When it comes to televisions with internal DVD players, are there any models that have such players where they will resume a disc where you left off if you have to turn that function off for any reason? The reason I'm asking is because with the one I have now, if it is turned off for any...

Today, Nov. 22, 2023, is three-score years since JFK bought the farm in Dallas, and to remember it, here's the St. Petersburg Times (St. Petersburg, FL) w/the banner headline...

Wasn't sure if you were yet aware of this-- there is apparently a new 2023 version of the Emergency! keepcase all-in-one that has the shell and back cover artwork of the original version that had the individual cases, but also has the keepcase within...

Just happened to learn some sad news from Emergency!: that one Michael Alden Norell of Wallace, ID (who was Capt. Hank Stanley in that NBC medical/action series from Season 2 through the end of the run in 1977) has passed on at 85...

Just noticed now that when I come here, there is a new WordPress setup-- has the site changed for good?

One thing I don't think I've asked here-- if you have separate seasonal releases of a certain series (and you have seen all the episodes from those seasons), and then get the all-in-one of that same series, do you, if there are any unseen seasons within that all-in-one, count the seasons you...

Something I'd like to know about the describing of episodes in a seasonal (or series) DVD release: why do such releases sometimes have episode descriptions that are not exactly reflective of the content of that season's (or series') episodes? Take the sixth go (1976-77) of Emergency! (the final...

Was just browsing EBay on the season releases of Emergency!, and came across what is, to me, a striking difference in the blurbs on the release of the fifth go (1975-76): basically, one printing states "all 24 gripping episodes" (implying that a fifth-season two-part clip show called "The...

What kid of unknown substance is this at the bottom of this tree?

Just heard it that Charles Siebert, who was Dr. Stanley Riverside II on CBS' hit Sunday medical series Trapper John, M.D. from 1979-86, has passed on at 84. https://deadline.com/2022/05/charles-siebert-dead-obituary-actor-trapper-john-m-d-was-84-1235036034/ Also, billing credits...

Based on what Randall (@Flashgear) did under the "Watched on DVD Blu Classic TV" thread in running his local paper of the past for vintage listings and ads and what not, I thought I'd start a similar thread in running one of my local region's papers on Google News for vintage listings and ad...

From Heath at Cereal at Midnight, an insider's view of Mill Creek's all-in-one Blu of O-R 1980-88 Selleck Magnum, P.I.

I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas as to what this plant is.

Been looking at quite a few TV DVD (and a couple of TV Blu) collections on YouTube and elsewhere, and one thing I wonder about them-- why do many of them have all of certain series, despite the negative critical reviews of some seasons of those series (like, for instance, Miami Vice, where some...

Something I'd like to know about the new format here-- why were likes turned into "reactions"?

You probably don't know it by now, but legendary television producer Leonard Goldberg (who made shows like Charlie's Angels, Hart to Hart, and T.J. Hooker alongside equally legendary Aaron Spelling) passed on recently at 85 from complications of a fall (obituary from the L.A. Times)...

In this thread, please post pictures of the menus/interfaces of the DVD releases that you have, such that others who are considering purchases thereto might see what they will be getting as far as menus/interfaces are concerned. I'll start with Riptide: Then, Perry Mason:

With the plethora of shows that have had some form of printed matter about them, what show(s) would you like to have a book or books about? One I'd like one about is Riptide-- I'd like to see how the people at BearManor Media will treat this great (at least I think it is) 1984-86 NBC...

For those of us who have cherry-picked on releases of certain shows on first-time seeing (I myself have done it as well), what was your main motivation to cherry-pick? Was it: a. You don't like the subject matter/plot of a certain upcoming episode in the order (whether the next one or one a...

Don't know whether the title is Spark of Light or A Spark of Light; nonetheless, it'll be a new limited series for SPT based on Jodi Picoult's novel A Spark of Light. Joey King will star in it, and also be one of several EPs, alongside her mother. More...

Something I'm just now wondering about the DVD of The China Syndrome (since I'm considering seeing that 1979 Columbia Pictures film that had Jack Lemmon, Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas): for those who have it, does the film as presented on that release (or maybe even the Blu, which I might get...

What/which series on DVD, in your opinion, is/are so well done that it speaks for itself/they speak for themselves in its/their DVD release(s), even w/few or no bonuses? One for me, as I've stated, is The Streets of San Francisco. The only bonuses on that one were on the first-season...

Hee Haw star Roy Clark has just passed on of pneumonia at the age of 85... https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/roy-clark-dead-country-music-13595813

Saw something quite intriguing at the Wal-Mart in Simpsonville today: apparently Fox is repackaging some of their classic (and current) bestsellers in the CBS condensed all-in-one style. Here are two examples of that: one being MTM, the other being M*A*S*H. The M*A*S*H one should appeal to the...

Was researching the repackaged single-sided seasonals of O-R CBS Dallas on EBay just earlier, and came across listings for replacement discs in the tenth-season (1986-87) release. That interested me, because now we know what the discs in these repackaged seasonals look like. Here's an example...

For those who have two or more series in your collection with one lead character's first name (not cast member's name) among the cast (I myself have several w/Mike: two detective series [The Streets of San Francisco & Mike Hammer, the latter w/the late Darren McGavin in the title role], and one...

Here's an unboxing of WB's condensed all-in-one of The Flintstones (1960-66 ABC cartoon comedy about "the modern Stone Age family"): From what I've seen in here, I think that this Flintstones all-in-one is miles above the one in the faux-rock packaging, despite the flaws shown in this video--...

For those who are wondering, I just thought I'd tell you why I refer to an "OAD" on a specific network, especially when I'm logging what I saw under that thread about what someone saw in classic television on DVD or Blu-Ray: --"OAD" is my abbreviation for "original air date"; each episode of...

It's been a while, and I've forgotten, so I'd like a refresher-- what are all the things you can do on this board to earn trophy points? I know I've done some of them.
