Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?

That would be the Mill Creek, Fabulous Films, & Elephant Films Blu-ray sets...as they (and the Universal DVD sets) used syndicated versions for the episodes. I don't think you're reading what I'm writing. I'm specifically saying that the Universal DVD sets ARE NOT the same as the Mill Creek Blu-Ray...

Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?

Oh really? I did not know that. Looked like the real deal to me. Otherwise why even bother presenting them in the 2-hour format if they're really the syndicated 2-part versions? I think they put the parts back together to try and present the show as close to how it originally aired as possible. But...

Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?

Don't like "Did You See the Sunrise?" and "Memories are Forever"??? :o :shock: The 2 best episodes of the entire series?? I have to wonder what got chopped off in these 2 brilliant episodes. :? Glad I have the Universal DVD's with these episodes in a 2-hour format (as opposed to part 1 & part 2). H...

Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?

As for the missing scenes, I don't particularly like most of the two part episodes except for the pilot and last episode.

Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?

The worst part about the "edits" are that they take out jokes and other unique scenes that give the show its' real character and charm. It makes me so mad when its on TV and the scenes are cut. My kids even notice it and point out what was just removed! I agree...and I hate any kind of cuts or edit...

Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?

I have the Mill Creek Blu ray set. The two part episodes have 8 minutes chopped out of them. The regular episodes seem to be complete. The color is brighter, but some views of outdoor sky scenes (through windows for example) are too bright and washed out looking. As for the missing scenes, I don't ...

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

I’ve actually decided to go with the Elephant Films Blu-ray set...as the reviews on it, even compared to the Fabulous Films & Mill Creek sets, are awesome! Plus, it has uncut original airings (unlike all the U.S. DVD & previous Blu-ray sets, which used syndicated/edited versions), and it’s region f...

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

Does anyone have the iTunes version in HD? Is it really HD? I might look for another sale of the iTunes version. I bought it a few years ago when it was on sale for $30. It looks fantastic, but you don't get any extras. I kind of want to buy one of the blu-ray sets too, but I don't really need it. ...

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before...but, which Blu-ray set is best? I’ve read before that the Fabulous Films Blu-ray set from 2016 has original, uncut/unedited episodes...whereas Mill Creek’s set from this last year (and the previous DVD sets) used syndicated reruns for the episodes.

Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?

I’m sure this question has been discussed in many other threads...but, there’s so many! So, I thought I’d maybe ask it again. There are at least 3 different Blu-ray sets of “Magnum” that I know of...Fabulous Films, Mill Creek, and Elephant Films. I’ve read tons of reviews on all...but many are “cont...

Re: HAWAIIAN EYE

Thank you 308Guy for creating this thread. The first time I watch a TV series I try to take it on it's own terms and hope I will be entertained. If it's worthwhile, the second time through I try breaking down what the writers/director did to put the story over. Plus searching for the trivial aspect...

Re: HAWAIIAN EYE

The story is by the mid 60s a lot of shows were starting to go to color, but not all. It originally was because color was more expensive. But, by the mid 60s it wasn’t that much more. The 1965-1966 season they had the shows that were still in B&W do one episode in color, to see what they would look...
