    Thanks everyone for your kindness. I had agreed to be involved in a BluRay project to put out a restored Terry & The Pirates TV series recently but the driving force behind it (my longtime friend Bruce Cardozo) died in his sleep! And well before I became aware of his passing all of the related...

    I haven't given up yet…still have related and unrelated projects I hope to finish... A friend that knows Shout said that they very likely didn't know what Steve Canyon was. and since they never heard of it, it wasn't important and hence not worth their time.

    Thanks Lou. Sales have been abysmal since I announced the factory disc-issue early last August, MANY (about a thousand!) that ordered V1 and V2 have so far not ordered V3…and my partner with the Terry disc passed away last April, and I don't know where the episodes/materials ended up, perhaps in...

    I'm just poking my head in here…still working on the two documentaries, but very slow going, still struggling with health and funding issues. I welcome any comments :)

    General "Shanty" Town and Nurse "Thumbs" (called "Jeets" in the TV show) are in the pilot…they are the only characters other than Steve that appeared in the strip and the TV series. The strip arc was from 1956 titled "Taps For Shanty Town". General Town was based on USAF General Casey Vincent...

    Good question, DeWilson. I have assumed the Blackmail 35mm prints were either stolen (by someone thinking they contained actual "blackmail" material, discarded on purpose (because they hated the episode or some such attitude problem), or accidentally lost in the shuffle. We'll probably never...

    So the disc arrived well protected in the cardboard shipper? No damage, it held up well? From Wed 8/12 until today, 3 days (via 1st class)…thanks John. Only want to do this once. :wacko: Going to give a few more days then will start sending them out (in the order they were reported). Will...

    Not all copies have been shipped yet. I've been figuring out who got sent theirs and who is left (which is a lot of work) and also checking what is the most current address to ship to (which is also a lot of work). My central AC quit two days ago and yesterday was 104 degrees here and today the...

    I Received the replacement Disc #1's and the redone/repacked remaining Volume 3's from the factory this afternoon…managed to get 40 packages stuffed, labeled and dropped off at the regional Post Office just before they closed at 6pm. More out tomorrow! Those of you on HTF that find you have...

    I should have the corrected Volume 3's and replacement Disc 1's in the afternoon tomorrow, then back to shipping on Saturday. I still need to hear from those that have faulty Disc 1's…if the last half of THE MULLER STORY plays (to the END of the disc) without freezing, your disc is fine…you...

    They are…they're reprinting Disc 1 for all the remaining sets…and providing substantial extra copies to send to those with bad discs. They are giving it priority, and I will get all Friday if not sooner. I need a breather anyway. Thanks for everybody's input and support. I should be back to...

    I just dropped all the remaining discs back at the factory Hollywood office…they're figuring out what to do. It's clear I'm going to have to replace a percentage of discs, they promised to cover it…other than that, we'll see what they do. Fingers crossed.
