Now they're dumping anything on disc, don't they?

Yesterday I was lazily browsing on Amazon.com and I stumbled across
Street Hawk
,
Manimal
,
Automan
and many more 80s one-season TV shows.
I think they're all burn-on-demand DVDs and they simply opened their entire back catalog for release.
I don't think these releases will have any quality or even bonus material to them.

Doesn't Amazon usually indicate if it is a made-on-demand release?
And several of these are from Shout! Factory. I don't think they do MOD, or do they?

I think that is mainly with the Warner Archive Collection, that they point out that they are printed on demand.
According Shouts's website,
Manimal
has special features, as does
Automan
and
Street Hawk
. Shout has loads of those older TV series in their program already, I think they are just continuing to serve that market they created for themselves. How much effort they put into the transfer should be checked by reading a review.
DVDTalk:
Street Hawk
(released 2010)
Manimal
(released 2015)
Automan
(released 2015)
Spoiler: All of these received 3 stars for the Video.

Afaik Universal, Sony, MGM, Fox and VCI also do MOD. I haven't checked if Amazon carry them, or report them as such, though. They're all listed at Oldies.com.
