Thunderbirds introduced me to that marvelous genre called Science Fiction after my after-school fix of Bozo The Clown was botched up when President Lyndon B. Johnson scheduled a news conference on an autumn day in 1965 :angry:. Checking the channels I stumbled across this show which was...
If it is announced they're releasing the animated series Hot Wheels and Skyhawks on DVD must let you know the best thing to do is HEAD FOR THE HILLS! The shock wave originating from my house will make the shock wave that originated from my house in 2002 (People across the street heard my shout...
This is half the fun of this hobby, every now and then you find out an obscure show that piques your interest is coming out on DVD. :banana:Better yet, a show you thought didn't have a snowball's chance in H-E (Double Hockey Sticks) is getting released in its full glory. :cheers:
The number of TV shows on home video I have purchased recently has decreased significantly, mostly because I have purchased most of the shows that interest me. There are about a dozen "Grail Shows" that I hope will become available. Meantime it's wait and see.
I have to make a confession. The MAJORITY of B&W Series (including one series that lasted a whopping 19 seasons, and I shelled out $700.00 :eek: to get it) in my collection were obtained via "other means". I don't condone doing this, but on the other hand (and I'm sure you've heard this saying...
Most DVDs I purchase from a "Brick and Mortar" store are those I find in the Bargain Bins. The vast majority of shows I purchase these days are from online retailers such as "The Big River" and from yard sales, flea markets and those naughty "Trading Sites".:D I do see my purchases declining in...
Yes, it seems like the releases of B&W shows has slowed to a trickle, but we'll still jump for joy whenever s release is announced (we haven't had a year where no B&W TV Shows have been released). Popular B&W series such as I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Leave it to Beaver and The...
I'm certain we'll be surprised with a handful of "Grail' shows will be released by one studio or another, This is what makes this hobby so much fun. :thumbs-up-smiley:
The founder of the 20 Mule Team Borax Company is one of my favorite "Snatching Victory from the Jaws Of Defeat" stories.
Bitten by "Gold Fever" he moved west to "strike it rich", but failed to do so. His money exhausted, he decided to return home. One day he stumbled across a outcrop with a...
I agree! Most of the B&W shows in my collection consist of shows I never seen before, but when I heard about them I'd see an episode or two from youtube, then if I liked what I saw I'd go out and purchase the set one way or another. I've given a friend some box shows for her children (Which were...
May God Bless You Gary. My collecting days are starting to wind down also. I've acquired so many TV Shows, Movies and Other Programming in the last 13 years (I purchased my first DVDs in 2002, not knowing at the time what would happen five years later that would transform my viewing to home...
Alaska and Hawaii are the only states I haven't visited. I was born in Michigan in 1959, and Ohio is the first state I visited (Along with Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia in the spring of 1964 (I may have been to some of these states before, but I can't remember...
Is it April Yet? April is "Little (Stinker) Month! In observance of this event I'll be ordering a BOATLOAD of DVDs, with purchases scheduled on April 2, 14 and 23, plus one on May 1 (There's always a straggler in the bunch). :laugh: Five of the shows I'm ordering are in "Beautiful Black &...
Nearly 1/4 of the TV Shows I own on DVD are either all B&W or originally started as B&W before becoming Color in the mid 1960s. I still keep my eyes peeled for a new set to come out, nearly everything made by ZIV is among my "Grail List". I have about a dozen incomplete TV series that I acquired...
Not one, but TWO box sets of State Trooper were delivered to me this afternoon! :banana: :drum: :rock: :dance: I confess I had an "Alternate Version" of this series, After receiving the official sets the 'boots went to my Bar, it's called "The Workbench". The Bartender's initials are B.F.H...
Half the fun of this hobby is anticipating what may be released next. every year since I began this hobby there's always been AT LEAST one TV Series (Including "Grail Series") the naysayers keep saying "This show will NEVER released of "Issues" such as Music, "PC" Problems, Multiple ownership...
OK, the B&W era of TV on DVD is over -- the point has been made here about 600 times. I get it.
Not as long as I'm alive! Nearly 1/3 of my collection is in Beautiful Black and White. Long Live Black and White!!!
