The Dvd - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ImKukie · 05-25-2003, 01:58 PM

I am quite happy that Sony has started putting out their sitcoms on to DVD but I am pretty dissapointed that they haven't been including any extras on those dvds. Do they not realize the potentail market they are missing out on or am I jsut nieve in thinking that people would be more inclined to purchase a DVD with extras over just taping a show off the tv or buying the less expencive vhs version (of which there are currently few or none available for sitcoms).

I'm interested in hearing from everyone as to what your opinion is when it comes to purchasing sitcoms on dvd.

Would you be more inclined to purchase a dvd for the extras it included & what do you look for when you are checking out the extras, which are your favorites for viewing, whats the 1st extra you usually watch & whats usually the last one you check out???

For me I love bloopers, thats usually my 1st choice & what i immediatly look for. I personally dont buy vhs tapes anymore (unless its not avail on DVD) & if there are no extras unless its a totally awesome movie or show I usually bypass the dvd all together. I have quite a huge collection of DVDs & most I purchased because I liked the extras on it.

I am hoping that with the Nanny if we all lobby sony together we can get them to include extras such as interviews (past or present) behind the scenes, bloopers & my personal favorite, instead of a directors commentary version, a popup version would be oh so much more fun.

My favorite DVD bonus is the Bloopers/outtakes, but even if a DVD I really wanted didn't have anything extra I'd still buy it

No DVD release date yet but I have still got my fingers crossed.
Go add your vote for its release over at
www.tvshowson dvd.com registration is free & I haven't found any spam generated from them but they do send you updated info as to news about dvd releases for teh shows you have expressed an interest in.

I really hope that it gets released this year but I think we would have heard something by now if it was. I'm not giving up hope though :-)

Yeah, that's pretty much what I wanted to say! If they came out with "The Nanny: The Complete First Season" I'd be at FYE in 2 seconds to buy it!!! This show rocks!
