There's existing silents you don't have accesss to?

So we have a show that's bound to get bad press becuase Bill's Jose Character is politically incorrect in 2024/2025 (Even Bill stopped doing Jose because the character was a stereotype) and a show that is basicly in informercial for several still made POST serials - particularly Sugar Bear! Can...

I didn't know thr Pathes were released on for Kodascope What's the status of the remaing 28 silents? What type of shape are there? Isn't there a couple silents that exist is overseas prints with foreign Laungage title cardss?

So, any news on what is going on with Wade Williams Holdings? He did have a complete run of SPACE PATROL and the most known episode of TOM CORBETT : SPACE CADET (58 odd episodes of various lengths - the 15 minute shows, and the 30 minute shows.)

Do you plan on doing the complete series?

Hopefully the 90 missing shorts are ones with reused footage/partial remakes - those really wouldn't be missed - except for the four "Fake Shemp" shorts.

It's going to look like a bad patch job, unlike SHAZAM! Which they had Filmation's master 35mm/16mm elements on EVERYTHING. Now if we could only get a restored ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN (At least the color episodes) on Blu!

Yes....It's safe, sound and collecting dust...and it is likely old 16mm tv prints are in the hands of collectors. Universal cleaned out their bonded vaults (used as part of the syndication bicycling chain as a "way station" of sorts) when they switched to tape for syndication in the 1980's and a...

Anything written through 1929 will be Public Domain on January 1st, 2025 (Right now it's through 1928) - So, unless they played hard-and-fast and used songs written after 1929, the publishing side isn't anything to worry about clearance wise. :) Did the show use songs written after 1929 or...

The "Vault Fire" did not affect the MASTER VAULT - only the vault used for syndication prints/tapes and shows shot on video tape. (Or at least some of them) Universal has been reluctant to make any fresh transfer of ANYTHING without a sale to a 3rd party. So it's likely it's safe and sound...

Well, this is a surprise...

Don't know how I feel about this - Sony's History with the Columbia Movie and TV Library for the last 35 years, and the sloppiness of the studio's Assets management team as far as I'm concerned, is they should tend to their house first.

But don't they run the shows edited and/or time compressed?

You're welcome! Thankfully some of the 2-inch video tape stuff did survive elsewhere - UCLA has all of "Don Adam's Screen Test" - including the unaired pilot. Jack Benny's 10 color hour long specials survived, and were released on Time-Life, so those existed elsewhere. (May have never been...

They are also getting out of the music business as well, according to Billboard.

In the U.S, The compilation of the Trickster episodes was released on VHS only. The other compilation of the Nightshade episodes wasn't released in the U.S. on VHS, but did get released on VHS in the U.K.

When they used a clip on THE FLASH during the "Crisis" cross-over a few years ago, they clearly used a SD clip from the series - wasn't even a FX clip, it was Tina talking to Barry - they could have found the 35mm raw elements in the vault for that one scene and transferred it to HD. All we got...

The vault that went up was a working vault for syndication for television, as well as used for 35mm theatrical prints for revival showings. The reason we've not seen a lot of shows from MCA/Revue/Universal Television is they simply don't want to go into the MASTER VAULT (where everything is...

I can't see that AFFECTING any of the extras, except perhaps commentary of any living performer (Like Dick Van Dyke) most of the actor commentaries are archival, and they are dead. KINO one of the last boutique labels, they should be honest with the fanbase on this - not hide behind...

Well, why would The current Universal (NBC/Comcast) care - that was TWO owners ago...but what if HIS estate is the one making the fuss - didn't Falk own a piece of the show?

Seems the price isn't coming down on this either, so I guess that might be why KINO has to recover the cost they spent on the extra we are not getting!

I've never seen a complete list of which existing shorts still have their music/fX soundtracks existing as well. Those interest me the most, as does the late Pathe era since few of those have been available. On a similar note, what ever happened to THE MISCHIF MAKERS episodes?

ParamountGlobal owns CBS, and CBS lays claim to all the Benny TV shows pre-1955, or something like that. After that it's Universal (MCA) and Jack's Estate.

How are the elements across the board for the available MGM era silents - the 1927-1929s? The shorts released with synchronized music and sound effects interest me greatly... that transition period.

David - do you guys have access to ALL the existing elements of the silent OUR GANG shorts that are known to exist?

Well, off the top of my head - reissues should include "Land of The Giants" (Which as I mentioned never had a budget release - just the box set with all the extras), and "Honey West" (Long out of print)

Around this time she was 34...She does pull it off...mostly...but Emmy Lou is supposed to be 16! :) (Keep in mind the radio show was still on the air till the end of the 1953-1954 season as well - which means the TV show's first two seasons overlapped with the radio show's last two. I've not...

and the mystery of what happened to those tapes...is a mystery...

I heard he produces archival music releases/collections for various labels...well, he did for some time.

Just reissues - well...we could use an affordable reissue on "Land of The Giants" which never got a vanilla release domestically. If only Kevin Burns was still with us!
