That is literally the only remaining western series I had a shred of interest in seeing make it. So I will be getting that.

Don't forget the word-word-for word replay of the destruct sequence from "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield."

She disdainfully spoke about the experience on a Later With Bob Costas appearance once. She couldn't even remember Robert Lansing's name, referring to him as "another guy" she would have had to do the show with. Frankly, I always thought "The Omega Glory" got too much of a bum rap by...

"All Our Yesterdays" which was the next to last episode was something of a budget-saver in that it's the only episode in the entire run of the show not to have any scenes aboard the Enterprise and Scotty is only heard in a voiceover. The earlier draft of the script had them beaming up and the...

"Assignment Earth" I felt was a weak-tea premise for a show. I've always found it amusing to see all the concerns of "don't violate the Prime Directive" applied to Kirk, but when you get right down to it, whoever Gary Seven works for is the ultimate violator of a "Prime Directive" there is...

Sterling hosted a talk show on WMCA Radio from 1972-1978 and also did Yankee pregame shows for a time when they were on WMCA. During the 1976 and 1977 postseasons he and Mel Allen co-hosted pre and postgame shows including these memorable shows after Game 5 of the 1976 ALCS and Game 6 of the...

There's also the fact that the audio in a number of Season 1 episodes on the Blu-Ray has some problems where the sound effects and music are drowning out the dialogue as if the music/FX track has somehow "doubled up" over the regular audio. The audio at times (Particularly the construction site...

The critics kept missing the point with Lange's performance. They thought she really was a dumb blonde, when she was giving a great performance as a Monroe type character.

Its always been easier for me to take seeing SImpson again in a dramatic role (Towering Inferno, Capricorn One) and I can certainly handle watching an old NFL game with him. But the Naked Gun stuff has been unseen by me since 1994 and I can never look at them again because when its a comedy...

The film failed to be a "Jaws" type blockbuster but it was a success, grossing $90 million overall so those who would call it a flop are rewriting history (yet that stigma seemed to follow it for quite a few years).

Storage wise I just made sure to get a standards 4 disc ultra HD case at the same time so the two discs from this and the two discs from the Shout! release go into the same case with the proper Shout! poster art inside an Ultra HD case. The steelbook was a waste and is getting tossed by me...

This was the first "big event" movie of my childhood. I had the trading cards, the Ideal game etc. And today I think the movie holds up much better than Jackson's. The authentic location cinematography of Hawaii and New York, a willingness to do a fresh take on the story while...

"Snoop Sisters" is a nice piece of rare 70s TV. The pilot film that has Art Carney instead of Lou Antonio is the strongest segment (and also has the last acting role of Paulette Goddard).

Niagara (1953). Filmed in beautiful color on location in Niagara Falls, it captures that location at that point in time perfectly. The Taking Of Pelham One-Two-Three (1974). The perfect time capsule of New York in its full seedy decline.

I remember the Omen IV paperback which brought back the Robert Foxworth character from "Omen II" (he is referred to in the "Final Conflict" without being seen; I have long suspected that Don Gordon's character was supposed to be Foxworth's character but because they couldn't get Foxworth for...
