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

    George Feltenstein said in a January podcast that "a very popular WB western series was being remastered" and it was one that had already been released on DVD. And it may take a year to be released on Blu-Ray. I think "very popular" can mean only CHEYENNE or MAVERICK. Personally, I would...

    Don't forget, COLT .45 was a 'half-hour' show. 67 COLT.45 episodes are equal to 33.5 'hour' long episodes of 77 SUNSET STRIP. So that's $80. for 33.5 hour shows So a 206 episode 77 SUNSET STRIP set would be around $492.99. At this point I'd be happy just seeing 77 and the other classic WB...

    I don't remember "Peck's Bad Girl" at all. The clip looks like it may have been shot on tape. It was produced by David Susskind's Talent Associates. Looking over the CBS schedule it looks like it was a summer replacement series for, "The Danny Thomas Show", in 1959, and rerun in the summer of...

    The original trio for, the 90 min. slot, NBC SUNDAY MYSTERY MOVIE wheel was Columbo, McCloud, and McMillan and Wife. All three had 120 min. slot, pilot movies under the World Premiere banner. I did not check the other wheels. Columbo had two World Premiere pilots. After the McCloud pilot...

    Project 120 was the first made for TV movie unit and made "The Killers" with Lee Marvin, which was released theatrically because of violence. The 120 referred to the two hour time slot. Later Universal TV movies were referred to as World Premieres when NBC aired them. The first one of that...

    Richard, now that you mention it....you are right! " Yancy The Riverboat Man!" I always thought the theme to The Six Million Dollar Man sounded like the theme to Garrison's Gorillas. And the Laredo theme was a sped up version of the secondary Rawhide theme called, 'Beyond the Sun'. Both had...

    I like the instrumental theme used for Yancy Derringer better than the vocal one so I don't miss the vocal one. On the other hand, I would not have bought The Rebel without the Johnny Cash vocal. Speaking of music replacement, I was watching "Edge of Eternity", a crime drama set in the 1959...

    I not sure that the vocal version of the Yancy Derringer theme was actually used more than a few times when the show was originally broadcast in primetime. I remember watching Yancy in primetime and don't remember the vocal version at all. I heard it on one episode of a bootleg set decades...
