The Monkees complete TV show on Blu-ray box set.

Ok, with that last post being a downer,

True.
But I digress , the 2011 dvd sets look GREAT, maybe it’s my OPPO 103 up converting it! All I know is I have NO issues with the DVD’s.

Wow, my taped off TV VHS EP mode video tapes looked better than the DVDs to me. The restored blu-rays are amazing.

 

you must have had a defective set...no way the DVDs looked that bad. : )

 

I had to look that up.


That must be a high-end Blu-ray player. Looks nice.

 

Perhaps it's partly that the blu-rays looked that GOOD. The DVDs did disappoint me very much though, a lot of dirt on the frames, colours often dull...

 

fair enough...I can see where you are coming from...BD can be stunning at times.

 

The OPPO'S are Overkill decks. There are Threads galore here about the legacy of the machines. Their last one they made, the 205 originally sold for $1300, if you can find one now, their $5000 give or take a bit.
Watched a couple more episodes from disc one, Looks Great. Even my younger wife started watching it with me!

Be glad then you got the BluRay set!!
But for the majority of us, the DVD sets are the only realistic option now.
And who knows what the future holds with this debacle. But with the main Monkees Guy on the outs with Rhino's new management, it sure don't look good.
Plus, if they DID dump the discs and un assembled pieces, they get to write that off as a lose on their business taxes. Cutting their loss.
So, enjoy what you can. I am!

What did your older wife think of it?

 

Maybe a 4K Blu-ray version of the episodes is in progress at Rhino? Just wishful thinking.

 

That one got bored and went to watch 'Love Island' on the other TV.

Thank you to @tdcrjeff marathon re-airing of The Monkees tv series.

Where to watch

Check your state for availability!

 

Another BluRay set sold for $700 yesterday on eBay!
Amazing.

wonder if they trashed the remaining BD and artwork?

 

I'm working my way through season 2 and have a question about the standout scene of Mickey doing "Goin' Down".

Is he singing/scatting "Hep hep..." or "Help help..."?

Hep hep... seems more "cool" in the context of the James Brown-inspired performance, but Help help... is more in line with the perilous situation the singer finds himself in.

 

I sure hope not...

I wish someone would light a fire under their a** and get them scouring their warehouse(s) for the remaining stock...

 

it's been years... I doubt we'll hear anything more from Rhino about the box...It's over...BUT I hope I am wrong.

 

Maybe with Nesmith's passing they are looking more closely at releasing Monkee products.

... one can hope

 

They can use some malarkey marketing strategy and say they're selling it in celebration of the 55th anniversary of the TV series' second season debuting in 1967. They can use my idea, no charge

 

One of the rhino guys— John Harris?— commented on a zilch FB post with a hint that something is coming

 

Do you mean John Hughes?

 

Yes

 

I'll take any idea if it offers us a chance to buy what we missed the first time...Indeed...come on Rhino!

 

yes! that would be a good reason to awaken the Monkees Complete Blu-ray box set...come on Rhino!
