I was scrolling through YouTube about a week or so ago and found a video with a link to Gloria the complete series in HD quality. I was skeptical until I read the reviews on the seller's site. I went ahead and purchased the set and was extremely impressed when it arrived. The set had professional style artwork and menus. The episodes were in perfect quality, uncut and all 21 of the ones produced are included.

I also bought a few other series from the site (all in the same quality) but this review specifically is about Gloria. The link to the set is below.

His collection is kind of small which was surprising since he has something so rare. I may get this since its never in syndication and not on DVD

Now we need Archie Bunkers Place to come out on DVD to complete the fill All in the Family Reality. I just ordered the Complete series of All in the Family

Now we need Archie Bunkers Place to come out on DVD to complete the fill All in the Family Reality. I just ordered the Complete series of All in the Family

I bought the All in the Family set back when it was originally released. It is a great set with tons of great extras.

The store I mentioned also has 704 Hauser Street which was an unsuccessful spin off attempt to the All in the Family realm. I was lucky enough to have that included as a bonus in my purchase.

I bought Sanford, Sanford Arms, What's Happening Now, 704 Hauser Street, Gloria.

I would have purchased Small Wonder but my Antenna TV recordings are already in perfect quality. My recording were also broadcasted before Antenna TV started credit crunching so each episode has the opening and closing credits in tact.

Speaking of Archie Bunker's Place, it was aired uncut on FamilyNet a few years back. Only a handful of episodes were edited and I believe that was the studio's doing, not FamilyNet's.

The 2 parter (originally aired as an hour) Gloria Comes Home episode is edited with both parts running 22 minutes each. I believe the original Gloria pilot also runs a little short (Not a big deal as the original pilot is included unedited with original opening and closing credits on the complete set of All in the Family). The 2 part (originally aired as an hour) Archie's New Partner episode also runs short at 22 minutes each. This episode is also edited on both the Sony and Mill Creek versions of season 1. It appears as an hour on the All in the Family complete set but in actuality it is the syndicated versions back to back. Each episode has an opening and closing credit so it isn't truly an hour long episode.

My All in the family set is on the way. After I get the Sanford Arms DVD I will be getting Gloria, and What's Happening Now. I am so excited to see those 2 new eps of Sanford arms. For years it was only 4 eps

That's awesome. I'm glad to finally own all of the All in the Family related shows with the addition of Gloria (I've had about 7 original run episodes) and 704 Hauser (I've had 704 Hauser but this was an upgrade).

With the addition of Sanford Arms, I now own all the related shows of Sanford and Son. Grady was released a few years back and I've had Sanford (90s BET airings) for years but this most recent set is a major upgrade.

I still hate that the only Grady episode not on the DVD was a Sanford and son crossover:o with Esther, Woody, and Bubba

I agree. When it comes to really rare shows I'll take what I can get. If I only had one episode of Grady and Sanford Arms, I would be perfectly fine with it just because both shows are very hard to find. Missing 1 episode of Grady and 2 of Sanford Arms doesn't bother me too much.

This especially goes for DVD releases. Some shows only have 1 season on DVD and the remainder of those shows may never be released. I'll be happy with one season over nothing. Luckily with syndication most of these shows will appear someplace and we can make our own sets for the remaining seasons.

I just ordered the All's Fair set from there.

I just ordered the All's Fair set from there.

I ordered sanford arms and its still in transit.:( It was shipped last Thursday


The stuff u want the most takes the longest to come

I recently purchased It's A Living from there. The quality is perfect but they are the same edits shown on Antenna TV and Logo minus the time compression and include the ending credits. It's a great set but I'll still hang on to my old recordings for the musical numbers and scenes that have been edited out in recent syndication packages.

I fear that if It's a Living ever gets an official DVD release, these are the episodes that will be included. I doubt the unedited versions exist or cost a fortune due to musical licensing.

Did you ever get your set TVFACTFAN? The seller emailed me last night with a list of new sets coming to the store in the next few months. My Two Dads, Archie Bunker's Place, One in a Million starring Shirley Hemphill and Family are all being added.

I'm specifically excited for My Two Dads, Archie Bunker's Place and One in a Million. Especially One in a Million because I've never seen it and it's never been shown in syndication to my knowledge. My Two Dads and Archie Bunker's Place have popped up in syndication a few times in recent years even though in general they don't get much airtime either.

Purchased last night and Gloria is on the way. He said he expects ABP by the end of August

I don't normally go for bootleg sets like this, but you guys convinced me. Just placed my order for Gloria.

Wonder if they could somehow find Checking In.

I been chatting with him about that too lol

Forever Fernwood would be another good one, but its only season was 130 episodes.

This weekend the seller told me that he will be adding Top of the Heap, Vinnie and Bobby and Living Dolls this weekend. I have all of these shows from original airings but the quality isn't the best.

I only have the first 4 episodes of Living Dolls so it will be nice to see that complete and in great quality.

How are you getting these updates? Newsletter? Because I haven't received any kind of news like this and has sent a total of $120 in the past 4 weeks. lol

Damm I would like some news like this

I got that information via email correspondence. I sent in a request for all of the shows I'd like to see as future offerings on the site. He let me know of additional shows he'll be posting shortly.

Almost all of the shows I requested will be potential offerings on the site. Lots of classics to come.

He just listed Top of the Heap, Vinnie and Bobby and Living Dolls. He's doing a buy 2 get one free sale so I bought two and got the other one as a gift.

The Living Dolls set is missing one episode. He said the studio lost the episode and it has never been recovered. Sort of like the Grady episode missing from the Grady DVD set.

I luckily have the missing episode of Living Dolls from original airings so I'll have the complete series with the combined sources.

My copy of Gloria came today and I am impressed... uncut and great quality, exactly as described. How on earth did he find these? (I probably shouldn't ask, lol).

I think he may have connections with studios and that's why he's able to find these rare shows in such amazing uncut quality. I don't think we'd be able to locate the content he's releasing to DVD on our own.

I've purchased amazing rare shows from many sellers but this one is by far one of the best. The Silver Spoons, Who's The Boss homemade sets from Joker and the recent The Hogan Family set made by ClassicTVChazz are among top contenders as well. Those are as a close to an authentic DVD release you'll find until an actual studio releases them.

Gloria Finally arrived today. That man has made a lot of money off me between Gloria and the other DVD's. I think about $160

I can tell I am making more money because I have never paid that much for DVD';s in the same month

I know the feeling. I have spent more than I care to admit for bootlegs over the past few months. I'm so impressed with these sets that I don't even care than I'm spending more than usual. These sets are better than some studio releases that create sets with edited material and musical substitutions.

I just recently purchased the Scooby and Scrappy Doo collection along with Muddling Through the complete series. Both sets are really good.

My Vinnie and Bobby/Top of The Heap and Living Dolls sets are expected to arrive next week.

So I actually figured out where these came from. The show is available for streaming if you live in Canada.

They have a lot of other Sony shows too, including the Christmas episode of Grady (that's the one that wasn't on DVD, right?)

WHAT??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????///

No these are not from any streaming service. He goes to the studios to find these shows, not streaming sites. There are several shows listed in the store that aren't found anywhere else (TV, streaming,DVD, ECT). It sounds like a coincidence but it isn't. These episodes are not ripped from other places.

It sucks I can't view that missing Grady ep

You know, you may be onto something. I looked at the website and almost all of the shows listed are available on that site. I think he has access to a similar library but I doubt they came directly from the website. Even on the slightest chance they are rips, I say it's all cool because we can't stream Canadian content in the States.

Speaking of Grady, a new set with the missing Christmas episode has been posted to the store.

Im confused by this line right here below


You can not get Episode 3 on the set that was put out years ago. ONLY HERE AT MANTRONIX RETRO TV!!!!

Grady is an American sitcom and a spin-off of Sanford and Son that aired on NBC from December 4, 1975 to March 11, 1976. Whitman Mayo reprises his role as Fred Sanford's widower friend Grady, who leaves Watts to move in with his daughter and her family in Westwood.



So is all the eps on the set? if so I can buy it tonight

Yes, all episodes are included. I just got an email confirmation from the seller. He said this set has the Christmas episode missing from the previous set.

I went ahead and ordered it just a few minutes ago. That's the only episode I've been trying to see for years now.

Mantronix's DVD's don't have the CTV logo on them, so you're right in that they probably don't come directly from that site. He might be getting them from the same place CTV is though.

My Two Dads goes up in about 2 weeks to the store according to the seller. Archie Bunker's Place and One in a Million will follow shortly afterwards.

I just got Living Dolls, Top of the Heap/Vinnie and Bobby. They are all great sets. So glad to have them all completed on DVD. I have an original airing of the missing Living Dolls episode in this set so I have the show completed in my collection.

My set was shipped off today. I should expect it by this time next week. Considering how slow the post office is I may get it in the next decade.

Mines too and it should be here before the month is over. Definitely not this week Im guessing the end of next week

I just want to thank you again for helping me see the eps I thought I would never see in my lifetime. You alone have made sitcomsonline my #1 website of all time and no other website will ever be better.:wave:

Thanks TVFactFan. You all have been a blast to communicate with. That Grady episode has been missing for several years and everyone had pretty much given up the hope of ever finding it. I'm so glad it finally appeared after all these years. I'm also happy that Mantronix was able to make a truly complete DVD set with the missing episode

Fingers crossed on the final 2 episodes of Sanford Arms appearing at some point so that it can be complete in our collections. It is airing in Canada at the moment so I'm checking to see if those missing will episodes air.

