Greetings All,   From time to time for several years, I have seen major programing errors in my program guide. Although I am serviced my Time Warner Cable, I have learned that the Guide Data is programmed through a company called Tribune Media Services, and every year when I see certain...

Hi All, As an avid fan of Children's Television growing up in the 60's-70's I grew up with the classic versions of Sesame Street that defined the greatness of children's TV. (Anything Pre-Elmo!) My question is how many of the original seasons or episodes from this era are still known to...

Hi All, Many of you in Chicago may be familiar with ME-TV. Well, as of today, March 1, 2008, ME-TV in Milwaukee makes its debut on Digital TV 58.3 and on Time Warner Cable, digital channel 201! Check out this schedule. This is certainly as its motto says, "Classic TV Defined:" ME-TV...

I just went to their website: www.mtr.org and saw that the name has been changed, to The Paley Center, in honor of William Paley who founded CBS. What do you TV experts think of such a change? I actually liked the old MTR better because it is more easily identifiable to the general public...

What network aired the classic children's shows, Romper Room and Captain Kangaroo from the 60's-70's. I remember watching those shows as a kid. How long did they last? Is it known whether any of the episodes from these shows still exist today? Jack

Guys, Since we have so many noted TV historians on the board and it looks like the complete series of LITB will never come out on DVD so that it can be seen uncut, I wonder if any of you remember a scene from Season 6, in the episode, "The Book Report." Recall that this is the episode where...

Guys, To begin, I missed the opening sequence. Did they show the regular Brady squares? The reason that I asked is explained below: It was interesting. The first part (Hawaii Bound) actually showed a few scenes that I had not seen before on TV Land when comparing them to the DVD print! For...

Guys, From NBC Universal: Chiller TV, from the same company who created the Sleuth channel will offer a 24x7 station devoted to Horror Movies and classic Horror series. The launch date is March 1, 2007. The regular schedule begins on March 5th, 2007. Classic mystery and suspense series...

Guys, Found this on "YouTube" The first is a clip from Season 1's intro sung by the Wellington's. But notice that in this version, the famous lyrics, "abourd this tiny ship." are replaced with "aboard this SEA ship!" Check it out! Trying to figure out why? If there are any GI historians or...

Guys, If you have the DVD of LITB Season 2, and watch the "Her Idol" episode, pause it as Ward is holding and reading the letter sent home by Mrs. Rayburn about Beaver fighting in the hall with Larry and the kids cuz he's being picked on for having a crush on Linda Dennison: Only the last...

Guys, When can we expect this on DVD in the United States? Is it true that their was a U.K DVD produced? Who owns the home video rights to this series? Please post any updates. Thanks! Jack

Any word guys? Jack

FINAL REVIEW/EVALUATION OF THE BRADY BUNCH DVD's The transfers were good. But not great. This is primiarly because of the source material not being cared for as well as it should have been. With Paramount doing their syndicated edits from the master tapes very early on, much material had to...

Guys, For the last several years, several Brady Bunch fans and I have composed a comparion list of cut/restored scenes doing contrasts from the syndicated/TV Land prints. (A DVD scene restoration list, which occurs on later pages is also avaliable for reference.) Right now, I am starting a...

Guys, Anyone know if or when this gem of a series with the great Prof. Charles Kingsfield, played beyond brilliantly by John Houseman will be released to DVD? As some who were fortunate enough to remember this landmark series, CBS picked it up in the Fall of 1978. However, it ran for only one...

Guys, We all know about Robert Reed's influence on the scripts, particularly begining with the second season when his friend Tam Spiva is assigned as scrpit editor on several episodes. But even after post-production, what scenes or lines do you think were left in that were stupid or just...

Guys, If you have ever seen "I Didn't Raise My Pig To Be A Soilder" (a.k.a "Arnold is Drafted") on TV LAND, you can see just how bad it is. Not in terms of storyline, but in terms of episode print quality. It is obviously a 16mm or 35mm back up print that they used. I thought the film was...

Guys, As most of you know, the quality of the Brady Bunch DVD's varies from scene to scene because Paramout appeared to do their syndication cuts from the original negatives and had to resort to 16mm/35mm back up prints, so that the DVD's would be uncut. I don't have Season 5 yet, but I...

Guys, I heard that based on the packaging seen that there are NO EXTRAS. (again.) This is a MAJOR disappointment by Paramount. Anyway, this release is scheduled for March 7th. Kudos to Paramount for the promptness in the releases, and with the exception of some mild cuts on the vacation...

Guys, What has always bugged me about some of these entertainment furnature pieces is that they often don't allow enough room for ventilation. We have a cabinent where room is provided for our TV which sits on top and a large opening for our DVD/VCR combo unit. On top of that unit sits our...

Guys, On "Call Me Irresponsible" you know the part where Randy Peterson is doing the scene with the drama teacher and Greg gets hit with the flowers when the teacher opens the door? For some strange reason, I remember watching this scene and having them do the scene at least two times...

Guys, I did hear some disaapointing news that we have a line trimmed from the "Pass The Tabu" Hawaii episode according to a poster on the Brady Bunch board at Sitcoms Online. He claimes a line (which I remember) when the boys are trying to decide what to do with the Tiki Idol is NOT on the...

Guys, There is a lot to say from Brady officials like us about this episode and most all of it is negative. This episode is very hard to watch because the character of Skip Farnum is so out of place it is nauseating. Everyone overacts terribly and you can see the disgust in Robert Reed's face...

Guys, Why is it that shows like I Love Lucy and Leave it to Beaver have held up in terms of picture quality over time on TV Land's/syndicated prints of these episodes (for the most part) where as other shows from the same era are in such poor quality that they are barely recognizable? I...

Guys, A poster on another Brady Bunch board claims that some small dialogue has been cut from this episode. This is below and what follows is what I claim to remember about the lines. Please check your DVD's on this episode and let me know!: Quote: Originally Posted by nice I saw the...
