Brilliant title..I

it!

Cute pic!

I can't wait for Ally to start coming out on dvd. I know over here in the UK we have all the dvds out but I like how the region 1 boxsets are more compact and pretty. Theres season 1 on dvd right?

Thanks for the new thread Bency, and the picture is just the cutest thing!

I miss Ally Mcbeal being on. I just have to keep watching tapes.

Only 6 eps from season are on DVD in the USA. Sucks.

I love the thread title and picture, too cute! I should rent the DVDs. I didn't watch Ally in the beginning, I think I would like the later ones better.

Ally is so popular, I can't understand why they won't release the dvd's.

I agree. Fox has said that the music is a problem. I hope they don't change all the music when they eventually release it.

That would suck.

Thanks for the info.

If they had a music problem, how come they released 2 or 3 soundtracks with no problem?

**Melis** · 07-05-2004, 12:43 PM

At the time, they probably only cleared the music rights for the soundtracks and not DVD releases. Ally started before the big TV-on-DVD craze, so I'm sure when they made music clearances, they didn't even consider that Ally might one day be on DVD.

You're probably right. Its such a shame. I would love to own all the series. I guess I could buy region 2 but i'll only end up getting region 1 when it finally comes out.

I'd love to buy the region 2, but right now I don't have a DVD player that would play them.

I used to be a -huge- Ally McBeal fan. It was likely my first real "fandom" -- in the sense that I went out looking for communitys, fan fic, etc.

It was the character of Larry Paul that really got me into it. When Robert Downey Jr. left the show for the first time and left the fans hanging as to whether or not he'd be back, I HAD to find out more. So I went and read fanfic about it.

Man. To this day that pairing oozes chemistry for me. Though... I could have lived without Season 5. Season 5 was not so good... and it was good that the show ended when it did, and how it did.

**Melis** · 07-07-2004, 01:37 PM

I agree it was good it ended when it did, but I didn't like the ending.