Sanford Arms is airing in Canada? Yes now I can toss the Grady set that I have that is incomplete. I can't tell you how pissed I was when the one ep that was missing was the crossover ep with Esther, Woody and Bubba. I would not have cared if any of the other eps was missing but you have to include the 3 crossovers

Sanford Arms airs on CHCH-DT in Canada. I think they may only have the 6 of 8 episodes airing as well. The final 2 may be lost or in too bad of shape to remaster for broadcasting. I have a friend in Canada keeping an eye out to see if those episode eventually air so he can record them.

Apparently Canada considers Sanford Arms the seventh season of Sanford & Son, so that's pretty cool.

That's odd since it's too short-lived.

Canadian stations seem to air most of their programming uncut. I wonder if all the programming on CHCH is airing uncut. Comedy Gold/Dejaview aired all of their programming uncut.

I have Who's the Boss, Joanie Loves Chachi, Petticoat Junction, One Day at a Time, and Growing Pains all uncut from Canadian broadcasts.

My Grady set arrived in my city today. If I get it by this weekend, I'll be so excited. I'm going to watch the missing episode as soon as it arrives.

I can throw the other set out in the trash lol It really feels like a dream. It was a time that the only Grady ep available was the one when he went to driving school that was aired by TV Land in summer of 2002

The seller just released the newsletter with the dates for the upcoming releases.

Look forward to My Two Dads, Archie Bunker's Place and Family within the next few months.

I'm especially looking forward to My Two Dads since I have never seen the uncut versions of season 3. I made a set from UPTV when it debuted on the network several years ago but those episodes were seriously edited down.

I'm too excited. I'm ordering each item as it becomes available.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Also congrats on getting the set. Mine is expected to come on Monday. It's in my city but is taking forever to get to my location.

Soon as I heard the mail lady I ran down the hall:lol: I dont plan to watch until tomorrow

Thanks, I appreciate it. Also congrats on getting the set. Mine is expected to come on Monday. It's in my city but is taking forever to get to my location.

Just finished watching the Grady episode with Esther, Bubba and Woody. And lets just see it was definitely the best episode of the series. Lots of physical comedy and unexpected moments. It's one unexpected moment in this episode that you will enjoy a lot and its totally unexpected and funny. Its also something disappointing about the episode but that may only be to me. It has nothing to do with the quality of the episode just something to do with the storyline. So I, not going to spoil anything.

One scary moment for me was the episode was skipping and freezing and then completely stopped. Then I put the DVD in another laptop and the episode ran all the way through without any problems:). I was definitely going to cry if that was the case on both laptops:lol:

My set is expected today so I'm excited. For a skipping disc trying cleaning the back just in case it's a little dirty. If you have a burner I'd also try copying it to another disc. I do that with all my sets that have playback issues.

I use a laptop not a DVD player and I think it may have been that particular set because that is the only time that I had that issue with skipping when watching a DVD from him. But luckily I had a backup laptop

Mine just came in the mail. I think the missing episode came from the same source that CTV Throwback uses. That particular episode ends with a Sony International logo while the rest end with the standard Sony logo used in the States.

Well after u watch it we can discuss it and I want to see if we both feels the same way about the appearance of the sanford and son crew

I'll probably watch it tomorrow after work. As always I review the seller's sets on the Mantronix site so I'll watch everything at some point as well. I just finished reviewing the last few sets I purchased.

I specifically like how the new Grady set has an actual menu with an image of Grady. The previous set had a generic image as if they didn't care about the product they were releasing. They also charged almost 40 bucks for just 9 episodes of the series.

That was the worst DVD release of all time:lol:

Did they have a sale of some kind? How did you guys get a free bonus set?

If you buy 2 DVD at the same time you get one for free

I have mixed feelings about episode 3. I was happy to see members of the cast of Sanford and Son on there but Grady's drinking had me worried. The bar scene was funny and awkward at the same time. Grady has always been kinda silly and crazy but that episode showed another side to him.

I also noticed that this was the first set I've gotten from the store truly presented in HD. There are black bars on the sides that haven't been present in other sets. Not a big deal but I tend to avoid most networks these days because I prefer my classics in full screen. Still an amazing set

Angie, where did you find your Hogan Family set btw? I sent you a PM about it.

I was also disappointed that Grady was never in the same scene as Esther, woody and Bubba. It defeated the purpose of the crossover

The scene with the Sanford and Son gang was nevertheless still very funny. I couldn't stop laughing when Ester's wig fell off and the gentleman kept trying to put it back on. Budda was kind of bold in this episode because he came after Ester in a style that Fred was know for. I don't know what Woody thought he was going to do by confronting Bubba but that scene was hilarious.

Yeah it was funny but I still thought Grady would be around them. I should have figured it out when they posted screen shots on the DVD and esther wasnt in no scenes with Grady. lol


And I liked how woody called Bubba him BOOOBA:lol:

LOL. I kinda wish that these characters appeared more often. They were actually more entertaining than the cast of Grady. I liked the show but it wasn't nearly as good as Sanford and Son.

