ok 1stly io was just using Depp as an example i haven't heard him say he was for the strike or against it. i only mentioned him cause he is as you can tell mentioned QUITE a few times in this thread for obvious reasons. & i'm sure there are some actors & actresses who actually aren't as as succesfull as Depp. take the actors from "Grey's Anotomy" or however ya spell that? the actor who plays George lives in an apartment. & NOT nothing fancy from what i have read. & he's a succesful actor on a hit tv show.  & no i haven't really heard IF he was for the strike either. but than to be honest i really haven't been paying much attention to it either way ya know? & as for the DS film

on the IMDB all i see on that is that it comes out in (2010) which prolly is something that EVERYONE here already knows. but my point is they FINALLY added it to their list of Depp's films!  bout time too IF i do  say so myself ya know? anyways, that's a shame NOTHING NEW was said about the film. i myself have yet to see the (2004) version which is EXTREMLY hard to believe THAT it's been THAT long ya know?

anyways, that's my 2 cents for the time being., hehe

i agree Willie although 1stly let me say that VHS over dvd & The quality is worse. let me reverse that IF you may. i meant to say that Dvd over VHS is of course FAR BETTER. & yes i've seen screen caps of HD DVD films over standard dvd & the quality is a little bit better. buut i also agree it depends on what kind of tv set it's playing on. IF you have a 60 inch tv set than yes i'm sure it does look indeed better. my rents do. i don't though mine is i think 27 inches buut it's wide soo it looks bigger than it's actual size. their tv you put in let's say Law & order & you know how for fans of the show here they letterbox it. & letter boxing a tv show it just stupid IF ya ask me buut that's NOT the   
  issue i was referring to. i was referring to they letterbox MOST tv shows for some ungodly stupid reason & on my rents tv which as i said it's
60 inch. i believe & you can't see the bars. NOT at all. than you put that same episode on my tv & there they are.

  buut i do agree though i think blue-ray is going to fad out sooner or later. it's also stupid that they put insert players into video games. for the games ok i can see that. they are easier to use. i can understand that part. i like the games as dvd's myself to be honest. buut to put one in to play movies. is just absurdly stupid. anyone today has a dvd player. even IF you have no money to live on, you most likely have a dvd player of some kind. ya know?  that's my point. also Willie i agree they should have colorized the b&W episosdes that were shown in color when originally aired. buut it really doesn't matter to me either way. IF one of the reasons was cause it would destroy the qualtiy than i am  THRILLED they choose NOT to do that ya know? buut anyways yes i do agree that Blue-Ray is stupid & SHOULD go out
like a bad fart caught in the wind.

i agree 100% IF memory serves right, i don't think the cast itself, hell even the crew, the writers etc.. themselves thought that in now 42 yrs. the show would be on dvd, tv well at some point anyways, & NEW fans would LOVE it like we do. conventions & so on. even they said they were QUITE surprised when they started doing conventions for just a little tv show. & than there's the people who are obsessed with the film "The P.I Adventure" just a little film about a sinking ship. they do conventions for that, role playing as well. i remember seeing that on tv a few yrs. ago THAT disturbs me to be honest. D.S. i can see cause that had HOW many good story lines

PLUS god knows how many costumes from the different periods as well. PLUS well you see my point i'm getting at i'm sure. anyways, as for dvd's.  ayuh i agree with the format comment. in 20 yrs. i'll be turning 50. & knowing me i'll prolly care but who knows maybe i won't. all dvd's are really IF  you really honestly think about it is just miniture laserdisc's.   Laserdisc's. were the way of the future for HOW LONG? & they had something before that i forget what that was called. buut Laserdisc's  were EXTREMLY EXPENSIVE!  some weren't. buut you go & find "It's a mad mad mad mad world" on laserdisc way back when & that cost i think $60 bucks ? when the dvd itself while it was in print, i don't i don't think it is anymore. buut when it was in print, $15-20 bucks maybe cheaper depending on where you go. buut yes, in short i wonder what will replace
dvd's at some point? my guess is that they prolly will get even SMALLER! what isn't these days ? cell phones are getting for some unknown reasons smaller! i don't understand that myself.  isn't it MUCH HARDER NOW To find your celly than it was 5 or 10 yrs ago? am i right? anyways i'm sorry about rambling on like this. i can at times get carried away. hehe

can you get "Return To Collinwood" on disc in stores? or just onilne? & i forgot that she did that sequel! i havent' seen that one in stores either. buut it HAS been QUITE awhile since i was last in "Borders"

thanxs, i fixed it. i picked the brown color, or whatever ya want to call it. it kinda fits with the site i think. the BEST! 

can you buy these sets in stores? OR just on the website?

THIS is the version that got me hooked on "DS"  i had NEVER even seen the original at the time. just saw the VHS tapes in stores. & my dad making brief mentions of it being on the air for a few years in the 60's. & early 70's, other than that i had NEVER seen it.  me & him were both hooked on it. & than they went & Cancelled it & pissed US OFF cause it left ya's on a cliff-hanger!  i do agree they did RUSH To fast to go back in time. & i remember watching i prefer the standard timeline. just like the 60's show i prefer the standard time line buuut the 1897 of course if my favorite time line, & so is the 1795 one coming in a close 2nd. buut

when i 1st started watching  it in (1998) i think it was? on sci-fi channel the 1st episode THAT they aired was #189 & It took me bloody FOREVER to get into the show cause i had NO CLUE On what was going on. i think they & STILL think they SHOULD have started with episode one. for years i thought THAT was the 1st episode.

least for a couple of years anyways.  MAINLY cause i had no way of finding out otherwise. i had no books nor did i have any sites to find this stuff out. i also had no puter.  & it also took me awhile to get used to it's cast NOT being the (1991) cast. & NOW when i have caught the (1991) cast i have to get used to it's cast as well.

buut in short i STILL think they should bring a NEW version back. buut NOT cram everything together like you said. & find the right director & right script & cast WHO THAT can make a good show ya know? since the last time they tried it i hear it was pretty bad. i HAVE YET to still see it though.
