In addition to the b/w shows mentioned previously, I would like to see Richard Diamond and Love That Bob. The Life of Riley with William Bendix would be great, but with Fox, I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm still hoping for more 50's TV.

Yes, indeed. And I enjoying seeing it every time it appears on a DVD series release - it takes me right back to the era of 50s/60s TV.

Thanks for the info Gary. I must have heard the Philip Morris theme on the I Love Lucy Bluray sets I went through a while back. I watched it with the original openings, closings and commercials - that would have been where I heard it before. The other night, there was a new closing with the...

I too have been enjoying Public Defender. I purchased S1 and S2 during a recent Classic Flix sale. I believe the S2 Episode, The Deep Ditch, has all the original Philip Morris commercials available as an option to view along with the episode. Interestingly, especially in S1, there are two...

When I picked up the Death Valley Days Season 2 set at my local Walmart, there were 4 copies left after I bought my copy. I looked for other Timeless sets and the only ones there were The Loner (3 copies) and Custer (4 copies). It's hard to know how well these are selling, but we have had a...

And that is what I had remembered hearing. Then other comments seemed to suggest other reasons, and I just wanted to have clarification. Thanks for providing that, Neil.

I accept that, but all of that was true when they released Season 1. My question still remains - what happened to Season 2? Lack of sales, disagreement between licensee/licensor, problematic masters or something else? My opinion that it was a decent show which deserved a better fate on dvd is...

I thought Season 1 was released and then Fox wanted more money for Season 2. I haven't heard that Season 2 had problematic masters.

Just some thoughts . . . I really don't get it that Burke's Law has not been completely released. I love the westerns being discussed here, and I will pick up any of them that get released. However, Burke's Law, wasn't that really a bigger show than some of these westerns? Meanwhile, is there...

I have picked up some Australian items from Amazon.uk. The shipping is not as expensive from the UK as it is from Australia. If you can catch something on a price drop when the exchange rate is favorable it's a good workaround. Of course, the real solution is to have our American TV shows...

It is an excellent point Joe is making about the amount of time that has transpired since the Walt Disney program - and that would have a significant impact on marketability, no doubt. Yet, Zorro from the 50s and Dr Syn from the 60s are sold out. And Disney has also released some bits and...

The thing is - some of the Walt era material isn't available at all. If they want to do limited edition releases - fine - I don't have any problem with that. But the anthology series for instance - Disney can't find a way to release that? In this day and age? This series ran for years, it's...

Those were some wonderful releases - the Disney Treasures sets. They should have kept that going. Song of the South could have been released through that series, the anthology series, more of the Mickey Mouse Club serials, their industrial shorts/animation. I don't understand why the current...

The Adventures of Champion set released by Film Chest (USA) has 23 episodes on it.The missing episodes according to the accompanying episode guide that comes with the set are episode numbers 15, 18 and 20.

I have never seen the Paramount VHS tapes of Roy Rogers films. I have wanted to pick up a collection of his films or shows over the years and am unable to find something decent. All of this got me to thinking about Encore Westerns and how they handled the Gene Autry films.

That is the concern I always have about these older shows - do original prints even exist. Encore Westerns seemed to go all out restoring Gene Autry's show and movies, and that is a great thing. I wish they would do the same thing with Roy Rogers' work. I remember Roy Rogers' show running on...

If I still had satellite, I would be wanting something new. How about some Roy Rogers movies/shows? Do the same with them that was done with the Gene Autry movies/show. Release them on DVD and everyone would be happy.

My point is that Timeless was never afraid of obscure and/or b/w releases.Timeless did venture into detective shows; Peter Gunn, Mr. Lucky, Lawless Years - we need a someone unafraid of obscure b/w TV shows - like Timeless used to be.

I'm very happy with what I have . . . but there is still so much more I would like to have. The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet - where are you Sam? The Life of Riley with William Bendix December Bride & Pete and Gladys I Married Joan - Jim Backus Love That Bob I know I'm leaving stuff...

Wow - sure wish we could get those new prints for Laramie released on dvd.

This will be an automatic purchase for me.

Back in the early 60s, I was able to watch on television, Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, Gene Autry, Tarzan; films that existed before television. Had I not seen these on TV as a kid, I would have not heard of them and enjoyed them at such a young age. Now with the...

Gary, I have always appreciated your insights and thoughts regarding TV on DVD. I knew I could always bank on what you had to say and it helped make HTF such great place for quality information. I hope you come back often to post and share your thoughts with all of us. Thanks again, God Bless...

My Dakotas set arrived today - on pressed discs.

Glad to help. I never know if my local Sam's Club will have the Gunsmokes anymore. They stocked Gunsmoke Season 10 Volume 1, but never Volume 2. Maybe Season 11 will eventually turn up there, but now I don't have to wait and wonder. Very nice to have all the B/W seasons of Gunsmoke. There was a...

I went by my local Sam's Club today to see if they had Gunsmoke Season 11 in stock; no, they did not. So, I went by my local Walmart Supercenter, and there it was, both Volume 1 and 2. Price was 19.96 each, so I picked up a copy of each volume. :)

I watched Captain Kangaroo and actually enjoyed much of it (as a kid). I loved Tom Teriffic, and later, Lariat Sam. I don't remember ever seeing these cartoons anywhere else. And I loved cartoons back then - actually, I still do. How about some company releasing these Terrytoons on DVD? When the...

The concern I have with a partial season release of an older show is that we will never get a complete season release. Company loses interest (Steve Canyon), elements cannot be found (My Living Doll), company disappears (I'm Dickens, He's Fenster). I understand if the show is incomplete because...

I noticed that Amazon has the complete The Untouchables series for $134.40 as a deal of the week. That is a pretty good deal for anyone that hasn't picked it up yet.

Timeless was somewhat at the mercy of the material they could get their hands on. In some cases, like Checkmate and Alias Smith and Jones Season 2-3, the quality of the releases was quite variable. I still picked them up because Universal wasn't making any moves to release these shows. However...