Sanford Arms and Sanford also didn't really catch on either. Neither of these shows had the magic that Sanford and Son captured. I'm shocked that Sandord made it 2 seasons because Fred and Cal were not as good together as Fred and Lamont.

I'm just happy to own every show in the Sanford and Son universe. There are still 2 missing episodes of Sanford Arms that may never be found but at least everything else is present and accounted for.

Yes it would be nice to see those but the face that we seen the missing xmas episode and the two unaired eps of Sanford Arms. So I am truly satisfied. If those other 2 show up then it would be a beautiful thing

I like Cal more because Fred jokes were funnier because he was really fat. Lamont never came off to me as a dummy so I never really laughed at those jokes

I also noticed how the Christmas ep had a christmas closing theme instead of the normal closing theme

Yesterday I found another site called Rewatch Classics that has a lot of the same shows that Mantronix has in their stores. I'm going to check out their reviews and do some research on them if I decide to place a purchase on that site. I don't trust most online sellers because there are so many scams going on these days.

I liked iOffer when it was around but there were also several scammers on the site. That and the several copyright claims they were hit with caused them to cease operations last year.

Based on your review Angie, I placed an order with that seller for GLORIA and some 1970s cartoons I've been wanting for a long time. I just ordered yesterday and already I have received a "Shipped" notification. I am in Canada so hopefully they don't take too long to clear Customs. I will post some screen captures once they arrive.

I really miss i-Offer and Sell.com. I was able to get some great sets from those sites in the past, like the complete My Three Sons, The Ropers, Three's a Crowd, The 5 Mrs. Buchanans and others I am likely forgetting. I still had more on my Want List before they shut them down.

You won't be disappointed. The set is amazing. Since you're in Canada you can also watch this series along with a bunch of other classics on CTV Throwback. They have the entire series of a lot of classic sitcoms.

Havent got to Gloria yet. I think I will just hold it and buy ABP so I can watch those two together

ABP gets listed next month and My Two Dads gets listed tomorrow. So excited for both shows.

The seller will be adding the entire series of Fish in the coming months. That's another one I've been waiting for. I have been wanting to see season 2 since season 1 was released as a bonus with Barney Miller's complete set.

I thought Fish was already on there.

He just has season 1 listed, not season 2.

CTV Throwback definitely has all the classics I wish I could see. I hope at some point they make the streaming available nationally. So many of those shows haven't been seen in years.

He just has season 1 listed, not season 2.

Oh ok i thought the show only had 1 season77-78

Seller just posted My Two Dads and Fish. I recently got ahold of season 3 of My Two Dads from original airings as well. I'm excited.

I also got ahold of You Again, which was the 1980s series with John Stamos and Jack Klugman. It wasn't a major hit but I liked the two main stars. It's only missing 3 episodes so the set's still a winner for me.

Just looked at the cover of the DVD for All's Fair and noticed right away that was the girl Mike Stivic was tutoring at her house:lol:

Bernadette Peters was a huge star back then. To get her on the show, they had to have some big pockets. Norman Lear also created All's Fair so you can say both these shows were All in the Lear Family.

she played the hell out of that part on All in the family so im not surprised

Seller just posted My Two Dads and Fish.

I just ordered the Fish set. I watched the entire first season on YouTube a few years back, but I haven't seen any of season two since it was in syndication back in the 90s.

I've been watching My Two Dads on Crackle lately.

I ordered the All's Fair set a while back. So far I've only watched the first disc and I've had some minor playback issues on my DVD player, but it works fine on my desktop.

I'm just happy to see all these shows get DVD releases even if they are unofficial. Studios passed up on some great sitcoms because the demand is very strong for several shows not already on DVD.

Im curious to know if Gloria is the highest rated sitcom to ever be cancelled

Im curious to know if Gloria is the highest rated sitcom to ever be cancelled

I'll have to look into that. If the show had high ratings but was cancelled there could have been several reasons why. First reason could have been the cost of producing the show. The second reason could be that Sally Struthers got tired of playing the character or wanted more money before she signed on to do a new season. I know Carroll O'Connor was pretty much left out of all creative decisions regarding the show. He wanted more input and they said no. For that reason he only appeared in the original pilot and never returned. He was mentioned a few times but never made any additional appearances.

He pretty much washed his hands of the series and focused only on Archie Bunker's Place until it ended.

Found out some bad news about Archie Bunkers Place set last night. Its 1 episode from season 2 missing from the set. So I wont be buying it. If it was edited then I would still get it but not to have it on there at all is something that I cant buy

I'm still purchasing the set. I'm going to see if the seller will let me send my version recorded off TV to him. Mine was recorded off FamilyNet and is in perfect quality and is also unedited to my knowledge. FamilyNet only aired a few edited episodes but this wasn't one of them.

