Why? Why put the good artwork on the awful Director's Cut of The Warriors?

I bought their Odd Couple collection earlier this year, which included 10 episodes of the Tony Randall/Jack Klugman tv show. I'll kill my whole family for the whole show on blu-ray (ok, not really. Maybe one or two of them  )

The price is a bit steep (individual releases would have been better), I'm not sure how much better they could look (the remastered DVDs still look stunning on my 40inch tv), and I actually like season 6 more than 4 but we never get that. The New Avengers is the show that could really do with a HD remaster at this point too. I'll wait and see if we get individual releases. That price is way too steep for something I already have in what I consider excellent quality at the moment. Susan Foreman likes this. |
