The cream of the crop remains: “The Chapel at Able-Five” directed: Michael Caffey guest: Fritz Weaver It’s another episode in which Saunders is deprived of one sense (see a case of deafness in “Hear No Evil”) and here, he is blind. To enhance that state of insecurity, a German priest helps...

It's on YouTube!

I finally watched The Honkers and it is the companion piece to Junior Bonner or should I say it’s James Coburn’s answer to Steve McQueen’s Junior Bonner. The tone is different because of the leading actor’s idiosyncrasy and sightly grim but it’s a good film on the whole (actors, script...

The New Avengers was produced by the team (Brian Clemens/Albert Fennell) who made The Professionals, by the way. I used to watch the two seasons of The New Avengers back then and still remembered it.

You omitted The New Avengers (1976) on your list.

I wish I could watch “Knife in the Darkness” in good condition.

Like I said previously, the three CBS series that need a Blu-Ray release: The Wild Wild West (season 1 DVD is in bad shape) Rawhide (season 4 DVD is in bad shape) Cimarron Strip (the whole season DVD is in bad shape)

I discovered VOYAGE in 1982 through its second season. I was hooked. Prepare to dive, Mr Morton!

Garrison’s Gorillas had one great creative guy: Paul Playdon working as a writer and a story editor for the series. Playdon used to be the finest writer on Mission: Impossible.

Garrison’s Gorillas had some good directors: Joseph Sargent, Gerald Mayer and three Combat! craftsmen (Michael Caffey, Georg Fenady, John Peyser)

I second that statement. Good action-adventure fun! I watched Garrison’s Gorillas in the 1990’s with clean prints and it was a treat! Too bad, there’s no official release: a BD would be welcome.

Thank you. Let me know when you get your BD set and to confirm the English subtitles issue. I wish they could release Danger Man, the long hour series.

Do The Prisoner BD set include English subtitles? Thanks.
