Anyone know why this has not made it to blu ray yet? I haven't seen it in a long time and if I watch it again, I'd like to see it in 1080P with loss less sound.

That would be great. Definitely needs released with special features. I hate bareboned DVDs and Blu-rays.Quote:

Thought I heard about that. Any specific examples you can remember. I thought the one you had to order from tv that had two VHS tapes was the Fuller version. Then the single VHS and DVD of that VHS is the edited version.Quote:

There's too many differences to mention between the 'broadcast' version from 1998 and the DVD version of The Temptations Mini Series. I only know that from editing the nearly four hour version that aired over two nights in Nov. 98 down to a single DVD, a lot of the show was taken out. And I remember one of the commercials from the show mentioning the 'longer version' that you had to order from NBC [[this is the version that should come out on Blu-Ray).Quote:

If I'm not mistaken, the DVD that came out a decade ago featured the full-length version. I could be wrong about this, as I faintly remember there was a scene with the Tempts sitting on a stage and winding down after a show in the first half of the original NBC broadcast. I own a single VHS that contains a severely edited cut of the miniseries.
I have that dvd..i'm still hoping for a theatrical film directed by spike lee or maybe the folks that did[ray]-temptations forever.
No idea about that. I use Netflix more than anything else. I will find this movie there once I finish watching shows by Andy Yeatman with my kids. I am badly addicted to these series. Anyways, I have also heard a lot about this movie and I will watch it with my husband.
Eckartt! I'm there too! I get my fix/ Jones on when the missus and the chillrun are out the house! And it always ends the same: You watchin THAT again?!! Same scenario with The Jacksons: An American Journey.[[my 2nd favorite music movie) So both broadcasts and have both DVDs!!Quote:
