I loved the MASH finale, which was like 5 episodes in one. It may seem overindulgent, but after a massive 11 year run and a staple in my house all that time, it was nice to say goodbye at a leisurely pace.
I cried buckets at the end.
It's so funny how people looked at TV shows back then. If The Fugitive ended with "The Shattered Silence" in April and never came back, it potentially would have had a healthy run in syndication. However, "The Judgment" - which was a huge satisfying hit first run - sealed its doom because people...
Considering it was extremely rare to have a "final" episode, taking the time to remove a portion of the end title theme, which probably had announcements over it anyway, would be asking a lot. :D
When my buddies and I do "Gilligan's Island Karaoke" we always drop it.
"So join us here each ____ my friends..."
It's actually strange when I hear the word!
As much as I love the restoration of "Rise and Shine" for the original opening and closing credits, there was such a welcome sense of familiarity when I got to "Meet the Flintstones" in season 3. I just felt myself relax and think "now all is right with the world." The nostalgia kicked in.
Whoop, there it is! I didn't notice it before. It's handwritten and lasts a couple of seconds, but it's there. I would have thought it was scratches or something. Okay, yup, got that one too.
@moviebuff75 I'm kinda wondering why I'm not seeing a lot of the errors you're reporting. This episode, for example, looked perfect. Would there have been an earlier release that got corrected quietly?
Having said that, Kleptomaniac Caper is a great episode. Not the funniest, but I was really...
Funny, I didn't get to "The Big Bank Robbery" until I got my replacement disc, so I never bothered to watch the version without the sound effects. If they do a replacement program for the remaining episodes with issues (hopefully not too many more), I'll go for it. But I was so entertained by...
If this were a series I was passionate about, like Star Trek or Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, I'd be livid over every change and screw up. I totally feel everyone on the frustration. I'd also be annoyed that the Screen Gems logos are missing, but I'm just as happy the "bwang kabong" Hannah...
Yeah this one is really odd. Either they're very low in volume or just missing. The earlier dvd releases were okay?
this episode is hilarious, btw. Everyone is on point.
I didn't see a zoom but the title gets a tiny bit smaller when Fred changes lanes the first time. I mean, a TINY bit, I never would have noticed if I wasn't looking. I checked it against the previous episode and the title doesn't do that, but the picture looks the same. No zooms. Maybe it was...
It did seem slightly wider, like the Lost In Space blus showed the "overscan" area. But the aspect ratio never changed.
I bought the set at Target shortly before Christmas.
Well, the Okuda's didn't prevent the myriad of audio issues with the original series mono sound mix from going uncorrected. Or get the opening and closing themes right from the first batch of episodes.
Even the "experts" get stuff wrong. I'm still cranky about "Penny's scream" from the Lost in...
I remember vaguely the episode where Barney and Betty found Bam Bam on their porch. If I recall, it was a very sweet and heartfelt episode about the Rubbles realllly sad over not having a child of their own. Whatever the issues with t his set, I'm looking forward to getting it and revisiting...
