The CBS Syndication Bible online is seriously out of date, regardless of the status of the syndication package. Mannix has been playing for years on Me-TV and all 194 episodes have been run several times and just recently FE-TV picked up the showing and started with Season 1 as well. But both...
Mission: Impossible and Mannix both originated at Desilu Productions in the late 1960s. MI ended in 1973, Mannix in 1975. Watch the 1973-74 Mannix episode "Race Against Time" Parts 1 and 2 and tell me that it doesn't sound like a MI plot. To a lesser extent "Bird of Prey" Parts 1 and 2 the...
Me-TV has been airing the entire series for 2-3 years now, late at night. All 194 episodes. So the Syndication Bible is obviously wrong and needs to be updated.
Years ago, I was told that 130 episodes is the ideal number for syndication. A station could run 5 episodes a week (M-F) for 26...
That would end being the biggest DVD set in history. 635 episodes. If they simply used the same discs for every previous release, and guessing 5 episodes per disc average, that would be something like 125 discs!
Got my DVD set today and watched the first episode followed by the Larry Cohen interview. What a negative attitude he had about the show in general. The interview really adds no value to the DVD set and they could just as well have left it out.
Got my copy via Amazon this week and have already binge-watched the first half dozen episodes. The picture and sound quality is excellent for a 50 year-old show that probably was not remastered. The interview with Pat Cardi (last surviving cast member?) is most interesting. Sure, the show is...
I have the whole series on DVD and can see why it was cancelled after the lost season. The writing and acting were weaker and the story arcs covering 4-6 episodes were too drawn out.
The Loner is an excellent series. I bought a bootleg set a few years ago which did not include all the episodes and the quality of the picture/audio was very uneven. I have now been through the entire authorized release and its top-notch for a series that got little respect when it was on TV...
Wow! I'm so impressed and shocked. Never thought this one would see the light of day. Bought a partial series run on bootleg a few years and looking forward to seeing the whole series (with hopefully better masters than the bootlegs).
I've been waiting for the price to drop below $100 and it did so this past weekend, so I pulled the trigger. It came today and I binge-watched the first six episodes of Season 2 (since I already had Season 1). Yes, some (but not all) of the episodes were edited and the picture quality isn't up...
I would love to see this series come out on legitimate DVD. I bought a black market set containing 19 of the 26 total episodes a few years ago, that being the number of surviving episodes supposedly floating around. Remastering would be great, but decent original elements would suffice. The...
Only seen one episode so far (the first one), but it does have a Mission Impossible feel. But I never heard of two of the three leads and their performances were somewhat weak. Perhaps that contributed to a mid-season cancellation.
I, too, remember Mannix on ABC late night starting in the fall of 1975. I think it was on Tuesday nights starting at 11:30 pm (long before Nightline came along). The show ran until 12:40 am because they padded it heavily with commercials. Who knows if the shows were edited from their original...
129.99 divided by 8 = $16.25 per season. A steal, especially considering that Season 8 is $44.99. They had a similar deal on Perry Mason a couple of weeks ago and I scooped up 5 seasons, whichever will take me forever to watch.
Now that we have the full series on DVD, not much to talk about. So how about trying to pick the 10 best episodes of the series. I'll go first, My 10 favs are: SEASON EPISODE 2 The Silent Cry 2 To The Swiftest, Death 2 A View Of Nowhere 2 End Game 4 The Mouse That Died 4 Sunburst 7 Climb A...
"What Happened To Sunday" is one of the best episodes from Season 4. Love the intro where Mannix is being chased on foot by cars. Season 4 was the best season, in my book, in terms of the overall number of really good episodes. Season 7 and 8 vie for 2nd place. So glad to have all the...
Well, many of us have now had our Mannix-The Final Season DVDs for at least a week. Episodes that have not been seen commercially for 37 years.
I've already watched 18 of the 24 episodes since I got mine and they have confirmed for me it is one of the better Mannix seasons. Like much of...
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2012. THE DAY THE WAITING STOPPED.
After 37 years, something that I thought would never happen finally happened: the eighth and final season of Mannix became available to the show's legion of fans.
As most everyone on this thread knows, this season was never syndicated...
Curious question about Season 3 since The FBI was a Quinn Martin show as was The Fugitive.
Anyone familiar with The Fugitive DVD releases is probably aware of the music substitutions that started with Season 2 and got mostly resolved by Season 4.
I have both volumes of the recent Season 3 DVD...
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus! Mannix Season 8 in time for Christmas!

Release date is December 4. That'll give us at least two weeks to get in viewing all 24 previously "missing" episodes before we find out if the Mayans are right.
I wonder what other episodes (s7, s8) that were omitted from the syndication package were not re-run during their original season runs?
Until I saw "A World Without Sundays" on DVD, I don't recall EVER seeing it before.
