Another possibility, although likely remote, is Jack Webb's G.E. True (1962-63). Also, isn't The Alaskans one of those with a ton of music performed (mainly by series regular Dorothy Provine) in it? I'd think that would put the kibosh on a disc release, unless WB has somehow been quietly and...

For me, currently --most are complete series, although some are samplers or purchases of select seasons: 95 B & W (incl. a couple with a single color episode, + The Andy Griffith Show: Seasons 1-5, the only years I own or want) 25 with both B & W and Color seasons 189 Color (incl. a couple...

And doing a little online research, most series produced as California National Productions (with a few exceptions and not counting anything that has since fallen into public domain) got folded into NBC Films; that library, which also includes later series like T.H.E. Cat and Captain Nice, was...

I'd be in the market for any of these: Panic! Suspicion Way Out Great Ghost Tales Dragnet (1950s version, official release) Klondike / Acapulco (the former morphed into the latter, with the same lead actors) Wichita Town World of Giants The Jack Benny Program (unreleased licensed episodes) Amos...

Dabbs Greer?

This is why you all really should lament the fact that I personally didn't win that half-billion-dollar lottery jackpot from a year-and-a-half ago. While I can't say with certainty that I'd try to start my own home video company, I'd seriously attempt to pursue potential avenues to personally...

Well, then, I'm pretty much obligated to pick Deadline up. :cool:

One of my remaining top grail shows, Panic! (1957-58), is also a McCadden Production, so I wonder if CBS might have that, too. However, the company's output seems to be spread out across multiple studios... The Jack Benny Show (or at least a good portion of it) is with Universal; Petticoat...

Nice overview, Flashgear! Yancy Derringer is one of the very few TV "blind buys" I've ever made, largely thanks to an excellent entry about it on The Stalking Moon blog: Yancy Derringer --And I'm glad I did. I just have the final episode left to watch, and it's a shame it didn't continue into...

Actually, I think the Suspicion episodes that are out there are the entirety of the filmed episodes, something like 20-21 episodes. Suspicion was on the air for a year (1957-58), but half of that season's worth of episodes were live productions (I don't think there are any surviving kinescopes)...

I used to love TV Land, but I knew the writing was on the wall (even before they added more recent-era series) when they really pushed the gimmick of regular weekend (later nightly) marathons of single series. Stuff like that put an end to a lot of the rarer series they used to regularly air, in...

The joke's on you... because he's using-- :biggrin:

That picture looks, to me, like it might well be a publicity photo used to promote the show back in the day, rather than a screen cap from an actual episode. That said, I'd be surprised if what Shout/Timeless gives us is any different, quality-wise, that what was aired 20 years ago on...

Here's a little ray of sunshine for the gloomy prognosticators out there: The Complete SCIENCE FICTION THEATRE, coming from Shout/Timeless, May 12, 2015! https://www.shoutfactory.com/tv/tv-sci-fi/science-fiction-theatre-the-complete-series

Of the unreleased black & white Warner Bros studio series remaining, what interests me most are The Dakotas (which we know is coming, at some point in the near future) and the anthology series, G.E. True (which I assume is still part of the WB catalog).

Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but wasn't the former head of Timeless, before Shout took them over, getting up in years and planning to retire anyway? Seems to me Gary or someone else in-the-know said something to that effect when all this was originally going down. If so, unless he had a...

Or what Network is doing with old (and often obscure) UK television shows (all genres) on R2 DVD.

Yes, as Robert has so perceptively stated, we're talking about B&W TV shows on DVD primarily for my sake (and mine alone!), so knock it off, you mugs! :laugh:

My remaining B&W Grails are: DRAGNET THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR SUSPICION WAY OUT AMOS & ANDY BUS STOP PANIC! WICHITA TOWN THE WESTERNER

Thanks, Gary. After reading your post, I took the opportunity to check to see if there was anything on the series on YouTube, and found a promo video for the DVD set that Timeless recently uploaded... it does look quite good. LEE MARVIN PRESENTS LAWBREAKER: DVD Trailer

THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR, perhaps? Shout Factory hasn't been known for anthology series releases... or maybe BEN CASEY?

Yes, it was; it may well have been the late 1980s rather than the early 1990s, I forget the specific time-frame, but I saw it run there for a little while. It certainly wasn't on any of my local tv stations, nor any of the few other cable networks I could get back then. There were several other...

Not that I know anything about the inner workings of Warner Archive, or what's in the works from them, but I think one aspect that may help DR. KILDARE in the long run is that MGM made a lengthy and popular series of DR. KILDARE movies in the 1930s & 1940s, which Warner owns, as well. I doubt...

What about the second ERNIE KOVACS collection they're putting out this Fall... or that JACK BENNY collection that's apparently coming from them in 2013?

I have no crystal ball, but with the announcements of YANCY DERRINGER, PETER GUNN and MR. LUCKY all coming soon from Timeless, I bet we'll see a release of a complete DECOY set from them before long; back when these were all under the Liberation Entertainment label, I remember their website (a...

Woo-hoooo!!!! :banana: Now just 2 1/2 seasons left to go to completion! :rock:

Several episodes of THE HUMAN JUNGLE are up on YouTube, if you want a taste of the show before you buy (unless the stream is locked out of your territory, of course).

Considering that the sample episodes of THE THIN MAN, that were included as DVD bonus features on a couple of movie DVDs from Warner, were in pretty nice shape, I wouldn't be surprised if the series was released through Warner Archives sooner or later, especially since it ties in with a...

She was just THAT good. :D
