THIS SET NEEDS TO BE RECALLED NOW!

At this point I doubt they’re going to do yet another disc replacement program. And, maybe I’m just getting older and caring about certain things a little less, but despite the disappointment in certain respects, I’m pretty happy with this set. It’s the best the show has ever looked (for the most part), and the entire collection is priced at a steal, especially considering how much the old individual dvd seasons cost me cumulatively back in the day.

I’ll take replacement discs if they decide to do it but otherwise, I’m done complaining.

Something obviously went wrong during the encoding. Has anyone else contacted WB yet?

For me, this was a huge disappointment, and clearly a missed opportunity, as I'm sure A MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE (1966) will probably never see HD release on disc, now!

That said, I am glad The Flintstones 'original recipe' (I'm not real fond of that phrase, LOL!) series has finally seen 1080p Blu-ray release, even with all of the warts. (Though I hope they do get fixed!)

CHEERS!

[moviebuff75]

So far, except for the issue on Disc 3, all Season 2 episodes are ok. I hope I don't find any more mistakes.

"The Rock Quarry Story" MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS ARE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT.

I don't even know what else to say at this point.

[moviebuff75]

But, I will try...I feel sorry for those who worked hard on this show, only to have it damaged by someone/some who didn't do their jobs. It looks beautiful and sounds great when it is up to viewable standards. But, when you can't get through two episodes without some sort of glitch, there is a problem. They should be embarrassed.
I don't make a lot of money. I was super excited that one of my most beloved shows was coming to blu-ray. I worked hard teaching school for every dollar I spent on this. The sad part is that if it doesn't get fixed, the show will remain in this altered state forever.

QC at Warner has gone to shite. That's what I have to say.

Honestly keep going through and looking for this kinda stuff, we need to compile a list of issues to send to them. Imagine if they have to replace ever single disc? Haha man what a mess

[moviebuff75]

That's exactly what they are going to have to do. And I don't feel sorry for their multi-million dollar company. I feel sorry for the show, and for the fans.

I'm hugely disappointed that both this and Wonder Woman turned out to have such a disastrous release. I will not be buying any more WB sets until I see they have corrected these ongoing problems. And that's a shame, because if sales drop off, they will stop producing the sets altogether. You can't win. How do some of these "technicians" have jobs? They're supposed to be the experts in their field, aren't they?

[moviebuff75]

I couldn't have said it better. Both sets. Both beloved, popular shows. Iconic shows. Unbelievable. And you know that other WB releases probably have issues that we just don't know about. Something is wrong with their equipment and technicians. The thought of the person who caused this burns me up.

[DocMario90]

Just got my replacement disc in today, and the episode sounds exactly like it should. As for the rest of the issues regarding this boxset.... yeah, between this, the two Scooby-Doo sets from 2019, and about half of Tex Avery Screwball Classics Vol. 2 (the latter of which was a Warner Archive release), WB REALLY needs to get their quality control together with their home video division.

[moviebuff75]

They sent out replacements too early. They should have gone through the entire set first.
On the other end of the waiting game, WONDER WOMAN was PROMISED to be fixed but still hasn't.

[mar3o]

Yup, as soon as they realized something was wrong with the set, requiring a replacement disc due to an entire episode being affected, they should have waited and checked out the entire set again to verify what else needed fixing at the same time. Instead they rushed out a single replacement disc for this set. But then again, I'm starting to wonder if they know their own products. Would they even be aware of the zooming and other issues? I had assumed the delay for Wonder Woman was that they were going overt the whole set again. Now I'm wondering about that.

I don't think they've done that once, yet alone again

You can always ask for a refund and buy it again after they fix it. If the retailer won't do it, go direct to Warner Video and ask them to refund you. It's their mistake after all.

They should do it, but they don’t -have- to do anything. Let’s be honest. These issues will be a mere drop in a bucket for many.

I'm guessing it's not that easy. Policies. My copy was from Amazon for Christmas and the return date has passed. I doubt Warner will just send a check.

[bigshot]

You never know unless you try.

What is the issue with this collection?
