    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    I finished off season one and am looking forward to season two. I finally noticed in the last few episodes that the horse behind Preston, as he "shoots" the title of the show onto the screen in the opening credits, is startled by each shot. They must have been using loud blanks. There's a saloon...

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    I watched the first two episodes of the final disc of season one tonight. Edd Byrnes, Paul Fix, and Dawn Richard guest-starred in the first one on the disc, "The Golden Gun." I found Ms. Richard easy on the eyes. Looks like this episode was one of her last credits in a relatively short career...

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    I've made a little more progress on Colt .45 but haven't quite finished season one yet. I notice that the WB logo after the end credits has disappeared on the last few episodes I've seen.

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    I checked another copy of Mirage that I had, and it had about the same running time as the Blu. But this other copy had a teaser at the beginning featuring the Frank Puglia character and Colt, while the Blu did not.

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    I watched episode 13, "Mirage," and the run time was only 23:47 or so. The last couple of episodes before that had dropped to a little over 24:00, although one had the mid-episode bumper. Assuming these are uncut, I wonder if they originally had more commercial time than other half-hour shows of...

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    I watched episode 11 of season one, "The Gypsies," last night. It's the first to feature the new closing theme song. I'd kind of gotten used to the earlier theme, which is still heard in part at the beginning of episodes, but I think the new one with the lyrics will grow on me. I enjoy Warner's...

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    In episode 10 of Colt .45, "Rebellion," a character checks a hotel register looking for Christopher Colt's name. Colt's signature appears around the third from the bottom. Among the signatures above his is that of Clyde Howdy, a stuntman and actor who appeared on four Colt .45s and in several...

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    Did I hear the Wilhelm Scream from a couple of Native Americans in the second Colt .45 episode, "A Time to Die"?

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    I finished the first disc of Colt .45, not as quickly as did Jeff Flugel, and am enjoying the episodes very much. In signs that I've watched too much Warner product over the years, I noticed the studio's howling-wind sound effect in one episode and the body-thudding-on-the-ground sound effect in...

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    John Beradino, who later had a long run on General Hospital, appeared as a barroom tush hog early in episode 3 of Colt .45, "The $3,000 Bullet." He had everyone intimidated until he tried to shoot a boy who had just left the bar to fetch the sheriff. He ended up getting carried out of the bar...

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    I watched the first episode of Colt .45 and was amazed at the sharpness of the picture. You could see clearly such things as Preston's miniature Colt .45 tie pin that he wears in the knot of the tie, as well as the disclaimer in small print at the end of the closing credits, something that's...
