    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    After much torturous thought and crunching of number$ (oh, the trauma of it all), I've finally decided to complete my Bonanza series by incrementally buying seasons' 10 to 14, and the remastered season 2...already having seasons' 1 to 9 in the original CBS/P DVD sets, I decided it would be far...

    For All Mankind Season One Blu-ray (10 episodes of the Apple+ 'what if?' SF series on a 4 disc Sony Blu-ray Region A set), seasons' two and three have already been released overseas, presumably to follow here at some point. Price was certainly right on this item when I snagged it.

    A fine used copy of WAC's Tarzan S1V1, (1966-67, Ron Ely series) at a very nice price.

    Jcroy, I fully understand and appreciate your skepticism about the long running show Ancient Aliens.

Of course, it was Robert Blake's TV career star-,making vehicle, in the wake of his then-recent feature film success with Electra Glide in Blue and Busting (both released on great Blus by Kino-Lorber), in which he had pretty much refined his Baretta persona. I'm sure that you...

    After 15 years or more (I think I got S1 for about $50 in 2007), I finally ordered the final season 12 of Hawaii 5-0 (1979-80)...by the time that the complete series set was announced some years ago, I was already too deep into this long lasting show in the original single season sets to justify...

    Thank you Jeff for this info, though the apparently thwarted Blu release of The Baron Euro theatrical films and the episodes they were derived from is not what you (and the rest of us) wanted to hear.

    I agree Glenn, it was a major surprise when Network liberated the Danziger Bros. TV series on disc, even more so when they offered some of them on Blu also. But I was too busy mining Network's back catalogue to finally get around to ordering them as yet...now like other members here, I will have...

    Yes, Scott, that's my understanding too. My Hawaii 5-0 season 10 set is as originally released in 2010 (the same year that CBS/P cheaped out with old transfers for Bonanza S2 and Rawhide S4). While season 10 looks good enough to me, I can see that the PQ is marginally less pleasing than what I...
