I made sure to give them high bitrate. Not HD or quite as good of quality as the NTSC release, but the sound is perfect in every episode and no PAL speed up. I put them all on Plex and just watch them that way. I didn't bother with Season 3 (just kept the NTSC) since the audio issues weren't nearly as bad

Oh, I have the SMDB bluray release and there is muffled audio is several episodes. Very reminiscent of the BW NTSC audio issues (just not quite as bad)

I haven't visited this thread in a long time, hoping the German BD (of The Six Million Dollar Man) set would be the ultimate, but I guess not.
Can I just ask a question about The Bionic Woman: I have the US DVDs from 2010-2011, the UK DVD sets from 2005-2006, and from Germany the DVD sets in the beautiful packaging from 2008-2009 as well as the SD BD set. Are you saying that the Fabulous set of the complete series manages to offer an improvement and that as a super fan I must buy that eyesore-inducing artwork because the content is better?

Sorry to ask, but I've read the latest pages and I only see hints that a company called Elephant is working on a Bluray Disc set of their own. I was hoping to find out more, or where this rumor comes from, but nothing. Is there some link anywhere, a page, a fan blog that said this? I literally would like to know all that is known or rumored about.

Despite, the very low video bitrate, this looks very good to me.

I reached out to Elephant on Facebook and they assured me both bionic series are still in the works, but not expected till 2022. This year is all about The A-Team.

Any reason to think the Elephant version would be better than the Turbine one?

[saltysam]

German release used edited german masters i think?

Edit: As above. Plus Bionic Woman.

Considering that we've seen Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers and Wonder Woman released to Blu-ray here in the states, I wish Universal would get their act together and release Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman on Blu-ray already. I think it's about time and no going to Mill Creek or VEI to release it.

[Deadend45]

It will be released when its released and not a moment before.

elephant is the rolls royce of tv labels so Id guess they're going to do a better version than the german set, which is a decent looking set, dont get me wrong, but no eng subs, which is pretty important to me, and the image looks better than the DVDs but with some space to improve.

[Guydowood]

We can release it. We have the technology…..

Good to hear. Would be great to have an option for English titles/credits too.

I wasn't aware of these releases. Well, until I received an email from Turbine today.

Die Sieben Millionen Dollar Frau - Die komplette Serie (Blu-ray Box)


Bionic Box: Der Sechs Millionen Dollar Mann + Die Sieben Millionen Dollar Frau (Schuber mit 21 BDs)

[UnionJackMix]

I received it too and I'm frantically trying to decide what to buy because I have the original LE "male" box, I am definitely buying the "female" box, however it seems the latter is only available in a basic plastic box, either on its own or as part of the white box, which includes an SE version of the "male" box, which I already have as LE.
Does anyone know if the "male" content is identical to the LE from a few years ago from Germany, and if the "female" box has the same transfers and/or content of the Shout version that is coming out in the US? The timing would make me think it could be the same, but maybe only rights-wide.
And also, what happened to the French Elephant box we've been promised, will it be different in transfer and content?

[surfinhank]

Translating the email it says: "All 58 episodes appear in the unabridged original version in full HD on 9 Blu-rays (short passages of dialogue are reproduced in English with German subtitles)."

The sentence about the dialogue... wasn't there a similar issue on SMDM? It just means they don't have German dubbing for those sections, right?
