Re: Re: Defective

I have seen "Double Exposure" once, and I didn't
see it, I watched once "Any Old Port" and there
was a small problem near the beginning when Carsini
says "may our enemies never be as happy as we are", but a second playing didn't do it.

Re: Defective

I had a problem with my set on Any Old Port.. It broke up when he was using the payphone to call re: the weather. I went back and just swapped the first disc and everything is now fine with the set.

Universal is now using DVD 18s (dual layered, dual sided) discs for their TV shows. I have had problems with many of them (Quincy, McCloud, Miami Vice, Murder She Wrote) and so have other people. (Look at the Amazon reviews of these sets as well as threads at thehometheaterforum.com.) Since it is likely that Universal will continure to use DVD 18s, I suggest people try to view their sets ASAP.

I think we need to send Columbo to investigate Universal's DVD media!

Re: Defective

That sounds like a good idea, John, getting Columbo on the case!
Look...we waited all this time for the dvds to be released...and they are released without "extras"..unless you consider Mrs. Columbo an extra!!!!......could they at least have a decent quality????

Re: Re: Defective

I believe that it is not right when you shell out $35 for any DVD and it is defective, I have Columbo Season One and two and yet to have three third season. I plan to wait until whoever makes the dvd''s fix this problem.

I think ther are hecho en mexico

Re: Defective

I didn't quite get your last sentence Damian......but I agree...wait a bit to get season 3.

Re: Re: Defective

Hecho en Mexico translates to English simply as
Made In Mexico. Sorry I used my first language which is Spanish

Re: Defective

That's ok Damian....I took Spanish in high school for 4 years...I got straight A's .....but I don't regularly use the language so I missed what you said...sorry

Re: Defective

Annoying. On my MAGNUM P.I. Season 1 set, a whole episode and the last half of another are completely inaccessible. If anybody else has that set I'm curious if they have the same problem.
