    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    I never saw it on the Disney Channel or Cartoon Network. To the best of my recollection, Boomerang ran the original "Saturday Superstar Movie" version. I don't recall about the closing H-B logo and its soundtrack. It also ran on the 1988 syndicated Yogi Bear Show in two parts.

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    It wasn't even that as I recall -- the first half was the "Yogi's Gang" episode version, the second half was the "Saturday Superstar Movie" version. As I recall, it's a long time since I watched it. The two part version would have been accurate for the series set, as they were the last two...

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    What I recall is they had planned to do Touche Turtle after they had released Wally Gator and Lippy The Lion, but it's the same old story -- they only had 16mm film prints for the cartoons and they didn't have any negatives, so the quality wasn't deemed good enough. Now, that's all well and...

    Laurel & Hardy: Year One

    They were released on VHS and DVD some 20+ years ago as "The Lost Films Of Laurel And Hardy." Many were transferred from the original camera negatives, which are now long gone. At the time, only the first reel (minus one scene) of "The Battle Of The Century" was known to be extant (plus clips of...

    Laurel & Hardy: Year One

    Wouldn't it be ironic for it to be found in pristine condition, simply because it wasn't in Michael Agee's garage with the rest of them?

    Shows cut before broadcast

    "Fractured Flickers" has one episode that's a couple minutes shorter, supposedly because there was a segment making reference to JFK and it was removed after he was killed.

    Closing logos question

    That's interesting -- I know the 1970s syndicated package started with the first color episode and then abruptly ended in the middle of a season (but I don't remember which season). I remember the "V of doom" being on the B&W episodes on Nick At Nite, but I also seem to remember the "pinball"...

    I am glad the shorter Fox logo is out there on an official release. I don't work in the industry, but there is a member here who works in post production and has commented on this kind of stuff -- punching in a shot in the M*A*S*H opening titles from a cleaner source than was used in the...

    Closing logos question

    On the first (later corrected) release of Batman Season 1, the first episode (the version missing the narration at the beginning) has the right 20th Century Fox end logo  visuals, but the audio is from a 1990s or 2000s version. On the corrected disc, the logo is correct.

    It's more than an early fade. It's a different recording of the fanfare. It was like that on 1970s TV showings, Family Channel reruns and on the (apparently Mark Hamill sourced) bootleg set.

    Closing logos question

    Yeah, I figure they color corrected it and remastered it just once and then cut and pasted it onto every episode thinking it was the same. Maybe that's what happened on the Warner Archive release of "Secret Squirrel" too -- 23 out of 26 Secret Squirrel cartoons have the wrong fanfare on the end...

    It was shortened for the 1967-68 season and was like that until the DVDs and Blu-Rays. (Except when the reruns had a 1990s version "plastered.")

    Yeah, so I specifically made it a point to record "My Three Sons" this morning and there was no Viacom logo. #354 "Fit The Crime" (Season 11/Episode 22). It figures.

    Closing logos question

    The correct Fox logos are at the end of Seasons 1 and 2 of Batman on DVD, but they screwed up and used the wrong end logo on the Season 3 episodes. It should be the shorter version.

    When did CBS retire use of "in color" open logo?

    I don't think the original peacock was regularly used that late. I believe in its last years (through the end of 1975) it was only used on specials. The (first) "new" peacock was introduced in 1979.

    Closing logos question

    Yes, there was a different Paramount fanfare which I seem to recall first hearing at the end of the syndicated series "Make Me Laugh" which premiered in January 1979 IIRC. That fanfare replaced the one used through most of the 1970s.

    Closing logos question

    Has this ever been attempted -- I would think it must have been -- to compile a list of where vintage end logos can be found on DVD or current reruns such as on digital subchannels? "Happy Days" Season 1 has the original Paramount end logo on the episodes, but after that it's changed to...

    Closing logos question

    I don't know how this all works, but there were a couple episodes of the Monkees that ran 10 or more years ago on Antenna TV which had a later Columbia or Sony logo, then a few seconds of black screen and then the original 1960s Screen Gems logo and/or the 1960s NBC snake and chimes. It almost...

    This morning on Me-TV "My Three Sons" ended with the usual current CBS Television Distribution, and then that was followed with the early 1970s Viacom "Pinball" end logo. Several weeks ago I happened to catch the end of another "My Three Sons" episode which had sponsor products in the closing...

    The Monkees TV Series & 33⅓ Revolutions per Monkee + "Head" (1968) movie, coming to Blu

    The music on the DVD menus is much louder than the audio on the shows, and what made matters worse for me is, I find the TV theme song annoying in the first place, even though the Monkees are one of my favorite groups. What's really irritating is if I ever mention I like the Monkees, sometimes...

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    I would still like to see "Heathcliff And Marmaduke" (they already released the first season, "Heathcliff And Dingbat") as well as "The Flintstone Comedy Hour" and "The New Fred And Barney Show."

    I Dream of Jeannie copyright years

    I noticed when Rhino restored the correct Season 1 opening on the first season of the Monkees TV series, both the Season 1 and Season 2 intros have a 1966 copyright date, even though the visuals are completely different. It was probably like that all along? I don't have I Dream Of Jeannie on...

    Happy Days: Any Hope for More Seasons?

    My "intro show" was "Gilligan's Island." The Seasons 1-6 DVD set (I guess coincidentally) includes the exact* set of episodes which were initially launched in syndication under the title "Happy Days Again" in the fall of 1979. However, more episodes were added as time went on. I don't know the...

    The Monkees TV Series & 33⅓ Revolutions per Monkee + "Head" (1968) movie, coming to Blu

    Here's the thing, we know a bunch of unassembled materials were lost or misplaced in a warehouse move, but we don't know if that has anything to do with the sets that were found prior to Micky's tour. The way Andrew described it, he had approached Rhino for older tour merchandise including old...

    The Monkees TV Series & 33⅓ Revolutions per Monkee + "Head" (1968) movie, coming to Blu

    I don't know how that all works. Andrew did say when the set was first announced that there would be a "general release" set later without the extras, but that was six years ago and the physical media landscape hasn't improved since then. I know Warner owns Rhino but I don't know if WHV or...

    The Monkees TV Series & 33⅓ Revolutions per Monkee + "Head" (1968) movie, coming to Blu

    I always thought it looked like toilet paper (although clearly it's supposed to be a reel of film unspooling). I used to call it the toilet paper logo. I'm glad it's back at the end of the episodes. There was one episode I recorded from Antenna TV a number of years ago that had the Colex logo...

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    I'm sure I have seen a picture of this -- it may even have been used in a meme that said something like "if you get this, you're old."
