not in stores ill try getting it from them if not then good old ebay

[Zaranyzerak]

@brollicon Links are in the description.

I'm no expert on rights on video/audio being licensed for release, but might they not have been able to edit from the master tapes based on the deal they got for the rights for distribution?

[Zaranyzerak]

@Selcath I suppose that's a possibility, but given that it was such a GLARING error I'm sure they could have arranged something if that was the case.

[LiveFastDiarrhea]

SHOUT! SELECT sucks, because as a German I'm fucked. What a bad idea by Shout!Factory.

[Zaranyzerak]

@LiveFastDiarrhea Not at all, you can still get them through amazon or ebay, just not through the Shout Factory website.

[Zaranyzerak]

@cshewel Oh, I've tried! Shout Factory is actually one of the few companies I have a pretty nice relationship with. We're on a first name basis. I've helped them out with a number of releases, not just by doing reviews, but by assisting with research, providing copies of old commercials, etc. In return, I get the occasional review copy of stuff. But alas, no job offers...

[David315842]

@David315842 Oh and good work with finding out the error about that 66th episode, 65 does make more sense. :D

[David315842]

Oh here's an important factoid about Len Carlson (he will be missed bless him), the voice of Big Boss (and Herc stormsailor in Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors). You probably knew about the Marvel animated series for Robocop, well in one episode 'Scrambler', he is played by Len Carlson, who uses the same voice as Big Boss from COPS. Even for a great guy like Len, he was bound to re-use certain voices at some point, every actor does. :D

[David315842]

Oh check out Cookie Jar's Jaroo website where they have loads of these shows avaliable to watch online with a proposed scheme for paid downloads to happen, so you could get all of C.O.P.S. in downloaded form..but we'll see I guess.

[David315842]

Hmmm DiC shows tend to have quite a few sound problems it seems. Deary me! Also notice that the DiC shows are now owned by Cookie Jar Entertainment, that may have delayed Shout Factory putting out the second set a little bit.

[Carnage6X]

I'm pretty sure the audio was fixable. I think the problem comes from Shout's limited funds. As you said, they were trying to cut costs so they really don't have the budget to re-issue a flawed disc. They just made up the excuse to cover that fact.

[Selcath]

@Zaranyzerak Yeah, I can see where you are coming from. I just wanted to say it might for what ever reason been out of their hands.
