I can't see it happening but my wishlist for 2020 is The Name of The Game (Gene Barry / Tony Franciosa / Robert Stack) The Defenders - seasons 2 to 4 (E.G. Marshall / Robert Reed) The Felony Squad (Howard Duff / Ben Alexander / Dennis Cole) Hunter (James Franciscus) Matt Helm (Tony Franciosa)...

Always for me - JAMES ARNESS as Matt Dillon No Jim, no Matt, No Gunsmoke !

in the episode 'Deadline' Mike Stone tells Steve about how years ago when he was the young rookie Detective his senior partner back then was 'old Mcintire' I always wondered if that was a show salute to John Mcintire as Lt Dan Muldoon who with his young partner Det Jimmy Halloran - James...

yes indeed ! - Dan is learning the hard way NEVER to get caught off guard just as Steve Keller did before him (remember when Steve fell for the hit lady next door really well played by Brenda Vaccaro ?) also where Dan takes Susan for a weekend break camping and fishing we are getting to know...

I first saw 'Let's Pretend We're Strangers' in the USA when on holiday in Florida I thought it was a great epsode - Guest Star Linda Kelsey was terrific as public defender Susan Harper and the oh so 'innocent' good looking guy Billy (a cruel killer of a young woman in truth in the episode) who...

I have the three known to survive first season episodes season one IS important the show title is because in the pilot episode 'Hot Snow' - of which only act one survives - Dr. David Keel (Ian Hendry) has his fiance gunned down - by mistake as he is the target of a drug gang hitman re a drug...

fingers crossed for a DVD release eventually ! at least the new film will remind some of and introduce others to Lancer ! here in the UK it was screened by BBC in alternation with seasons of The High Chaparral at 8pm on Mondays , I never missed an episode of either show I always assumed it...

yeah I'm not surprised that other factors probably killed Streets...by it's fifth season it wasn't a 'new' show anymore and while it was still a great show and with Dan Robbins arrival was perfectly set up for a sixth season - and the Stone / Robbins pairing deserved a second season - the style...

well don't watch Bonanza; The Next Generation or Bonanza; The Return - as excepting Adam who we never see ALL the Cartwrights are dead !!! none of em were immortal were they ? however much we may want to think they were... there were decent episodes in season 14, just as earlier there were...

re Bonanza - the sad fact was for many dear old Dan Blocker as 'Hoss' was irreplacable and the show wasn't the same minus him , plus they moved it to another night set against popular competition which killed it in the ratings and it was axed two thirds of the way through season 14 with eight...

while most of Irwin Allen's TV shows had no proper resolution The Time Tunnel concluding story 'Town of Terror' does end with Tony and Doug appearing to return to the Titanic as in the pilot episode creating the impression of a recurring cycle... likewise with 'Land of The Giants' if you swap...

Interesting reading through this lengthy thread - both here and on other forums I have visited how so many were NOT happy how Dr.Smith came to be the central figure in LIS I have seen youtubes and read in books how Smith and Jonathan Harris were the MOST popular on the show...yet many seem to...

I have the three seasons on DVD which is enough for me I tend to watch almost all the more adventuresome first b/w season then very much 'cherry pick' the color season two and three episodes for a combined 'color second era' of LIS - with the more cast based episodes like 'Blast off into...

Try saying Alexa bring me a complete set of The Defenders ! if it works let me know...

while it's possibly an age thing I just do not find modern TV very watchable to be honest IF the plot is better than average I find I know it from somewhere before... most of today's actors for me have zilch charisma or any truly memorable aspects, TV characters now seem to me to require...

Some background info on Callan for any younger or American viewers new to it The show began as an episode of the acclaimed ITV series' Armchair Theater' in the UK titled; 'Callan - A Magnum For Schneider' David Callan is a ex-British Army soldier who served in Malaya - a complete professional...

in some ways both of Ed Woodward's characters David Callan and Robert McCall are similar - each are top at their spy jobs and each hate what it forces them to be the very beginning of Callan in the sixties sees him attempting to resign just as McCall later does and both are haunted by their...

would - if true - Universal digitizing it's whole library give shows like The Name of The Game any chance of ever seeing light of day again even if only on TV reruns like COZI TV did a while ago ? I have thought TNOTG was never likely to ever appear for several reasons - episodes recorded on...

An excellent show - here in the UK Forces TV channel have just begun a rerun of season one - while Talking pictures channel are rerunning Ed Woodward's earlier sixties / seventies spy series 'Callan' too ! Robert Lansing was good making semi regular cameos as 'Control' and the backup regulars...

I am always reading how fans disliked Richard Hatch as Dan Robbins and that killed Streets of San Fran - but considering Karl Malden and Mike Douglas had a real almost uncle / nephew relationship that special chemistry could never be replaced, that said the new pairing of Karl and Richard was...

I suspect TV production people have their own angle on shows 'it was AWFUL until I SAVED it' - is the sort of producer's comment I would ignore ! for me The Virginian was great in EVERY season - including 'Men From Shiloh' which it seems fandom insists you dislike (sorry I like it too) the...

without spoiling the episode for anyone by naming it there was one story that had a fascinating angle to it in the tale a person dies - despite going back the seven days and altering the timeline for the better....that person nevertheless one again still dies at the end suggesting SOME things...

I had not seen Amos Burke Secret Agent since about 1967 and was surprised at just how sharply the entire style of the show changed from the at times rather whimsical Burke's Law to a VERY serious toned spy show more like the Sam Rolfe first season Man From UNCLE in black & white - Gene Barry...

well why not champion those then instead of just pouring derision on my post ? in your opening post YOU made the distinction of a show running 3 seasons or more - so would any of those 'great' shows that never had 3 seasons even be applicable to this thread you opened ? what a show 'Deserves'...

I know there are a zillion reasons why it can't be released on DVD - wrong formats, clearance issues, was it that popular etc ? - but The Name of The Game alternately starring Gene Barry / Tony Franciosa / Robert Stack ran for three seasons over 1968-71, following a 1966 TV Movie, was in...

CBS Drama have just begun rerunning TLB here in the UK - just watching first of two episodes now, with a sharp decent picture too ! once upon a time I'd have passed up shows like TLB for police shows, spy shows and TV westerns etc but by today's TV standards it's great relaxing escapist...

Strange there is no USA DVD release of this American Four Star show starring Robert Taylor with Mark Goddard, Adam West and Tige Andrews The show is out on DVD in Germany but only with dubbed German sound and no original English soundtrack ! I've been watching the unrestored episodes on...

just got my PP part three set from the USA and really looking forward to part four in June sad re Tim O'Connor, he was always a class act in so many great shows besides PP !!

Steven also of course was a co-creator of 'The New Doctors' segment of 'The Bold Ones' too starring E.G. Marshall, John Saxon and David Hartman here is one episode of that;

R.I.P. another TV icon leaves us Ahead of the Game is an apt description of Mr. Bochco, who well knew 'The Name of The Game' too ! pre 'Columbo', pre 'Silent Running' the young Steven got one of his first major TV jobs in 1970 as story editor and writer on the Robert Stack third season...
