i hope that was due to an authoring error and that the actual restoration doesn’t look like that. I’m hoping for a new 4K disc that’s taken care of all the errors on that disc. One can hope. And I’m looking forward to seeing what the North by Northwest disc will look like. Why are you so good...

Great to see all the early Star Trek syndication promos and bumpers.

Yes Yes, John Trimble‘s passing has been noted on other Star Trek sites. Bjo got all the notoriety it seemed. But they were a pair who worked for Roddenberry on the Save Star Trek campaigns. It’s great the Trimbles have been around this long to see how their hard work has helped the franchise...

Scott, not to ignore your thread of the films having good continuity with the series, as you’re right, Bennett was good to maintain that. I’m surprisingly fascinated with the topic of when Star Trek was originally syndicated. Another of those ads I posted above shows that stations who buy Star...

Sorry, I could not help but comment on this, The Twilight Zone was bleak. I can understand that. The series did tell stories with twist endings that sometimes didn’t end well for the characters. But I have to say, there are quite a few episodes where a character learns something about himself...

This question of when Star Trek TOS first was syndicated really had me curious. I remember seeing it on KTVU channel 2 in the San Francisco Bay Area in my youth. It’s etched on my tongue. I even remember in 1976 as a very young kid, I saw a KTVU camera man filming an event in 1976 and asking him...

Kevin, I recall Star Trek fandom being huge in the 1975 to 76 time period. Of course the series was in full syndication then. What I don’t recall was what was happening in 1971. I’ll have to try to figure that one out. edit: I recall now schoolmates playing Star Trek in the schoolyard and I’m...

Tim, Erich, I pulled out the Rockford Files second season DVD set and watched the pilot film. It actually looks quiet good for DVD. if I have time, I’ll compare it to the Blu ray version. As Erich said, the pilot on the DVD set appears to have the commercial breaks edited out. The film starts...

I did not realize this release was coming out and for some reason, I thought I already have it in my collection. So when I saw the review, I was confused because it says the released date is August 5, 2020. At any rate, thanks for the review effort Josh. I placed the other and should have it today.

Tim, are you asking about the complete pilot for Magnum or Rockford? For Magnum, I sought out the Blu ray set from Fabulous Films which is an import. If you are asking for the pilot for Rockford, I sought out the Universal DVD second season release of The Rockford Files, based on feedback from...

I have The Rockford Files on blu ray too. I’ve seen a handful of episodes and it looks great. My main issue with it is the pilot episode uses the syndicated version. I picked up the DVD season that includes the complete pilot. While it doesn’t look as good on DVD, at least it’s complete. And...

Thanks guys! The Golden Gate Bridge on the box is nice, Frankie! It’s got a bit of a metallic finish in the printing. Ben, I’m glad it appears to be the way it should be too! Tim, I also have the Columbo blu ray set, I’ve been enjoying that. I figure McMillan and the other shows will not...

Ha, ha, thanks Bryan!

Guys, I finally have all three titles now, as The Abyss finally arrived. There were ordered on March 3rd too. The other two arrived March 27th and 28th.
