Awesome, been waiting for this for a long, long time. Holding off on the MOD DVD-5 for a Blu-ray release.

Thanks very much for getting back to me.

I figured that was the issue. However, I did read a recent interview on Reddit with Rob Burnett, the executive producer of the show, in which he said that he's willing to go back through the episodes and remove/replace problematic songs. So you might want to reach out to him and see what you can work out. Just a thought.

I know I can find your titles on line i.e. Amazon but I have trouble locating them in stores. Any suggestions which stores carry most of your product ? Thanks Rick

Cliff,

Any chance you can release the shortlived NBC show, The New Show from 1984 which ran only 9 episodes. From Lorne Michaels and starring Buck Henry, Dave Thomas, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Valri Bromfield, Jeff Goldblum, Maggie Wheeler and Steve Martin among others.

Again, there were some musical performances that need to be dealt with but there are so many classic sketches here that are only alive on old VHS tapes and YouTube clips. I'd love to see them survive on DVD.

The combined talents of SCTV and SNL

Music/Performances:

Ep.1 - Steve Martin - Michael Jackson - Billie Jean Parody
Ep.2 - Paul Simon - ?
Ep.3 - Cyndi Lauper - ?
Ep.4 - Randy Newman - ?
Ep.5 - John Mellencamp - ?
Ep.6 - Cyndi Lauper - ?
Ep.7 - Rick James - ?
Ep.8 - Laurie Anderson - ?
Ep.9 - The Pretenders - ?

I seem to recall the musical guests doing two songs each show. There are other incidental pieces of music in the sketches as well. Ep.1 has Zager & Evans - In the Year 2525 as an example.

any chance to see some quality versions of Universal titles--

FIRE STARTER

SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW

GHOST STORY

and my biggest hope of all--

DRACULA (1979) with color corrections done without the pathetic tampering of all previous video releases??? apparently John Badham decided that he always wanted the film to have an old classic horror look so he muted the color almost completely with the prints used for home video...this would be a great opportunity to release the film as it was shown in the theaters again! Pretty please?

[AKORIS]

hmmmm. I seemed to have killed this thread with my last request... any chance??

[KINGDANGER]

Can you give us some details about the Jackie Chan Police Story I & II double pack coming in April? Are these new transfers or the previous Fortune Star release?

[NoirFan]

Happy New Year Cliff! Will Message From Space include both English and Japanese audio tracks?

Edit: I just discovered this will be DVD-only, never mind.

Hey Cliff,

Any chance or news that Shout could bring us the entire show of Head of the Class from back in the eighties!!!

Thanks in advance!

Cliff,

Any chance Shout! Factory could obtain the rights for John Woo's The Killer or Hard Boiled, or are we stuck with the dreadful Dragon Dynasty Blu-Rays for the time being?

Thanks.

Actually there was a U.S. DVD release of it back in 1999 released by Pioneer Studios. Long ago Out of Print now though.

Cliff, Is there any chance of some Euro Horror Cult movies coming out at some point from Shout Factory?

no, because you'd need HD masters.
