    MPI to release Honeymooners Christmas Carol special

    This is the last remaining unreleased 1970s special, is it not? Odd to see this now as I think all the previous Color Honeymooners sets are out of print. Also, the listed extras look familiar, like they've been released before. Still glad to see it coming...

    Sanford Arms

    Big "Sanford And Son" fan. I also watched the sequel series "Sanford" without Lamont. I have never seen the attempted continuation "Sanford Arms." I've read that eight episodes were produced, but only four aired. Apparently six of the episodes (including two that never aired) are out there in...

    Closing logos question

    I read with interest frequent discussions about closing logos on TV shows -- variations, cases where they've been partially or entirely cut off, "plastered," etc. I always find it very cool to see the original logos at the end of vintage shows, I guess because it seems so rare, i.e. more often...

    Best Of SNL (1979-80 series)?

    The first five seasons of "Saturday Night Live" have been on DVD for years, so this might be kind of moot, but I remember watching a compilation series called "The Best Of Saturday Night Live" which aired (IIRC) for 13 weeks during the 1979-80 season. It was preceded by at least one (maybe two?)...

    Regular Show

    I see how "Adventure Time" had a complete series set released fairly recently. But "Regular Show" seems completely dead in the water. I'd really like to get the rest of it, it was a great show -- and this is coming from someone who really doesn't follow contemporary animation. Any chance?

    "In The News" (CBS Saturday morning series)

    I imagine this would never be commercially released, but I'd buy it if it was. "In The News" was a short educational segment run between shows Saturday mornings on CBS. It was hosted (via voice-over narration) by Christopher Glenn. It ran for many years -- I wonder how many they did, and if...

    People's Court with Wapner?

    Just thinking about this. I enjoyed the People's Court with Judge Wapner when I was in high school. I wonder if there's any possibility of a DVD release, or MOD, or streaming, or whatever. I know there were zillions of episodes (well, not zillions but a lot). Were they even archived? I have...

    Happy Days question

    I did a search and didn't really find an answer. I was a big fan of "Happy Days" when it originally aired -- our family watched it every week at 7:00 on Tuesday nights, as well as the ABC daytime reruns and later in syndication as "Happy Days Again." However, I really haven't watched this series...

    Harveytoons question

    For some reason I have gotten on a Harveytoons kick and have been revisiting the so-called "Complete Collection" DVD set that came out back in 2006. I also have the Casper complete 2-DVD set and the Herman & Katnip disc, which leads me to my question... The Casper complete set includes two...

    Filmation Sabrina re-release

    Apologies if this has been mentioned before. Apparently it's been out for a couple months but I just discovered this. Looks to be a clone of the earlier Genius Entertainment set, just with different cover artwork. No idea about the other Archie series...

    Milton Berle Show 1966

    I have done searches and haven't found anything on this. Got thinking about this with the recent release of the Jackie Gleason and Red Skelton shows. "Uncle Miltie" came back with new shows in the fall of 1966. From what I have read, his revival was not successful and his new show only lasted...

    The New Howdy Doody Show 1976

    I know The New Howdy Doody Show has a bad reputation among fans of the original Howdy Doody show -- heck, I watched it in 1976 and was a big fan, yet I'll be the first one to tell you the original show was better -- but I retain a fondness for it and it continues to be a "guilty pleasure." I...

    Archie (Filmation) questions

    The Filmation Archie series are kind of a "guilty pleasure" for me. I picked up all the now-out-of-print DVDs that were released here in the States, but they never finished releasing all the series. Prior to the three Genius sets ("The Archie Show," "Archie's Funhouse" and "Sabrina The Teenage...

    The Alvin Show

    I picked it up. Three episodes (out of 26) of the 1961 series (including a repeat of the one released on The Very First Alvin Show DVD). Looks and sounds very good. I was a little surprised to find that on the "cold opening" segment before the opening titles on the first episode, there is no...

    Great Space Coaster

    For years I have been curious about this show from the early 1980s, whether the tapes still existed or not. The last time I ever saw it airing anywhere was when USA Network showed reruns in (IIRC) the mid-1980s. There also was one single VHS/Beta highlight compilation released during its...

    Tennessee Tuxedo DVD set from Shout Factory

    Mark Arnold, who was a consultant on the set, denies DVNR was used. I disagree, I think it clearly was. Whether Shout Factory or Classic Media did it is another question. I have mixed feelings about this collection. Very nice to have this stuff, but it was clearly a rush job and the compilers...

    Laurel & Hardy question

    I know there have been several Laurel & Hardy threads here, but there's something I really would like to get sorted out -- I know this has been discussed but I don't know if it has been definitively answered: Between all the various international releases, I know different versions of certain...

    Warner Archive question

    I know there are a couple of Warner Archive threads in "Film & Documentary," but my question doesn't seem to fit in either of those... Have they stated whether there are any plans or intentions to eventually release TV series through Warner Archive (shows that might not get a mainstream DVD...

    Three Stooges Trilogy at Wal-Mart

    A friend alerted me to this. There is a DVD collection called The Three Stooges Trilogy, including the later feature films The Three Stooges Meet Hercules, The Outlaws Is Coming and The Three Stooges In Orbit. From what I can tell, it's in selected Wal-Mart stores -- don't know if it's available...

    Adam West Batman question

    Okay...I'll try and ask this without violating any rules/laws... I've, shall I say, "seen" versions of the Adam West Batman series that start off with a vintage ABC color logo intro...three circles run across the screen and morph into the ABC logo and a voice says "ABC presents this program...

    Question about SNL-related specials

    I'm looking forward to the forthcoming Saturday Night Live Season 3 release. I've been enjoying watching the shows released so far and it got me thinking about some of the specials that were done around that time, which featured some or all of the cast. I note that the Mardi Gras show was...

    Banana Splits ??? (Still planned for 2007?)

    Haven't heard any further details beyond the announcement of several Hanna-Barbera shows (including Wally Gator, Quick Draw McGraw, another season of Scooby-Doo, Banana Splits and several others) which were being "tentatively planned" for DVD release by WB in 2007. I know Earl Kress made one...
