What kind of PQ upgrade are we talking here? I thought TV shows didn't get much improvement because of the cameras they use.

Friends was shot on film, so I think the upgrade will be quite significant.

Hmm...not really interested in the later seasons. Might get Season 1 and then the individual seasons as they release until around 5 or 6.

I just want How I Met Your Mother seasons to come on blu-ray already (besides S4) so any TV show on blu-ray is good news.

Love Friends, and would love a complete box set! I owned the complete DVD box set, but sold it off a little while back, after reading some news regarding an eventual Blu-ray release and in anticipation of one!

Really had to push the tv shows onto blu-ray. I'm seriously exhausted just thinking about it. Those reviews are going to be quite negative I predict.

And it mentioned a Smallville COMPLETE SERIES coming to blu as well!

The Apocalypse · 05-30-2011, 06:59 PM

Lossy audio for these releases, anyone? I hope not, but it may well be the case.

sapphire_nick · 05-30-2011, 07:38 PM

Really eagerly anticipating the boxset release!

blu-mike · 05-30-2011, 08:56 PM

Hopefully we will see Seinfeld on blu soon

ChrisDilke · 05-30-2011, 09:13 PM

Probably my favourite comedy show, I could watch Friends repeatedly and never tire of it. Glad to hear it's coming to Blu-ray, hope it gets a UK release around the same time as the US. I'm definitely in for a complete Smallville set too. Was there anything in this survey about any cartoons coming to Blu? I remember last year Warner said they were planning to put Looney Tunes out on Blu-ray, I'd love to see that happen. I'd also like to see the original Thundercats on Blu, maybe to coincide with the release of the new series?

longhornsgirl · 05-30-2011, 09:25 PM

A definite purchase for me.

Yep - me too! I am really surprised that it has still not been released as that one has been ready for ages!

The Apocalypse · 05-31-2011, 12:11 PM

As much as I'm looking forward to this, and others (i.e. ER), the audio will probably be the let down, knowing WB's previous TV releases, meaning no TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, or even PCM. Just plain ol' Dolby Digital. Shame really.

Veronica Mars · 06-02-2011, 02:20 AM

Is this release just a matter of time (not talking years, but maybe within 12 months) or is this just a total rumor?

I have a decent offer on my SD sets, but I don't want to get rid of them if this turns out to be something that never comes out or is still years away from happening.

Thanks.

^ Surprised to see that comparison, and that looks like it is from an early season. Does that mean that all along, the 4:3 versions of Friends is a center extraction of a 16:9 frame as opposed to showing more on the top and bottom?

Is that 4:3 image from a DVD or a broadcast?

Looks like the pilot.

Chuck! · 06-02-2011, 11:31 AM

Yep the first episode. And seeing that comparison, I can't wait now. Must look pretty good on blu.

It's a rumor since October 2009.
