Okay, I don't have a DVD player but I'm thinking of getting one. So I always look ath DVD's when I go to a record store or best buy or something. It seems to me that they're putting a lot of cool stuff on DVD, but also a metric ton of crap. I mean, there are intense petitions being signed pleading companies to release such and such on DVD, and all this junk comes out instead.
For instance... do we really need New Zoo Revue, perhaps one of the most disturbing and insipid of all the 1970's Sesame Street ripoffs and wannabees captured for posterity? Seriously, it's the kind of show that home shopping channels put on at 5 am on Saturday mornings so they can keep their FCC licence. No one needs that.
Unpopular noncult sitcoms... i.e. the Steve Harvey show. I like Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, but I felt the show is just fine for something to watch on sy6ndication, but not something anyone would by for 19 bucks...
Anything with Bob Saget in it... There was some film I saqw at the cornr of my eye at Tower records... Father and Son? Something like that. I mean, if anything, we need to have Bob Saget's career erased from existance.
The Man show... never did care for it. It has more like a purchase through Comedycentral.com or 1-800 something number than a box set. Oy vey... boxed sets... another rant...
Syndiacted action shows.... If you didn't tape the episodes of the air for free, why would you want Beastmaster or Andromeda at all? They have them on the air enough.. like 5 times on a Saturday..
Basically, my rant isn't that these shouldn't totally be on DVD (to each there own, I suppose... well except new zoo revue what are they huffing?)... but that if they're on DVD other stuff should..
TMNT original... yeah the new one is leaps and bounds better... but a Sesaon one boxed set would be great. I like both series, and a lot of fans want to see the old turtles right up there with the new ones.
Fraggle Rock... Odd choice you'd think, but seriously debated. They do have one... in French... and there is supposedly one for DVD region 2, but as long as obscure 1980's stuff is popular they should bring this to the US...
Cult sitcoms. I mean, All in the Family, Mash, and the rest are a great start. But we really need season one Happy Days, Mork and Mindy, and of course Seinfeld among others as well.
And certain things should be box sets and not just singular DVD's of 2-3 episodes. I know rights are a huge problem, and that's why they only have 3 eps per DVD... you can fit such and such on a DVD, but because of rights, you have to buy like 5 DVD's for what you could get on one disk. Look at the New Turtles show. You could definately get all 13 episodes from season one on 2 disks, but becasue of rights, 4 seperate disks, episodes are missing...
please discuss...
