Gary "as we've been saying, there is still a lot that can be released" O.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Looks like we can finally take Peyton Place off the list, per an announcement just posted at TVShowsonDVD.com. I think I hear Charles screaming with joy.

Gary "that's great news, along with the 3rd Season of FKB being released" O.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

You bet you sweet you-know-what!!!!

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Charles. you mean you were waiting for Peyton Place? Kidding. We're glad that you're seeing this one finally released. I might have to blind-buy this one. I don't recall seeing these back then.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Batman is probably the biggest title from the 60s not out on DVD yet, and from the looks of things, it probably won't be for a long time. Fox and Warner have been in a huge legal battle for the past few years over ownership of DVD rights for the show. You would think by now they would reach the obvious conclusion that they should just split the profits between them so the series can be released and the money start rolling in, but, as we have seen all too frequently of late, corporate greed knows no bounds.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Though it made TV GUIDE'S list of the 50 Worst Shows of All Time, I would very much LOVE to see the one season, 30 episode, Phyllis Diller sitcom wonder, "The Pruitt's Of Southampton" aka "The Phyllis Diller Show" released on DVD!!
The Pruitts of Southampton - TV.com

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Reading this thread causes me to step back and be thankful for all the wonderful stuff we HAVE gotten in these last few years.

Excepting Batman (the obvious no-brainer) most of the “Big Name Series” from the sixties are already in our collective possession!

Indeed, I cannot believe the amount of shows released in their entirety (or almost so). Just on my shelves are:

Star Trek TOS, Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Invaders, Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I Spy, Burke’s Law, Honey West, The Wild Wild West, The Rat Patrol, Gilligan’s Island, F-Troop, McHale’s Navy, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Top Cat, Huckleberry Hound, and Yogi Bear!

I’ll also include that which has been released of Perry Mason and Ironside – though these Raymond Burr series did straddle the decades both before and after.

…And that’s just MY collection! There’s so much more already out there!

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the day I would own perfect (or near perfect) and uncut copies of every (…or in some cases “nearly every”) episode of these series.

…But, they HAVE been released! And, in view of this, the studios have done quite well for fans of Sixties TV!

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Recently I watched a 1974 Gunsmoke with Zina Bethune on TVLand, and it reminded me that her classic 1962-65 CBS drama The Nurses has yet to see the light of day in home video form. In fact, the only place I've seen it in recent years is at the Paley Center! This, along with The Defenders and East Side, West Side, represent an unique era in TV history (all three were filmed in New York for CBS in the early 60s).

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Not to mention The Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, Dark Shadows, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, Underdog, and now even Peyton Place.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

A pair of one season wonders comes to mind that have not been mentioned: "T.H.E. Cat" (1967), starring Robert Loggia as an aerialist and reformed cat burglar and Rod Serling's existential western series "The Loner" (1965). Two of my prized wants from the 1960s.

Note: OK, I see "The Loner" was mentioned in the above list.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

He & She (Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss): aired during the 1967-68 television season, received several Emmy nominations and received an Emmy Award for writing.

I'd also like to see the notorious one-aired-episode wonder, Turn-On, released on DVD, perhaps with the unaired episodes thrown in for good measure...

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir is all about it!

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

My usual suspects:

THRILLER
T.H.E. CAT
CORONET BLUE
THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR
WAY OUT
THE WESTERNER
BUS STOP
THE NEW ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN
THE BLUE LIGHT
THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS
STONEY BURKE
SUSPENSE THEATER

And three from overseas:

JOURNEY TO THE UNKNOWN (Hammer Studios horror/suspense anthology)
ULTRA Q (sort of a Japanese "giant monster" take on THE OUTER LIMITS)
RAUMPATROUILLE (SPACE PATROL) ORION (mid-60s German sci-fi show)

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

With regards Batman this site is advertised on DVD Talk so I assume it's not pirate. Or do you mean not available R1?

Batman Series Adam West On DVD UK

Actually it states Batman is now Public Domain..... is 40 years Public Domain?

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Just to dig up this thread again, what 60's shows is anyone hunkering to see on DVD now?

I'm sort of curious to give Garrison's Gorrillas's a try. Along with "It's About Time," "Captain Nice," and "Mr. Terrific."

Anybody else.

James Smith

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Well besides Batman, the only ones I want are Dennis The Menace (started in 1959) and The Rifleman (started in 1958). Oh and the remaining whole seasons of The Big Valley

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Would love to see more seasons of Hazel.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

I'm still waiting on the late '50s/early '60s classic "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis".

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Lucy Show
Batman
Dennis the Menace
Patty Duke Show
Many Loves of Dobie Gillis
My Mother the Car
Car 54, Where Are You?

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Somehow I missed listing one of my most sought after 60's series:

Tarzan - I haven't seen the Ron Ely series in at least 25 years, and its probably closer to 30.

Gary "I'd love to see this show get some nice remastering treatment" O.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

No,this is just ANOTHER bootleg site
