    Neal, very nice compilation of Phyllis Coates' video rarities! She was a lovely woman for sure, here's my long time favorite publicity photo of Phyllis Coates... Todd, to answer your question about Tate...it only ran 13 episodes, shot on video tape by singer Perry Como's production company as...

    Neal, as a comic book guy (like myself), you undoubtedly know that DC licensed TV/radio's Big Town in 1951 for a long-running comic book that lasted almost right through the 1950s, and thus eventually adopted even a little bit of the DC Science Fiction mania as the decade wore on...

    Silent Service is for me a tremendously entertaining, historically accurate docudrama series! The true war stories behind the American submarines of the Pacific War are astounding, nail-biting excitement. And full of tragic sacrifice too. As you've shown Neal, the cast is full of 1950s familiar...

    Love Car 54 Where Are You?, one of the most treasured memories of my childhood! I was thrilled when Schanachie released both seasons on high quality DVD in 2011 and 2012. Get 'em while you can! Glad that they're also available for streaming, but hey, you never know when they might just go 'poof'...

    I know this compilation has been posted before, but the situation calls for it...fan created video of The Rifleman in action across five years and 120 righteous killings by Lucas McCain (definitely not all of 'em)...I think Sam Peckinpah rings the bell for each of them, with multiple trifectas...

    Neal, I'd never seen that Jack Benny in Australia special before! Classic Jack...getting off his Quantas flight in his nightshirt, checking into a flea-bag skid row hotel to save a few bucks...and finishing the show with his classic 'getting to know you' dueling violins, here with a 15 year old...

    Neal, thanks for highlighting the many (and surprising!) shows that are on YT and DM. Sorry to hear about Dwayne Hickman, but 87 years is more than many are alloted. Likewise, sorry to hear about Betty White, Sidney Poitier, John Madden, Bob Saget, Peter Bogdanovich too. All but Bob Saget...

    You gotta know that I'd take caps of the luscious Anne Helm in the feature film version of The Lieutenant's To Kill A Man from the WAC DVDS...these too racy for TV scenes were added to the original episode and released overseas theatrically...enjoy now, thank me later ha, ha... The...

    Neal, I would have never guessed that Warner owned stuff like The Lieutenant and Sam Benedict would be up on YT and not be stripped off as in previous years by Warner's legal eagles...I think The Lieutenant, in two volumes, was the very first Warner Archive series that I purchased, with many...

    Alan, I agree. It's been many years since I've seen it, but All The Young Men has a spectacular and rugged look to it. The movie was filmed at Glacier National Park on the Montana-Alberta border. An attempt at simulating the look of the November-December 1950 Chosin Reservoir breakout from...

    Sorry to hear about his passing, but he did live to a grand old age of 94. When he filmed that segment for See America With Ed Sullivan: San Francisco, he was breaking big...on the cover of Time Magazine for a feature on 1960 election year political satire (while writing jokes for JFK's campaign...

    I hope this Run For Your Life episode stays up, Neal! Thanks for posting these! I have this episode in my alternative season two DVD-R set, derived from the same (severely, but thoughtfully edited) COZI-TV recordings, most coming in at 43:30, with some at 42:30...or my even older and inferior PQ...

    Thanks Neal! Glad to hear that premiere episode (complete from 16mm, and in quite fine shape!) of The Nurses is still available to view on Youtube, although as you say maybe carried on another 'channel' there. I wish we could see many more episodes of that series, and it's predecessor and...

    Yes, Neal and Alan, there are many very pretty nurses on both Dr. Kildare and Ben Casey...as someone who has loved a few nurses in my life, I recommend them highly...I always thought the old fashioned nurses' cap was very cute, and I regretted their passing into history... At Dr. Kildare's...

    Marv, you probably know this, but Harbor Command was released in a very nice complete series DVD box set by Timeless. All 39 episodes in the sharp film sources provided by MGM. I don't know if it's still easily available or not, but I highly recommend it. Fascinating look at S.F. and the harbor...

    Good ol' Dan Mathews of Highway Patrol (Broderick Crawford for you young-uns) sure picked up the slack when the Whirlybirds were grounded...he seemed to be jumping into a Helo for every second episode, or at least it felt that way!

    That's a great episode of a great series, John...that yard full of old Los Angeles streetcars stacked a hundred feet up for what seems to be a half-mile was also seen to great effect in the 1958 feature film of The Littlest Hobo... In better days...

    Marv, I'm absolutely sure you know all about this already, but considering Alan Shepard's well known love of doing his impressions of Bill Dana's 'Jose Jimenez' Mexican Astronaut character (as depicted in the movie The Right Stuff), isn't it marvelously ironic that Shepard was launched into...
