I'd love to see someone tackle this series of once a month "90 minute spectaculars" from the mid-1950s. With the stars involved, there should be some selling point -- Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, Henry Fonda, Joseph Cotten, Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra, Eva Marie Saint, Margaret Sullavan, Mary Martin.

Showcase Productions currently holds the rights. They have a site that lists all the episodes and whether or not they have material on them (some of the 37 shows are lost). Wish they'd license the existing ones or put them on DVD themselves. Currently the only way to see episodes is by going to the Museum of TV and Radio in NY or LA.

They have released two episodes separately, the Festival of Music ones, but would I'd love to see a complete series release. Would anyone else?
