John, are the Kathleen Nolan pictures your own screen shots from the new release or from somewhere else? If from this release, they do look very nice indeed, most I've seen on review sites look pretty bad to me.
No, we were lucky with the SoSF remastering it wasn't messed with in terms of grading, as it often happens with in particularly older movie productions these days, guess they figured it's not a 'cool' cult title like Kolchak. If something has a cult reputation like, say an older Tarantino movie...
Well, it's everywhere actually like it is in modern day productions with uniformed drab colors. Basically, when watching a '70s TV (or film) production, I don't personally like to think I'm watching a current Hollywood production. This attention spoiling sort of (post production) fad takes the...
I'll be keeping my old DVD sets, as bad as they may be technically speaking, I just don't like the colors and the overall grading on this new BD release find there's a lack of primary variety and way too much distracting teal everywhere in the picture for my personal liking. Alas, was kind of...
Maybe I've missed it if it's mentioned anywhere here, Matt Helm starring Anthony Franciosa is now out on remastered DVD in France, Mike Hammer with Stacy Keach and Iron Horse with Gary Collins arrive in April. All have English audio...
Just for the hell of it, another (Universal related) pipe dream:
Nobody’s Perfect
Owen Marshall
O’Hara, U.S. Treasury
Sierra
Griff
Jigsaw
Lucas Tanner
Tenafly
Hec Ramsey
Baretta
Real head-scratcher why Columbo isn't out on Blu-ray in full yet, except in Japan. I'd also like to see The Texan restored and/or at least its brightness timed better, it was all over the place on the Timeless DVD release, a pipe dream probably but seems like it's easily doable to correct (in...
Not too many modern shows in recent years but I do love (and buy) things like The Walking Dead, The Blacklist, CSI: Miami, Touch, Dead Like Me, Dollhouse, My Own Worst Enemy, Hung and Prison Break.
If archive shows like WAC's output is made-on-demand titles, surely they don't need to press a whole bunch at first but rather as the orders come in, I thought that's the whole idea behind the MOD service.
Harry O. My feeling is, it did quite well for WAC but it really deserved a WB release that would include subtitles and above all be HD remastered, hopefully. A Blu-ray release may be a wild dream, so HD DVD would do nicely too.
Are Fox deals difficult or expensive to make for a smaller company, the only way to see those locked away shows would be through licensing, alas there doesn't seem to be any such current deals (apart from Shout doing WKRP).
I'm getting the new German one for the extras alone, but I'm still waiting for more reviews with screen grabs to decide whether I want WAC's or not. So much in terms of viewing enjoyment depends on the color timing, which was terribly flat and muted on the old DVD's print, I understand was...
Skyway To Death (1974) is out in Germany next month, featuring Joe prominently on the cover.

A brilliant always watchable actor, it always lifted an episode when he appeared. And he had one of the best voices ever, that very important part of an actor's toolbox. R.I.P.
Looks like this presentation overall is going for somewhat more drab colors, not a landslide but just enough to irritate my eagle eye tweaked slightly in the teal direction unfotunately, this is Warner Bros. as we know them now often disturbing their older films' originality.