Well in your case you have that episode in your possession which makes the set complete. I would have a incomplete set

I am currently working with the seller to get that episode added to his Archie Bunker's Place set. That episode will indeed be part of his set. The episode I have runs almost 25 minutes long so it's definitely unedited.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wave::wave:

Just checking in, but if you buy two shows you guys say you get a third one free right? Does it come off automatically or do you guys get a coupon of some kind? Plan on getting ABP, Gloria and Sanford all at once if that’s possible.

I think he gives a short-lived show for free. So if you bought Gloria and ABP, u might not get Sanford but I could be wrong

Hmm I’ll find out soon I guess.

Hmm I’ll find out soon I guess.

I bought Gloria and What's Happening now and got 704 Hauser street for free

I emailed the seller, told him I was interested in 3 sets and I asked for a coupon. He gave me a code and I applied that to the checkout when I ordered. Everything arrived within days (I am in Canada and there were some Customs charges) well-packed with a free bonus. The sets are nicely packaged with computer-generated cover art and the discs are stacked inside. I haven't had a chance to watch a whole lot yet but from what I've seen the quality is great. I would recommend getting them.

I am waiting for Archie Bunkers Place to appear on his site so I can watch it along with Gloria

I havent looked at Gloria yet but I am guessing I will have the same issue I had with What's Happening Now. Since the DVD's are stacked on top of each other like a stack of pancakes, any episode I tried to watch was skipping and freezing. I didnt have that issue with Sanford Arms because it was only 6 eps and the DVD was in different sections. Not sure why he would package DVD's like that on top of each other. Why not separate them? Well I probably made my last purchase from him if ABP is packaged the same way

What type of DVD device do you use to watch DVD;s? Maybe the laptop is only for commercial releases. So I want to try and purchase another DVD player

I don't particularly like stacked DVDs either but it's not a big deal to me. I haven't had too many issues with discs. I only had one issue with a disc but was able to clean it off and the disc played properly. I even backed it up to another disc just incase.

I am not a stickler because these shows aren't really being released elsewhere. I can't stand the way Mill Creek releases their DVDs but for the price they charge I can make my own storage for the discs which allows for a longer lifespan in my collection.

Sony is known for the dreaded jumbo DVDs boxes which houses 20 plus discs in a cheap flimsy case. That's one of the worst offenses to TV on DVD collection. Sony also used to release complete sets with discs stacked on top of each other with a piece of cardboard holding them in place. That was another pet peeve.

However the price was unbeatable so I couldn't really complain. I just placed the discs in different storage cases.

In terms of great packaging I think Shout Factory and MPI do it the best. They release great sets with no stacked discs or cheap cases.

With both companies, they release multiple shows with each disc having it's own holder rather than overlapping another or being stacked.

Time Life did good with Mama's Family but the boxed set was far too big to effectively store on a shelf. They could have done something similar to a Shout Factory release and saved so much time and energy producing that set. I'm not complaining though. It was one of the best releases of 2013.

The Dick Van Dyke original complete series set was another interesting release because it was a gigantic box with several slim cases holding a disc from each season. It's not really shelf friendly but at least you can access each disc without having to touch another one.

Thanks. I bookmarked the page and will go there on the 2nd. I assume these episodes are recorded off the tv? I'm hoping they are because they usually catch the Closed Captions that are embedded in the show and will be able to display when playing the dvds.

Since Antenna TV left my city, I don't get to see ABP anymore and miss it so i'd love to have the whole series.

I dont plan to look at Gloria until I watch ABP since both shows are connected. But that ABP is their most expensive set lol $60

It had been posted!

Yes! I bought it as well as 704 Houser st and All's Fair today. Working on getting all the Lear shows I dearly loved growing up. (Although I do not really remember watching 704 Houser, I really like Maura Tierney)
I was able to use the code the seller gave me when I emailed them for the 3 sets. I was really impressed with the quality of their "Gloria" set a couple of months ago! Cannot wait to get these. Anyone else get ABP today?

I'd love to get ABP since Antenna TV left my city and I can't watch it anymore. :(

When your set comes in and you play it, can you check and see if any Closed Captions display when you activate the CC button on your TV remote? I'd really appreciate it! :):wave:

This set like others will not have CC. I'm holding off for a little since I have a pretty good set from FamilyNet when it aired there. They were primarily uncut so I'm not missing too much.

The reason it is more expensive because it is one of the biggest sets he has made so far. I believe it is 15 discs

This set like others will not have CC. I'm holding off for a little since I have a pretty good set from FamilyNet when it aired there. They were primarily uncut so I'm not missing too much.

Aw that sucks. :(

I ordered a couple of TV series in the past from people who recorded the shows off television airings and the CC from the airings copied onto the dvd. I figured ABP would be the same.

Oh well....i'll just have to wait for the studio to put out an official complete series....but I won't hold my breath on that.

yeah I agree, too bad about the CC, i like that too, I am very hard of hearing. I didn't think it would, but its ok for me right now, I will use headphones. I just wanted a nice set with a clear picture. All I have is a set I bought a while back from another seller that was not very clear and missing episodes. I don't have antenna Tv right now either. I miss that station very much. I always wanted All In The Family to have CC but its only on the first two seasons of the official box set. Anyway, I'll post when I get these. I love this forum and appreciate all the news and updates and discussing these great shows :D

Wow, the AITF Complete Series only has 2 seasons CC?! I was thinking of getting that to replace all the separate season dvds that I have and now i'm glad that I didn't!!

I have all the separate season releases which have CC so i'll just stick with that. I'm hoping one day CBS will release a total box set with AITF, ABP & Gloria all together in one big set. I would so love that!

I just found out Crackle has seasons 1 & 2 of ABP so until then, i'll make do with those for my fix. And they're all CC too.

These are not recorded from TV airings and where they were captured from does not contain a closed caption option. My set from FamilyNet, where I recorded each episode directly to DVD (no downloads or file transfers) has closed captions since FamilyNet enabled the closed caption algorithm on their programming.

I plan to get it before the month is over.

So, all the separate seasons of All In The Family have CC? I would be interested in buying those if they did. My box set is from Shout Factory, who made the ones with CC that you have? Only season one abd two have CC in the box set by shout factory. I have read reviews that also the box set that is only seasons 1-5, that only season 1-2 are CC. I am really wanting every season with CC if I can find it.
Yes, i watch crackle a lot and I know also the channel get tv is showing AITF
and they have closed captioning. Anyway, I hope you can tell me where you got all the seasons of AITF with CC at. Thank you. PS one thing about the Shout Factory Box set that I like is all the Bonus features so I guess it has worked out for me that way. I am very happy with it actually and I also got a good price on it, so all is good. but please tell me where/ what company made seasons 3-9 with CC. Thanks.

Here's a list of the seasons I have by studio as shown on the back of each box--
All have CC on them, and i've played these out so much and they always play perfect.

Season 1---Sony
Season 2---Sony
Season 3---Sony
Season 4---Sony
Season 5---Sony
Season 6---Sony
Season 7---Sony & SHOUT (Both studios are listed on back of box)
Season 8---I bought this season online from IOffer before the site went away. Someone was selling ripped dvd seasons of the show for a fraction of the price sold new and they all came with CC. But I don't know what the studio this season was from since they're just ripped dvd-r's. It plays perfectly though.
Season 9---Sony & SHOUT again.

It's odd that SHOUT is listed only on the last few seasons. Perhaps I bought the Sony ones before Shout bought the rights to the series? In any case, if you want all CC seasons look for the Sony ones.

I suggest going to Ebay because most times the seller takes pictures of the back of the box where you can see the CC logo as well as which studio it's from before you buy.
If it's Sony on the back, you're good with the CC. Every separate season from 1-9 I have are all CC. :wave:

I will stay far away from the box set now. It's a shame they only CC the first 2 seasons. It makes no sense to do that! :confused:

Here are the back box images of all my seasons. Hope they're clear enough and you can zoom in to see they all have the CC logo on them. Eighth is missing since they were dvd-r's, but that season is captioned!

And here's season's 1 & 2 :wave:

Thank you so much! You have been a Godsend. I found them and bought them on ebay and can't wait to get them. Thank you for going to all the trouble and also for the pictures, that helped a lot!!!

Thank you so much! You have been a Godsend. I found them and bought them on ebay and can't wait to get them. Thank you for going to all the trouble and also for the pictures, that helped a lot!!!

I'm glad to help! I bought most of mine off Ebay as well and they all play great. Most of my copies are used and one is even an ex library copy but I haven't had issues with any of them and i've played them out so much already.

If I ever wear these out, i'll buy the same ones again unless they ever come out with a total CC package set.

what is CC?

what is CC?

Closed Captions. "CC" is what displays on the back of the dvd box to alert viewers who need them that it's available.

Ok gotcha

Sorry, yes Closed captioning. Never in my life would I think I would need that for a TV show, but it is a great option. But I am 60 now so... I am supposed to be wearing hearing aids but haven't gotten them yet.

Season 8---I bought this season online from IOffer before the site went away.


I really miss ioffer. I buy from sell.com sometimes.

I really miss ioffer. I buy from sell.com sometimes.

ioffer was great and I mess it too. Now I recall how I got the season 8 of All in the Family from there. I bought the complete series of Taxi (all came with CC) and the seller was kind enough to throw in the season 8 of AITF for free when I bought Taxi.

I looked at sell.com and I already found a dvd seller there who used to sell on ioffer, and bookmarked the site.

I got my shipment in, watching ABP 1st. the two hour long episodes (Archie’s New Partner, Archie Alone) are the syndicated cuts. The Archie Alone episode has even less than TV Lands cuts from the early 2000s.

