Summary: Neat TV reunion, Poor Quality DVD Transfer!
Review: Yet another poor tape-to-dvd transfer done 'on the cheap'!!

There are several companies selling this 1978 TV film, because Sherwood Schwartz, the 'GILLIGAN' creator obviously doesn't retain the copyright to this Gilligan project!

I'm glad to finally see this reunion TV movie on DVD, but damn, the quality is poor! Yes, it's obviously poorly edited, and I dunno what the deal was to get to show this on DVD! They obviously don't care about the quality! Ok,.... so it only cost me a dollar!!!!

I'm so glad the Gilligan series is finally seeing an 'official' release on DVD!!!! It's an old favorite of mine!


I have found several TV episodes/old TV movies/theatrical films for 1 dollar on DVD, and it's cool to have them even if the quality stinks, but....There is a disturbing trend amongst the 'quickie' DVD manufacturers, and it kinda stinks! They obtain use/rights of old tv shows/movies that have expired copyrights, and then transfer them to DVD's and sell them for next to nothing!
I bought it for a dollar brand new!



Again, why must we endure this assembly line garbage DVD quality?

I feel badly for the producers and artists of the original works. They got ripped off because somebody didn't think these TV shows/TV Movies/Movies were good enough to retain the copyrights so we could see a decent DVD copy of 'em!!!!

Oh well....

So goes the usual money grubbing in the entertainment business!!!!
