    What New Classic Movies have you added to your collection ?

    From the Warner Archives' birthday sale at Movie Zyng couple of weeks ago, where I over-indulged:

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Another possibility, although likely remote, is Jack Webb's G.E. True (1962-63). Also, isn't The Alaskans one of those with a ton of music performed (mainly by series regular Dorothy Provine) in it? I'd think that would put the kibosh on a disc release, unless WB has somehow been quietly and...

    Which long running 50s sitcom would you most like to see get a complete release?

    The incident referred to was the Universal Studios fire, which happened on June 1st, 2008. It had a far bigger impact on music than films/TV shows, as a ton of original master recordings were destroyed in the blaze. Most of the articles that you'll find in a web search focus on that music loss...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    While I don't have the set yet (it streets in early June) and they don't mention it in the tech specs for the set on their website, I think it's pretty safe to assume it will have English subtitles. I have both of their recent, previous Avengers sets (Imprint Television #3: The Emma Peel...

    ClassicFlix RARE TELEVISION Thread

    Possibly. It's an outlier, in that it's half the length of the previous specials, and Dr. Frank Baxter is replaced by an animated drop of water, voiced by Sterling Holloway --Wikipedia's description. I don't think I've ever seen it, it was never included in any of the previous Bell Science...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Pre-ordered today, ViaVision/Imprint's region-free Blu-ray collection of The Prisoner, and thanks to a 20% off UK TV series coupon code provided in the email advertising that classic series, I was also able to order ViaVision's Callan: The Ultimate Collection region-free DVD set (already at a...

    ClassicFlix RARE TELEVISION Thread

    Here's an idea... how about a ClassicFlix release of the Bell System Science Hour specials (the first four produced/directed by Frank Capra, the subsequent four produced by Warner Brothers), hosted by Dr. Frank Baxter, on DVD and (possibly) Blu-ray? 1.) Our Mr. Sun (1956 Capra, animation by...

    Tributes To Your Favorite Classic TV Stars

    Thanks! Yup, it was a good time. Usually it's movies, rather than TV episodes, and I've whipped up intros to some of those, too. --We now return you to Favorite Classic TV Star Tributes, already in progress...

    Tributes To Your Favorite Classic TV Stars

    Correct! The Ventures' theme to the pilot to what would've been the live-action 1960s DICK TRACY tv series, from William Dozier (BATMAN, THE GREEN HORNET).

    Tributes To Your Favorite Classic TV Stars

    Here's a little tribute to classic TV (mostly sci-fi/horror/fantasy series) I edited together, for fun, as an intro to a chatroom "watch party" situation a couple of weeks ago... Most are pretty easy, but can you i.d. all the clips featured in the intro, as well as the connection the music...

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    A question for the Insider, given the announcement of several re-issues of previous Kino titles from MGM, lately. Kino released Sergio Corbucci's Navajo Joe (1966, United Artists), starring Burt Reynolds, on DVD and Blu-ray, back in 2015, which has been out-of-print for quite a while now. Kino...

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    Oops! For some reason I was thinking Shout released that one, but obviously not... and also reminds me that The Frozen Dead (1966) also hasn't gotten a blu-ray release. I'll update the list now.
