    Liked this when it was on in the 1980's.

    Stopped in a library book sale this week and saw a woman grab Rawhide season 1 and a 1950's Dragnet box. They do exist!

    ClassicFlix RARE TELEVISION Thread

    I watched a handful of episodes about 10 years ago, and a few in recent years. I wouldn't call it a great show but Baron, Hutchins, the premise and the decade are more up my alley than a lot of Marshall shows. I've never seen the Brian Keith Show. The other 70's/80's shows I enjoyed first run...

    Good show, probably my favorite Marshall show.

    Which long running 50s sitcom would you most like to see get a complete release?

    I don’t remember if I already voted, if not I’m going with Private Secretary.

    Petrocelli: The Complete Collection

    You’re like a broken record Jeff, always going on about how every series, from Mister Peepers to Morecambe and Wise, from Mass For Shut Ins to Mama’s Family would have been better with more Albert Salmi. He’s great but leave a little screen time for all those other starving actors out there.

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    My understanding is that Tom Selleck has now established a service where he will directly assist you in obtaining a reverse mortgage on your home, as well as drive you to the pawn shop where you can hock your most valuable family heirlooms, all for a modest percentage (this not being his first...

    I watched that episode of The Fugitive a few years ago, I'm surprised you didn't post any screencaps of Roy Thinnes in his vivid bandana print shirt for the immense female readership of this thread. Sometimes it does feel like we guys are getting drowned out here though, why only yesterday I...

    CAN I EVER SEE THESE TV SERIES???

    No official releases, but since Paris and Kingston Confidential both aired in the early era of home taping, you may have some luck periodically searching youtube or other sites. Sometimes episodes of obscure series will be uploaded from tapes recorded from the original broadcast.

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Jeff, somehow I managed to watch both Valley of the Dinosaurs and Land of the Lost, with Korg 70,000 B.C. thrown in for good measure. Different schedules maybe, or one first run and one in reruns? Looking forward to your upcoming series of luscious screencaps of a female Sleestak. ;)

    Run For Your Life - S2E5 "The Dark Beyond The Door". Paul helps his friend's wife (Delphi Lawrence) by looking into who her husband(Peter Graves) is sending a mysterious payment of $1000 a month to. With a few unforeseen developments, a sensitive performance by Michael Dunn, and Kent McCord...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Courtesy of YT, watching episodes of J.J. Starbuck - Dale Robertson series from the mid-1980’s, the first few episodes have kind of a Columbo format and then the feel begins to vary, one is a little A-Team, another a bit Highway to Heaven. So far I’m not sure I’d call it a great show but it is...

    Shows You’re Sick/Tired Of In Syndication.

    The block style programming is the worst, as others have said. Better to watch an episode and let it sit with you, or move on to something else. It’s strange how little MEtv bothers to change it’s schedule, turning it on now is essentially the same as 4 years ago, same shows, same time slots...

    I'm not entirely sure I agree with this assessment Jeff. I can't help but imagine a world in which we got a Richard Boone Show style scenario with each week showcasing a TV remake of a different Cary Grant film with Astin in the Grant part. Episode 1: North By Northwest, with John Astin, Jamie...

    Strike Force - “The John Killer”. This 1981 Robert Stack series is like Most Wanted with a lot more violence and a bit more of a claustrophic feel. Prisoner/Avengers/Man In A Suitcase veteran Don Chaffey directs this episode with a genuinely unsettling Ann Turkel as a Norman Bates on overdrive...

    Press Release MPI Press Release: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet Seasons 1 & 2 (DVD)

    With what we know about the "butterfly effect", it seems entirely possible that some minor, long forgotten act on my part long ago may have been the catalyst for the series release, so I will graciously accept your thanks, Jeff. You are very welcome and enjoy!

    Most Wanted S1E21 "The Dutchman". Rip Torn is great as the recently released from prison criminal mastermind. Even within the limited confines of the script, it's apparent that he has established complex emotional relationships with a number of characters in the story, and would have been a...

    Another great post Jeff and your description of the vehicles "gleefully soaring through the air" gave me a great early morning laugh. Recently came across this interview with Albert Salmi. It's labeled as being Kung Fu related but it actually seems to date from the Petrocelli era.

    Never heard of it, sounds interesting though. Always enjoy Robert F. Simon.
