I'm recording 7th season Wagon Train and 6th season Wells Fargo from on demand. They look great. WT was put out by Timeless, cut and off old 1980s one inch transfers. Same with WF. They weren't cut but they only had tape on 22 of the 34 shows. What other series look far better now than on their...
MGM (as in former UA), Turner (when they owned MGM), Worldvision (now part of CBS). All of them had the good sense and foresight to remaster their libraries to tape. Companies that didn't - CBS, Sony, Universal, Fox. That's why its easy for obscure shows to get licensed out or sold for airing...
Many of these aired as one offs on nostalgia festivals and the like but I'm talking about a legitimate full series run. Here are some of the ones I can think of:
The Gale Storm Show (Oh Susannah)
San Francisco Beat
Dragnet (original)
Amos and Andy
Beulah
Racket Squad
These were all heavily...
Just announced today. Network is putting out 5 shows that were produced by the Danzinger brothers: The Vise, Mark Saber, Saber of London, The Cheaters and Richard The Lionheart. They are offering them as a bundle for those so inclined with a 20% pre order discount.
Finishing up The Quest now. Previously watched Have Gun, Will Travel, 1/2 hour Gunsmoke, How The West Was Won. Also, The Dakotas, which I loved. Looking for the next DVD set to start watching. I don't want gentle westerns. I'm looking for something with tons of mayhem and violence. Suggestions...
This one slipped under the radar but MPI has released the complete Code 3 syndicated series from the 50s. I used to watch this show in the late 60s in New York on WPIX as part of a 2-hour block with M Squad, Racket Squad and Mike Hammer. Pretty cool show. The route to DVD has been a long one...
I pulled out my Roku and found several series streaming uncut which never came out on DVD. Tubi has the last 3 seasons of Family and on Crackle I found Occasional Wife, Camp Runamuck, Gloria and a few others. The tricky part is that when the closing credits come up, an annoying message appears...
I've bought hundreds of TV show DVDs, which probably comes to, I don't know, few hundred thousand hours of shows. I watch what I want at my convenience. But these sellers have a window of time in which you can return a defective product. If I watch everything I bought 24 hours a day, 7 days a...
I looked up the WB Shop phone number but when I called it was disconnected. Now I bought these things a couple of years ago and first saw the problem when watching the shows. Unless I'm going to watch DVDs 24 hours a day, there's no way I'm going to discover defective discs in a timely fashion...
I don't know if anyone else saw this but Network DVD in the UK is releasing this show at the end of April. I used to buy a lot of shows from them but really they stopped putting out older shows a few years ago. This is their first new, old series in quite some time. Hopefully they're gearing up...
Do you miss the bumpers at all? When all of the series were remastered, they took them out. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, there was a little tag going into and out of every commercial. And now back to Hawaiian Eye, etc. I just remember when I was little being frightened of...
The company which put out My Little Margie season one has now released 5 volumes of unsold pilots. Here is the link: https://www.moviesunlimited.com/lost-tv-collection-1/644827447923?fbclid=IwAR0rb1tE7dmgW43vkTq_gKmm0R0wGcrE5CYkC6FCTU8MHLpjx9yikhJsEVA
This came to me today. Take a bunch of pieces of paper. Then write down days of the week on one, years (or TV seasons) on another, and the 3 networks on the third. Then separate them and throw them into a hat and pick out one of each and that's what you watch that night. I would do the 60s and...
Say bye bye. The department has been dissolved. It remains to be seen as to what will happen as far as any future releases go, but I wouldn't hold my breath for any. Gunsmoke will likely still be finished but as far as anything else goes (Bonanza, Our Miss Brooks, Ben Casey, etc.), I hate to say...

We really are in the end game of TV DVD releases. They are just not selling anymore and the companies which do vintage releases are dwindling. Sony, Universal, MGM and Fox have long been out of that business. CBS seems to be committed to finishing Gunsmoke and maybe Bonanza but that seems to be...
Since we apparently have a new rule here at HTF regarding posting of pictures and frame grabs being determined by thread starters, I'm staring this thread for those who want to discuss the show without having to wade through a hundred different frame grabs, mountie drawings and who knows what...
I don't own any of the western titles as I was happy with my recordings from Encore combined with 16mm transfers. But while watching Mr. Novak I noticed all of the bumpers in and out of commercial were left intact and I know that when Warner finally went back and remastered their one-hour shows...
I'm thinking about shows which have existing usable tape elements, which means they wouldn't have to pay for film transfers:
Paper Moon
The Smith Family
Funny Face
Ben Casey (old Worldvision timesped versions, but still)
One Step Beyond (see above)
Breaking Point
New Breed
Serpico
The...
Criteria is: no broadcast airings anywhere in the videotaping era and very few, if any, episodes circulating on 16mm film.
