I am wondering either who I can contact about the restored seasons, or where I can get them. My wife and daughter just started watching the series together and my wife says it’s not the same with the “new” music. Also, the video quality is pretty terrible.
Thanks!

It’s interesting cause Smallville had like 500 something songs in its first few seasons and as far as I know they were all intact (I know it’s Warner though but still)
Honestly it doesn’t surprise me Universal replaced the music, cause this is a “less popular” show to them unfortunately
What type of music?
What’s NBC Rewind?
The TV show?
It’d be interesting to get a 35mm scan cause apparently some minor cuts still happened when the movie came to home video
According to the IMDB, there was a crew reflection digitally removed before it hit home video, and an audio change in one scene.

Old but that boom mic removal applies to specifically the original R-rated US DVD release, it had a few “tweaks” done to it to accommodate for it being open matte
Whenever the movie finally got a widescreen DVD release the alterations were gone
Not too sure about the audio cause both the soundtrack (which I hear is uncensored) and the movie sounded exactly the same in the scene they’re referring to
What aspect ratio is it in?
Sadly idk what to do considering I don’t know much about this show
I could probably do a composite edit of this. There’s one thing, footage-wise, that’s exclusive to the ABC version, a different thing with Shannon Hamilton on the screen at the end. Other than that I could just take the sections of dubbed audio and re-cut the extended cut to match the ABC cut. I have it recorded SLP on a VHS tape, along with the edited-for-TV Clerks (which features only two visual censors, and drops out every curse word). I don’t really have the time to work on a composite of it right now, but maybe in a few months I will.
Could You Send Me The Clerks Tv Edit. Been Wanting To Really Watch That One.
Arrow’s blu-ray release has it even though instead of 4x3 it’s in its theatrical ratio, including the SD inserts
@SpacemanDoug In some episodes like Inspector Gadget and The Garbage Pail Kids, some scenes have been spliced out due to a copyright claim. I will take different versions of those episodes and add those scenes back in.
I do remember one alteration in the Nostalgiaween episodes whenever they parodied the X-Files intro, it wasn’t there before but eventually they replaced the X-Files theme tune with some crappy substitution cause of a claim (ex. The Haunting)
Wait there are scenes missing?
Hi, I’m really interested in more information about the 90210 DVDs you two have remade with the original music. Can you tell me how I can get a copy myself?
They’re digital copies not physical disks
restorations of Junkman and Deadline just got shared to MySpleen
Unfortunately, if you’re not on MySpleen, you’re kind of SOL 😦.
If you want them I can PM you an alternative
Sadly no one has sent me a laserdisc rip for Teen Wolf
I haven’t heard anything about the DVD though so it’s possible it isn’t incorrectly pitched
Unfortunately these DVD releases on their own have some changes, though this is also the first home video release to have the original 1977 title crawl in the first movie
A lot of sound effects though mostly minor were added for the 1993 masters, one notable one was during the shootout in the prison cells glass breaking sounds were added whenever monitors were shot at
I do know for a fact that the blu-ray of Teen Wolf is incorrectly pitched, not sure if the DVD has the same issue
Also I will say that the remix for Animal House is indeed quite annoying, but at least it has the original songs cause I know one of the DVD releases changed a bunch of them (I think the double secret probation edition)
I’m surprised Warner Archive has yet to get involved
What exactly was changed in the first scene???
Don’t know necessarily the first scene
I do know at the end when the Warden shoots himself the wound was digitally shifted to fix a continuity error
I think there was another change as well when that one guy is shot by the sniper, it was changed to four shots instead of two supposedly, though without getting a VHS version I can’t really confirm anything. Based on the way it’s edited it’s possible it was always 4 shots in the US release but cut in the UK to two
Yall might be interested by this!
If you are wondering about the changes made to The Shawshank Redemption!

Since this is getting a 4K release I wonder if they’ll still be there
Shouldn’t this thread be in the Fan Edits of Other Properties subforum?
yes it should be
also three different versions are included on the official 4K release of the movie, the ABC versions simply took the various different scenes from the theatrical and 1980 special edition versions and combined them together (sans some of the alternative theatrical material)
I believe someone already made this fan edit a while ago
Does anyone happen to know if the DVD has the same issues?
Idk what you’re talking about regarding DNR on the MGM BD cause from what I’ve seen it’s quite the opposite
What people actually complained about was the lack of cleanup cause apparently dirt is a frequent issue with its transfer
Some of you might be wondering “why do we need to preserve this track? Isn’t it already available in mono on blu-ray?” Well indeed, the original MGM blu-ray does have a mono track but it’s not correct. Besides a few changes here and there the most jarring factor is how the entire movie is pitched down lower than it should be. Most noticeable with the music. Shout! Factory had an opportunity to correct this mistake with their edition but all they ended up doing was upmixing the altered mono track to stereo.
What I want in this thread is possible to achieve getting a laserdisc rip of this movie cause I know for sure those aren’t altered. Not sure if the MGM DVD has the same pitch issues or not but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did.
If anyone is able to send me anything please let me know.
