Mannix is coming!
I spoke to a friend tonight who was doing a project over at Paramount/CBS and he told me that they are in the process of restoring the first season of Mannix for DVD release. No time frame known but it is being worked on and should be on it's way soon. You heard it here first. Go Paramount. Better than all of the other studios put together.

Re: Mannix is coming!
Holy cow - what a surprise! The first season isn't even included in syndication packages. Thanks for the scoop!
I know that Paramount doesn't usually do bonus features, but it would be nice if 82 year old Mike Conners would appear in an interview about the series.

Re: Mannix is coming!
Paramount is king with TV on DVD. Perry Mason, Hawaii Five-0, and Mission: Impossible are the best. I would expect Mannix to rate right up with them, as far as PQ. All i could ask for, besides extras, is full season sets!

Re: Mannix is coming!
Paramount just keeps putting more and more distance between themselves and all the others. Every time I think they've sprinted out to a large enough lead, they kick it into another gear and pull away that much more. No one else is even close!
Gary "not that Mannix is really high on my list - but I'm supporting most every vintage TV series that Paramount is putting out nowadays" O.

1950's - Father Knows Best (S3-6), The Donna Reed Show (S2-8), Dennis the Menace, Mickey Mouse Club, The Rifleman, Have Gun Will Travel (S4-6), Naked City (S1), Rawhide (S4-8), Leave it to Beaver (S3-6), Ozzie & Harriet, Perry Mason (S4-9), Hawaiian Eye, The Phil Silvers Show, Lone Ranger (S4,5.5), Lassie, 77 Sunset Strip, Fury

Re: Mannix is coming!
Joining the chorus in praise of Paramount; hands down, they are the best for vintage TV series. And I'm glad to hear that they are starting with the true season 1, when Mannix worked for Joseph Campanella's character "Lew Wickersham" before striking out on his own in subsequent seasons. But I really shouldn't be surprised by this, since Paramount released the one and only season of Steven Hill "Mission: Impossible" episodes.

Hank,
Thanks for the scoop!!! This one's on my "holy grail" list 
Bob, I also remember that 1st season and haven't seen those since the original airings. How's this for a "memory lane" test? Remember in the 1st episode where Mannix is in his "Inter-tec" cubicle and he How did I do for the memory test? 
Thanks again, Hank for one of my long-time "wait-for's". I know this isn't an official release announcement but like you guys said, it's Paramout and like Rick said, they seem to be doing well with the sales of their other sets.

Jeff, you passed the test and have a great memory! That episode ("The Name is Mannix") is actually out on DVD, though it's an unofficial release and is missing the opening title sequence; apparently the production company (Desilu) didn't include copyright notices on this episode and three other first season episodes. You can find "The Name is Mannix" on these two releases, along with the episode "Skid Marks on a Dry Run":

The other two "Mannix" episodes currently available on DVD are on the recent Mill Creek "Best of TV Detectives - 150 episodes." They're nice to have as a stop-gap until the "real deal" comes from CBS/Paramount.

Re: Mannix is coming!
Like Gary, it's not high on my list either, though I want to support Paramount, it's late 60s detective drama and I have fond memories of my parents huddled around the old B&W Zenith to catch "Mannix". And that cool Lalo Schifrin theme... Ok, I'm in.
