The advance release of the third season of Kids in the Hall is finally out and can be purchased from http://www.kidsinthehall.com. Those willing to wait can buy it quite a bit cheaper in October when it'll be released for normal distribution.

Great. Roseanne, as I understand it, has been wanting to package these with features, commentaries, etc. for some time, but Carsey-Werner were reluctant. Perhaps the success of the show's recent syndication blowout has changed their minds (Oxygen, Nick-at-Nite, and UPN, and perhaps others, run Roseanne at least a collective 3-4 hours every weekday now). I have seen the hell out of this show lately, but I'll probably still get the DVDs, as I suspect she'll have a hand in putting together some great supplements, and Nick-at-Nite -- though they otherwise present a respectful and lively tone with respect to 80s-90s syndicates -- encumber their broadcasts with a fully opaque blue bug which is one of the larger I've seen in recent memory. Roseanne is easily one of the best-performed, most uninhibited, singular visions in American sitcoms of the 80s-90s, excepting perhaps the last season or two, which were at least...challenging, I guess. Looking forward.oldsheperd wrote:Anchor Bay is going to start releasing Roseanne beginning late summer/early fall. YES!

Definitely don't shy away from buying Freaks and Geeks. I was going to buy it last year, but hadn't seen it and backed off, and now, well, that's just another year I could have been watching it. I enjoyed the show so much I bought the Undeclared box set (funny, but not as good). The Judd Apatow world is new to me, but I'm enjoying it. His co-written and directed 40 Year Old Virgin is making money hand over fist right now (and was *very* funny), which might let him do more great stuff.pauling wrote:Wow. I may have to pick up Freaks and Geeks as a blind purchase simply based on the feedback from the forum. I've never seen the show but am now very intrigued.
I look forward to, hopefully, seeing TV Funhouse on dvd. It was on Comedy Central but only for one season. Damn shame.
TV Funhouse would be great on DVD (anything with the Harlem Globetrotters going back in time and playing the baby Jesus in basketball deserves to be available). Also, where's That's My Bush!? Also, Exit 57. Comedy Central needs to get crackin'.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm really looking forward to the Season 1 box set for Lost. I missed out on a few crucial episodes and stopped watching and now I can watch 'em all without interruptions and in glorious widescreen. Not to mention the list of extras for this set look quite good. Huzzah.

I saw or read an interview with Robert Smigel saying there was no TV Funhouse DVD in the foreseeable future, which is horrible news because it's hysterical and my VHS dub isn't going to last forever. On the wishful thinking side, that was a year or so ago.
That's My Bush was set to debut in Canada on September 11, 2001 so we didn't get it at all. Bullshit.

both these shows are pretty easily found in digital form. tv funhouse (and may of the snl funhouse shorts) have been "digitally archived." that's my bush is available on a southpark site named after a handpuppet.ben d banana wrote:Steven H wrote:TV Funhouse would be great on DVD (anything with the Harlem Globetrotters going back in time and playing the baby Jesus in basketball deserves to be available).

If you're an Apatow-ite, his first beloved cult flop, "The Ben Stiller Show" (which loosed the Stiller stock company -- Janeane Garofalo, Andy Dick, Bob Odenkirk -- upon the world, and was the origin of the team of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross) is also available on DVD.Steven H wrote:Definitely don't shy away from buying Freaks and Geeks.

Now that Apatow's series are available, I hope he finds a way to release some of his unaired pilots. Come to think of it, I'd like to see a collection of great unaired pilots. There's a pilot called "Lookwell," by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel and starring Adam West, that is legendary as one of the funniest unsold pilots ever; and the failed TV pilot "Evil Roy Slade" -- written by Garry Marshall and Jerry Belson and starring John Astin -- is a Western spoof that puts "Blazing Saddles" to shame. There's a lot of good work done in pilots that never sell, and there ought to be a way for those things to hit DVD.

I enjoyed the show, but I always chalked it up to Stiller and Odenkirk (ornery genius that he is.) I know a little better now.Jaime_Weinman wrote:If you're an Apatow-ite, his first beloved cult flop, "The Ben Stiller Show" (which loosed the Stiller stock company -- Janeane Garofalo, Andy Dick, Bob Odenkirk -- upon the world, and was the origin of the team of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross) is also available on DVD.
That sounds great. I wonder if it's floating around in bootleg land. Thanks for the info.There's a pilot called "Lookwell," by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel and starring Adam West, that is legendary as one of the funniest unsold pilots ever

True, things got pretty ridiculous by the third season which barely managed to keep it together. For my money, the second season is still the best one -- man, the first couple episodes are some of the most intense stuff! It was interesting to see where they took Sutherland's character in that season.Polybius wrote:24 is more of a guilty pleasure (God, I truly despise that term, but it fits it better than anything else.) The first season was a lot of fun, but it's been steadily sinking since then (last year's storyline with it's Foxian racism and sledgehammer pounding of shopworn cliches was a low point that I doubt they can sink under.)
