Although few episodes survive, Queen for a Day belongs on any list of all-time stinkers. Granted, it was daytime television, but it was rotten enough to be included on any list.

I want to know just what is meant by "on demand."

Get Smart Season 3 Route 66 Season 3, Volume 1 Mister Ed, Season 1

I agree about Kino. I have purchased items from them for years. I greatly appreciate their work in bringing silent and independent films to the public.

Ebay's "Buy It Now" is also an alternative for purchasing Criterion discs. Now mind you, some of the eBay DVD businesses will charge almost what Criterion, Amazon, or DVD stores charge, but some of the discs can be had at a halfway reasonable price. I purchased The Red Shoes recently for $15...

Season Two of The Real McCoys.

As far as I am concerned, unless or until the major DVD outfits release official season sets of these vintage shows, I will take what I can get.

The same is true for Beulah, although Alpha Video has recently released four episodes of this series. This show is much like Hazel, and there is nothing whatsoever offensive about it. You could say there are a few stereotypes in Amos 'n' Andy, but that doesn't mean it isn't one of the greatest...

Thanks for the heads up. I am have been disgusted with them ever since they stopped taking money orders.

I am furious over this. Not all of us out here have access to Amazon, which has screwed up royal with its new "credit card only" policy. There are many of us who do NOT have credit cards. The only option for me is to order from eBay with PayPal if I can't get videos through Suncoast Video or...

My major complaint of 1930s DVDs is very few Jean Harlow films are available to date. I don't know if whoever owns the rights to her films is waiting for her centennial in 2011 to release the bulk of her films. I had almost all of them on VHS, but there are few titles on DVD. Bombshell and...

The films were better then overall. The studio system, for whatever flaws it had, was run by people who understood the movies and understood the public. The system also the talent which isn't there today.

Most of those I'd like, but I'd also add official releases of the following: Ben Casey He & She When Things Were Rotten My Mother, the Car It's About Time Run, Buddy Run East Side/West Side Finish off the following: Mary Tyler Moore Show All in the Family Leave It to Beaver...

Add Run Buddy Run to that list.

Two of my favorite turkeys not on DVD yet and need to be: Beyond the Forest The Oscar

I agree about Route 66. What a great, great, great show that was. And looking at it 40 years later, it is fun to look at the various parts of the country, especially those I am familiar with (Reno, southern Oregon, Utah, and Arizona) to see how different those places look now as opposed to then.

One of the most entertaining bad movies of all time: The Oscar (1966). I have it on VHS. So bad it's great. I'd take one of those to 10 Citizen Kanes.

No way will I buy a Criterion release. Alpha Video's version wasn't bad for the most part, and I will not pay $40 bucks for a film readily available.

I agree. I bought this set, flaws and all. If an imperfect release is the best we get, then I will buy all of the season sets.

I don't know if anybody has mentioned it, but you can get Titicut Follies directly through Zipporah Films at this link. Note all of Wiseman's available documentaries are on DVD-Rs, not pressed DVDs as in general release DVDs, so be warned. Titicut Follies is available for private purchase for...

My favorite era in film is the silent/early sound era. It simply is the most interesting historically, and there were many good films then. Now it's time for somebody to get Brownlow and Gill's Hollywood out on DVD. That was the best documentary series ever, in my opinion.

Of course DVDs are worth collecting. I still have between 400-500 VHS titles, most of those being classic movies of the silent era, 30s, and 40s. Many of the DVDs I have bought have been replacements for the old VHS films. I like to collect the classics. I do have a few more recent films, films...

This has to be one of the best releases of the year. I just purchased the set today, and The Jazz Singer never looked and sounded better. Great job.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents Season 3. I can't keep up with watching the vintage series anymore. I am just taking my time watching them. Later this week I will buy the Route 66 DVD.

But Shatner never had the bod to show off. He had a tendency to get flabby, so he HAD to keep his shirt on. Not that he was ugly, of course, he certainly wasn't. But he wasn't built like Conrad, who was an athlete. And who cares if one of the main draws of the WWW was Conrad's looks? I watch...

That's another set I'll have to get. I also made note of the upcoming releases The Untouchables, and the second seasons of F Troop and Rawhide. I've been saying on this board to cut the studios a little bit of slack here when it comes to the classic television series, especially when the...

That doesn't mean the show won't be released. The show is a cult classic and has a big following.
