Reminds me of when the Remington Steele season sets were released on DVD. The first season only highlighted Pierce Brosnan on the cover in a very James Bond looking tuxedo. The fan backlash was such that the second season included Stephanie Zimbalist. The third season included Doris Roberts...

Cool Dan, I haven’t tried the third season discs yet. I am curious to see the Mystery Movie opening from the discs. BTW, I had COZI TV on today and they showed the first episode of the final season of McMillan. The first without Susan St. James. It was odd to see.

Interesting Glenn, I’ve never known how people can do the upscaling. I’ll read up on Topaz.

Hey Glenn! Yes, as I’ve been making MKv files, I never watch the discs either! With so many TV shows in my collection, this just makes it so much more convenient and easy to watch any TV show in my collection.

Thanks for the reply Thanks for the reply Jr. I thought perhaps there was an alternate audio track too. I’ll be checking.

I opened the season one box for McMillan and Wife and ripped the first two discs with MakeMKV. I didn’t have time to watch an episode yet. I did not realize that there is a pilot film too. I don’t think I’ve seen that before. I did sample the first production episode and it looks great. I...

Tim, Erich, I pulled out the Rockford Files second season DVD set and watched the pilot film. It actually looks quiet good for DVD. if I have time, I’ll compare it to the Blu ray version. As Erich said, the pilot on the DVD set appears to have the commercial breaks edited out. The film starts...

Tim, are you asking about the complete pilot for Magnum or Rockford? For Magnum, I sought out the Blu ray set from Fabulous Films which is an import. If you are asking for the pilot for Rockford, I sought out the Universal DVD second season release of The Rockford Files, based on feedback from...

I have The Rockford Files on blu ray too. I’ve seen a handful of episodes and it looks great. My main issue with it is the pilot episode uses the syndicated version. I picked up the DVD season that includes the complete pilot. While it doesn’t look as good on DVD, at least it’s complete. And...

Thanks guys! The Golden Gate Bridge on the box is nice, Frankie! It’s got a bit of a metallic finish in the printing. Ben, I’m glad it appears to be the way it should be too! Tim, I also have the Columbo blu ray set, I’ve been enjoying that. I figure McMillan and the other shows will not...

My copy of the 24 disc complete series set arrived today. The outer box has a few dings, but the each season set inside the box are still shrink wrapped. So now I can start to mix it up with Columbo. Perhaps McCloud is next. And then Quincy.

Thanks for finding and the sharing the YouTube video of the NBC Mystery Movie theme. I remember the tune! But I had not recalled how it worked. So it’s the overall titles for the movies, but when the actual McMillan and Wife or Columbo movie starts, it has its own titles like we see on the...

Hey Howie, from the seller photos on eBay, the box does look big!

Howie, it’s worth a lot! Thank you for the information. I feel better now knowing your set has individual disc cases that were also sealed inside the box. :)

FYI, I found the 24 disc set on eBay at a decent price. What I found odd is the outer box is unsealed and each season cases inside are shrink wrapped. The seller confirmed for me that the outer box was opened to check the internal contents and the individual season cases are still sealed and the...

I considered the 24 disc set, but it’s going for $73.42 at Amazon and there is a set on eBay for $55 including shipping cost added. I have no exposure to The Snoop Sisters though. So I was ok to pass on that. edit: I just read the Wikipedia entry on the series. I see it starred Helen Hayes as...

Thanks for the input guys! I think I will go for the 21 disc set. :).

Reviving this thread. I am in the market for the McMillan and Wife complete series set too. I see that Amazon still has the two options available, the 21 disc set and the lower cost 12 disc. Plus a 24 disc set that includes the Snoop Sisters. I think I can do without the Snoop Sisters so the 21...
