Wherefore Art Thou MacGyver?
Jan. 23rd, 2008 07:32 amBy my calculations, and by that, I mean the release dates of previous seasons, we should have had season 5 of MacGyver out here over 6 months ago. Heard nothing, nada, zip! I finally got fed up waiting (I needs me Mac!) and ordered a copy from the US. This was a few days ago. I figured the distribution company (Fox, CBS or whoever they've switched to this time) decided not to bring more out here due to poor sales or something, I don't know. Last night Hannah shows me that they've finally got off their asses and decided to release it here, Guh!
I suppose it's not that big a deal, I can play region 1 dvds, so that's not a problem, and the cost is exactly the same (because dvds are way expensive here compared with the US), so I got the dvds and shipping for $45 which is good. My only tif is the PAL vs NTSC thing. To my PAL adjusted ears, NTSC sounds oddly pitched. It's not noticable during the whole viewing, just at the beginning until I become engrossed in what I'm watching and forget about it being there. Or, as with my A Dog's Breakfast dvd, having to turn the volume up a tad loud so that I can differentiate the speech from the music and/or background noise.
