    Wagon Train rollin' in on October 7th

    I can't add much to this, except that I pulled out some tapes from the color WAGON TRAIN's run on Lone Star and can confirm that they ran 70-71 minutes. So I guess the Timeless release is as good as it gets. I thought I'd remembered that these were uncut on Lone Star, but I was incorrect (I...

    WAGON TRAIN's 90 minute season was 1963-1964, the same year as ARREST AND TRIAL, and both shows were produced by Universal and ran on ABC. So that's the best point of comparison, and my memory (although I don't have any on the shelf at the moment) is that the 16mm-sourced ARREST AND TRIALs on...

    Well, that's strange to say the least ... so this is more accurately a "Wagon Train: The Color Season Plus a Random Assortment of Other Episodes" box? I wouldn't complain, except that it implies this might be everything we get from Timeless on this series. And, with three 75+ minute color...

    Well ... I'm pretty sure any "painstaking restoring & remastering" was done by Universal, not by Timeless. I was told that Timeless was going to access Uni's tape masters on the color season of Wagon Train (which has been syndicated recently in Canada) for this release, which is what they did...
