So many sketches to choose from, but I'll have to say "Mildred Fierce", their parody of Mildred Pierce. Carol was a note perfect Joan Crawford, and Vicki was the epitome of a spoiled brat as Veda. You can tell how much of a classic movie fan Carol was by her sharp, but loving, send ups of old...
I'm in. First time viewing in red. Movies: 1. Phantom Ship (The Mystery of the Mary Celeste) (1935) 2. The Snorkle (1958) 3. Stop Me Before I Kill! (The Full Treatment) (1960) 4. The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960) 5. Scream of Fear (Taste of Fear) (1961) 6. The Curse of...
The sleeves won't fit into the slots in the book, but the flaps on my sleeves do. I was just going to put the sleeves in between the book's pages, but decided to try slipping the flaps into the page slots just to hold the DVDs in place. And it works surprisingly well.
My first season tin arrived from Amazon today, and I'm very pleased with my purchase. The tin itself is a beaut. The detail stamped on the cover is impressive.
Looks like Timeless learned a few lessons from last year's Wagon Train tin. Instead of a board book, this book has pages of...
And, once again, this is part of the current Timeless lot (along with Alias Smith and Jones, The Oregon Trail, and Frontier Circus) available at Sam's for $19.88... if you can find it. I've only seen it at one of my local Sam's, and they only had one copy. (Similarly, my other local Sam's only...
I just saw on another MGM MOD (The House of the Long Shadows) on Amazon that customers were complaining that their DVDs were defective, and that this was a widespread problem.
"Currently, all MGM DVD-Rs are being investigated for defects by Amazon.com. Hopefully, they will resolve this...
Perhaps Kurt's father has been remodeling an older house over the years. Up till now the number of bedrooms had not been a problem, but I imagine that the necessity of an additional bathroom was realized early on. Still, it's stated that the Hummel house is twice as large as the Hudsons'...
Kudos to the writers for putting an obscure film reference into Kurt's mouth: "I used Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper in Morocco as my inspiration." Only Kurt would decorate a room in early Josef von Sternberg. If it helps sell more copies of Marlene Dietrich: The Glamour...
I have never seen any Timeless releases at my Costco, but they always have some at Sam's. This may be something that varies from region to region. I've visited enough locations of both chains around the country to notice that they tailor their inventory to the local demographic. And I'm...
They have to be edited prints, because I noticed one scene shown in a preview that did not appear in the following episode. I also saw some obvious blunt cuts in some of the short episodes, but, in general, the editing on the shorter episodes is seemless enough that unless you notice the...
According to this website

the first color episode was Episode 268, September 12, 1966.
And now...
Since Shout! didn't include episode listings in their releases (or even bother to list which episodes are on which DVDs), I decided to...
Victoria, in these pre-Barnabas stories, is cut from the same cloth as Nancy Drew, with plenty of intelligence and initiative, which is logical since she was designed as the lead character of the soap, out to discover the secret of her past. But post-Barnabas, Victoria's plotline was thrown...
I found Frontier Circus on sale at Sam's Club for $19.88 (same price as for The Oregon Trail, and even the same Sam's product lot number on the price tag.) After checking out each DVD, the quality is about standard for a Timeless release, similar to Wagon Train S1. And Wagon Train is the...
"Leviathan Five" is part of the package RTN has, because I caught it during the show's brief run on my local affiliate. However, RTN appears to run the episodes without rhyme or reason, so I could never tell which episode would show up next.
I bought this at Sam's Club yesterday for $19.88 (their standard price for these Timeless releases.) The bad news: yes, these are 16mm transfers, and they are soft looking and rough in patches. However, in general, the color is good. The good news: all the episodes appear to be uncut...
I don't think vapidity was the problem; I think invisibility was the problem. I barely remember the show in its network run, and I never saw it in syndication afterwards. For the majority of the DVD buying public, it was an unknown quantity.
I just got back from Costco, where they had Mad Men S3 in SD for $29.99. But when I checked out, the register scan took an additional $5 off. So there's a instant $5 coupon available for any season of Mad Men. Didn't see it in BD, though.
For me, the originality of the Laura Collins storyline is the fact that she is a human phoenix, which is a concept I have never run across anywhere else. Additionally, since the idea is so original, the viewer is uncertain how a phoenix could be defeated, while every child learns the rules for...
The Laura Collins story arc is one of my favorites, just for its sheer originality. Plus you can see it as the model for what the original Barnabas arc was supposed to be, before the character took off. As for the kinescope insert, perhaps the original videotape was damaged, and MPI used the...
Well, Timeless and Sam's Club do it again. They have Alias Smith and Jones: Seasons 2 & 3 out on the shelves NOW, a month before the official release date... and for only $19.88!
For those who haven't completed their VTTBOTS collections yet, HamiltonBook.com has all the volumes for the first three seasons of the show for $16.95 each. Also at that price are volumes of Lost in Space (S2-3), The Bob Newhart Show (S1-4), Hill Street Blues (S2), The Mary Tyler Moore Show...
The tin is looking like what I suspected -- a repeat of the packaging they used for Wagon Train S1.
According to TVShowsonDVD.com the tin does have all the extras from the two S1 bonus discs combined on one DVD, plus an extra interview with Roberta Shore.
The Virginian - Extras, Including...
This is getting a wide distribution. I've seen it on the shelves at both Best Buy and Target. But checking the packaging reveals that the length is 77 minutes. So with all this talk of a 90 minute cut, does it no longer exist? Or did it ever exist? 77 minutes is not out of line for films...