They should be the same versions that was on the DVD release since that was the only season out on DVD

Archie’s New Partner is the same cut I believe, but the Archie Alone cuts are butchered. I’m sure that’s probably the best that was in the vault but still a little bummed about it. Despite that they’re great sets so far.

Are the episodes in full screen or do they have the black bars on the sides?

The ones I saw so far have the black bars I believe, I’ll double check it here in a few.

Sorry I forgot to reply again, yes it’s standard definition with black bars on the sides.

That's weird about "Archie Alone" considering the full hour version is on Crackle: https://www.crackle.com/watch/2997/2499728

well his price needs to come down since that is the case

I have to agree, even the TV Land edit from the early 2000s wasn’t as botched. Not sure where that master came from but they took scissors to it.

Since "Archie Bunker's Place" and Mantronix Retro TV were both mentioned, I'd like to add my personal experience with this site from just three days ago:

Never heard about it before, yet was glad to order some classics which aren't available in any other form, and so I did with "Archie Bunker's Place - complete studio recordings" - recieved a link and finished downloading all seasons.

Imagine my surprise as I've noticed it has the "film" look and not the "videotape" one (can't think of the proper technical term at the moment) and e-mailed the site for answers.

The response I've got contained the following: "Maybe you can contact Sony and tell them you dont like the way their original prints look?" and "For 50 dollars i think you would realize what a rare treasure you have."

While I agree it's rare indeed, it is also quite the rude way to answer a client.

I made a decision not to buy it because season 1 is edited and was already released on DVD:lol:

You complained about the videos being presented in 4x3 PB which is the original prints from Sony. You said you were disappointed and wanted them in Full stretched VHS format. And were waiting for me to do something about it. I informed you of the fact that I only distribute them the way Sony has them. I also mentioned that you were welcome to ask Sony why they are not presented the way you want them. What is so rude about that? Did you want me to ask them for you? These are super rare shows that arent available to the public presented in great audio and video quality. Which is pretty awesome in my opinion. Sorry if you took my reply as rude. it was not intended to be.

It was mentioned in this form a few times that the episodes are presented in Standard Definition with the black bars on the side. If you found out about my site from this form, like you mention, than you would of obviously seen this information mentioned a few times.

I doubt anyone on this form will agree with you in your comment about me being rude. I help all my customers and go above and beyond to make sure they are happy to the best of my ability.

I offer discounted prices, free gifts, and coupon codes to everyone.

Changing the format of the videos that are from the studio are not one of my abilities. These shows are presented in perfect audio and video viewing.

Hey Buddy,

Hows that DVD Player working out for ya? Sorry you aren't happy with the $69.99 price for ABP. Its a monster 4 season/17 disc set.

Its funny how you were super happy with paying $35 for Gloria. Gloria is a 1 season/4 disc set.

Just look at the comparison and think about the pricing. Just saying.

PS.....The collection on my site has 5 edited episodes out of 97. Only one is from season one. So, the remaining three seasons only have four. The archie alone two part and the Gloria comes home two part. All the other 92 episodes are the unedited versions.

This is what Sony has available.

Take care.

The Archie Alone episodes aired uncut on FamilyNet. It didn't air as an hourlong episode but each part ran 24 minutes or so long. I've been holding off on this set because my FamilyNet set is really good and primarily uncut. He has Free Spirit as well but I have the series from original airings. The quality isn't as good but I can't spend almost 30 dollars for a short lived show that wasn't really that amazing to begin with. I spent half that for the set I have now.

30? On the site it says its $69.99:lol:

I was referring to the show Free Spirit, which is another sitcom on the site. $30 is a steal for Archie Bunker's Place but the price currently listed isn't making me want to purchase it any time soon. If this set were to be released by Shout Factory or some other company and every episode is completely uncut then I would consider spending 70 dollars.

Only thing I am paying 70 or more for is complete Unedited set of

Chico and the man
Roc

Everyone here is just stating their opinions. Nothing personal. We appreciate your site. We are just engaging in conversation. Sorry about the rude remark though, you are far from rude and definitely go above and beyond to help your customers.

As far as they black bars, we can live with it. That's a preference. Since I have a few of the sets listed from either personal recordings or trades/purchases, I'm just making comparisons on pricing. Your pricing isn't bad though.

Since I have many of these sets I'm simply holding off but I do plan to purchase from your store in the future.

The DVD player was the best buy of 2020 and about to start Gloria. That's because Gloria is not available anywhere far as DVD or syndication. So I defintely got that from you. I dont have a issue paying but after finding out the the edited eps I just didnt think it was a good buy. If Chico and the Man appears on your site I will defintely pay 70 for that because its not showing in syndication and never released on DVD

Only thing I am paying 70 or more for is complete Unedited set of

Chico and the man
Roc
Season 4 of Threes Company

You're not likely to find any of those completely unedited any time soon. I have the complete series of Chico and the Man but it is not completely uncut. It runs 23 minutes long, which is longer than syndication length but still missing and additional minute and a half of content.

