Complete Series Sets of 'The Defenders', 'Slattery's People', 'Judd for the Defense' and 'Bus Stop' Coming this Summer!
In a first of it's kind move, Shout Factory will be releasing four dramatic series from the 1960's this coming July 4th. These shows have all been restored and will be Blu...
Some truly good news - after months of ho-hum release news from most of the major outfits! ClassixFlix is releasing "The Crystal Ball" (1943) and "The Duke of West Point" (1938) on June 15th via their Silver Series DVD line. These will be must purchases for me...
Just curious. I'm not asking necessarily what your favorite TV show is, although your TV on DVD 'comfort food" might be that show. What I'm really asking is what show never fails to put you in a good mood. It always lightens your day and calms your stressed out mind.
My favorite TV on DVD...
Our good friends at ClassicFlix have done it again! Just got an email telling me they'll soon be releasing 6 Hal Roach streamliners, specifically the Tracy & Sawyer Military Comedies! Fantastic news!!
Gary "thanks so much - once again - ClassicFlix" O.

Gary “finally!!!” O.
Word has it that ClassicFlix will be releasing Public Defender sometime in the near future.
Gary “while I’d rather have seen Racket Squad, this is still welcome news” O.
I'm in need of some advice. I've finally decided to take the plunge into the world of Blu-ray, but my HD TV is an older model that doesn't have an HDMI input. I've only got component inputs. If I buy a new blu-ray player I realize it's only going to have HDMI output. Do any of these...
where would it be?
I thought this might be an interesting topic that I don't remember seeing before. Name off some of the fictional homes, neighborhoods, towns, cities or other dwelling places (boats, spaceships, or whatever else) in TVLand that you'd most like to live if you were able. It...
My crystal ball swore me to secrecy but since Amazon is now advertising this, I think it's safe to mention that the Complete Riverboat is coming this May, from Timeless (of course)! Gary "another solid release from Timeless Media" O.
According to a Classicflix email I just received, "Buck Privates" is coming to Blu-ray on April 17th courtesy of Universal. This is the type of news that might finally get me off the fence and force a BR purchase for my household. I'm pleasantly surprised by this, but I have to wonder just how...
I was just reading a couple of the threads here about how happy some were with the upcoming release schedule and it hit me that most of the excitement was about shows that ran in the 70's or beyond. Other than a few titles coming from Timeless (thank God for that company), and one or two coming...
I've just been informed that we can look forward to the following releases from Timeless in October. Some we already knew about but some might be news for some folks here:
Tales of Wells Fargo Seasons 1 & 2
Wagon Train Season 4
The Virginian Season 5
Men from Shiloh
All have a...
The genesis for this thread came from comments in another one, the "Bewitched Season 8" thread (to be specific), concerning issues and ideologies. As several posters were discussing certain aspects to that show the following comment was made:
The original poster emphasized a couple of...
Per Classicflix. This confirms what my Timeless source shared with me several months back! Gary "Timeless continues to deliver great vintage TV on DVD" O.
According to ClassicFlix, Rawhide Season 4, V1 will be released on May 31st! This verifies what my crystal ball said a couple of months ago so I'm very happy! Gary "another 'holy grail' show from my list is coming - yippee!!!" O.
Is it time to start getting concerned about the future of this series? We are now getting announcements for April releases from CBS/Paramount and we've not heard about the next installment of Perry Mason. Last year we did see an April release for this series, but in previous years the release...
Brian Ward at the Shout Factory boards just said they were working on Season One right now! So I'd say we can look for an official release date any time now! Great news!! Gary "Shout continues to impress with their vintage dvd releases" O.
Just got back from my weekly visit to Sam's Club and I hold in my hands the one and only copy they had of Wagon Train Season 2. As with the first set sold there, this one was only $39.97 (plus a little tax) which was perfect for me because I had set $40 as my limit to pay for this season set...
Wow! I just got a great Christmas gift from TVShowsonDVD.com. They are reporting that Warners will be releasing a "Classic TV Christmas Collection" which will include episodes from DR. KILDARE, CHIPS, and EIGHT IS ENOUGH (among others). I'm really stoked about this even though it's coming via...
Brian Ward has answered my question about whether or not we'd see Season 6 of FKB this evening in a somewhat unique way. He specifically said: "We're investigating the source quality of the reunion movies for Season 6's release." The way that's worded I think it's safe to assume...
Simple question: Of your all-time Top 10 favorite TV shows, what's been released on dvd? What's been released, but not finished? What's yet to see a release? As I was putting together yet another personal "Top 10" favorite shows list (I do this at least once a year and the list always...
Universal has done their part. We've got every film the boys made for them. Now we need that WB set, said to be coming 4 or 5 years ago, to finish things out. By my count what we need is an official copy of: Rio Rita Jack & the Beanstalk Capt. Kidd (the UCLA cleaned up version) ...
I had high hopes when Dave and Gord posted a news item about an upcoming LASSIE release from Classic Media. I was hoping it would be the beginning of Season set releases, or at least another mega set like they did a few years back. But yesterday when I checked Amazon.com I saw where this...
According to the latest email I got from ClassicFlix Infinity Entertainment will be releasing the fourth season of The Real McCoys in June. Glad to see Infinity isn't dead in the water and that they are still releasing this series. Gary "that was welcomed news" O.
Per Brian Ward answering a question I had asked about when we might see the next FKB Season set. He said, and I quote, "Look for S5 sometime this Fall."
Yippie!!! As I've said before, at this point Shout Factory is the undisputed King of Classic TV on DVD in my book.
Gary "looks like Shout...
What’s Left is a simple thread with a simple question for everyone. If you could only choose one (or at the very most 3) titles in any given genre, what would you like to see released. This does not concern stalled shows. We are talking only about shows that haven't had any season set releases...
We haven't done this for a while so I thought I'd throw it out for discussion again. What are your top 5 stalled out/abandoned shows that you wish would be completed? If you have less than five go ahead and list them anyhow. 1) Rawhide - For me it has to start with this series. It's been a...
Per Gord and Dave's site, Shout Factory will be releasing Season 4 of Father Knows Best on March 23rd. As always, this is most welcomed news!
Gary "keep 'em coming, only 2 more to go after this upcoming set" O.
How about it? What are some of your favorite Christmas-themed TV episodes? I've got a lot of them myself, but I'll limit myself to the more well known in my first post, and then add more as the days progress. These are in no particular order:
THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, S1 - "A Christmas Story"...
Per my discussions with Brian Ward on the Shout Factory boards and confirmed by Dave and Gord. The really great thing about this dvd set is that it will include...
Drum Roll please...
"Christmas Memory", the holiday episode from WINDOW ON MAIN STREET.
This has been a holy grail Christmas...
