The West Wing is finally coming to Blu - wish it was season sets so I could just get the Sorkin years, but still great news

Veep the entire show coming in one set from WB on Oct 22

Appropriate timing, hah.

I have avoided this series, and was shocked to find out that apparently they didn't cover the Grand Knockout Tournament show, that was the first thing to shift public perception of the Royal Family years before the Charles & Di divorce and the Prince Andrew stuff. That should have acted as the cautionary tale about trying to court the media that the Royals did not appear to learn the lesson from.

The packaging for this splits up the seasons 1-4 and 5-7, so, someone at Warners knows what they’re doing and I can just dump the second case in a box under the bed

I Love Lucy is finally coming on Blu-ray 11/5!

Nigel Kneale's The Stone Tape coming to blu-ray December 9. Definitely in for that.

God I have been waiting to watch this in a "somewhat" HD version for years. Finally!

It makes for a fun thematically similar 'ancient evil being unleashed' triple bill with in between Quatermass and the Pit and Halloween III: Season of the Witch too!

Seinfeld is finally coming on 17th December to both regular Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray!

Now confirmed that whilst the BD will use the 16x9 ratio version, the UHD will be 4x3 (but also a Limited Edition).

Is the UHD the correct presentation?

Absolutely, this is a TV show from 89-98 after all.

Figured, just wanted to confirm - hopefully the LE doesn't sell out too quick

Absolutely bizarre decision from Sony to produce the Blu-rays with wrong aspect ratio and also to artificially limit the availability of the 4K set for no reason. Physical contents of the sets look identical, just different format discs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Based on Amazon.com listings, the 4K UHD set also includes 2-part cast roundtable (not on 1080p BD set).

Is Sony trying to drive sales of its UHD players? (Serious question)

It looks like the MSRP of the UHD Seinfeld set just went up on Amazon. I have little hope for a discount down the line

*sigh* Reports are coming in that at least some of the newly scanned episodes have had AI tampering. Here's an example in motion. If you somehow miss it:

watch the faces in the background over Ricky's shoulders.

Unbelievably fucking stupid and lazy.

You're telling me that this is not how it's supposed to look?

Complete series of Murder She Wrote coming to Blu-ray - I truly did not realize the core audience for this was both alive and interested in Blu-rays
