    Ozzie & Harriet Release From Sam Nelson?

    Moon River was written for 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and was not around in 1957, so it had to be added when the episode was edited to squeeze in Ricky's segments. Meanwhile, this appears to be a scene that got removed to make room for Rick, which is kind of a shame:

    iTunes has Monk complete series for $29.99. It's kind of buried though. You have to find the show Monk, then go down to the buy area and get a list of all the seasons. it will show two versions of season 1, and one of those versions turns out to be the complete series.

    I checked one out and it looked to me like the same prints. In fact the one I sampled on my desktop Mac was 720p which is better resolution than the DVDs.

    77 Sunset Strip / Hawaiian Eye, etc.

    When the show was running on one of the nostalgia subchannels they aired all five parts. It looked pretty good but there were downsides. For one they trimmed a few minutes out of each episode to squeeze in the commercials. And another issue: one part (i think part four) ends in a climactic fight...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Topaz -- in 4k UHD

    There were three endings to TOPAZ. I believe the original was the longer one with a duel (to me far better than the other two). Then they shot an alternate where the bad guy just got on a plane and waved to his pursuers, who commented something about how diplomacy lets the big guys escape. The...

    I can't remember which season or which episode, but my ears did perk up when someone mentioned Dave being in law school. Rick or one of the guys, not Ozzie or Harriet.

    In one of the earlier episodes, with a Kodak film opening plug at the beginning, they show Rick and Dave with their dates taking pictures at a zoo (I think). Dave's date appears to be June, perhaps her first appearance on the show.

    I actually like Jaws 2 soundtrack more than Jaws 1. That's why I've been hoping for at least a stereo remix. Oh well, at least I have the soundtrack CD.

    I watched a couple episodes of 'Beacon Street' and the transfers really look better than I expected from 16mm. Also like the the commercials option. Maybe it's common knowledge but until I looked it up I wasn't aware of the amazing, tragic story of the 'Beacon Street' writer who later wrote for...

    Years ago I was trying to see snippets from all the Ben-Hur streaming versions between iTunes, Vudu, etc, and what sticks in my head now is that I had some issue with the iTunes transfer being insufficiently wide compared to one of the others. Do the two iTunes versions both have the same aspect...

    Going thru some of the 9/10 episodes I was keeping an eye on the closing credits music. In season nine early episodes used a big orchestral version of 'Mary, I'm In Love With You' that sounds a lot like the arrangement by Billy May used on the radio series. Several other themes were used and...

    Pre-Order Blondie: The Complete Series (1957) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    The opening credits for the tv series have been altered in the upgraded prints I've seen on streaming services, probably to remove sponsor plugs. But reducing the open to a sequence of still frames is a lot worse than allowing a sponsor image to be shown. I wonder if this set will restore the...

    I've noticed some trivial things in 7&8, like a picture that was on Ozzie's wall in an earlier season turns up on Darby's wall. Ozzie has the primitive-style paintings of Streeter Blair in the den; Rick's wife Kristin was inspired to take up that style of painting seeing his paintings at the...

    General Discussion Streaming Frustrations, Part 2

    Tubi has a very strange artifact on many (most?) of their streaming shows. The volume is low and then gradually ramps up to normal level in about 30-sec to a minute. Then at the end the opposite happens: the audio level starts to fade down as the video nears its end. I don't think it happens to...

    Ozzie & Harriet Release From Sam Nelson?

    One of them may have been, but you'll see most of Thorny's season five episodes have the eagle over the fireplace. That was introduced in season five (Harriet hated it, by the way). So my guess is Thorny did start season but was gone after just three or four episodes.
