I wish the DVDs had better features, too. Could not agree more about that.
Everytime I get spammed by the previews of shows I have zero interest in, or
spot a point where they left out a scene in the show, I wonder why the DVDs are
"good" when they could have so easily been "perfect." That just frosts me!
Oh, well. Can't complain too much.
The Baring-Gould SH is still (arguably) the definitive one. I don't have
that (due to his infamous organization of things) but I have Leslie Klinger's
3-volume one. It's not bad - although sometimes Klinger's editorializing gets
annoying. It's good, but not quite as literary as I would have liked (purely
Sherlockian). *SIGH* Guess I'm still lost without my Bosworth.
>>I wish the TAGS DVDs had more special features. It would have been very
easy (and cheap) to add commentaries, or some sort of "pop up" notes,
written by folks like Jim Clark, Neal Brower, or maybe even Andy himself.
There's a great feature on the Seinfeld DVDs called "notes about nothing."
When it's turned on, text appears on the screen (much like captions), giving
extra information about the actors, shooting locations, script ideas that
didn't make the final cut, just about anything. For trivia nuts like me,
it's fascinating.

P.S. I have the Baring-Gould annotated Sherlock Holmes (in one humongous
book), it's excellent. So far though, I haven't found any mention of that
"Sherlock Holmes Deputy" of Andy's.<<
Well, being of Scots-Irish ancestry, and the great-grandson of a distiller of
fine local spirits, I'm going to wait for National Potato Week before
celebrating. I don't much care what the French do. :P
>>Hello, Everyone,
You all do know that today (Friday) is Bastille Day? Well, it is. So if any of
you want to take a drink--just for celebration purposes--I thought I'd remind
you.<<
