The Future of Physical Media

[Doh!]

Segeorge, thanks much for posting that link! I feel better now, knowing that the DVDs include the original cuts. I'd still like to own the added footage, though. Who knows when NBC will drop the series from their site?

On a related note, here's a nice interview with Serling on The Dick Cavett Show discussing Night Gallery:

Night Gallery has an interesting syndication history. Some of the segments were edited and others had material inserted to achieve the runtime for a 30 minute slot. And, of course, episodes of The Sixth Sense were edited down to fit the timeslot with Serling's added intros. Considering those Sixth Sense episodes are included on the NBC website linked, it's probable that these are the syndicated versions and that the war footage at the beginning of the episode was added for the syndication package. That's what the second post here indicates.

Thanks for the info.  That does seem to make sense.

I don't want to hijack this media thread, so I put some additional information about the Sixth Sense paintings in the Night Gallery thread:

Yes and no.

They are having somebody else issue their Warner Archives movies for them.  OK with me.  The last few made-on-demand titles I ordered through Amazon took a l-o-n-g time to get to me.  Maybe someone else will do a better job.

Funny, Warners did such a good job earlier on.  They would put out "night at the movies" versions of some movies with short subjects, cartoons and radio dramas of the movies included.  And the big set they did of all the restored Charlie Chan movies on DVD is really great - with commentaries and before and after restorations examples, etc.

They cared at one time.
