Unreleased 60's shows on DVD? - Page 2

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Ben Casey
Dr Kildare
The FBI
Marcus Welby M.D.
Medical Center

are the shows I most want on DVD

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

I'd love to see that as well. Just got Dac Savage Man of Bronze starring Ron Ely, and it reminded me of Tarzan.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

BEN CASEY is the gold standard of brilliant dramas of the 1960's. It won the award for the best overseas series during its run. Who doesn't love Vince Edwards? A great actor who was typecast after Ben Casey. A price he paid for being too good in the role.

My Mother the Car
The Pruitts of Southhampton

PLEASE!

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Car 54 Where Are You?

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

The first few episodes of My Mother The Car are now on youtube. They look to be in pretty good condition. I wonder if this means a DVD release will be following.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

Great list Neil . . . just shows you how many shows have NOT been released. However, there are a few episodes available on commercially released DVD for a few of the series. Just don't expect top notch audio/visual quality on any of these.

"Outlaws" - a few episodes have surfaced on one of Mill Creek's TV Westerns collections.

Mill Creek Details Page

"Rango" also appears on the above set.

"Michael Shayne" has three episodes on Mill Creek's TV Detectives Collection and had a two episode stand-alone DVD release from Critics Choice.

Mill Creek Details Page

Critic's Choice Video

"Legend of Custer" had a "movie" stitched together from a couple of episodes sometimes titled "Crazy Horse and Custer" and can be found on several public domain labels.

Amazon.com: Crazy Horse and Custer: The Untold Story: Michael Dante, Wayne Maunder, Mary Ann Mobley, Slim Pickens: Movies & TV

Same deal with "Hondo;" a "movie" under the title of "Hondo and the Apaches" was eventually released.

Amazon.com: Louis L'Amour: Hondo and the Apaches/The Man Called Noon: Ralph Taeger, Kathie Browne, Michael Rennie, Noah Beery Jr., Gary Clarke, Randy Boone, Gary Merrill, John Smith, Buddy Foster, Michael Pate, Victor Lundin, Jim Davis, Steven Marlo,

"Frontier Circus," to the best of my knowledge does NOT have any episodes released to date on commercially available DVD, but at one time Timeless Media was attempting to put together a collection from collectors who had prints. I don't know if they had much success, because "Frontier Circus" has never been released by them to date . . . . but possibly in the future.

Re: Unreleased 60's shows on DVD?

The Pruitt's Of Southampton (this is presently my number one choice for DVD release among TV shows on DVD)
The Monroes
My Living Doll
Blondie

Frontier Circus is a series I would really like to see again. it's been a long long time...As well as Slattery's People and Father Of The Bride...

Also...I'm not sure if these were mentioned or not:

Sea Hunt (Lloyd Bridges)
Whirlybirds (Kenneth Tobey)
Cochise (Michael Ansara)
The Rebel: Johnny Yuma (Nick Adams)
The Texan, starring Rory Cahoun
Circus Boy

And Saturday Morning Things:

Mighty Mouse Playhouse
My Friend Flicka

I've heard rumors that someone owns the rights to Mighty Mouse Playhouse and wants a ton of money for it.

If any of these ARE available, would someone let me know?

David, I don't know for sure about those titles being available but you might want to check this site here .  This site is our "Mecca" of sites on the 'net for checking what's officially available in Region 1 releases.  You may already be familiar with the site "TSoD" as we call it here.  It's (imo) the #1 TV/DVD news site on the 'net.

Mr. Terrific is being released on Germany under the title "Immer, wenn er Pillen nahm - Die komplette Serie (Folgen 01-17) with German and English audio

http://www.amazon.de/Immer-wenn-Pillen-nahm-komplette/dp/B0026L8MDI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1247593508&sr=1-1

Definitely a bootleg. Either this site or the Batman 1966 message board has all the sad details of the Batman/ Green Hornet legal issues. If it ever gets released, you will know it.

