    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    I have the Most Wanted DVD set, but with Patamount releasing a trickle of ‘60s/‘70s TV shows on Blu-ray, I’d love to see David Janssen in HD (other than Warning Shot, Superdome, and Scream of the Wolf 😉)—with the correct music cues in place. For extra space, I moved all of my TV DVD sets to...

    Night Court on DVD?

    I recently picked up Warner’s complete Night Court DVD set (the entire series cost as much as one of the Warner Archive season sets) and have enjoyed revisiting the first four seasons. I grew up with Night Court reruns while it was still on the air, so I still remember the episodes, though not...

    Star Trek series physical media in the Paramount Plus era and legacy

    There are definitely challenges associated with restoring DS9 and Voyager, as the CG FX would have to be redone (I’ve read conflicting reports as to the status/whereabouts of the original FX computer files) and I imagine it’s a lot of work locating the original film elements and then rescanning...

    Star Trek series physical media in the Paramount Plus era and legacy

    Of the new shows, I’ve only picked up season one of SNW on 4K—I don’t like steelbooks, so I’m waiting for the regular 4K edition of S2. I’m still disappointed that Picard S3 isn’t on 4K, but I’ll get around to picking up the entire series (though I really disliked S2–I found it went off the...

    Twilight Zone - The COMPLETE Definitive Collection (28-Disc Set)?

    What do people think of Rod Serling’s other anthology series, Night Gallery? I’d only read about it in Marc Scott Zicree’s fabulous Twilight Zone Companion book and despite the author’s mixed feelings on the series, it sounded intriguing! My only exposure to it was A&E’s repeated broadcasts of...

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

    I'm still holding out hope that Paramount will release Picard S3 on 4K, after the issue is corrected. And since Bell Media in Canada has removed all of the new Star Treks from Crave (Canada's biggest domestic streamer) to their CTV Sci-Fi cable channel/VOD, I'm likely going to order the first...

    Twilight Zone - The COMPLETE Definitive Collection (28-Disc Set)?

    While I was impressed with Image's DVD releases, I knew I had to get the Blu-rays once they were announced and the show looks even better in glorious HD! It's fantastic that the "Big Three" sci-fi/fantasy shows of the '60s (TZ, Outer Limits, Star Trek) are available on Blu-ray. I am a weird TZ...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    I just finished my latest revisit of The Prisoner (A&E Blu-ray)--it's still in my top 5 TV shows of all time! This morning, I started watching Hammer House of Horror (Network Blu-ray) again--such delightfully creepy, bewitching tales! I wish I had the OOP Via Vision set that has a lot...

    The Flash (1990-1991) series

    I remember the TV special comic book, as I had already been reading and collecting The post-Crisis Wally West Flash series. It was especially helpful to learn of the episode titles, as they never appeared onscreen; I had recorded 20 of the 22 episodes on VHS and had created my own titles for...

    What Show Are You Watching Now on DVD or Blu-ray?

    I’m current revisiting my A&E Blu-ray set of The Prisoner. This is definitely a TV show that would look wonderful in 4K, but I’m very happy with my Blu-ray set. (I bought Network’s In My Mind documentary on Blu-ray long before Network went under.) I know the AMC remake mini-series is available...

    The Flash (1990-1991) series

    I still have that Starlog in a box somewhere! I would love to see this series get an HD upgrade, even if they have to upscale the visual effects. I watched the CW Flash show, but lost interest halfway through its run.