I also have the complete series of Roc from TV One recordings. They run between 22 and 23 minutes long. I have no original airings to compare them to so I'm not sure if they are completely uncut though.

Never been a huge Three's Company fan so I've never owned the DVDs. I have the spin off Three's A Crowd on DVD but I've always liked that show better.

I'll catch Three's Company when it airs from time to time but never felt the need to buy the DVDs.

Speaking of edits, I found a slight edit in the Gimme a Break complete series set. Two lines were edited out of the Who Dunnit episode from season 4.

In regards to edited episodes on a DVD set I can deal with a handful of edited episodes, not the entire set. 5 edited episodes isn't bad at all.

The Alf set is probably the worst offender when it comes to edited episodes because almost every episode is syndicated versions. Maybe a handful of episodes are uncut if that.

Same goes with the Angie set from VEI. Roughly 7 episodes are uncut while the rest are syndicated versions. No sale VEI.

I thought Angie had a complete commercial release?

Yep it did but most of the episodes were edited syndicated versions. Only 7 episodes or so were uncut.

Sorry if you took my reply as rude. it was not intended to be.

No, that wasn't my complaint. I was reffering to the "film" look presented and not the "videotaped" version which I was expecting. I actually own ABP's first season, and much like a standard Norman Lear show - it looks the way it should - as it was shot on videotape and not on film.

"Black bars" really don't bother me as much, and we've already agreed on the fact these shows are rare.

I'm glad to hear your customers recieve the treatment you describe and that it wasn't your intention to be rude, but say you were to purchase a vehicle from an agency and problems were found with it - would you take it kindly if the agency told you to take it to the manufacturing company?

Just want to put in my two cents about and to Mantronix. I ordered ABP, All's Fair and 704 Houser st. a couple of weeks ago. Shipping was fast and I am very pleased with my purchases. No complaints here. Also bought Gloria about a month ago and am happy with that, too. The editing is not a big deal to me in ABP, I have an older set that for the most part was taped off of TV ( not family net) that has the episodes mentioned here that are edited ( 5) not as edited, so it evens out. I am happy with the quality of Mantronix's set, it is much much better than what I had, especially seasons 2-4 that were taped off Tv on my other set. This means a lot to me. Very clear sharp picture and the audio is great. This seller has always been kind to me. I am glad I bought them and would recommend the sets.

Once again I do apologize if any of the comments on here came off as an attack.

I've had nothing but great experiences with the Mantronix store and will definitely keep purchasing as long as it stays in business.

We can live with all the topics we were discussing. None of that has any impact of future purchases, at least for me. I may hold off on purchasing sets right away but I'll definitely get around to purchasing other sets during the holiday season.

As far as pricing goes, that's subjective. We base what we'll consider paying based on our level of interest in a show. To each their own when it comes to that matter.

In regards to the Archie Bunker's Place set we also need to consider the time and effort spent creating that set. We're not just paying for the show, we're paying for the effort spent to create that set and the materials used. Most sellers send their discs in sleeves. We get full artwork and cases so that definitely a plus.

say you were to purchase a vehichle from an agency and problems were found with it - would you take it kindly if the agency told you to take it to the manufacturing company?

Sir, I can't honestly answer that question because the problems that you found are not with the product but with your personal preference.

Take a look at Winnie's response. She bought the same vehicle as you did.

Best Wishes.

I suggest you take a look at this upload of ABP's season 1, for instance:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTd0Akgmiz4

Even though it could do better visual-wise - the framerate is correct and the characters are moving "smoother". That's the videotape look and this is the way it should look like.

Thank You so much for the kind words and appreciation Winnie. I am very happy to hear that you are enjoying watching these rare show.

I had a dream Chico and the Man was on your site:)

It's one of my favorites and I very often dream it would get a complete series commercial release.

If I ever get a hold of the original prints of all 88 episodes I probably would make the set but it would be another 16 dvd monster set that would price out similar to ABP for sure.

well pm me the info and cant I pay with credit

I sent you a PM. I wanna say Joker created it. It’s been awhile. Great set.

Are the episodes dubbed from the masters or are they unedited?

Imad

I am currently working with the seller to get that episode added to his Archie Bunker's Place set. That episode will indeed be part of his set. The episode I have runs almost 25 minutes long so it's definitely unedited.

Finishing up season 2 of the ABP set and only one small issue. When I try to select the episode it's hard to get the cursor to move from ep to ep but that was very minor. overall I am enjoying the set and looking forward to season 3 with the appearance of Gloria


Just found out that season 1 of Gloria and Season 4 of ABP aired back to back on CBS so I think I will look at both DVD's together the way the public watched it back in 1982/83

I live on a fixed income for now. So after a few more paychecks, I’m going to invest.
