    A season one screen grab from the Shout set.

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

    Did CBS Video ever fix this? My copy of Season 2 mistakenly has the season 4, "How To Kill A Friend". "How To Cure A Friend" was added as a bonus on the season 4 volume 1 set I own.

    Laugh-In is another landmark television show that fans of classic TV are supposed to love. I don't. I bought a Best Of years ago and just didn't find it clever or funny. Odd, because I love Hee Haw, which I call a redneck version of Laugh-In. Are certain seasons considered classic? I think most...

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

    I guess that's why we all end up on HTF everyday. I figured out that if I never bought another book, movie, TV show or piece of music again, I could listen, read or watch something new everyday until I died. I enjoy reading the reviews of shows I never watched before. I have made the majority...

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

    I believe Jack Webb wanted to bring Dragnet back to be the voice of "the silent majority" who were feeling threatened by the younger generation. I find it fascinating to see how much effort was put into making every kid and young adult look like a leech on decent society. As for the dry speech...

    McHale's Navy is a show I never watched in re-runs growing up. I bought it on DVD based on it's reputation. I found it hard to finish as well. The cast is the reason to watch. The stories are forgettable. I did watch a few from the 4th season, and liked them. Perhaps the change in location did...

    Glad you liked it. I have a personal fondness for Rickles as Crapgame in Kelly's Heroes.

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

    Nice sentiment. I have the same feelings about many 90's TV shows. The early 90's was a mini renaissance of fantasy and sci fi shows that were entertaining and enjoyable for the whole family. Judging from your taste in classic television shows, I don't think we would fight over what to watch too...

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

    The final episode "On The Run" is the strongest of Season 3. Maybe one of the best of the two shows combined. It's a very intense story which owes a large debt to The Prisoner. There is a cop out at the very end, most likely for fear of losing interest in re-runs like The Fugitive suffered. But...

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

    First season SMDM is classic. The show became a victim of it's own success with the addition of The Bionic Woman and Bigfoot. Kenneth Johnson brought in a light approach to the show with too much humor and bland, "What if Steve was a cop, played football or...". That mostly happens in Season 3...

    Episodes run just shy of 48 Minutes and appear complete. Some screen grabs from the Hunter Complete Series. Season 3. Hot Pursuit Season 6. On Air (With Erin Gray) And if you find the Anchor Bay Season 1 there are interviews with Stephen J Cannell and Stefanie Kramer. The Return Of...

    James Whitmore Jr. was also a regular on early episodes of Hunter before he started to concentrate more on directing.

    Yes. And once with Selleck.

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

    I am a huge Magnum fan. And a fan of James Whitmore Jr. . Selleck and Whitmore had starred together in a failed pilot for Universal in 1978 called The Gypsy Warriors. Written by Stephen J, Cannell and Phillip DeGuere Jr. , the creative team behind Black Sheep Squadron. It was released on VHS and...

    I enjoy the movies too. I think I watch them more than the episodes themselves now. I like trying to spot what was added or changed from show to film. Did you like GFU?

    Was this your first time watching the show? Any impressions you'd like to share?

    Thanks for the concern. I'm starting something Thursday. I can't get work in my field. It's hard to change directions near the mid century mark in your life. I'll make it work. Gotta keep smiling!

    Thanks. I like Henry Darrow. But Anthony Zerbe is so much more interesting to watch on screen. It looks a little colder in L.A. Looking forward to getting there now!:thumbs-up-smiley:

    I'm on my second attempt to watch Harry-O. I really liked the two pre-series movies a lot. The episodes that I've watched aren't terrible, they just don't hold my attention. Harry just seems to piss people off the entire time. I've only watched the first part of season one and quit. Does it get...

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

    I liked the 90's Rockford Files. They had the same feel as the 70's show to me. Many of the original writing and production staff returned and it felt like they still had the goods. Most importantly with Stephen J. Cannell, Juanita Bartlett and David Chase on board. And hearing the music of Mike...

    I watched the first 5 years of the Simpsons this week. Over 100 episodes.

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

    I'll keep it short since Star Trek has it's own thread. This is one of my top five favorite Star Trek TNG episodes. The best type of Trek story to me is when they are challenged about what it means to be human. The eternal question. Classic.

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

    Good information. I am not familiar with the show, having only watched my first episode 4 years ago. This was a blind buy for me and I thought the FOX set a good value. I'm impressed with the quality of the picture and audio. I can see where a more detailed set would better fit the serious...

    Sherry Jackson is a beautiful woman. Even more so in B&W in my opinion. I was able to get an autographed picture from her personal website not too long ago.
