I have searched for all sixteen episodes of Matt Lincoln plus the pilot film titled Dial Hot Line. This series was the definitive 1970's show. Vince Edwards remains one of the most popular tv actors in history. There is a tribute to him playing on youtube with over 12,000 hits. Matt Lincoln was a well written series that was never given a chance by ABC in 1970. They aired this series at 7:30 opposite Flip Wilson and Jim Nabors. Have you ever heard of a drama series being scheduled at 7:30? Of course it missed its target audience completely and was cancelled. Matt Lincoln was never given a chance in the appropriate timeslot..
This was the first series that addressed real mental health issues in an adult manner. Dr. Matt Lincoln, as played by the late, great Vince Edwards, practiced preventive psychiatry. He struggled to assist people in early stages of emotional distress to avoid further, more complicated treatment. "It was in the best tradition of Mod Squad, getting involved with people with a myriad of problems." Vince Edwards was a great actor who was never given his due by Hollywood after Ben Casey. Matt Lincoln deserves to be seen on dvd. Room 222 and Mod Squad have been released. The time has come to release Matt Lincoln and the pilot film Dial Hot Line. Let a whole new generation get introduced to Vince Edwards, which some call the George Clooney of his day. Vince would have been 81 years old today. Hard to believe..
I am tired of some at The Home Theater Forum saying there is no chance that Matt Lincoln would be released on dvd. Ben Casey was an iconic series not only for the writing but mainly because of the talent of Vince Edwards. He still has a tremendous fan base out there. The internet proves this. The public want to see his tv series on dvd.
