The_Doctor posted:I can’t imagine NBC aren’t already starting up the printing presses. They're leaving money on the table if they don't. But of course an official product will have, at the very least, a bit of copyright text on it somewhere, and probably a UPC too. Better to make your own screen-accurate prop replica. Fire up your... thing that prints 12x24 full-bleed full-colour double-sided pages and get to assembling! 7 physical sheets, each double-sided, final folded size of 12x12" I strongly suggest using AdBlock on this site.

Exactly how this show has always done it. I’m taking this opportunity to say that 30 Rock is finally coming to Blu-ray in April.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og0WTK4sobY![]() Podcast: The final installment of the 3-part series of fan interviews was put online today. It’s been really charming listening to people from all over the world discuss the show and its impact on their lives. Here are a few video highlights from each of the episodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-z-P6VuhFs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN-TCi0H6iI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTjMADDzyeI ![]() Blu-ray: The UK S3 doesn’t have extended episodes, boo. But Shout! Factory is releasing the complete series on Tuesday (May 19)! From what I can tell, it will have the proper versions of S01E01 and S01E13, no idea if there will be any extended versions of S4. No extended cuts have been made available to stream, there may be an embargo for a bit until the Blu-ray’s been out for a while. It’s relatively cheap at $50-ish, if you value physical media at all I implore you to vote with your dollar and show Shout! and NBC that there’s a market yet for physical media. Because you can bet TGP is going behind the Peacock paywall soon, along with 30 Rock (also recently released on Blu-ray,) Parks and Recreation, The Office, et al. Signage: A teacher on Reddit made this and it’s so ![]() ![]() quote:Made a sign for our front door! It’s pretty simple, but I thought that was in step with the show. And I know the point levels are a little high, but that’s how excited we get when packages arrive...and how annoyed we get when the dogs bark continuously. And finally, Sunday was National Shrimp Day. Here’s hoping you had a safe one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddaj0G07sG4

