    You can get around the HTF 20 picture limit by finding a larger picture, clear it in the Paint Program and paste your screen shots in. You could combine some pictures and leave others alone by itself. You can even come in under the 20-image limit but actually use more pictures. Two pictures...

    Jeff, funny you bring up Twiggy. Twiggy's earlier husband was Michael Witney, the actor Charles Bronson replaced on "The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters"-1963-64. GetTV has been showing "The Travels of Jamie McPheeters" on weekends and I am about to start watching them in original broadcast...

    Susan, I wrote about that Playboy issue in the Sam Nelson O&H thread, post #569, page 29. The girl in that issue was Ricky's dancing partner from, "Ricky the Drummer". https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/ozzie-harriet-release-from-sam-nelson.361854/page-29

    Thanks, very much for that "Andy Burnett" tip, SuperClark! A few years back I bought some Disney stuff from the alternate source folks. I had trouble with a couple of the "Andy Burnett" episodes and some chapters of the "Corky and the White Shadow", serial. The YouTube "Andy Burnett" uploader...

    You know, Jeff, Mason Allan Dinehart "wore a cane and derby hat" in S4E22 of "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp". Wyatt/Hugh even greets him, echoing the "Bat Masterson" TV show's lyrics, "Bat........Bat Masterson". Re: Guy Williams. Even though "Bonanza" was in Season 5 when GW had his...

    The version of the "William Tell" theme for the prints shown in original American syndication. A section of the 'William Tell Overture', different from the section used on the UK "William Tell" and "The Lone Ranger", TV series.

    Although, he didn't perform stunts like Shatner's leaping onto various speeding cars, trucks, and trains, I always worried about Karl Malden, as Mike Stone, in "The Streets of San Francisco"! When the series started in 1972, and I found out Malden was 60 years old, and running up and down...

    When THE DAKOTAS was cancelled so were other Warner Brothers ABC series HAWAIIAN EYE, CHEYENNE, and THE GALLANT MEN. Only 77 SUNSET STRIP was renewed for the 1963-64 season, and it only lasted 17 episodes. I think there was a rift between ABC and Warner. Warner took TEMPLE HUSTON to NBC for...

    In that VIRGINIAN episode, Alan mentions, Bette Davis is sitting next to Bill Raisch, in the courtroom scene. Raisch was 'Fred Johnson' in THE FUGITIVE. He's wearing his replacement arm. OWEN MARSHALL , on YouTube, is a great find. Searching for the few episodes over there , the side-bar led...

    Project 120 was Universal's first made for TV movie unit, for NBC. The 120 was minutes, and referred to a two-hour movie time slot, really 90-100 minutes actual runtime. This unit is said to be the first to make original feature length movies for TV. I can only find references to three...

    Randall, I guess I phrased that awkwardly. I meant I just didn't remember that the feature version of "To Kill A Man" was on the DVD set. I bought the set in 2012 and watched it all then, but I have not watched the show or feature since. Since then I looked, and the trailer and feature are...

    I always thought the theme for FATHER KNOWS BEST sounded like "I'll Be Home For Christmas". I did not remember that LIEUTENANT feature being on the DVD set. I could not find in listed on IMDB or on Gary Lockwood's filmography, there. The "To Kill A Man" feature is not listed in the book, 'The...

    I have heard that story of Roy nixing the Wonder Woman costume before and flat out don't believe it. I also remember reading that the bottom of the WW costume was stiff and uncomfortable for Lynda, to use when riding a horse. Roy with Dale in an equally skimpy showgirl outfit:

    I remember taping SHARPE, sight unseen, when it was shown in the U.S. as part of MASTERPIECE THEATER in 1994. I liked it and even bought all the books that were in print at that time. Bernard Cornwell wrote "Sharpe's Eagles" first, I believe, and had to go back to write the earlier 'origin'...

    The time line of KUNG FU creator Ed Spielman in pitching the show to Warner's doesn't support the claim that Bruce Lee had the idea first. http://www.martialjournal.com/the-truth-about-the-creation-of-the-kung-fu-tv-series/ Bruce Lee's idea, THE WARRIOR actually was made recently into a series...

    The first season of ALIAS SMITH AND JONES looks good, but some of the later season episodes are poor looking. It was released at the time Timeless was not getting all the episodes direct from Universal. Don't know if there were better versions later. Anybody following the show on recent TV...

    Not really up on the specifics of Linda Thorson's hairdo problems, but I think there was a nasty reaction to some hair dye and she had to wear wigs. THE NEW AVENGERS was great fun! The old New Avengers:

    Hey, Jeff, you actually used my CHFB research in your fine, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, article. But you transposed Charles Bronson and Tim Holt. In the earlier incarnation, Tim Holt was Tim Kelly and Charles Bronson was Toubo Smith. What I am watching, lately, is THE AVENGERS on, ThisTV . They are...

    Mysto, I am sure you and Russ remember the Mr. Wizard inspired sketches, on PAT PAULSEN"S HALF A COMEDY HOUR. Paulsen played 'Mr. Science' and when the neighbor 'kids' came over, he was always trying to get rid of the guy for some reason.

    I don't believe Preston was transmitted anywhere in color, at all, when it ran on CBS, in Prime Time 1955-58. Or the color, LONE RANGER episodes, either, on ABC., 1956-57. Good to know the color versions of Preston were shown later in syndication. Season 3 of the official DVD release had to...

    Did somebody mention Mounties? Say Jeff, when/where did you see SERGEANT PRESTON, in color? I think you are too young to have seen the original broadcasts. They were broadcast in black and white, on CBS, anyway, originally. I not sure, but I guess PRESTON may have been shown in color when...

    Steve, you mentioned The Lone Ranger not taking a drink. On the radio shows there was a rule that The Lone Ranger and Sgt. Preston were never to be seen in saloons. You will notice that the bad guys always hang out in cafes. The TV shows followed the rule. With thousands of radio episodes I...

    Jeff, great shot of Sue Ane. It's a still from classic Warner TV's few, or maybe only, forays into family sitcoms, ROOM FOR ONE MORE-1962. That's Andrew Duggan on the floor and wife Peggy McCay looking on. Ahna Capri was in the show too. Sue Ane was a guest. The only thing I remember about...

    The Timeless PETER GUNN is a set that I have trouble hearing. I raise the sound to hear the dialog and when the music spikes and gunshots occur I am blown out of my chair! I figured out it's not so bad if I only watch episodes of Peter Gunn in the winter, when my ears are not competing with...

    That's a nice shot of Mr. Favor's battered hat. Some time in the late 80s or early 90s. I saw a story or ad in a magazine, published by the defunct Old West Book Shop, where the hat was pictured and listed for sale. I think they wanted $2,600.00 for it.

    It's Robert Urich month for me. Marathoned THE LAZARUS MAN, (which is 22 years old, now). I am in Season Two of: SPENSER FOR HIRE. I like how it always seem to be snowing. Although there seem to be in a lot of places where somebody should have shoveled. But, on the other hand, maybe they...
