Bob, we certainly think alike. I'd be concerned about the two things you mentioned. And like you, I've also been keeping my eye on Fox's "Big Valley" progress. It would be the worst of all things for them not to finish that 2nd Season.
And Jeff, you finally found one that I can't dispute. I had forgotten about "Streets" since I couldn't care less about that series. But even with that show on your side, I'd still say the evidence is overwhelming that Paramount (along with all the other major studios) is apt to give it's color shows full season releases over their black & white ones. Heck, if ever a b&w show in Paramount's catalog (other than sitcoms) deserved a full season release it's "THE FUGITIVE." And for them not to release it in a complete season tells me they aren't as confident about their b&w shows as they are their color ones. No doubt about it.
Gary "anyone that thinks the black & white vs. color issue doesn't come into play when these studio execs are making decisions is smoking something - it's absolutely an issue" O.
