21,550 minutes of shows. That's about 359 hours total.
Plus according to Amazon, that set will weigh 16.8 pounds.

Not that I'm going to order it, but I still have to ask... Why not on Blu-ray?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
Sound logic. "Of the very limited audience that would want to collect a 60-year old TV show on physical media, let's make them buy a complete package of the entire series at once, keeping it to the same low-resolution format they already bought previously, thus forcing them to double-dip on the seasons we already sold them. And then we'll release it on the better format later to see if we can squeeze a triple-dip out of them."

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
^^Thanks, Djariya.
^Josh, it looks like they are also releasing the last 3 seasons as separate packages, but for $50 per season vs $245 for all 14 seasons. I would expect that'll piss people off.
In that case, I'd spring for the new set, anyway. Except I wouldn't, because I'd wait for the Blu-ray set, if there was any possibility of it happening.
After buying the Dick Van Dyke Complete Series on DVD, and then buying it again on Blu-ray, I can't see buying a complete DVD set of that era, again, knowing how good it 'could' be.
