    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I checked my disc 3 from season 4 and there is the same problem. The time counter doesn't skip, it continues counting - but the video starts to look like it is fast forwarding through parts of it. This happens off and on from about 7:58 until about the 8:12 mark. The episode run time shows 41:57.

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I am hoping some of the other series' that VEI will be releasing from CBS will have better transfers than Cannon. If the Barnaby Jones CBS remastered season 1 is not part of the upcoming VEI Complete Series set it doesn't make sense to me. You would think someone at either CBS or VEI would care...

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I will continue supporting the VEI releases and I hope many others will too. Cannon has never been given any effort by CBS to make it a successful release. They charged premium prices for half season sets of below average quality. At least with VEI we are getting the complete series. I would...

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I am now starting to go through the VEI Cannon complete series set. I'm about halfway through the first season and am having no problems with the discs so far. It is interesting to me that there are certain scenes where the video quality looks pretty good - then it will switch to a scene and...

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I watched Cannon during its original run and these CBS DVDs seem like the color is washed out more than I remember. When I got the first season of Cannon, I was wondering why they looked so rough. I understood there was no effort at restoration, but it seemed to me the original run looked...

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I saw reruns of The Life of Riley on a Tampa station back in the early to mid 60s. I watched it as often as possible back then and really enjoyed it. It eventually went off the air and I don't recall seeing it anywhere since with the exception of YouTube. I have always wanted to enjoy this show...

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I will never understand why Cannon was treated so shabbily by CBS. I would love to see an CBS HD mastered Cannon - but I guess it's not to be. So, I will gladly purchase from VEI whatever I need to get a complete series set.

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I would certainly prefer CBS continue releasing Gunsmoke, Bonanza, BH, and PJ and Barnaby Jones with their beautiful HD mastering. And I would think all of these shows would have a future on cable or streaming. So, I'm surprised that CBS is so slow to get these completed. Maybe they will make a...

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    Getting a complete Barnaby Jones set would be the way to go with only one season out. I wonder if Gunsmoke or Bonanaza might be coming out from VEI. CBS apparently stalling out further classic TV releases may just be part of the overall plan to transfer their releases to VEI. Was there ever a...

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I'm glad to see Cannon is getting closer. I will get the last two seasons, if possible, and the complete series set if it's the only way to complete the series. I hope the sales for Cannon are such that VEI is encouraged to keep the CBS releases coming.

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    After seeing Buddy Ebsen as Jed Clampett for so many years, I initially wondered if I could get used to him as Barnaby Jones. But I never had a problem with that, Buddy Ebsen did a great job as a Barnaby Jones, the detective. I also thought Lee Meriwether was excellent in the show. It was...

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I had a problem with one Mod Squad disc out of the the three seasons, which was easily replaced by getting a new set from Amazon. I had zero problems with any of the Diagnosis Murder sets or the, In Search Of . . . , complete series set. Others have said there were some problems, so hopefully...

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    I will miss the CBS remastering, too. But like you, I'm thinking it may be the only way to get the rest of these shows. Cannon was never restored, so I don't feel like there is a loss there. However, Barnaby Jones looked great, and I just hope there isn't too much lost in video quality.

    Cannon And Others Coming Back Courtesy Of VEI

    Very happy to see Cannon and Barnaby Jones getting restarted. And I hope we will see other stalled CBS/P shows eventually go this route.