I own one of those Master sets- uncut, with all the trimmings. I still will buy the original if it gets released. Most sets out there are copied from one of the tv runs and will always be heavily edited for commercial time.

just a warning.  The German Amazon charges nearly $20 US to ship items to the USA.

Rankin/Bass's little known 1961 animated series Tales of The Wizard Of Oz. Only a handful of episodes were released on VHS in the late 80's.

 Return To Oz, the 1964 TV special that the 1961 series was based off of is available, but not the animated series itself, there was about 120 cartoons made, and some exist on YouTube, but done on DVD yet.

I would kill to get Occasional Wife. I've read that the only reason it was canceled -- because it was doing very well in the ratings -- was because NBC could only afford to renew it or I Dream of Jeannie, and they liked IDOJ better.

re: Mr. Terrific:
I was planning on ordering this until I read a user comment stating that despite Amazon's listing (as well as that of the distributor) there is in fact no English soundtrack, only German.  

Thanks for letting us know.  I will wait for one that has an English track.

It's About Time

My 60'S Wish List:

Batman (I'd love just to have the BatGirl episodes!)
The Green Hornet
Tarzan
Daktari
Patty Duke Show
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis
The Girl From Auntie

On a trivia note Yvonne Craig (BatGirl) had a guest role on Dobie Gillis. What a lady. :)
You know they don't have girls like her these days. (sigh.)

     

     I have it and that is incorrect.

     Actually, it was Screen Gems that made the decision. NBC only had room available for 1 SG show and since Jeannie already had 2 years produced, making it that much closer to a good amount for syndication, SG decided to continue with that show. Too bad as Occasional Wife was a better and funnier show.

Ripcord,starring Larry Pennell and Ken Curtis. Produced by Ivan Tors, who produced Flipper and many more TV Series. (And the need to release the other two seasons of Flipper as well!)

 The Pruitt's Of Southampton.......please!!!

I'd love to see the 1965-66 sitcom Hank released.  Considering it was one the first sitcoms to be done in color, and the fact that its storyline was wrapped up in its final episode, it would be perfect for the Warner Archive!

    
     You and me both. Considering that it aired for one season and has not been seen anywhere since in the last 43 years, it's amazing how many people remember the show fondly. Go to TV Party and they have a great write-up on the series. They also mention how they are constantly getting asked about it. The problem is that unlike all of their movies, which already have existing tape or 16mm elements, as well as their "classic" westerns and detective shows, Hank is buried in the vaults and probably only exists on 35mm negatives.I just can't see someone at Warner thinking that it will be worth it to go to the expense of transferring the show and putting it out. I would really love to be proved wrong about this.

 

Funny story. I was at the Paley Center a few months ago and I overheard two guys talking to one of people there. And what did they request to see. None other than Hank! Which of course they don't have. Only place I know of with any episodes is the Library of Congress. And the 2 they have are in black and white.
 

Same here, you just have to remember to switch over to audio channel 2 (which I ALWAYS forget) and it's English. Prints look great for what it is too

Glad to see my faves mentioned here (T.H.E. Cat, He & She. Captain Nice, Run, Buddy Run, My Mother the Car, Hawaiian Eye, 77 Sunset Strip, Surfside 6, etc.)

He & She, Hank (starring Dick Kallman), Car 54, and Camp Runamuck top my 60's 'most wanted list' along with Batman which is on everyone's list!

The only reason why I'm not going to list Batman is because for reasons I'm not allowed to mention, I'm happy with how I can still.....experience that show.

So accordingly my 60s most wanted for first time legit DVD release would be:

The FBI (especially since S1 is the best of the run)
The Girl From UNCLE
Car 54, Where Are You?

MAVERICK (hey, it ended it's run in the 60s so it counts!)

GREEN HORNET

BATMAN

MAYBERRY RFD - I would feel I REALLY had the complete Andy Griffith show, since this show features his departure from town.

GHOST AND MRS MUIR
