Re: CBS releases!! Great. Other shows they need to release

Some CBS/Paramount releases I like to see get released, provided their complete and have no music replacements.

MacGyver: Lost Treasure of Atlantis/MacGyver: Trail to Doomsday (separate release)
Early Edition (rumored to be coming, tentative June 24)
Promised Land (hopefully it will include the episode that concluded on "Diagnosis Murder")
Legend
Jake 2.0
Father Dowling Mysteries (hopefully it will include the pilot telefilm as well)
3 lbs.
Numb3rs S4 (The only current series I'm continuing to buy from this studio, unless of course they find a way to screw this one up too.)

I forgot to mention when they get to the fifth season of "Touched by an Angel", the final crossover with "Promised Land" needs to be included, and I wished they not recycle artwork (although in a different color scheme for their last release). Season 3, Vol. 1 and 2 and Season 4, Vol. 1 all had different screenshots that reflected the episodes on their sets, but no, they decided to be cheap again and include the same screenshots for Season 4, Vol. 2 that are identical to Vol. 1. A minor thing, but bugged the heck out of me.

Disney/Buena Vista/Miramax: Please put Beautiful Girls on Blu-ray with bonus features and the original theatrical trailer in 1080p, and an anamorphic re-release with bonus features and the original theatrical trailer day-and-date on DVD. Thanks!

I certainly agree, and it was shame that CBS killed it so fast. Mr. Tucci has a number of projects coming up including a supporting role in director Peter Jackson's adaptation of Alice Sebold's acclaimed novel, "The Lovely Bones". There's already been a lot of buzz about this film, so CBS/Paramount might want to use this to their advantage. He's a great character actor. It will be a shame (again) if this never makes it to the DVD format.

Many of the shows on your list aren't owned by CBS. Luckily all of these you want have aired recently so you should at least have DVDR copies of all of them in case they never get commercially released.

Re: CBS releases!! Great. Other shows they need to release

nope dont have copies of them, currently in Vancouver and not in my hometown in England, so limited by what can watch etc and no DVD recorder here either.

According to IMDB the rights are owned by CBS or Paramount Home video if its changed then not sure who owns the rights, if anyone knows who owns the shows that arent owned by them please let me know

What are the best years for television? Whenever you yourself were between 8 and 12 years old. So for me, I love practically every show from 1965 to 1969. It's not the years, it's your age.

I dreamed of having 4 English language channels as a kid. There was only one Armed Forces TV channel broadcasting in West Germany. Five years with a single channel - and there was no such thing as a VCR to supplement. Amish kids made fun of us.

I've been using TV shows on DVD to catch up on all the stuff that wasn't shown on AF and wasn't syndicated when we returned to America (like The Odd Couple and Lidsville).

Hank,

This is an interesting point. I was 8-12 in 1966-1970. I have several television shows on VHS tape or DVD from that time period, plus a few earlier than that that I watched with my parents. I only have a few from the 1980s and 1990s (Trek series, for example). The shows that I am hopeful will come to DVD are also from 1966-1970.

What made you choose those specific years (8-12)? Just curious. For my own part, that truly was kind of a 'golden age for kids.' I'm so happy that I was that age at that time.

Re: CBS releases!! Great. Other shows they need to release

What other "major" dramas from the 1950s and 1960s could CBS/Paramount put on DVD?

Looking at their syndication bible, seems like only Bonanza, Ben Casey, and The Millionaire.

Hope they get the rights straightened out and start releasing Bonanza. I could maybe see a Ben Casey too, after they finish off their other series, if only a Season 1, Volume 1 release, to test the waters.

Quite a few actually. The biggest one would be The Defenders, which ran for 4 seasons in the early 60s and won Emmy Awards every year for best drama. It is considered one of the greatest shows in TV history but unfortunately it hasn't aired anywhere in a long, long time. Rights are split between Paramount and the show's creator and that may be the problem. By the same producer there is The Nurses, which ran for 3 seasons and was basically The Defenders in a hospital. Some others:

The Lineup (aka San Francisco Beat) was the San Francisco version of Dragnet, using actual case files. There were almost 200 half hours made plus a short final season that ran an hour. One of the very few shows with that many episodes that has never aired in the taping era.

NYPD ran only 2 seasons but that was a great cop show from the late 60s.

Sheriff of Cochise (aka U.S. Marshall) was a syndicated cop show that ran four seasons, kind of their version of Highway Patrol. Over 150 episodes.

Whirlybirds was a very popular syndicated show that ran for 3 seasons and over 100 episodes.

While not exactly a long-running show, Slattery's People, which ran a year and a half, was a good show starring Richard Crenna as a state legislator.

Since you mention Bonanza, I guess you are including westerns as well. They own The Rebel, the 2 season Nick Adams series. Also, Trackdown, another 2 season show which starred Robert Culp. Not a great show but I'm sure it has it's fans, there was the 4-season High Chapparal. Then there are many classic live dramas, which no one knows how many kines survived, such as Playhouse 90, Studio One, Danger and Climax. Also, the 2 season Desilu Playhouse.

CBS/Paramount also owns some interesting short run series as well: Coronet Blue, The Young Lawyers, Breaking Point, The New Breed, The New People, Longstreet, For the People, Garrison's Gorillas, The Reporter and The Immortal.

"N.Y.P.D." is on my list of "top 10" unreleased shows that I'd like to own; it really was a great cop show and maybe was a bit ahead of its time.

"Whirlybirds" was a childhood favorite which I saw when it was in syndication in the early 1960s; while I don't hold much hope for season releases, I'd be very happy with even a "best of" collection.

At least with "Sheriff of Cochise/U.S. Marshal" there are a few public domain episodes available (courtesy of Timeless Media, Alpha, and others). I'm guessing that there are around 20 episodes circulating on the PD labels. Like "Whirlybirds," I'd really be surprised if this ever surfaced in legitimate season sets.

I won't buy anything that CBS/Paramount releases until they go back and fix the mess they did to The Fugitive Season 2 Vol. 1. They really hacked it up! And if we continue to support them when they do this, they can, and will no doubt, destroy any of these classic shows that are listed just because they can.
