Buscemi-Era SOPRANOS 5.X!! Every Single OUTER LIMITS!!Herc
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
From Ain’t It Cool’s April interview with “Veronica Mars” mastermind Rob Thomas:
.... AICN: Leaving aside for the moment the many filmed
entertainments on which you yourself have labored,
what do you believe to be the finest hourlong series
ever crafted for American television?
.... THOMAS: The show I most adore would be The Office, but you've limited me to American series. I'd put Mr. Show on the short list. The Sopranos. Freaks and Geeks. If the Simpsons would've called it quits after season five, it would be there for me. Oh, wait. I can't read. You said hour-long. Uh...then I'll stick with Freaks and Geeks and The Sopranos.
.... AICN: Did you see the last "Sopranos" season with Steve
Buscemi? Do you feel the show gets better as it goes
along? Or do you feel it peaked with Nancy Marchand?
.... THOMAS: I don't think it's lost steam. I think some fans who show up for mob hits might have lost some enthusiasm, but Tony's journey is every bit as complex and interesting as it was in the first season -- for me.
10 reasons to revisit the fifth – and I’m willing to declare the best – season of “The Sopranos”:
1) An enfeebled Junior’s return to the “old neighborhood.”
2) Feech La Manna’s plasma screens, and his take on modern grooming.
3) Carm’s paranoid romance with Anthony Jr.’s guidance counselor.
4) Christofuh’s reaction to the news that Ade might have been boning Tony.
5) Christofuh having to collect from the fellow rehab vet played by Tim Daly.
6) The panic Meadow’s boyfriend endures when Tony’s homosexual soldier invites him to a ballgame.
7) The New York Cold War pitting Little Carmine against Johnny Sack.
8) Big Pussy Bonepensiero, Richie Aprile, Ralphie Cifaretto, Gloria Trillo, Vin Makazian and Annette Bening (!) all turning up in one of Tony’s dreams.
9) Adriana’s FBI-snitch story-arc finally coming to an extraordinary, Emmy-winning close.
10) The amazing Steve Buscemi as Tony’s doomed cousin Tony Blundetto.
Guess what? You can now own every episode of ABC’s amazing if short-lived “Twilight Zone” knockoff, “The Outer Limits,” for less than $77. All 32 season-one episodes.
All 17 season-two episodes. (Bear in mind very single "Star Trek" will run you about $2,800.)
You know in your heart you want to own these. The first season features “The Chameleon.” It stars Robert Duvall and was written by Robert Towne, likely the finest screenwriter alive.
The second season features two – count ‘em, two - teleplays written by the great Harlan Ellison, who went on to write the best episode of “Star Trek” ever. One episode, “Soldier,” is responsible for Ellison’s name appearing on every DVD of “The Terminator” ever manufactured. Another second-season episode is titled “Wolf 359,” which carries its own resonance for “Star Trek” fans.

The "I, Robot" episode from "The Outer Limits" was adapted by a short story of the same name by Eando Binder.
-
I don't get it. I've had those two Outer Limit sets on my shelf for many months now. Is this some new improved set?
-
So these are re-issues? Does the packaging look familiar? Are they priced less expensively?
-
With our exchange rate in Australia and my having no money ... What did everyone think of the new Outer Limits - it had a good run for a sci-fi show and a compilation at that (6.5-7 seasons) and they did get some very high profile actors to appear in many episodes.
-
Now for that I will beat feat down to the local Best Buy.
-
The episodes from the '60s have been available for at least a couple of years. When are the new episodes going to be released?
-
When will we see some REAL classic titles?
-
Welcome to Harry and Hercs site of links! Here you will find thousands upon thousands of amazon links with little to no reference with the brief story they are attached to! Marvel at how nothing on this site is even actual news anymore!
-
since i spend all day watching movies and eating entire glazed hams i've outgrown my pants. big and tall won't even let me in the door anymore. i buy all my dvds by clicking through AICN. no matter how obscure [the entire run of whoops! on dvd] i know i can find a link. so lets help each other out. herc, links to mumums.com
-
How *could* you forget Ellison's "Demon With a Glass Hand" OL episode? Classic!!
-
There are about 14 times as many Trek episodes as Outer Limits episodes. And It's more like 2500 bucks unless you somehow get a retailer that doesn't discount the MSRP AT ALL.
-
Anyone else excited about this? I remember I liked this a lot as a kid (Clancy Brown, Tim Curry, etc.). Also, when the hell are they releasing Space: Above and Beyond. Another show I remember liking but have no idea if it holds up or not.
-
thanks a lot. i just tore the last of my clothes bending over to pick up my frodo action figure. it was some serious lou feregno shit. so now i just can sit in my room naked until herc posts a link to mumus.com

Yeah, I'd drop some bank on a Rockford Files set. That Fire
by heywood jablowme
I'd also like to know when the hell someone will put The Fall Guy out. The unknown stuntman gets no resepect.
-
It had a very proto-Lost vibe to it. (But I just about forgot Brother Justin was in it!)
-
Rumor has it this will be released before the end of next year. The one I want is Brisco County, Jr. though. What the hell does it take to get a Bruce Campbell show on DVD? Hell, where's Anchor Bay on this and Jack of All Trades?
-
I'm not going on the attack here. I'm just curious. You come out with your list of the ten best hourlongs every season. You asked Thomas for some of his favorite hourlongs. What's your beef with 30-minute programs? In my book Arrested Devleopment would be at the top of a list of best television shows on the air today, but by your criteria it wouldn't even be mentioned. Ditto for Scrubs, which would also make my list. Are 30-minute programs that inferior? Do you watch 30-minute programs, or do you just concern yourself with hourlongs? Inquiring minds want to know.
-
Where is battlestar galactica??? I want that first season on dvd damn it!
-
Eando Binder was a pen name for brothers Earl and Otto Binder (E and O, get it?) To really confuse things, Earl and Otto's "I, Robot" was later reprinted in an Asimov edited anthology of classic science fiction.

I need to send them to my brother who's fighting overseas.

Only the first season of THE SOPRANOS was brilliant...
by -guyinthebackrow
The second season was good, but lost a lot of steam. The third season sucked. The last season was okay, but no way near DEADWOOD or the first season. The last season of SIX FEET UNDER was outright bad, while seasons one and two were excellent. OZ was never very good. ENTOURAGE is kinda fun, but let's face it no one would watch it if it was more than a half hour. And Herc, you are crazy if you think that last season of SOPRANOS was the best. Crazy, I say!
-
I got no TV. I got no love. I can only watch the miniseries so many times. Give me a way to get on with my life.
-
Not the movies, the series that ran on ABC in '82. Only 6 friggin' episodes, best comedy of all-time. C'mon Paramount or whoever owns the rights. How hard can it be to put 6 episodes on a DVD these days?
-
Yes!! In my new movies calle d"The Sopranos mett MOOMBA!!" Tony SOprano meets his new therapist... MOOMBA!!! Tony likes to tell mooba abotu all the dagos and kneegars he kills on the wayt o buy sandwiches! MOOMBA responds "OH mr SOprano you are kind of the fat italian FAGGARTS!!!"
Sopranao sex: of you stupid Moomba you~ You are like an aFrican jungle baby named Koonaka!"
Moomba then kicks tony in the balls and jumps out the window!
THE END!
MOOMBA has SPOKEN!!! -
Why the fuck do we have to sift through 2 pages of fucking Amazon.com links to get down to the talkbacks every article these days? I mean jesus christ!

Highlander the Raven - June 14
source - videoeta.com
-
Get with the program guys! These came out ages ago. Still, I wouldn't buy 'em just yet. They may get the super duper treatment the Zone is getting now.
Pull your finger out and release season sets of One Step Beyond and for the love of Maria,... Kolchak. -
Should've been announced months ago. They already have hours of bonus features and commentaries if you just take the shit they have off of scifi.com/battlestar. Does NBC Universal just not want to make money?
-
Battlestar Galactica is available on DVD region 2,4,5 in PAL format and has been for months. There is only deleted scenes as extras on this UK set. But for those people who *just* *can't* *wait* ... ?
-
Herc, I don't know what the deal is. The boxes look the same. I got the first series a long time ago, and it was many months after that before the second season came out. Don't remember the exact dates, but you can gather from the reviews on Amazon that these DVDs came out quite a while before this month.
