Sounds like Shout Factory was in charge of this release. :)
Speaking of questionable business practices on WB's part, has anyone else noticed what they've done RE: their current "Hidden Gems" sales promotion? The 20% discount on the multi-disc tv series seasons (FBI, Medical Center, Harry O...
Wayne, you have perfectly captured Abram Ginnes' (and Howard Rodman's) thrust. What a great episode from a series chock full of them. The delicacy of treatment (typical for this brilliant show) of this subject may be lost on some. It's a FAR more adult treatment of the subject matter than could...
Given the unfortunately dismal sales of The Phil Silvers Show here, It's highly unlikely that Shout! will pick up the rights to the show. It's a certainty that CBS is done with the show domestically. I'm more than happy to buy this set (which right now is averaging less than US$27.00 per...
What is the surprise with the decline in B&W releases? Sure, there are literally tens of dozens of B&W series that have never seen so much as a single episode (legitimately) released on DVD, but this is hardly a shock. Many awful, though popular with boomers, B&W sitcoms have seen releases-even...
I'm happy for the fans of this show, but sad that sales of the entirely different level of quality Police Story have, apparently, not merited a Season 2 release.
Perfectly said, Neil.
Wayne, I concur completely. This is one of TV's true treasures, and it deserves a release befitting it's status. One could certainly argue whether it's worth paying roughly $80 just for the fourth season plus the Paley Media event, but it is to me. I'll look forward to you...
The news about Have Gun, Will Travel is a real bummer. I had truly expected it to finish up this year after restarting in 2010/11. I was less hopeful of an Untouchables release (though I'd have certainly welcomed it). I assume that the only B&W releases from CBS for the fall will be Perry Mason...
Richard, Thanks for coming up with the information about "The Mask of Death". It's great news, since one always has to worry about music edits on CBS releases. Here's hoping for more Streets, even if we have to put up with split seasons. I wish this show had the "guardian angel" that Mannix...
I believe that Neil Brock mentioned a few months ago that Timeless was considering a release of this show along with The Bold Ones and Peter Gunn. I could be wrong as I couldn't find the exact post.
I'm late to this discussion, but, I wholeheartedly agree that Brad has made some excellent points. While I'm glad that WB have extended their BOD program to older TV shows, most of what they've released so far is aggressively mediocre and/or kiddie fare (Tarzan, Girl From UNCLE, Man From...