The_Doctor posted:Might not have all the extended cuts? Not all, sadly. The show is a story told in 53 Chapters, and although most of these Chapters are individual episodes, there are a few instances where two Chapters are presented in one double-length episode. For the sake of clarity, unless otherwise specified, I will refer to units of The Good Place as Chapters, multiples of which are sometimes housed within a single episode. I will also number them 1-53, rather than their numbers within seasons. Got it? Let's go. The Bad Stuff I'm getting this out of the way first, as I've only three complaints about this set, and there's a lot of Good Stuff to get to. Sadly, NBC and Shout! Factory dropped the ball in the matter of Chapters 1, 2, 12, and 13. Just like their earlier S1 DVD release, these Chapters are presented as the double-length episodes that originally aired on NBC, rather than the discrete episodes that were briefly available for streaming, and that are on the UK S1 Blu-ray set. It is very disappointing that the extended versions of Chapters 1 and 13 are not in this set, as Shout! had them listed individually on their own site when they announced the set, and it means that, since to my knowledge there is no where to stream these versions, you still (sigh) need the UK Blu-ray of season 1 to see them. And a player which can play Region B discs, of course. The second Bad Thing is technical. The discs were a bit buggy in my player, especially the bonus features disc, which I had to reboot after every video because it would lock up when it came time to return to the main menu. We have taken the good authoring houses for granted. It feels like it was made by someone trying to hack their way through Adobe Encore (I should know, as I have hacked my way through Adobe Encore.) But players vary, so too may your mileage. Thankfully the bulk of these woes is relegated to disc 9. The rest (mostly) work fine, barring a slight error where, when I let the main menu loop 4 or 5 times, the buttons, and ability to highlight buttons, just... disappeared. This is easily remedied by getting to it sooner than later, but it's still sloppy-rear end authoring. And finally, the five episodes (eight Chapters) which are broadcast-length, have the broadcast credits. Meaning the credits run over the final seconds of the show, rather than having their own screen. This looks trashy, and one of the reasons I buy physical media is to have the clean, "real" version of a show. This is obviously my personal peeve, but I wanted to mention it. Thankfully, the finale, despite being broadcast length, has the credits on their own screen, which is also how the finale streamed online. The Good Stuff Everything else! Let's start again with extended Chapters. Besides the aforementioned Chapters 1, 2, 12, and 13, the rest of season 1 is all here, and all extended, as they were originally available streaming for a short time back in 2017. Season two originally had streaming versions of all but four Chapters, two of which (14 and 15) were in a double-length episode, but now the other two (16 and 22) are extended. Season three again starts off with a double-length, two-Chapter episode, which again is the same as when it aired on NBC, but the remaining 11 Chapters are all extended! This is notable as NBC only ever put the last 5 episodes of season 3 online as extended. And season 4 has 12 of its 14 Chapters in extended form, but those last 2 Chapters were of course in an extended form when they broadcast, so there's nothing to add. Sometimes these are only extended by as little as about 30 seconds, but hey, it's (almost) all here. These extended runtimes also include the 50-ish seconds that the credit rolls take, and for season 3 and 4, the 3-second "NBC Presents" ident. In the most severe example, Chapter 4, the runtime is 22:33. Take off the credit roll, and that leaves roughly ten (10!!) seconds of extra content ![]() It should be noted that the Blu-ray content mirrors the individual season DVD sets from Shout! Factory, but now it's all in HIIII DEFFFFffff And yes, ALL of it in high definition. I was not expecting the bonus features to be in HD, but they are! Actually it's hard to hell for certain if the table read of "Mindy St. Clair" is HD or not, owing to the low quality of the footage, but the gag reels, VFX featurettes, and other goodies are all definitely presented in glorious 1080p. Everything from the 4 season DVD sets is here, plus the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con panel and the Seth Meyers-hosted finale after show, both exclusive to this set. Important note: Besides the whole S1 debacle, the other double-length episodes, to my knowledge, were never presented anywhere as individual Chapters, or in extended form. The Packaging It's nothing to write home about, but it gets the job done, and it's not grody like some budget sets that stack the discs in a cake. It's a nice 9-disc Elite case, one hub for each disc, inside a slipcover. The slipcover is matte finish, with no spot gloss or embossing or foil or anything else special. The inner print has the episode titles, but no descriptions. There is a small hype sticker on the slipcover. How does it compare to the previous releases? Shout! Factory's DVD sets have the exact same content, except the Comic-Con and Seth Meyers bits, and in SD. The only value they have, for me, is the artwork, and the episodes each have the original description, including S3's finale "Pandemonium," that classic: "Various events occur, in a certain specific order." I'm also particular to the season-specific artwork. I've never been partial to big series sets, but that's how TV on home media is done nowadays, so there's no getting around it. It's not worth spending the money on, but as I already have them, I'm hesitant to get rid of them... but I'm mentally ill. Regular people, feel free to pass them up, you're getting lots more with Shout!'s Blu-ray. The UK has the first three seasons currently, and will presumably have S4 by early next year. S1 has been covered as being worthwhile. S2 is missing two Chapters (16, 22) in extended form, which are on the Shout! releases. I don't have S3 but reviews on Amazon indicate that, inexplicably, it has NO extended episodes. If I still had my downloads of those two extended episodes from S1, or was able to rip from Blu-ray, I'd just make them available to y'all, as NBC apparently doesn't care enough to do so in any form, physical or streaming, stateside. The Final Verdict Buy it. If you have $20 to spare and a player that can play it, import the UK S1 set as well. It sucks that Shout! and NBC failed on that front, but it's slightly appropriate; after all, what is more human than to take something perfect, and then ruin it just a little? Yeah, my not-so-inner Karen wants to speak to your manager and not reward NBC with my dollars for an imperfect product, but it's 2020 and we're loving lucky to get this at all, so whatever. There's a pandemic. The president is actively seeking out doctors who'll lie on TV. The CDC has been pressured by the regime to change their guidelines. The GOP is spending millions to recruit polling monitors, the first time since the early 80s that this has been allowed. The world is on fire and in our country, the absolute worst people are shredding the hose, while the second-worst people just ratfucked the only person who could have defeated them, and propped up a senile corporatist into the nomination to lose. In the aggregate, none of this Blu-ray poo poo actually matters. Buy it, enjoy it, try not to be too sad with your time on Earth. So anyway. Here are the all the running times.

The_Doctor posted:Huh, so in theory, a UK complete set might be more complete than the US one, presuming they use the same discs... No, as I said, S2 is missing two extended episodes, and S3, none of them are extended. Only S1 has #content available nowhere else. There is a French release, but I’ve done no research whatsoever into the matter. Perhaps those French discs are the Valhalla we crave.
