Is it one or the other, or both? No one has given a definitive answer. At some point, I'll record one and sit down and A/B it with one of my film chained episodes and see which it is. I know WB took all of the bumpers into and out of commercial off.

Thanks. We just got Plus put back on our cable system and there are episodes of both series that I want to upgrade my quality on.

As of next week, it looks like both shows are off ME-TV Plus

My friend's husband is big into HE but hasn't seen the other WB detective shows. I want to send him sample episodes of each of them. I've never been a huge fan so I don't know the best episodes. I do remember for years that all of the 77SS fans were hot to get the Reserved for Mr. Bailey...

Between goodlife episodes and ones I transferred from 16mm, I would say that 95% of the ones I have are great quality. The problem is that the people like myself who are serious collectors don't go around bootlegging copyrighted material. The folks who do that are the ones who got 3rd, 4th...

I have a good number of 16mm episodes as well. For instance I looked at the episode I Wed Three Wives and the two leads from 77 Sunset Strip are guests. On the ME-TV copy, they are on screen for about 10 seconds at the beginning of the show and I can't believe it aired that way.

Are the 46 minute HE episodes on ME-TV cut or timesped? The opening theme sounds a little fast to my ears. I know that when Warner remastered their shows they took out all of the bumpers going in and out of commercial but is content cut?

And in what world is that going to happen? Unless you are talking the defunct Warner Streaming, which showed a smattering of episodes, you aren't getting the show uncut anywhere, that is unless you recorded them from Channel 22 in Seattle in the late 80s, where they came in at over 51 minutes...

You prefer they cut dialogue and content pertinent to the story?

Yes, the teaser is a scene from the show, so really if something needs to be cut, its not essential. Also, when Warner remastered the shows for Good Life, they cut out all of the bumpers in and out of commercial. Not sure how much time that saved.

The ones running on ME plus I imagine will be the same. Shows on Decades, etc., seem to come in a few seconds shy of 46 minutes. Does anyone know if they are cutting or time speeding? Hopefully speeding and not taking out content. The ones on Good Life were cut.

No, but windowboxing and broadcasting in 16x9 makes a big difference.

My TCM is in proper 4x3 on my CRT sets.

FIOS just pulled ME-TV+ off its system for some horrible channel showing History channel reruns. I had just gone through all of my Hawaiian Eyes, which are a mixture of 16mm film transfers, uncut episodes for channel 22 in Seattle in the late 80s,, and off Good Life TV, with widely varied...

She had some smoking hot body.

Which is a shame. A company in England, affiliated with Talking Pictures TV, is putting out Stagecoach West, so perhaps The Detectives and other Four Star shows may follow.

Or you can transfer them to DVD, like the rest of us have been doing for the last almost 20 years.

I recorded my copy off air decades ago. I'll pull it out tomorrow and check the run time.

Apologies if this has been answered already, but are the 46 minute ME-TV airings timesped or cut?

A late friend of mine was good friends with Jacobs and he told me some stories about Trundy after Jacobs died. She was eccentric, putting it in a polite fashion.

I'm not sure if it ever aired on Good Life as I know they didn't get through the full series. I recorded it off Warner Streaming when they had it as a test service and before they put a copyguard up.

I remember very well that decades ago, that show was considered the top want by all fans of the series. Not really being a 77SS strip fan myself as it was before my time, I always wondered what the fuss was about but I know that was the one episode which was never around in any form.

What's so good about that news? When I get a chance, I'll try to sit down and pull out my DVDs of the three missing episodes and see what the issues might possibly be.

Or else they couldn't clear the music for it.

Actually the 5th season is rarer than the 6th. Season 5 has never been syndicated anywhere in the world and until 19 episodes appeared on Warner Streaming, only a handful of network prints from film had ever been around. Season 6, however, did have international syndication and 16mm films have...

Pretty much every Warner actor went through contract disputes with the company as they just did not get treated very well nor paid very well. Connie Stevens, James Garner, Wayde Preston, etc. It's a long list. That's why Garner left Maverick after season 3. Roger Moore replaced him but left as...

Don't know. I only had the Warner streaming when it was a test service (and before they put up a copyguard on their shows :D). Once it became a pay service and you could no longer burn DVDs, I lost interest.

Only partial seasons, not full.

I'd be curious to see if they are going to air the traditional U.S. syndication package of 149, which omits seasons five and six, or if they will air the entire run. Their streaming site had up 19 fifth season episodes and those were never syndicated anywhere in the world.

Good luck with that happening.
