Anyone heard about season's 2 and 3 comong to DVD yet? - The Young Riders (1989) Discussion

[–] gregja-1 16 years ago

sometimes they release the 1rst season just to see the response about puttng out a 2nd or more. I for one hadnt even heard that this went to dvd.. :( or I might have bought it but since season 2 and 3 havent come out whats the point.. sad. funny I was just thinking about this show today and wondering if it ever came out on dvd.

I agree w/ you that if they were not going to release season 2 and 3 then they shouldn't have released season 1. I love the episodes more from season 2 and 3 compared to season 1. Email me if you hear of an websites selling episodes of season 2 and 3. thank you.

What they (whoever's in charge of DVD release) could do, is like with Deadwood, have a set with all three seasons in one box and maybe have a complimentary toy horse with a rider on it or something instead of the deck of cards and poker chips. I'd buy it even though I already have Season 1.

The first season can now be bought at Wal-mart in a boxed set with the first season of The Magnificent Seven for $19.99

I believe that the company that released this series on DVD also released the Magnificent Seven series, and you'll notice there was about a 2-3 year gap between putting out the 1st season and the 2nd one...but then the 3rd one came out only a year or so after the 2nd one.

as it stands, i have read that due to low selling numbers for season one there are no plans to release any other seasons, which sucks. For some shows, I think that since they always claim money, etc, it would be better to release a whole show dvd. With this one, i guess it was all they could do to get the epis on cd. no specials, no nothing. If that is the way it's going to be, just release the whole show and give us all a chance to get it! BTW if anyone is selling 2-3 epis on vhs/dvd, that would be cool too! Still waiting for Homefront.

Parisma22, where did you hear that?

It sort of makes sense that this show have lower sales number that say Lost, Prison Break etc, because more people have heard of those shows and watch them. Let's face it, even though we all love The Young Riders, it isn't the show that is one everyone's lips, nor a household name.

What we can do is to send a storm of snail mail to the company that distributed the first season, asking that season 2 be released. Snail mail, as opposed to e-mail, take up physical space so at one point they can't just ignore it any longer. *insert evil grin here*

ioffer.com has the complete series

BOOTLEG ALERT.

Since seasons 2 & 3 haven't had an official release yet, those complete series sets on ioffer must be bootlegs someone taped from tv and burned to DVD-Rs.

I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's...depressing.

[–] parisma22 16 years ago

i'd sure take it! the only other one i have is a VERY bad quality tape of the last episode...as long as it wasn't a scam I'd pay for the rest just to have em..............

IDIOT ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!
OH SHUT UP rycki1138
ioffer.com is a greta site and offers great DVDs for a great price

reply

[–] rycki1138 16 years ago

But if these DVDs haven't been released then they are "Bootlegs".

Poor quality DVD-rs that someone transferred from recordings off TV broadcasts.

And if ioffer is selling bootlegs of unreleased DVDs then I wouldn't call it a "great" site. I would call it an "illegal" site.

And if you're shilling for a site that sells illegal bootlegs, that makes you the idiot, not me. Especially since you're promoting illegal DVDs on a Website (IMDb) that is owned by Amazon.com. A company that only sells legitimate DVDs.

I do not own the site
Check it out yourself before running your mouth.

[–] rycki1138 16 years ago

I didn't say you owned the site, I said you were shilling for the site. That means you're promoting it and recommending it to people without telling them that it's selling illegal bootlegs. And if you check your terms and conditions for your account with IMDb you'll see that promoting, selling or linking to sites that sell bootlegs is against the rules and can get your account deleted.

If you tell people "You can find complete season sets at Ioffer" then they will go there thinking they are buying legitimate DVD sets. You don't tell them that they are bootlegs that are recorded from tv, so if they order them and get poor quality dvr's they will get mad because nobody told them they weren't legitimate DVDs.

And I did check out the site, but even before I did I knew they were selling bootlegs because I know that the last two seasons of Young Riders haven't been released yet.

Please stop.

There's nothing wrong with iOffer as a site. I agree there. I did buy season 1-3 of the young riders from iOffer and sure, it was viewable. Bad sound quality and sometimes horrible image quality but it works. All episodes are there and it's better than nothing. Young Riders hasn't been aired in Sweden since 1993, I think. It was about damn time I saw the show again!

Hi everyone!
MGM was the distributer of this show and I checked on their website and found that if you live in the US or Canada and have any questions or complaints regarding MGM DVD releases you can call this number 888-223-2369. I myself live in Sweden and therefore don´t have that oportunity, but mabye if everyone who is a fan of the show and do have that chance could call and ask for a release of series 2 and 3 they might do it.
At least something to think about

It's a sad fact, but studios usually release the first season of a lesser-known series just to see how it'll sell. If sales are low, they halt any further seasons from making their way to DVD. This happened to the series, "Archie Bunker's Place" when sales from season 1 were lower than expected. The Young Riders was a great series that had loyal fans back in the day, but was soon forgotten, not even appearing in re-runs for the next decade (you apparently need at least 100 episodes to qualify for syndication). The original viewers moved on, and not enough of them bought the DVD's. Sad.

It was on re-runs on the Hallmark channel a few years ago.

It probably would have done better on DVD if (when it was first released) MGM didn't charge $69.99 for season 1. I bought it the day it came out and that was Best Buy's price. It was only after it wasn't selling that they cut the price in half.
