I shared season 4 on spleen and also on TV Vault, not pushing with S3 or S5 as not overly much interest for the work involved as its very time consuming to make them.
May upload S3, S5 along with HD but music replaced S1 and 2 at some point but low on my priority list now.

Great to hear that! So could you post the link to that spleen or TV vault? I searched google but not sure which site should be it.

They are private sites you need to join or be invited into sorry not doing links anymore unless its a trade basis. Sorry

I grabbed it, going to run it through Topaz next week for 3 days to upscale and polish it whilst I’m away

Season 4 is available on spleen and the vault, about 60% done on season 5

I bought the VHS PG version recently off an old UK CIC video release

Same here thought this was a fantastic idea

I have just finished a HD reproduction of The Fall Guy Season 4 TV series.

Brief History of this great TV series is Season 1 & 2 were released on DVD across the USA and Europe some years ago, however these were removed of all copyright music so all songs were removed from every episode along with scenes cut or blurred out.

ITV4 in the UK showed Season 1 to 3 many years ago with original music however only season 3 was captured and shared around, then for many years nothing no re broadcast nothing and the only copies of season 4 and 5 were incredibly poor old TV rips from either some US broadcast squeezed into a letterbox format or some bad UK Bravo channel or family channel airing again very bad quality.

Then with the release of the Ryan Gosling Fall Movie the Heroes & Icons channel in the states began showing the show again with 4 episodes every Thurs and 1 on a Sunday.

The sad news is heroes & Icons used the DVD masters for season 1 & 2 with replacement music and cut scenes, season 3 was the same as the old ITV4 captures but the ITV captures were better as sadly H&I format to 16.9 and the frame rate jumps all over the place giving jumpy scenes in SD poor SD format.

H&I have also dropped episodes in Season 4 & 5 one would assume no clearance on music, so 2 episodes dropped from season 4 and I believe 3 so far from season 5.

The good news was the episodes from season 4 & 5 did contain original music and lots of it as was originally broadcast the first time in a great many years these have been seen or broadcast.

I then came into possession of The German HD copies of the show that was broadcast on Nitro or Sky 1 in Germany, these were 1080 and 4.3 ratio, sadly season 1 & 2 were 1080 masters of the DVD releases all be it better quality than the DVDs.

These were broadcast with 2 audio tracks German & English so I obtained the English to have season 1 & 2 in HD

Season 3 was HD but in German, I have re dubbed around 80% of these back into English from the UK ITV4 copies as a sound source then dropped in and out of them as the process is very time consuming.

But with H&I showings gave me a new lease of excitement, I got my HD German broadcast copies of Season 4 all in German and used the H&I copies as a sound source and began re dubbing the German copies back into English, the 2 episodes they dropped I had alternate English tracks for so I have now completed S4 and have a full set of HD English copies of that season.

I’m about to begin with Season 5 and re dub these back into English, the 3 they have dropped I have 2 alternate sound sources, sadly there will be one missing episode as no German broadcast was made of the episode Trail by Fire on either Nitro or Sky 1 and H&I have also dropped that episode so I don’t have any HD copy of that episode to play with.

A great preservation of a great TV series sadly now owned by Disney so the likely hood we will never see it as was originally broadcast.

Glad you revisited this.

Just to update everyone…

I have it on very good authority that the recent German Blu-ray release by Turbine is fully uncut.

That means all the music edits and movie length Knight of the Drones (including the original title sequence) are all included.

I am not yet sure whether they’ve sourced stereo soundtracks for Season 4 but will let you all know when I know.

It’s not a cheap set but worth every penny if you value the episodes being uncut.

Seems to be Mono for those episodes from a German fan https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=319676&page=20
Pity.

I’d second that for a link to the Oct 22 version

I have completed a Fan Edit of the Reboot of “The Munsters 2022”, a V2 after first uploading V1 to everyone’s favorite organ to good feedback.

Oh boy where do you start with this abomination of a near 2hr movie, everyone wanted to love it but everyone hates it, including me!

Out of my love for the original I set about trying to salvage what I could of this and as a homage to the original, my idea was to turn this in a type of tv episode in Black and White with opening and closing credits as close to the original and place a laugh track in again like the original and add a bit of grain and scratches but only minimal and some replacement music.

Gone is 1hr and 5mins of trash and we are down to 44mins as an extended tv show.

There are hundreds of cuts here and to help me I used some original Munsters Movie soundtrack “Munster Go Home” to replace that horrible rock track and singing.

Next up was Hermans voice, to high pitched so I had to tone this down a tad with pitch shifter.

The laugh track was taken from a large selection of Hollywood laugh tracks placed in were needed to the cut movie, some new sound background effects, bats, wolfs, thunder, wind and a few others and lastly a Munsters font to help recreate the titles.

The basic story of the movie is still there, Lily wants love, Herman created, Lily finds Herman and they fall in love, Lose the Castle, Move to Mockingbird Lane… The end

V2 corrects a spelling mistake in the opening credits and slightly lowers the volume at the beginning, a new fade in at the beginning and a quick sound edit to it’s alive sound bite.

