"The Ivy Maze" does initially seem intriguing and entertaining, but it really does fall apart almost totally.  On too many occasions, 4th-season episodes strain credulity.  I particularly disliked "Clean and Quiet...

Just finished off "Laramie" s-1 myself.  Some pretty solid episodes in the last dozen or so.  Usually you expect things to wane a bit towards the end of a season (studios start running out of money!), but not in the case of...

I received copies today of both the "State Trooper" and the "Coronado 9" sets. Just did a brief spot-check of the quality on their initial discs, and they both look like they are from nice 16mm prints. Consistent-looking, too. Unlike...

I've watched the first ten episodes, and I'm having a great time with the set. The series is fun, b-grade hokum. Sort of like a 1950s-era comic book come to life. And, as Bob mentioned, lots of familiar faces popping up. One...

Hmm, having to choose just one series out of the two? That's a toughie, as they are both nice, reliable action-oriented shows of similar ilk. "State Trooper" was Revue's answer to "Highway Patrol," but a bit less documentary-ish, with...

Gee whiz, add me into the mix as well. I hadn't really seen either of the 'bionic' shows since their original airings, but did pick up the recent "Bionic Woman" set, and was actually quite surprised how much I thoroughly enjoyed it.

"The FBI" ran from 1965 all the way to 1974. It's a pretty nifty series, in a generic police-procedural way. Not nearly as good as those earlier, more character-driven drama shows from the earlier-1960s. But it sports nice...

Wait a second, we're talking about that Christmas episode of "Kildare" that had Dan O'Herlihy guest-star, right?  Playing a drunken bum?   I thought for sure that was going to be the one included in this WB...

Well, for my part, I've indeed viewed every episode to the Timeless sets "M Squad," "Laredo," "Arrest and Trial," "Wells Fargo" (both sets), "Virginian" s-1, "Wagon Train"...

I'll certainly be looking forward to this!  I've only seen a couple of episodes, but it seemed like good fun.  Fast-paced, and admittedly a bit hokey, evoking old movie-serials in a way.  What's particularly nice is...
