DVD Reviews of NFL Super Bowl I-XL Collector's Set
DVD Review: The time for the actual games is long overdue!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is great for what it is, only highlights. However, the more I have been thinking about this, the more I realize that Highlights JUST ARE NOT ENOUGH! These highlights only wet my appetite for more! That is why I am giving this a low rating. I used to think that highlights are better than nothing. But I no longer feel that way.
Imagine, for a moment, if you could not rent or purchase your favorite movie - but instead, all that was available was "highlights". And even worse, say it was highlights of that movie mixed in with highlights of all of the other movies of that year, or of that actor, or of that director. You get the idea. I think it is unlikely that anyone would even begin to suggest that highlights could replace the real thing. Instead, there would be an outcry like the world has never seen. Ok. So I exaggerate.
Back to these games. Imagine if they were never aired at all. Imagine sitting down on a Sunday afternoon and all that is available is ESPN highlights of the games played that day. Would that be enough for you? It sure would NOT be enough for me. I expect to see the entire game as it is played - uncut - unedited, and without after-the-fact commentary spoiling the excitement of the moment.
Fortunately that is what we get with live broadcast of football. It is also what I believe should be made available for the greatest games of football past. All of the past Super Bowls. And all of the greatest games of past seasons and playoffs. Time for a cliche argument: We can spend billions of dollars to put people into space, but we can't put an entire uncut football game on DVD. Ridiculous!
I am a long-time football fan. I realize that the entire games might not have the vast general appeal that most movies have. But, on the other hand, there seems to me to be a built-in audience of fans of not only the past generation that enjoyed those games live - but the current generation which would enjoy seeing the classic games of their favorite team(s).
I know I would! I was not old enough in the late 60's and early 70's too watch and/or appreciate the games of that era. But I would be first in line to purchase those classic games (assuming tapes exist for some or hopefully all of them) as soon as the companies who own them realize the demand that exists and releases them on DVD.
I realize, as someone has written, that these games are likely owned by the network(s) and not by the NFL. I don't see where that is relevant to the ultimate issue - the release of these games, uncut and unedited, including the original broadcast play-by-play, IS LONG OVERDUE! Whoever owns the rights to these games needs to read the reviews on this and other sites demanding that these games be released - and realize that for every one person who takes the time to write a review, there are thousands more who feel the same way. And if it is the networks, so be it. Let THEM release the DVDs. Makes no never-mind to me WHO releases them - just so they are released!
I also realize that some of these games may no longer exist - that the tapes/etc may have been destroyed due to lack of storage space. So be it. That is no excuse to not release the ones that ARE available!
I am not asking for the moon. I am not suggesting that all of these games need to be released at once. I would be happy just to see a beginning. And I can't think of a better place to start than the classic Super Bowls of the 60's and 70's, starting with the first one of which tapes of the original broadcast are still available. I'll be one of the first in line to purchase it!
