Dynasty: The Sixth Season

"Hello To The Carringtons!"
Paramount will be releasing the complete sixth season of "Dynasty" on DVD in a 2 pack set on July 3, 2012. Fans can either purchase each pack with 15 episodes each or buy both DVD packs together which will house the season's full 30 episodes. The sets will unfortunately have no bonus features.

The sixth season of "Dynasty" (1985-1986) was an amazing year as it started with the outcome of the show's biggest cliffhanger: "Who survived the Moldavia Massacre?". There are two deaths and I won't saw who they are. This was the year too that Joan Collins received a substantial pay hike making $100,000 per episode making her, at that time, the highest-paid actress on network U.S. television. Contract talks between Joan and ABC broke down during the summer of '85 so bad that she actually is missing fom the very first episode. Thankfully, ABC caved in and gave Joan what she wanted.

What season 6 is known for was "The Colbys", "Dynasty's spin-off that starred John James,...

Surprised and thrilled!!!
After owning the uk set released a year ago.I was expecting the North american set to look the same using the washed out film to tape they aired back in 86.To my surprise it seem's they ethier remastered it or found the original film because it look's amazing! The picture is clear and vibrant.It's mystery why the uk did'nt get this the first time around but kudo's to CbS for making the effort.This being my favorite season i can now enjoy it the way it was supposed to look.For 30 year old show this look's even better than season 5!

Excellent Picture/Sound Quality
Just got my Season 6 DVDs, and I am thrilled to report that the picture and sound quality are excellent. The quality is so good in fact, that if you weren't aware that the season was filmed in 1985, you might think it was filmed within the last few years (unlike seasons 1-3, which definitely have a late 70's-early 80's feel).

I am thoroughly happy with my set, in spite of the high price we are forced to pay.

Yay!!! Finally!!
Well, it took years, but they are finally getting ready to release the remaining Melrose DVDs. So happy that they are releasing Volumes 1 and 2 at the same time!

Always on the edge of your seat!
What I love about Melrose is that anything can happen...anytime! The twists and turns, particularly the ending is amazing! What a phenomenal series!

All Of The Melrose Place Season Are Great And The Final Season Gives The Show A Good Ending.
Most Shows Toward The End Run Out Of Good Stories But Melrose Place Never Missed A Beat. Always Lots Of Surprises.

Dexter: The Sixth Season

One of the best dexter seasons, but don't buy this.
This is probably the best season of dexter I've watched besides season 4. The storylines are varied and it felt very fresh. I would recommend anyone that's a fan watch this season. With that being said, don't buy this product.

The only problem is that showtime decided to spoil the ending to the season in the unskippable preview at the start of the DVD. How anyone with a brain decided this was a good plan is beyond me. The only logical conclusion is that no one at showtime possesses any brain whatsoever.

Here's a note about your fans, Showtime. Not all of them subscribe to your channel. So, putting the finale in the preview of the content I *just* bought along with other shows they may or may not care about and making it unskippable is beyond stupid.

I should've read the reviews, since many people seem to have noticed this as well. But, I didn't think I needed to since I was already convinced I was going to buy this product.

I won't be buying...

PLEASE READ if you like Dexter
My husband and I are both huge fans of Dexter. We pre-ordered the DVDs for this season as soon as we were able.

Unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy this season. When you insert each of the 4 DVDs in this box set, you are forced to watch a 2 minute ad for Showtime. You are not able to skip the ad on any of the DVDs, and are forced to sit through it as it displays a number of Showtime shows. It even includes an ad for the sixth season of Dexter...

The ad for Dexter is only about 6 seconds long. Interestingly, the marketing team at Showtime thought it would be nice to show THE LAST SIX SECONDS OF THE SEASON YOU'RE ABOUT TO WATCH! It ruined the entire season before we even got a chance to watch it. I have sent a letter to Showtime iterating this blatant oversight. I will update this review if/when I receive a response from them.

Update 9/2:
I received a response from Showtime. They thanked me for informing them of the error, but did not...

Who's the IDIOT at Showtime?!
I loved this 6th season of Dexter, but who is the IDIOT, the MORON that decide to put all the Showtime ads on the front of each disc that you CAN NOT escape out of, you CAN NOT skip through, you CAN NOT FAST FORWARD through that you are forced to watch in order to get to the main menu and then to include in that montage quite LITERALLY the LAST shot of the final episode of Dexter's 6th season. HOW STUPID ARE YOU?!!!

Perry Mason: The Seventh Season, Vol. 1

Bad sound, avoidable errors
Hello, I have only watched three episodes of this instalment so far, but I have noticed poor sound quality (brittle, harsh). Also, the credits on Episode 1 are from another episode and the order of the episodes on this first disk are out of sequence (Episode 2 on the disk was actually Episode 4 when it originally ran). Given that we pay a premium price for just half a season, I find second-rate quality unacceptable. Boo to CBS.

Bad sound engineering :-(
This set continues the generally splendid remastering and restoration of the wonderful Perry Mason series, which is as much fun decades later as I remember it being when it was new. All highly recommended.

But starting with this set (and I hope it's not a trend), the sound engineering as taken a terrible turn. (1) The sound frequently has a brittle, hard-edged quality that makes some of the actors' voices truly unpleasant. (2) Even worse, the difference in volume between the spoken dialogue and the (wonderfully melodramatic) musical "commentary" is so huge that you can't leave the volume on a single setting through the episode. Who decided that the musical soundtrack had to be BLASTING in an otherwise acoustically rather demure soundtrack (which would be appropriate for the historical period). I'm not overdoing authenticity here -- I'm complaining about unnecessary physical discomfort, and annoyance at having to fiddle with volume multiple times during an episode...

Still the standard
Intelligent writing and superb acting made this series the standard by which all courtroom/crime drama is measured to this day. Noir enthusiasts will appreciate the intricate and ever shifting plots coupled with intense drama that will draw you in quickly and not let you go. From the moment I hear the opening music I am drawn in and held to the end.
