    Yes, Ellery Queen was also part of that rotation of shows on A+E. We had three episodes of "Mrs. Columbo" released as bonus features in the "Columbo" releases (all of those I believe were done prior to the fire; though many people like me would have shed no tears if they'd all burned!) and one...

    "Broadside" (1964-65) was a Revue production so that would have been available to Timeless. Being the spinoff of an established series like "McHale's Navy" would have helped it from a marketing standpoint IMO. You also have the filmed episodes of "TheJack Benny Show" that have been part of...

    Well let's be fair about one thing. If you're going to be critical of Timeless, then it should *only* apply to the available titles in the catalog they were licensing titles from for their previous releases. In this case, I'm not going to fault Timeless for not releasing titles from libraries...

    "Going My Way" was a general drama show and wouldn't fall in the usual Timeless category of western or crime drama. We can also add "Medic" to that.

    I don't think anyone disputes the fact that Timeless has given us some good non-western choices. I think what this comes back to is the feeling that in the non-western dramatic genre, the well is pretty much tapped for Universal owned properties that Timeless could do but a number of titles in...

    I think those of us who are a little less than enthused by the higher western quotient aren't suggesting those shows shouldn't have been released, we're only just speaking for ourselves regarding what our own purchasing preferences might have been. I'm happy others are finding each new one...

    Gary, I'm not belittling them either, but I do think it couldn't have hurt for Timeless to have shown just a little more diversity when there were available titles they conceivably have put out that are from the same era. As it was, I did get ten different western titles Timeless put out (I...

    I do appreciate the other shows they released. "Arrest And Trial" and "Checkmate" were most welcome along with "87th Precinct" but the overall imbalance I think has gotten too far in favor of westerns the last year and we haven't seen a single short-lived Universal sitcom from this era (like...

    Timeless's obsession with westerns I have to admit has been their one big flaw from my standpoint. The genre has never been my favorite, though I've been willing to branch out and sample some of them, but there comes a point where one has a limit (and in my case I did end up getting eight...

    Certainly possible, but the Mrs. Columbo episodes were in fact released on DVD before the fire so that's no guarantee of their continued existence. One episode of another A+E package show "Delvecchio" was on the "Brilliant But Cancelled" DVD release, but the episode they chose looked like a...

    I enjoyed the few episodes I've sampled from my A+E set and would gladly upgrade. I'd certainly take it over certain other shows of that decade and the previous one.

    I think "Snoop Sisters" was in a way a kind of combined package thing with "McMillan And Wife" because Leonard Stern was executive producer of both shows. In fact, after "Snoop Sisters" run ended you had Mildred Natwick then showing up on "McMillan And Wife" as Rock Hudson's mother while cast...

    Any News On These Universal Shows Getting Released

    No, I'm *not* kidding. It's a perfectly legitimate question to ask and considering how Universal felt compelled to acknowledge the impact on one of their releases, that means they *do* release info on this of some kind and if they were serious about trying to locate where other source elements...

    Is there a full accouting of titles confirmed lost in the fire? "Switch" I believe was also reported to be another one.

    That will make that show perpetually unique in the annals of TV on DVD to have had its first season released and then the transfers lost afterwards to thus leave that forever stalled at S1. Of course Universal only released S1 in the first place to exploit Robert Blake's murder trial.
