Like most of those early color shows it would have looked much better had they not used super-saturated colors. I get it as that's what people expected after dropping not so small amounts of money on purchasing that color TV - they wanted to get their money's worth. BUT - it somewhat dates...

Gilligan was syndicated with all seasons - even the BW S1, which was syndicated in BW. The TV station I worked for in the 70s/80s would not air the BW episodes during sweeps weeks under the supposition that people would tune out due to them being in BW and it would cost ratings points. I told...

You *really* had to ask, didn't you! ;) No, not off hand (and why I didn't say in that post). I'm not real sure where I have that set stored so don't know if I can come up with an answer "easily." If they're where I think they are I'll know shortly after I get home from work (4ish) and will...

Yep - what Tony said. The original releases were on 3 discs/season with the original "complete series" set being on 9 discs. Going by memory it was 3 DS discs each for S1 and S2 with 2 DS and a SS for S3.

Two reasons. 1. I purchased the SS set making it preferred for viewing. 2. I have 416 *completed* TV series on DVD/BR and another 100 or so that have been abandoned (~30 where I have all currently available seasons/sets), I have all I want (~30 where I have 1-5 seasons, show depending), or are...

That's what I remembered but wasn't going to put it out there without double-checking. ;) Thanks, Tony!

Mine did. Guess they still do but I've not played them in several years.

I have both and prefer the SS release for the better cases and single sided discs, although I never had any issues with the DS discs other than them being flippies. It's exactly the same program. IIRC it's the same menus.

NBC had *two* BW series in prime time that season - I Dream of Jeannie and Convoy, a 13 episode WWII series. Jeannie because of the expense of filming the visual effects in color and Convoy due to the high use of stock footage of WWII in the series. I don't think NBC ever touted the 1965 fall...

^I'd chalk all those inconsistencies up to laziness and/or people unfamiliar with the series/people who probably don't care in the roles of the artists/programmers creating the menu systems. They're likely under instructions/constraints from "suits" who just want it out there and also are...

I did that just over a year ago - it was on sale at BB for $25 and I had a $10 off "We miss you" coupon which brought it down to ~$16 after tax! I need to crack open the set and play a few episodes for my grandkids. I'm pretty sure they've never seen a episode and think they'd love it. I'm...
