Night Court DVD ????

This may not be to right group to post this two so I apologize if its
considered off topic.

I'm a HUGE Night Court fan, and I just got word that they are going to start
releaseing "best of night court" dvds. Awhile back they released the first
season and I was hoping that the other seasons would follow. But with word
of these "best of" dvds I'm worried about the Season sets future.

Does anyone know if they are planning to release the rest of the season sets
or not? TVLand is now playing them but I would rather wait for the DVD
sets, but if they aren't going to release them I need to start getting them
off of TVLAND.

Anyone know anything???

SitcomsOnlline.com has posted in last Thursday's News Blog that Night Court
will be among a new group of sitcom titles in their Televsion Favorites"
lineup of DVD releases. These are typically a single-disc release for
around $10 SRP with anywhere from 3 to 6 episodes from the show featured on
the disc. Blog writer Pavan Badal says that this is "promised", but doesn't
indicate that this is a hard announcement just yet. It sounds like he was
told by his sources that these releases are meant to test the waters for
possible season-set releases later on, but Pavan points out - and we agree
completely - that this is very strange in Night Court's case since a
Complete 1st Season set is already out, and anecdotal evidence is that it
sold quite well upon its release this past February. We're therefore
looking as confused as Bull Shannon typically is over why Warner feels the
need to go back to a "best-of" format, but stay tuned and we'll try to find
out more and fill you in on any further developments.

The Torme estate probably wants a gabillion million dollars for his
appearances and songs. Remember, when Night Court came on, talkies
just barely existed. Nobody, not even an Apollo astronaut could
conceive of a 5.25 inch disk putting out 480 lines of progressive scan
resolution and lasting nearly forever. Who can blame their
shortsightedness?

I'm not sure about Night Court, but several shows of that time frame did not
have residuals for the actors! The actors got paid for their performance
and that was it! Some did some didn't, they sure didn't get the outrageous
residual sums of todays "stars." I certainly hope that isn't going to be a
problem for night court. I have waited years and years for them to come out
with them either on DVD or years ago on VHS. You have a point though, even
if the actors don't get residuals its possible Torme had that in his
contract, I hope not, or at the very least I hope that won't be a sticking
point. I would assume they would just get a piece of every unit sold.

Anyway, think I'm going to start recording off of TVLAND, DVD-Rs are cheap
enough I can always toss them if the season sets come out. Was hoping to
avoid doing this though.

Those broadcast versions of the show have been horribly transferred.
The video is murky green to yellow, and considering other shows of it's
time, it's a disservice to viewers and fans alike !

AMEN

As the blessed Mel's first appearance wasn't until towards the end of the
third season, this can't be the reason for their not having issued the
second season. And he was only in nine of the 193 episodes, according to
tv.com. My guess is that if his estate was causing trouble, they'd simply
not issue those particular episodes - or threaten to do that....

As a born optimist, I'm hoping that the "best of" issues are *in addition*
to the season sets, rather than instead them - they've done that with the
Simpsons.
