DVD Day

[filkertom]

Not much at all today, apart from Torchwood: The Complete First Season. Seasons of The Odd Couple, Barney Miller, ER, Hawaii-Five-Oh, and Banacek, if you want any of those.

However.

Either May 6 or 8 -- seems to be kinda up in the air -- all you collectors who didn't snag it the first time around will be able to get your hands on a reasonably priced copy of the hitherto-exceedingly-rare DVD of MST3K: The Movie.

Thanks to gorn_captain posting in mst3k for the heads-up.

Which MST3K episodes do you have on disk? And which do you want?

Oh, by the way, Banacek was one of the detective stories that marked a big change in TV. It was after the assassinations, and the censors felt they had to make a deal. So, for very reduced violence, they kind of turned a blind eye to sexual content.

For the first time, you could actually imply, in a prime time series, the idea that single adults might be having sex with one another. Willingly. Having fun doing so. Without guilt afterwards.

As a guy who would not "get any" for another decade, that was astonishing and pleasing to me. It might not seem very revolutionary to people today, but it was like an atom bomb in the TV of the time.

Ah, so that was when it happened. I've been maundering about this general subject in my own LJ. Thank you!
