I think that one is coming up on August 11th.

By the way, when will the "picnic" episode air
The cuts backfired on MGM in the end; NoDS bombed at the box office.
Don't forget the security guard walking around all of us
My big concern is the format/price for the whole 13 episodes. I mean, I don't keep track of prices for TV series DVD releases
The extended footage really added to the plot points and atsomphere of the series. The DVD would have disappointed me with their omission.
MB I am a bit surprised by your statement that the WB approved of Alec's performance as Barnabas. Logic would dictate that if an entire filmed pilot is deemed "unsalvageable", that the main character is largely to blame.
Additionally, Rod Labbe reported in the "What Happened" to the WB pilot article, that the WB "disliked Newman's Barnabas". I would have to assume he obtained that information from JP but of course I do not know that.
Gee....isn't it a shame that people who were hoping for the '91 series to be released on DVD ran out and bought (about-to-become-obsolete) VHS copies, because word went out that the series wouldn't BE released on DVD.
I just don't understand the WB's position that the pilot was "unsalvageable". Clearly they must have hated Alec Newman as Barnabas. I thought he could have pulled it off.
Brown was terrible as Elizabeth but perhaps the script instructed her to act in that air-head manner.
Did they complete the missing special effects for the Fest screening, or were some of the fx still missing from the pilot?
