Re: CBS releases!! Great. Other shows they need to release
Oh, the little bit of THAT'S LIFE that I saw was indeed very good. That's one I wouldn't hesitate very long before buying, Nikki. I agree it had a great cast, you just forgot to mention the lead actress, Heather Paige Kent, and the always great Debi Mazar.Judging from your original post, you may be interested to know that a "Best of" of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL has just been released in France and Belgium. This is obviously Region 2, which shouldn't be a problem if you're from the UK, and it has an English audio track. If you want to look it up, the show's French title is AMOUR, GLOIRE ET BEAUTE (which can be literally translated as LOVE, GLORY AND BEAUTY). It is a three-disc set and according to a review I read, features 20 episodes, including:
- the series premiere
- the first encounter between Brooke Logan and the Forrester family
- the 1994 wedding of Brooke and Ridge, while Taylor was staying with Prince Omar
- Macy's death when her car exploded near Big Bear
- the episode in which Bridget found out that Ridge was Massimo's son
- Bridget's first night with Deacon
- RJ's birth
- Ridge's fake death
- Sheila shooting Brooke and Taylor
The SRP is 29.99€ which is approximately £20.
Bring these sets on!

Re: CBS releases!! Great. Other shows they need to release
Anyone know who owns the rights to City Of Angels (2000) it starred Blair Underwood, Tamara Taylor, Gabrielle Union and Vivica A. Fox. It aired on CBS but not sure if they own it. Would love this show to be released on dvd

Re: CBS releases!! Great. Other shows they need to release
I'd love to see The Guardian released on DVD and I'm hoping (not optimistically) that it's being considered, since its star (Simon Baker) is now starring in the season's most popular new show, The Mentalist. But isn't The Guardian owned by Sony rather than CBS?Speaking of Paramount shows though, I'd love to see the one-season series Shane (1966, starring David Carradine and Jill Ireland) released. That would make a really nice box set and they should get some interviews or commentary from Carradine while he's still with us.
P.S. I hate these black backgrounds with white print. Super-hard on the eyes.

I was 8-12 in 1992 and 1996, which is probably why my show selection ranges mainly from 1980s-current. Someone on the Shout message board said that most of my selections are since 1980 and that I should have all of them recorded on VCR or DVD, I wish I only had a couple of channels and most I saw either on holidays abroad or on Sky at my parents. Theres nothing wrong with wanting shows from any era on DVD in my opinion and I'm not fortunate enough to record all the ones I want, I try and download some to keep me over til my faves are released.
Seeing as Shout is being awesome with releases am hoping CBS/Paramount will do the same and I hope they restart Touched By An Angel and perhaps start Seven Days

I liked that show. It reminded me of the Equalizer.

Personally, I would love to see CBS release Jake 2.0 (which I believe they own). I remember seeing this on the TV and loving it... such a shame it was cancelled.

Jake 2.0 was a good show. Chuck reminds me of this show.

Me too, 'cept Jake was always more "real". Even though it was an unplausable storyline, the writers made the show feel realistic.

Really wish they would release Season 1 of The Division and Season 1 of Moesha sometime in the near future. If music rights are an issue with Moesha then release Season 1 of The Parkers

Re: CBS releases!! Great. Other shows they need to release
CBS should release the Defenders-all 132 episodes. Only about five were not very good. This was the finest dramatic scocially conscious series ever. High residuals are involved but most fans would gladly pay it.

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. |
A show that should be included on that list (and one which I think is long overdue of being reissued on DVD orTV, IMHO) is East Side/West Side

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. |
All of these shows being on DVD from CBS Paramount (now called CBS Television Studios, FYI) depend on actual and real demand, not just a few people saying that they should be on DVD-currently, only Star Trek is considered classic enough to get the treatment it has got. Bonanza's a good candidate, but Ben Casey and The Millionaire are quite iffy to be released on DVD by CBS Television Studios, I'd say, as are most of the other shows mentioned.

It was produced by both Sony Pictures Television & CBS Studios.

Carradine HATED Shane and was glad that it was canceled, by all accounts.

T.H.E. CAT (1966-67) strongly deserves resurrection on DVD, if CBS somehow has it via Republic (though it might be NBC-Universal property, I'm not sure).

And considering Universal's history with 1960s releases (none except The Munsters), we know it's not coming from them. It could be licensed out, like they did with McHale's Navy and Ironside among others, but the elements are in woeful condition and would require a complete remastering. So this show would be highly unlikely to ever see a release, which is unfortunate.
