No offense to the ODAAT clique, but I posted this separate as an FYI for those who are interested, but aren't into all the Max/Barbara chatter

Let's keep this thread on-track for those who only want to discuss the DVD set and not derail into a Facebook-style free-for-all.

What are the bonus features?

The listing confirms that Shout! Factory is releasing it. I'm not sure if that was confirmed before the Amazon listing.

opus · 09-07-2017, 01:32 PM

For you DVD buyers, how's that price compare to other series of comparable length?

Seems decent to me.

Keep in mind it will decrease closer to release day. It'll probably go down to at least $99.

Box art is up on Amazon now.

The big question is How many discs - which would give a good idea of the quality - compression and all that. A Dual Layered disc could easily hold 10 episodes with low compression. So could be looking at 22 discs at most, allowing for extras and stuff.

I missed that!

All the small print.

Quality should be very nice.

I guess I will be the "Bah Humbug" here and say that I think the price is WAY too high for a 40 something year old show.

I am kind of disappointed in that respect.

I remember getting the first season the first day at FYE years ago and it was very reasonably priced but even then it didn't sell very well.

In any case they really need to "wop on the beat" and promote this thing.

I'm a cheapskate sometimes on these shows, Mrs T and I did take a loan out so we could buy the entire series of Dark Shadows however, okay not quite, but it was spendy and that was one of our rare splurges.
Loved I was able to pick up King Of Queen the complete series for $19.

209 episodes, an unknown amount of extras (perhaps they will dig up CBS material from the era as well) and the possibility of the unaired pilot (If they remembered it! - a copy is sitting at UCLA!) over 27 discs.

The price isn't bad for what it is.

The question still remains if any editing or music changes for rights issues will affect the set.

RetroTVNitekatt · 09-07-2017, 02:57 PM

Based on a Season 4 or 5 publicity shot it looks like.

Torgo · 09-07-2017, 02:59 PM

207 episodes, 27 discs, including bonus disc of extras. King Of Queens $19 (not including shipping)

RetroTVNitekatt · 09-07-2017, 03:00 PM

It's up for preorder at SHOUT! directly at a discount, and early shipping!
