    A Quinn Martin Production

    In the small town I grew up in 50 years ago those types of X crossings had DO NOT PASS on the posts. Looks like plenty of room for the DO NOT, but it’s not there.

    Vintage TV Movies: DVD/BD Labels, Websites?

    No it’s not just CBS properties. A good example is some of the various series created by Stephen J. Cannell. The Paley Center has episodes of The Rockford Files, Black Sheep Squadron, Baretta, The Greatest American Hero, The A-Team, Wiseguy, Renegade, 21 Jump Street, and Profit. Only Wiseguy...

    The Guns of Will Sonnet: Complete Series (CBS MOD)

    I never had an appreciation for Westerns until 20 years ago when I was well into my 30s. I’ve haven’t seen this series, but since I never bought the Timeless set and I’ve found this discussion interesting I’ll buy this wonky color chopped up rerelease.

    Press Release Paramount Press Release: Bonanza: The Complete Series (DVD)

    Sadly Deep Discount is not offering a 20% today (June 1st) they are offering a 10% if that helps anyone.

    Adam 12

    I think you meant to type 1989-91, the same 2 season time period that The New Adam-12 was produced for syndication. Even though I have never seen the episodes I believe Milner and McCord show up a couple of times as guest stars portraying their original Adam-12 characters.

    Non USA releases that are not as cut (music replacements etc. ) as their USA counterparts.

    I totally agree with you. It mucks up the entire episode. I hate all the music replacements in the series. While not TGAH, I caught some of Decades weekend binge of Riptide. I can’t say 100% about every song because I didn’t watch every episode, but at least some of the original music missing...

    Classic TV Promos, Commercials and Bloopers - Post ‘Em!

    Danny Dark’s voiceover work on the V promos is outstanding.

    Classic TV Promos, Commercials and Bloopers - Post ‘Em!

    Next week preview for Hardcastle & McCormick that aired after the pilot movie. Voiced by the great Ernie Anderson.

    Non USA releases that are not as cut (music replacements etc. ) as their USA counterparts.

    You are welcome, glad I could provide some information. It was one of my favorites as a teenager also. :)

    Non USA releases that are not as cut (music replacements etc. ) as their USA counterparts.

    Thanks! Those 1st season teasers before the opening credits were produced in house by ABC with the voiceover by Ernie Anderson. The 2nd and 3rd season were cut together at Cannell Productions and were delivered to the network attached to the episodes.

    Non USA releases that are not as cut (music replacements etc. ) as their USA counterparts.

    I don’t know what happened with Anchor Bay, I just worked with them on TGAH. I provided series information, photos, contact info, that kinda thing. I also wrote the trivia questions included in the season 2 release. My biggest regret with that was including a question about the song Eve of...

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

    I would buy 28 of those on your list. 😁

    Non USA releases that are not as cut (music replacements etc. ) as their USA counterparts.

    Just so you are aware, the blu ray set is just an upscale. Nothing was scanned from original film elements. If you play the original Anchor Bay DVDs in a blu ray player that upscales and watch the same episode from the Japanese blu ray set side by side the blu ray episode has a slightly better...

    Non USA releases that are not as cut (music replacements etc. ) as their USA counterparts.

    I have both the Japanese DVDs and Blu ray set of TGAH, and all the original music is intact. I highly doubt that the new VEI release will have the original tunes. Cannell wasn't going to pony up the dough originally, and I'm sure VEI will be provided the same music replaced masters everyone has...

    Rare shows uncut on streaming services

    Thanks for the heads up on Salvage 1. No pilot movie and 3 of the 4 episodes not broadcast on ABC aren’t included. The remaining 15 are available.

    Inside Mill Creek's new Magnum, P.I. all-in-one Blu

    Yes, that’s my understanding.

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Absolutely! That’s why I own 3, and a PVR.

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    CRACKLE currently has a couple of dozen Crazy Like A Fox episodes streaming. In case you weren’t aware of it. Not as good as a physical release, but at least it’s something.

    TV on DVD news roundup

    Mill Creek replaced nothing. The music cuts or substitutions are in the Cannell masters distributed in the U.S. be it physical media, streaming, or broadcast television.

    Anyone have experience buying TV DVDs/Blu rays from German sites? (looking for Hunter)

    The Rockford Files is from when Cannell worked at Universal, it’s out on blu for the same reason as The A-Team. Chase, Toma, Baretta, & City of Angels are also owned by Universal. I would love to see even just a DVD release of Chase & City of Angels but I doubt if that will ever happen. I have...

    Anyone have experience buying TV DVDs/Blu rays from German sites? (looking for Hunter)

    Actually there are three TV movies. Hunter: Back in Force in 2003 was the 3rd that led up to the new series. NBC aired 3 episodes of the new show, and the remaining 2 shows were left on the shelf. Doubtful these will ever be included in a mega Hunter set because somewhere there are different...

    Any chance for "A Man Called Sloane"?

    Its not in their syndication bible like the other QM series they own.

    Werewolf: Official Release Announced

    I have the Elephant release of Gemini Man, that set looks good and it's PAL Region 2. I also have their blu ray release of Baa Baa Black Sheep, it's region free and looks great on my 50 inch screen.

    International Blue Thunder the series coming to Blu-ray

    Yep, you are correct about the people. I recognize many names on the production side of things, including Huggins. I think he left right before the last episode, or last couple of episodes. Not sure what kind of budget they were working with, but the production value looks like it's on the...

    International Blue Thunder the series coming to Blu-ray

    The first casting reports for the Blue Thunder TV series had Gil Gerard down as the lead, I wonder if he smelled the "stink" on the show and backed out? Dana Carvey said in a TV Guide interview years later that this was the only thing he was ever fired from, which explains why JAFO isn't in the...

    It Takes A Thief: The Complete Series DVD Review

    The ONLY thing Universal spent $ on for G80: the flying motorcycles, Dr. Zee's anti-gravity ship, Cylon A-B fighter, and Adama's beard. :biggrin:

    International Blue Thunder the series coming to Blu-ray

    Elephant Films is releasing the short lived ABC series on Blu later this year. Not a very good series overall, but as a fan of the helicopter this is a day one purchase for me. EF releases quite a bit of US programming, hopefully they continue.

    It Takes A Thief: The Complete Series DVD Review

    Everything Universal has not released is blamed on the fire, (although Scott was NOT doing that) too bad your story won't get the traction on the net like the myth. Reminds me of the myth of the turbines (flying motorcycles) seen in Galactica: 1980 were built for Battlestar Galactica. NO, they...
