Will this ever be released on DVD?


I really want this on DVD.
I think it is extremely pathetic that it is not on DVD yet.
I REALLY REALLY want this show.
Common... I see plenty of stupid shows that make it to dvd.
Why cant they put this awesome show out there too?


Of 3 things I am certain:
1) Edward Cullen is Mine!!!!!!!
2) eh... who cares about the rest

reply

Yeah, I also want this on DVD, preferably all three seasons in the one box set. SO HOW ABOUT IT, PARAMOUNT??????????

So do I.
The rips are from spike TV most of them.
Picture is very good on most but they are the odd few that are not so good.

I agree. This was one of my fav shows... and it's not on DVD yet. There are some shows that after 5 episodes get cancelled and their DVDs see the store shelves. I mean come on! Is there a petition to get this show on DVD?
I've been checking http://tvshowsondvd.com/ and nothing...

Those are ripped from the TV and therefore illegal.

I would like to see an authorized set of DVDs though. That would be cool, and I might even buy a set (usually I take the tv series dvds out from the library 'cause they're so insanely expensive)

reply

Sorry to bump this old thread, but..

If it's not available legally, then the illegality of finding it otherwise is a stupid-ass law.

If you're going to go about getting it illegally, you might as well download it from torrents instead of paying some guy that burned them to DVD.

reply

Completely agree, I want this to be released. In the UK, BBC2 showed about 4 episodes to fill space at 2am, but then cut it again.
Anywhere to watch it free online (Don't want to download anything and break the law)?

When I watch old episodes on tape, I realize that this show included a lot of well-known music on the soundtrack. Because no one who produced tv shows back in the 90s expected shows to be sold as seasons on dvd, no one contracted with the musicians and record companies about how dvd royalties would be shared, if anyone will allow the music to be played on dvd, etc. Because of these issues, it is often difficult to get shows from the 90s with lots of popular music that are not expected to sell in very large volume onto dvd. I assume that this is what is happening with Seven Days.

reply

If so that is a poor reason to leave fans in the cold.
I am sure they can replace the music if they have to.
But I really Really wanna see this on DVD :(

reply

I didn't notice this but that is the reason Cold Case, which is much more popular than 7 Days has never got a DVD Release.

The rips from BAM-VCD aren't very good quality as they're so old and jerky. But it's better than nothing, I might start watching the entire show again.

Bauer vs. Bourne, that is the question.

reply

Correctamundo! That's exactly why Seven Days might not be on DVD anytime soon, and NO OTHER REASON but that (plus others.)

reply

The musicians would be smart to give them the rights for free or a very low fee, because it would open up their music to a whole new audience, especially if the DVD gave credit in the subtitles.

reply

As Infinity8 replied above, the record companies and musicians might be just the starting point to get approvals for the music.

One (fictional) example that is somewhat on point is an example of a show that used a Beatles' song... Sounds easy enough, but if memory serves me correctly, Paul McCarthy of the Beatles was outbid by Michael Jackson for the rights to ALL the Beatles music. As we should all know, Michael died. Assuming he had a well written will, and it has been probated properly, and that he split things between his children and their mother, their approvals would be required for any use of the Beatles' song. In this case, the children are minors, and MAY have/had seperate guardians from their mother for legal matters.

See how quickly this becomes complicated for JUST ONE song?

What if he willed a fractional portion of those rights to a charity as well as just his family? The charity probably would have a board of directors required to approve usage. It is highly doubtful they would convene a meeting just to consider such a request, and if it is an incorporated charity, a board meeting is required once per year, (or more often by their incorporation).

Never underestimate the complications of "shared ownership" either.
A historic district property nearby was inherited equally by four (adult) children. Two wanted to sell, two wanted it for other use. Making the story short, that deadlock ended up with the property ruined from lack of upkeep, then condemned and razed by the city - with the bill for the fines, demolition, and clearing sent to the heirs...
It took about 20 years to replace a book I loaned out before the heirs settled the estate and it was reprinted!

reply

Royalties for popular music is what I heard was keeping "Malcolm in the Middle" from being released on DVD as well. All we got was season 1.

reply

Why not just edit it and remove the songs and replace them with generic music? it may nto soudn as good to some, btu I'd not mind at least, and its nto liek editing these things is impossible.

reply

I've bought box sets of series where they replaced the songs with royalty-free ones, and I ended up taking them back for a refund.

reply

I would buy this in a second if available legally!

This is a blues riff in B, watch me for the changes, and uhh... try to keep up

reply

I agree, I have been waiting a long time for its release. I have been looking around and found only ones recorded from tv. I wish to keep this post alive in hopes that one day the studio would release a DVD set and I would like everyone to get their credit that they deserve.

When more people are interested maybe one day it might just happen.

Just like MacGyver's TV Movies, it was long wait, but they came through...

reply

Do you know if it is on youtube or any video online?

reply

Yes, there's an awful lot of it on YouTube.

reply

But being on physical DVD with making-ofs etc would be great
