I have to kinda agree that hopefully they'll upload the HD to streaming.  Now that I think about, it almost makes sense why after all these years, they removed MacGyver from Netflix and it hasn't returned.  Maybe they wanted to update it first?


They make more money from having it on their own streaming service than they do from Netflix.

Everything CBS does is to make money. No matter what they do, or how silly it might seem, you can guarantee there's a money reason behind it.

Of course that applies ot all the networks, not just CBS.

ahhhh so you think CBS will only have HD on their own streaming service? like Star Trek Discovery? I HATE all these subscriptions - there are too many!

I wonder when we'll hear about a next release.... or whether streaming services will get HD.... I'm not sure they have a great reason to drag out the releases?

They dragged the release for the Season 1 Reboot DVD for a year, so this is nothing tongue.gif

I'm curious as well when they'll announce S2. I think they could profit better from it if they release it as long as the Reboot is still airing and throwing the name of MacGyver onto social media every week.

I do wonder though if they will bring out a boxset of all the seasons next year for the 35th anniversary, maybe even with extras or is that just wishful thinking on my part?! blink.gif

We don't know. There's been no information about the other seasons yet.

I wish they would hurry up and tell us though.

Ordered the boxset (in french of course ^^ but I'll be watching it in English too ^^) and can't wait to have it in my hands!

Concerned by what I read though, I really hope they will release the other seasons...

Dear Friends,

Yesterday evening I HAD A BLAST!

I watched the first two episodes on the blu-ray edition, and I must say it so nice to watch this beloved show in such good quality.

The only concern I have is about certain parts of the show being a little bit too "reddish", but, apart from that, I love the new transfer so far!

I also "feel" that the french audio is of a less good quality than the original one, how do you feel about that? Is anyone of you, like me, a French guy? I would be really happy if one of you could answer me on that specific point biggrin.gif

I honestly think that I'm going to watch this boxset over and over...

For me it was like seeing the episodes for the first time again. The clear pictures certainly make a HUGH difference.

I really wish they would release the other seasons.

Salut, d’accord avec toi sur le côté « rougetre » mais en saison 2 je pense que c’est pire... peut-être avec le Blu-ray ça va être un peu mieux, on verra bien quand ça va sortir... Pour l audio je ne sais pas encore car pas trop regarder des épisodes, je viens d avoir le coffret, mais à première vue, pour les 2 seuls épisodes que j’ai vu, RAS, mais je vais tendre un peu plus l oreille et je te dirais mon sentiment sur l audio...

Hi, agree with you on the “reddish” side but in season 2 I think it's worse ... maybe with the Blu-ray it will be a little better, we'll see when it comes out. .. For the audio I do not know yet because not too much watching episodes, I just had the box set, but at first glance, for the only 2 episodes I saw, nothing to report, but I will stretch a little more. ear and I'll tell you my feeling on the audio ...

Lucky already of the replay, and especially the HD quality, I hope the whole series will be broadcast in HD.

I've been watching season 6 on amazon streaming and it never has looked so good, really great HD. I've got the DVDs, which IMO look awful, with muted colors and all so grey and dead, but in streaming the colors look vibrant and the whole thing comes alive. I even enjoyed "tough boys" s6e01, IMO a terrible episode, but to see this in HD its truly like watching it for the first time, and also the sound is terrific. Love it,

So if they have the entire series, all 7 seasons in HD and stereo for streaming, why not release a bluray set? I dont get it

Money.

Selling a Bluray set is a one-time profit. Selling it to other studios and networks is a continuous profit for as long as they want to air the show. This is the main reason they converted - to future proof their product.


Also when they released the first season on DVD everyone bitched and whinged about it only being 1 season and didn't buy it so the bean counters at CBS saw is as a low profit project and deemed it as a waste of time releasing any further seasons or as a full series.

thanks for the explanation

I guess I'll have to download those amazon episodes (not sure how) and then burn them into Blu-rays to make my own set, since realistically its not very likely they will ever release the entire series on BR, though millcreek tends to do these kind of things from time to time (knight rider, miami vice, magnum?)
