Thanks for the screen caps Neal! Out here in Dogpatch, Lower Slobovia, I'm supposed to have my Colt .45 set by next Wednesday!
Big fan here of the great Andrew Duggan! What a presence he was in 12 O'clock High and Lancer, among his many guest starring roles in just about every series in my...
My copy of the Colt .45 Blu set shipped yesterday from Amazon! Though as I'm in Canada, my expected delivery is Wednesday the 27th.
Thanks to Mark McSherry for his valuable and encouraging great news about the bumper cards, announcer voice overs, next week promos (on at least some episodes)...
Great stuff in this thread, Bob, Bert, Scott/Ponset, Jeff and everyone! much appreciated! I love this Dell Roy Rogers Comics #11 cover for November 1948...
"When I read quite a few books in the '90s about the 8th Air Force and such I got fascinated with the artwork and the names that were painted on the sides of the B-17's. It's referred to as "nose art" and then I discovered there are many many books about just that very thing! Memphis Belle is...
Ha, ha! Alan, once again you prove that, as the witty comedian you are, you should be working the big rooms in Vegas! We need more of you here on the HTF!
Having shot my bolt in buying the new Colt .45 Blu, thanks for this brainstorm to obtain my Magnum P.I. Blu-ray set...I meet Tom Selleck in...
Welcome back Dave! Sorry to hear of your recent health emergency. Good to hear you are on the mend. God Bless You in your further recovery, and may Good Fortune only be in your future!
Dave, you have a wealth of great television just in those two long-running series, which coincidentally both...
Adjacent to Colt .45...good guy Will Hutchens (Sugarfoot), WB studio chief Jack Warner and good guy Clint Walker (Cheyenne), looking like they're enjoying each other's company on the WB lot...I imagine Wayde Preston was off flying his transport plane at the time, just the way he wanted it...some...
Good guy Will Hutchens (Sugarfoot), WB studio chief (and tightwad) Jack Warner and good guy Clint Walker (Cheyenne) looking like they're enjoying each others' company...
Colt .45 (1957-60, 67 eps.) Warner Archive complete series Blu-ray on 10 discs, pre-order. Starring Wayde Preston, Donald May with many great guest stars and familiar faces. What an unexpected and pleasant surprise for this rare series to get a disc release, let alone transferred to Blu-ray from...
Part deux of my Gigi Perreau on The Rifleman...
Lovely Gigi returned in season three's Death Trap (May 9, 1961, the same week that America's first man-in-space Alan Sheppard flew the first Mercury-Redstone, after an earlier flight with baby chimp 'Ham', who returned safely to great...
I want The Looters (I'm a fan of lovely Julia Adams, also Ray Danton and Rory Calhoun). With welcome support by screen veterans Thomas Gomez and Frank Faylen. I've seen it on YT some years ago (now taken down). It might not be a great film, but it's a typically delicious 1950s WS Universal...
Beautiful post Neal on Twilight Zone's The Long Morrow! I agree that this poignant episode with fine performances by Robert Lansing and Marriette Hartley gets lost in the mix of that series' many great episodes, and deserves to be remembered!
Great rundown Doug of your varied and numerous...
Hey Bud, as the cinema aficionado that you are, thanks for going slumming here and lending your sunshine to our dreary proceedings in our classic/vintage TV ghetto. We obviously lack your incisive and artistic cinema intellect as we peasants appreciate these archaic boob-tube artifacts like the...
We're finally getting a look at the back (looks like a slipcover?) of the upcoming Colt .45 Blu set...and, this series has another Sandy Koufax vintage appearance (the 'left hand of God', famous Brooklyn and LA Dodgers Hall-of Fame pitcher, twice WS MVP with 4 no-hitters and a perfect game in...
Great star tributes you guys!
Neal...epic and awesome thoroughly illustrated posts on Sherry Jackson, Hugh Beaumont and Dane Clark! Great caps from Dane Clark and Joan Marshall's 'Bold Venture' (sure wish Timeless or TGG had given that a DVD release) and including Sherry's guest star appearance...
Here's a fascinating video from Rob Word's YT channel A Word on Westerns (12:46), where producer John Strong, a personal friend of Colt .45's Wayde Preston (who now owns Wayde's pearl handle Colts), discusses his friend Wayde Preston, the Colt .45 TV series, Wayde's 'loan' from tightwad Jack...
Thanks Scott for the kind words and your own posts recounting the enjoyable and still very funny Gilligan's Island...the great Jim Backus and his dimwit wife Natalie Schaeffer are leading assets on that show, but the whole cast is great (Ginger, Mary-Ann and the Howells seem to have at least 6...
I keep checking for pre-order availability for Colt .45 complete series, and will order at first opportunity, even if street date is delayed. We know it's coming.
I already have all of the WAC DVD releases of their B+W Western TV series (Cheyenne, Maverick, Sugarfoot, Bronco, The Dakotas)...
Great work Jeff, Neal, Doug, John, Steve, Ben, Dietcola and all you guys! As always, you have me diving back into my collection to revisit favorite shows!
And I've also been revisiting this 1970s/1940s throwback war series...
Baa Baa Black Sheep/Black Sheep Squadron S2E10 Hotshot (March 15...
For All Mankind Season One Blu-ray (10 episodes of the Apple+ 'what if?' SF series on a 4 disc Sony Blu-ray Region A set), seasons' two and three have already been released overseas, presumably to follow here at some point. Price was certainly right on this item when I snagged it.
I watched the new KL Blu of The Hell With Heroes on the weekend too, and can concur with what you guys have said. I'm a big fan of Rod Taylor (also just received the WAC Blu of Sunday in New York, another great Rod Taylor film), the intense Harry Guardino and and a choice role for Peter Deuel...
Great work in this thread all you guys! Well done!
As for me, among other things I've revisited lately...
Cheyenne/Cheyenne Show S6E2 Trouble Street (Oct. 2, 1961) W: Buckley Angell, D: Robert Sparr. Starring Clint Walker. Guest starring James Coburn, Mala Powers, Tom Drake, Lee Van Cleef...
