Can't wait for this I had ordered with amazon, wondering if I should Cancel and order with Deep Discount..

yep. What a deal. I assume the DD supersale will still occur in June.

Other than public domain prints, does anyone know the possibility of an official release of "Four Star Playhouse?" It's such an important part of television history. Also "The Dick Powell Show."

I guess, why not?

I watched the first two episodes of this set last night. I'm very impressed! The VQ is very good; along with the audio. I had never seen or heard of this show before, and it was a completely blind buy. Although I have only seen two episodes, I have to say this series is completely unique from other westerns that I have seen before. Lots of outside filming, top notch acting; and an unidentifiable quality that I can't really put into words. The James Whitmore, Ida Lupino episode is top notch. I highly recommend this set to all fans of classic TV. There is a video disclaimer at the beginning of the set that dispite VCI's best efforts there are a few missing Dick Powell introductions - They were unobtainable. These shows are remastered from 35mm negatives. They look very good indeed.

I just wish VCI did more releases. What little they do put out is well done, remastered from 35mm elements. Apparently they go for quality over quantity.

I was hoping that vci would follow up the Season one set of Burke's law with a second season set.

Actually, there were only 29 episodes in Season 1. Episode 21, The Hangin' Tree is the same as Episode 1, You Only Run Once.

And...to change the subject slightly... Aaron Spelling wrote the episode "Until The Man Dies," as well as other ones.

Me too. I did hear they plan to put it out eventually, but I do not know when that will be. Plus season 3, Amos Burke, Secret Agent would be nice.
