Of all of the genres which we have enough of, westerns lead the pack. So many good MGM, Lorimar and WB series still buried in the WB vaults, the last thing we needed was yet another western.
That was one of my favorite shows when I was little. I was so glad to be able to pick up almost the whole run on 16mm when the studios emptied their warehouses in the early 90s.
With all of the great television series in the WB vault, which haven't seen a home video release OF ANY KIND, what a waste it would be for them to instead re-issue mediocre movies hardly anyone remembers which are already available.
That won't happen. Won't go lower than where I am now.
Anyway, solved the Colt .45 problem. Even though I have a good portion of the series from 16mm film chain masters, I still want the DVDs. My friend can down convert them to regular DVD for me. I just hope they aren't in a screwed up aspect...
I need the flat top that my CRT set provides as I would have no place else to put my Emmy Awards, lava lamps and Dawk, which currently reside on top of the set. Financials are not an issue.
When my faithful 35 inch JVC finally died, I replaced it with a 32 inch someone gave me a few years prior...
Are they cut or timesped? The theme does seem a little bit fast to my ears. At some point I should A/B an episode with the version I have from 16mm and see what cuts are made, if any. Obviously all of the bumpers in and out of commercial were chopped out when they remastered all of their series.
Watching a show with black bars on both sides of the screen isn't enjoyable for me. If it doesn't bother you, then more power to you. I can't watch that way nor can I watch a show that's window boxed.
I think what I had to do in order to watch Ozzie and Harriet normally was to hit the zoom button on my DVD player.
As for getting modern equipment, I don't see the point since 99% of what I watch is meant for 4x3 standard TV, not 16x9 high def on a 100 inch screen. Not to mention the fact that...
Well, I don't have a blu ray player or an HDTV so I guess I'm SOL with this series. Hopefully it eventually shows up somewhere that I can record it since its not coming to DVD. Oh well.
