The first season is getting a re-release on single-sided DVDs.


Mill Creek is re-releasing the first season (as well as the second) on DVD July 5th.

That would be a great birthday present to myself, if I didn't already own all the seasons on DVD.

Yes, but as you know that first season used double-sided discs and those were very problematic. So I think it would be worth upgrading to a single-sided release. I know I plan to.

reply

Oh really? That makes me wonder if the discs in the complete series are flippers or single sided.

reply

According to a review on Amazon those are all single-sided discs.

I have the complete series box set that came out last year and they are single sided. And they include the later TV movies. The only thing that I was disappointed in was the quality of the episodes. They look exactly like the ones you'd find on tv with all its graininess, lines, scratches, etc! They definitely didn't go to the master films/ tapes for these. But they are the complete episodes with bonus features!

Yeah, that's honestly why I haven't bought the series, I just can't go back to SD after seeing it in 1080p on Netflix.

It does look so good on there. I just hope it stays there forever because it's not on blue ray and it looked like sd last time I checked on hulu.

Mill Creek is releasing the complete series of Knight Rider on Blu-ray so maybe they will do the same for The Rockford Files.

That's good, the old set didn't play right.

here in Australia we just got remastered dvds! they look real good.

Just picked up the repackaged/single-sided season one dvd set. I held out getting it for years previously because I didn't want the double-sided set. I have already twice replaced my double-sided dvds of Kolchak: the Night Stalker because of skipping/playback issues.