I will share for limited time via my private onedrive if interested drop me a DM

Sorry it was limited share that I sent out to around 12 people so its out there, I’ve removed it from my cloud vault as it was taking up to much room, hopefully someone will share with you.

may be worth keeping an eye on https://forlifetv.com/browse/ Knight Rider currently on demand and free to view in the UK, not all episodes are listed yet but looks like they are showing feature length episodes

Can’t wait to see them, I just overlaid cheese burger song into the scene in HD I simply placed in on the cue from your version on the organ so no drop in quality or sound, you can get the song from you tube

I have just completed a fan edit of the recent Predator reboot Prey that I enjoyed for the most part but as I was watching it my mind was working on a re edit or fan edit of the movie.

What I worked on was reducing some of the bad CGI and introducing the Predator more slowly from a story point and rescoring the music in the movie with the original Predator soundtrack.

The score in the movie is now around 80% pure predator muscle.

From an editing point I removed the predator and the ship after he’s dropped off on earth, too much too soon.

The shot of the predator in the cave, again to much too soon, introduce him slowly like the original movie.

Now I left the wolf vs rabbit scene in this edit but was a close call to remove, the big bit gone is the bear attack, I thought the CGI along with the wolf, and big cat was just too much and didn’t add to the story.

Due to the above small talking scene about the bear is also gone as is the scene playing out in the end credits.

Due to these edits the introduction is better paced for the predator.

Nearly every action piece is rescored with the original music removed if it had one and replaced with the score from the original Predator movie.

I have also added in the odd sound effect from the predator in the rear channels when it’s lurking in the background and placed in the predator evil laugh when he sets the 3 bombs off during an attack sort of homage to the original.

The end credits has been rescored to the Predator main theme also.

Any one interested for a link via Onedrive or a very limited time only DM me.

If you are sharing i would appreciate a link, thank you

Interesting little tit bit for those in the UK, went on Amazon Prime and found the A Team season 1 & 2 classed as Freevee with ads, but the episodes have the teasers, but interesting the pilot is cut into 2 parts with fake season one music intro with the alternate face in the credits so like the HD broadcasts but it has music replacement but jumping jack flash scene cut slightly different couple of seconds of the plane getting ready to take off but still music replaced, but whole season 1 and 2 have teasers so type of hybrid but afraid in SD format with adverts. There is also an option to buy in SD along with S3

From what I’ve been hearing it seems the US Blu-ray set is using the same masters as the UK one did.

My mission to reconstruct the missing teasers in HD will resume shortly 😄

Really is a shame, a lot of the streaming sites like Tubi have released the A Team recently and all are the HD releases with no teasers and replacement music, same with Hunter and greatest american hero, but at least I managed to track down with Hunter German DVD copies with English tracks full uncut with original music and Web rips of greatest american hero with original music and not altered all be it SD, I loved the teasers for the A Team as part of my childhood and dont seem the same without them.

Just ran the episodes through Audacity to check the separate channels and yes afraid they are identical mono channels.

Baobab Archiver said:

Yeah as SpacemanDoug saying it is probably dual mono. You have to actually listen to it to be able to tell.
If you want me to help out with checking drop me a PM but given it’s the 2 part version I think it’s even more likely it’s dual mono. Appreciate you checking though 😃

It’s pretty unlikely but worth checking. If you need any help to check how to easily identify if they’re stereo or not just let me know.

I’m wondering if it has something to do with a fire that apparently happened at Universal some years ago. Apparently many film reels/spools were lost in that. Could it be that the copies that were scanned for HD are the only ones known to exist? Or is it just that they were being lazy and just took the first ones they came across without paying any attention to the content.

I would agree I know another tv show I liked “the Law and Harry Mcgraw” was lost in the fire and all they had was desaturated SD TV reels that Germany placed out on DVD and that is all that is left of the TV show, but the A team considering how famous it was around the world shouldn’t be down to us to recreate the teasers from the HD remasters, takes us several hours so really its just lazy of them, agreeded a couple of seconds of footage doesn’t appear in the episodes so maybe lost i.e. alternate takes, so if lost just replicate alternate scenes like I did for "harder than it looks’ only die hard fans would know.

Maybe the same masterings but similar in the case of Lee Harvey Oswald in Quantum Leap between the US and UK BDs it’ll be different content from the international releases

I can still keep track on forum sites if you want me to

That would be great thanks.The teasers take a few hours each to reconstruct so although I’m happy to keep doing them I don’t want to carry on if there’s no need.

Considering that both the French and UK BDs are edited in different ways I’m curious as to how Universal themselves will handle this one

There is hope since they’ve eased off of music changes for quite some time now, just look at Quantum Leap for example, Universal had to have played a part in clearing all of the music on the Mill Creek sets, knowing how much of a budget company Mill Creek is

And A-Team doesn’t have nearly as much music anyway as far as I know

I’m not holding any hope with these, look at the HD remasters of Baywatch every single HD release is the horrible music replacement release that filtered down to every web and blu ray release and HD tv broadcast, the same has happened with the A Team every time they are shown in the UK now on HD they are the versions missing the teasers, what on earth is wrong with the teasers for S2 and S3 they where on some DVD releases but note not everyone.
