Burke's Law Season 2.

My instinct says that this is a big deal. Disney has been lacking in physical media for a while, and Mill Creek is just the company to fix that. I wonder if we could get the remaining seasons of Agents of SHIELD or the Marvel Netflix shows (all of which were produced by ABC). Of course, if Mill Creek managed to get rights to the Disney+ shows, they'd be celebrated as heroes. (But, of course, if they had, the press release would say so).

Still, this a big deal for physical media.

It's been a while since I've gotten anything from Mill Creek. My recollection was their releases were bare bones, bargin-bin, and the quality was very hit or miss. Have they upped their game?

 

[Bryan^H]

I have no problem with Mill Creek BD. They have been a savior for Ultraman, and a slew of Universal TV titles (Airwolf, Miami Vice, Knight Rider, etc.) And they release discs for very reasonable prices.

The New Perry Mason (1973)

I think this is likely the same package of films and shows that Kino previously had a deal for. The Kino deal ended, and it looks like they’ve re-upped with another distributor.

Just what we have been calling for - open the vaults to 20th Century Fox content - Mill Creek needs now to up their quality and this could open the vaults! Good on Disney!

 

[SWFF]

Well, hot damn!!

 

[uncledougie]

Not counting any chickens yet, but it makes sense if Disney has no interest in bothering with its vast reserve of content, including Fox titles, then they can still monetize their vault titles with a releasing company who will get them distributed. Hoping they up their game accordingly.

I did have a positive customer service experience with Mill Creek a couple years back when one of the discs of my Community Blu-ray set was unplayable, several months after purchasing. I alerted them, they responded quickly and sent me a replacement disc right away. They were also good about the replacement program on the Miami Vice set. So they at least seem to care.

Bryan said exactly what I was going to. Mill Creek's Blu-ray sets are perfectly cromulent. And I use that phrase in hopes of seeing season 21 of The Simpsons.

They certainly have been embiggened by this announcement!

 

[TravisR]

I know there will be people getting their hopes up that some obscure one season drama from 1957 gets released but this is going to be well known shows from maybe the 1970's to 2010's. And there will be a heavy focus on the 2000's.

Fingers crossed for a 24 series set on Blu-ray. And more of The Simpsons.

Drat! Now, I'm going to have to look up what "cromulent" means?

[JamesSmith]

Maybe Garrisons Gorillas, Richard Williams version of A Christmas Carol, and other odds and ends will be considered. Rather than losing to "other sources," Mill Creek can put out official releases of Disney Afternoon sets, and look at the House of Mouse's "B" material.

Well damn. If this means Green Hornet and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea on blu ray, that would be lovely. Mill Creek needs to up their game tho. If they don't go cheap, this would position them to be a leader with a good rep.

Their I Dream Of Jeannie blu rays were a disgrace. I only hope they treat this as the opportunity it is...

I wonder if 12 O'clock High would be coming? It did just land on Prime

 

[Todd Erwin]

So, essentially, Disney is flipping back and forth from Mill Creek to Kino and now back to Mill Creek. Some of the titles that Kino revisited were major improvements, like Deep Rising.

 

[Malcolm R]

Wonder if this will include the big 80's comedies Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune, and Down & Out in Beverly Hills?
