    The Brady Bunch 50th Anniversary. Might we finally see a Brady Blu-ray

    I never knew that about these three-parters... I wish to know if the 90-minute edits exist in their entirety, because I never saw these long-form edits on (W)TBS or elsewhere then. Speaking of which... were there long-form edits of the following Mission: Impossible multi-part episodes? * "Old...

    Favorite production company logo?

    And here's the rare 1974 Paramount Communications logo -- which was similar to their TV logo of the period but actually features a refined version of Paramount's mountain logo that resembles their updated theatrical logo -- that was seen on the 30-minute PSA Let's Call It Quits, co-produced with...

    Yes, it was to be a sitcom; the premise was about a father (Dorian Harewood) and his daughter (Marie-Alise Recasner) together running a bowling alley. It finished at 5.4/10 in the ratings. ~Ben

    Hi Mr. Masters, Have you seen this recent tall-peak Blue Mountain sighting? This one is from Kingpins (1987), which was an unsold TV series that first ran as part of the CBS Summer Playhouse cycle. ~Ben (ClassicTVMan1981X)

    CBS Series DVD's and possible Blu Revisits

    My guess is that they'd have to get the rights to some of the music heard within each episode, and it's another videotaped series, too, which makes it kinda hard to accurately do for Blu-Ray. ~Ben

    Press Release Warner Archive Press Release: Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 - The Complete Film Collection

    Just so you know, yesterday I bought two of the individual releases (Yogi's Great Escape and The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones) and they were shipped out promptly. ~Ben

    Press Release Warner Archive Press Release: Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 - The Complete Film Collection

    Has anyone else been told the box set has been delayed further? No shipping update from Amazon.com just yet, but I may wait a week or two before canceling it. ~Ben

    shows that have been destroyed

    Here's another example of a show that has been destroyed/taped over: Wheel of Fortune, pre-Pat Sajak. According to Randy West, Chuck Woolery didn't exactly get along with Merv Griffin about wanting a salary raise. After Woolery quit or was fired, Griffin erased most of the 1975-81 episodes of...

    Hogan's Heroes Question

    Thank you! They also messed up on guest star Willard Sage's character; in the credits, his character's surname was "Schmidt" but when spoken everyone called him "Doenitz" (as in rear admiral Karl Doenitz), hence the Anglicized spelling "Dernitts." ~Ben

    Pre-Order Hogan's Heroes: The Complete Series (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    My question is this: for those of you who have this upgraded set, hasn't the black-and-white pilot episode "The Informer" been restored to its original 33-minute length? That was how long it was back when it had been out on VHS through Columbia House as part of its "Collector's Edition" series...

    CBS Series DVD's and possible Blu Revisits

    Which depends on if they still have the original 35mm studio masters, as opposed to the 16mm or the 1" videotaped dubs used in syndication and cable reruns. ~Ben

    Questions about two CDs: The Alan Parson Project and Steely Dan

    The first Alan Parsons Project release, 1976's Tales of Mystery and Imagination, featured the complete then-current lineups of both Ambrosia and Pilot. Ambrosia, which released their first album shortly before its lineup had contributed to Tales (Parsons would then return the favor by producing...

    CBS Series DVD's and possible Blu Revisits

    As to what Paramount Global (the new name of CBS and ViacomCBS since 2021) owns, I'd ask for: Barefoot in the Park (1970) Funny Face/The Sandy Duncan Show (1971-72) Me and the Chimp (1972) Love Story (series) (1973-74) Paper Moon (series) (1974) Kate McShane (1975) Serpico (series) (1976-77)...

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    Mark, Is that the way it went when the special was rerun on The Disney Channel and later Cartoon Network/Boomerang? I know the original 1972 broadcast print unusually had the 1968 jingle playing over the H-B Box logo, but the episodic version does not (since it has the Yogi's Gang title theme...

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    I hope that the bonus print of Yogi's Ark Lark within Yogi and the Invasion of the Space Bears will be the original 1972 ABC broadcast print rather than the split two-part episodic version that has surfaced on the older Yogi's Gang DVD release. ~Ben

    Next Hanna-Barbera set?

    I am still hoping WAC will release the following to Blu-Ray: Series previously released on DVD which should be re-remastered for Blu-Ray: Hong Kong Phooey (1974) Devlin (1974) Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch (1974) Clue Club (1976) The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour/Show (1976) The Super Globetrotters...

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Press Release: Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume 2 (Blu-ray)

    With Ghost Wanted now released on Blu-Ray, I am wondering now if they will re-re-do A Wild Hare (also 1940) since we now have a cartoon restored with the correct opening shield? They did try to restore the original opening title for that one years before, but it used the opening from A Gander at...

    The Bugs Bunny Show on DVD and Blu-ray

    I think the rarest of the Bugs Bunny Show interstitials would be for the short-lived 1971-73 CBS half-hour run that was cut down from the first season of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour. ~Ben

    The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and Underdog original cartoons

    For the 1961-64 NBC run, is it true that for Fractured Fairy Tales there was a different outro than the "chalk and burning fuse" (as used on Aesop & Son), while the fairy Bullwinkle waving his magic wand on the placard to read "THE END"? ~Ben

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Press Release: Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume 2 (Blu-ray)

    Let's get back on track here. I still want the Looney Tunes DVDs and Blu-Rays to keep on coming, which is why I locked in my pre-order. This volume has some 1930s stuff on it!

    The following were extras on other DVDs: "I Wanna Be a Sailor" (1937) was an extra on Kid Galahad, but was restored on both Max and MeTV. "The Penguin Parade" (1938) was an extra on Too Much Johnson "Cross-Country Detours" (1940) was an extra on Virginia City but unrestored, but was restored on...

    Pre-Order The Odd Couple: The Complete Series (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Yes, both seasons. Season 2 (1975-76) has the "Blue Mountain" intact, which makes Petrocelli the only series besides Happy Days (1974-84) to have survived this transition. ~Ben

    Pre-Order The Odd Couple: The Complete Series (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I wonder if, on this, the episodes will have the original correct Paramount Television logos at the end? Most of the time, you'll see this variation. Strangely, on some of the Columbia House VHS tapes, it was even on season 3 (1972-73) of the series, which on other shows used this newer...
