I'm so annoyed that CBS would show so little respect to the fans!
If I say what I feel like saying right now I'd have to ban myself.
I know, right?!
I wish someone else was distributing the dvds, because half of me is like, "Let's support CBS so they can keep airing cool shows like MacGyver!" But the other half is going, "Let's boycott CBS until they learn to treat their fans right!"

I'm not a huge fan of CBS. Since I've been a fan of MacGyver, I know they only care about their own bottom line... the fact they shut down RDA's MacGyver display for charity pretty much proved that.
The reboot is entertaining, but in comparison, just feels like a soulless cash grab. There's zero depth to it.
The sole reason I'm a fan of MacGyver at all is because the original gave a damn. So the fact that CBS screwed over the US release doesn't surprise me, and I have no desire to spend money on a DVD I don't want.
Better yet, why doesn't CBS give us an HD version of the original? That would be fantastic! They won't though... because CBS sucks...
MacOnline - Most of us are holding back... I know I am. I keep wondering when I'll eventually cross the line and get myself in trouble. XD It's inevitable.

Not sure I've heard about this.... details please?
I may have poorly worded that, but it was that MacGyver display from a couple of years back that you could buy from Legends, and the proceeds when to various charities RDA supported. CBS shut it down because of copy rights...
There was a thread on here from a while ago, but I can't seem to find it now... O_o

Yes it's a continuation of how they treated the original series too, so I shouldn't really be surprised. They had no respect for the show back then and still clearly have none now.

Weird... the link says I don't have permission to view the topic. lol
I've noticed that attitude from CBS though. That's okay... they can keep it up and I'll just boycott them. I'm not a stranger to boycotting companies that I feel have terrible ethics. lol

I honestly have no clue why CBS wouldn't include special features in the U.S. It's not like they didn't release them in other countries. And why did they wait so long to release he dvd in the first place?

I was just thinking last night... If the only difference between the U.K. and U.S. releases was the region coding, wouldn't coding the dvds be the only thing they had to do? I don't know much about this stuff, but wouldn't they have to go to a lot of trouble to remove all the bonus features and stuff? It DID come out several months after the U.K. release. Did they really go to this much trouble just to screw-over their U.S. fans?

From what I heard, PBS sucks with their dvd releases too, cropping out scenes, to get people to subscribe to their website to watch the episodes uncut. I haven't tried watching any MacGyver episodes yet, so I can't say if CBS did any cutting.
Ever notice that both CBS and PBS end with "B.S."? (Please don't hurt me).

I know that it has probably been said but I have to say it. We waited so long for the season 1 DVD and it is a pretty poor excuse for a DVD. No extras. Nothing. Why would a show that films in the US not release the good version of the DVD in the US? And why would it release in other countries first? I hope they do a much better job on the season 2 DVD. I wish there was somewhere to give feedback that CBS actually paid attention to.

Believe me, Cath, they'd better release season 2 differently, or else.

Are you back now, Dash?
At the airport. Flying back soon
I'm used to German DVDs not having the same DVD extras. Hated that during my twilight fandom days... But this is weird. At least they reduced the price for the US version but if there's no extras you don't really need to buy the DVD. You can just buy it as a digital version. Maybe that's what they're banking on. Getting people to buy a CBS all access pass...
There's also still no release date for Germany. I'm curious if there will be extras or not.
