tjw Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Will the color home movies that were in the HL DVD releases ever be released in HD when (hopefully) the LDCH Blu Ray is released? Or are the rights to those home movies exclusively for MPI? Cannot say... The home movies are owned by the Arnaz estate. Am sure the appropriate films will be among the items considered for inclusion on the LDCH set, once CBS has completed Seasons 1-6...

LucyFanForever Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I can't believe the Blu-ray is $129.99........that's kinda ridiculous. For goodness sakes', I got most of the seasons I have at the moment for about $20 a piece! I never did really see a difference between regular DVDs and Blu-ray.........probably just me. . I have the 'color home movies' feature with The Audition on my 1st season discs anyway, so I won't be buying the blu-ray. I really don't see any point for me to spend that much on blu-ray, when I don't see any difference between it and regular DVDs! Lol! .

Lol That reminds me of what my friend Lindy had done a week or so ago at her apt- lol I explained to her that she NEEDED TO INVEST in this , "first time on Blu Ray" blu ray set and I told her how sharp and pristine everything would look...she said to me, "come here"-she took me over to her flat screen. lol She said "sit down!" she went to the TVs remote, toggled the settings to the sharpen option lol-she moves it from sharp to blurry, sharp to blurry and says "THIS IS MY BLU RAY until that thing goes on sell!!" lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 That is just the SRP. Stores and online retailers will offer it at a discount. And the price is bound to drop more down the line as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those with big televisions will see a HUGE difference however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family's TV isn't exactly tiny, but it isn't any big television either. . Maybe I just don't see the difference cause I don't pay much attention to such things. Lollol.

C L A U D E Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 When you get old like me, you'll see no difference, the picture is always as sharp as I want it to get when you compare it to what we watched originally back in the fifties. It was only last week that I discovered the button on my remote to change the size of the picture, Cinerama, stretch, normal and being blind nowadays, my favorite, Z O O M ! As for the price, where the hell to people get the money to pay for this series at 200 smackeroos or Smallville at 250 or the worst of all, all episodes of Law and Order in this huge box for 800 dollars?

In order to get the full blu ray experience your tv must have a 1080p resolution with a max of 240hz. TV sets that have a 720p resolution look quite as well but doesn't have the smooth motion quality as the 1080p. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likewow Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'll wait for the 'Complete Series' on BluRay And then, only if 1) all the missing footage, lost scenes, sponsor openings and commercials are put back into the episodes, and 2) Tallulah Bankhead's line about being allergic to strawberries is restored! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yes I too hope all the original openings and closings are included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nertz2mertz Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm still curious to what know this "will blow fans mind" is all about? If anything in color whether photos or more on set home movies is included I'll get it or else I'll blow my cuban top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I think it's just a selling tactic, nothing more. And to this day, that Tallulah line just bothers me as when I saw the show, SHE DID SAY THE LINE, now was this in the beta version, syndicated one, VHS, or DVD or what? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 See that bugs me too as I knew why she was itching at the end. My first exposure to these was Nick at Night in the 90s so maybe that is where the strawberry line was left on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I dunno but it definitely was ON in one copy as I've heard it many many times. How could they eliminate the set up for a later joke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nertz2mertz Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 The one thing that concerns me about the first season on blu ray is how long before the last season comes out? Do we have to wait 3,4,5, years before we get them all? Is it Columbia House all over again? Heavens to Betsy! Ay Dios mio mira que tienen cosa la gente..............! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Supposedly all the LDCH original masters will be used for a re-release, with the cut footage intact and 35mm quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likewow Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think it's just a selling tactic, nothing more. And to this day, that Tallulah line just bothers me as when I saw the show, SHE DID SAY THE LINE, now was this in the beta version, syndicated one, VHS, or DVD or what? I saw it when the hour long episodes were broadcast as specials called "We Love Lucy" with Lucie Arnaz, Betty White and Ann Jillian hosting. But when I got the LDCH on VHS from Columbia House, the line was already gone, I believe. I couldn't believe it was still missing when the DVD set came out.