    Network Goes into Liquidation

    The Professionals was one of the last Network TV Blu-ray sets I needed, but I balked at the outrageous prices for the Complete Series set; I ended up buying the individual seasons for a much better price (the exchange rate from the pound to the Canadian dollar is the best it’s been in quite some...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Via Vision in Australia released Rawhide S1 on Blu-ray (and it’s region free!) late last month. https://viavision.com.au/shop/rawhide-the-complete-first-season-blu-ray/

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    I was going to continue with The Magician this morning, but my partner woke up early and she does not share my fondness for classic ‘60s/‘70s TV shows. (She prefers Married at First Sight or docu-series on cults. 😉) She graciously allowed me to watch the ‘80s Mission: Impossible pilot, the...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Growing up in the ‘80s, I watched reruns of all the ‘60s spy classics except for Mission, which didn’t air where I lived in Western Canada at the time. My first exposure was the 1988-1990 TV sequel, which I enjoyed greatly (and still revisit via its own DVD releases), but once I saw the classic...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    All during the week, I watched one episode of Mission: Impossible a night from my Complete Series DVD set. I love all the ‘60s spy shows and MI is one of the best of them (at least the first three seasons). It compelled me to pull out my old Mission: Impossible: The Complete Dossier book. I’m...

    Press Release PHE Press Release: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season One (Limited Edition SteelBook Blu-ray) (Blu-ray)

    I enjoyed SNW much more than Discovery and Picard (though S3 is the best Trek season since new Trek started in 2017), so I pre-ordered the May 4K release. (I’m not crazy it’s a Steelbook, but it’s a minor complaint.) the series should look fantastic in 4K (all of the Star Trek shows, new and...

    Scott Atwell Star Trek Discussion thread (Series and Films)

    I know some people here aren’t crazy about Marc Cushman’s These Are the Voyages… BTS books, but I’ve been enjoying them since the pandemic began and I ordered a lot of books online to help cope (my DVD/Blu-ray library helped too). I’m currently reading his “Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek in the...

    Complete Series Sets of 'The Defenders', 'Slattery's People', 'Judd for the Defense' and 'Bus Stop' Coming this Summer!

    I’ve heard so much about Bus Stop and I enjoyed Shout!’s Defenders first season, so this is great news! And Blu-ray too!

    Pre-Order Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Season One (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    Yes, so would I (I’d even take Voyager as well in HD), but that will cost much more than TOS in 4K, so I’m just being a realist. 😉

    Pre-Order Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Season One (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    I haven’t sought out any of the new Trek shows on Blu-ray, but SNW was a standout as soon as it premiered, not without flaws, but engaging. I will pick up the 4K set, perhaps a good test to have TOS in 4K!

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    I’ve been watching some episodes of Kolchak: The Night Stalker and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century from the respective Kino Blu-ray releases and these shows have never looked better! Yesterday, I pulled out a disc from the complete Columbo DVD set to watch “Fade In to Murder”, with William...

    The Invaders on Bu ray...When?!!!

    I revisit The Invaders from time to time and enjoy its paranoid feel. Paramount’s home video department seems very scatterbrained in its recent approach to Blu-ray releases of its classic TV shows: A complete release of The Andy Griffith Show (years after the the first season had been released...

    Kino Lorber has TV Titles from Universal…

    I think Kino Lorber will continue with modest series lengths , as remastering longer running series can be cost prohibitive. Dealing with a ten-year run on something like Alfred Hitchcock Presents/The Alfred Hitchcock Hour would be cost prohibitive with remastering costs and literary rights to...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Recently, I finished a couple of Space: 1999 retrospective books, so of course I pulled out my S1 A&E Blu-ray set and watched some episodes. (I have the S2 Network Region B set, but I'd have to hook up my region-free player and I'm too lazy at the moment. ;)) I revisited some of my old...

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    Speaking of SD shows falling by the wayside in the future, I’m concerned with the TV shows from the mid-‘80s to the early ‘00s that were shot on film but edited on videotape. As anybody who has watched them on DVD or streaming, most of them look very bad and it will only get worse unless studios...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Last night, I convinced my partner to let me watch an episode of The Outer Limits, so I played “Fun and Games”, which I realized I hadn’t watched since buying Kino’s fabulous Season 1 Blu-ray set! It’s quite the feat to get her to put her phone down, but a quarter of the way through the episode...

    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    I don’t have the time to revisit the entire series, but reading the recent posts makes me want to pull out my Most Wanted set and watch the pilot and select episodes again! IF Paramount continues releasing classic TV on Blu-ray, as they’ve done with The Andy Griffith Show (hoping for a I Love...
