Recommended Posts

Voting has begun for the 2016 Home Media Magazine Awards, annually hosted by the industry magazine to honor the best releases on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Here's a list of the categories related to multi-episodes TV shows, and their nominees:

  • Best Current TV Show on Disc
    • Poldark: Season 1 (PBS)
    • Downton Abbey: Season 5 (PBS)
    • The Walking Dead: Season 5 (Anchor Bay)
    • Silicon Valley: Season 1 (HBO)
    • Game of Thrones: Season 4 (HBO)
    • Orange Is the New Black: Season 2 (Lionsgate)
    • Empire: Season 1 (Fox)
    • Scandal: Season 4 (Disney/ABC)
    Best Older TV Show on Disc
    • Lost in Space: The Complete Adventures (Fox)
    • Maude: The Complete Series (Shout! Factory)
    • The Gumby Show: The Complete 1950s TV Series (NCircle)
    • Little House on the Prairie: Season 5 Remastered (Lionsgate) 
  • Best Complete TV Series Set
    • Lost in Space (Fox)
    • The Wire (HBO)
    • That '70s Show (Fox)
    • Maude (Shout! Factory)
    • Boardwalk Empire (HBO)
    • Mad Men (Lionsgate) 
  • Best Miniseries on Disc
    • The 10th Kingdom: 15th Anniversary (Mill Creek)
    • American Horror Story: Freak Show (Fox)
    • A.D. - The Bible Continues (Fox)
    • Ascension (Lionsgate)
    • Aquarius (Anchor Bay)
    • Olive Kitteridge (HBO)
    • Wolf Hall (PBS) 
  • Best Nonfiction TV Show
    • The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (HBO)
    • Monument Men: The Road to Rushmore (Mill Creek)
    Best AV Quality/TV on Blu-ray
    • The Flash: Season 1 (Warner)
    • Boardwalk Empire: Season 5 (HBO)
    • Game of Thrones: Season 4 (HBO)
    • Orange Is the New Black: Season 2 (Lionsgate)

Note that HMM has made an apparent mistake: in the "Best Complete TV Series Set" they list That '70s Show as a release from Fox; the 2015 release of that item (which was on Blu-ray Disc, and a great set at that!) was from Mill Creek Entertainment, not Fox.

There are other categories whose nominees mix TV shows and non-TV releases, such as the "Best Extras/Bonus Materials" category. There you'll see the TV shows include The Walking Dead: Season 5 (Anchor Bay), Game of Thrones: Season 4 (HBO), and Banshee: Season 2 (HBO). The "Best Box Art" category includes Aquarius (Anchor Bay), Game of Thrones: Season 4 (HBO), and The Knick: Season 1 (HBO). The "Best Packaging" category includes several TV shows:

  • The Gumby Show: The Complete 1950s TV Series (NCircle)
  • The Walking Dead: Season 5 Deluxe Edition (Anchor Bay)
  • Mad Men: The Complete Collection (Lionsgate)
  • Outlander: Season 1 Deluxe Edition (Sony Pictures/Cartamundi)
  • That '70s Show: The Complete Series (Mill Creek)

Mill Creek is correctly attributed by HMM for That '70s Show in that category! Fox's Lost in Space: The Complete Adventures gets nominated, however, in the "Best Restoration" category. And "Best Title Upgrade" includes a pair of HBO items: The Wire: The Complete Series Blu-ray and Game of Thrones: Season 1 Steelbook.

"Best Kidvid Disc" includes The Gumby Show: The Complete 1950s Series (NCircle) and Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion (Disney), while "Best Comedy" counts Silicon Valley: Season 1 (HBO) and Lisa Kudrow in The Comeback: Seasons 1-2 (HBO) among their number. HBO scored more nominations in "Best Drama" with Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Series, and Game of Thrones: Season 4...the latter is also a nominee in the "Best Fantasy" category, too!

Getting away from HBO, the "Best Horror" list includes The Walking Dead: Season 5 (Anchor Bay) and American Horror Story: Freak Show (Fox). Fox strikes again in the "Best Sci-Fi" category with Lost in Space: The Complete Adventures, as does Disney in that category with Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion. The TV titles close out with Warner's The Flash: Season 1 is the only comic-inspired TV series release to be included among the nominees for "Best Superhero Disc"...way to go, Scarlet Speedster!

I want a Maude sweep!

Works for me...although I haven't made the "splurge" yet, thinking I may have to go the single-season-at-a-time route (which I hate when there's a complete box set alternative!).... Do we know if the bonuses like those rare (two?) eps made it onto the single season releases?? Or are they only on a bonus disc in the (complete series) box??? :blink:

 

I voted heavily for Maude, Lost in Space (sorry...product of my childhood) and wrote in I Love Lucy Ultimate Season 2 blu-ray wherever applicable since it didn't seem to "get the love" the Season 1 did when it came out!!! :HALKING:
