I really need to watch the series. Our local radio station used the Merle Haggard song as a snippet for a commercial long before I knew there was a TV series. I remember Claude from B.J. and The Bear and The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo, so seeing him in a role where he isn't a comedian or...

And one of the most memorable lines in the series from Granny: "that boy don't know what sex he's opposite of!"

I remember an interview or a quote from Norman Fell in which he talked about the clause in his contract to be able to come back to the parent show. He said that he thought the only reason it got the extra half season was so that they wouldn't have to bring them back. Again, I don't deny it...

I took a break from The Beverly Hillbillies and watched The Ropers and Three's A Crowd on PlutoTV. I vaguely remember The Ropers from when I watched it as a kid. Solid comedy that should have went longer. Having the neighbors to play off of was hilarious; Jeffrey P. Brookes III hurt his back...

When I was a kid I never would have imagined a thing called the "Internet" that would have a channel dedicated to nothing but my favorite show 24/7 and that it would be in crystal clear quality, better than what it looked on night of broadcast!

You hit the nail on the head. I bought the first season on DVD and didn't run into a glitch. FilmRise has put the entire series on YouTube, so I've never bothered to finish off my collection on DVD. I simply don't know what happened with that season. Did they think the switch to color would...

Since I've been here last, there's been some changes for me. I became a grandpappy in January, and I'm told my granddaughter is already fascinated with Hee Haw at 7 months old! I know I'm a little off topic, but I'm getting there. I hooked my computer to my 55" TV. A huge swath of my viewing...

I've gotten myself on a Starsky and Hutch kick since getting my Roku. It's available on a variety of networks on there, but the actual Roku network seems to be the best option for picture quality. Crackle and Plex seemed to be using outdated masters that had a LOT of blurring issues when people...

It seems I'm walking into something I've missed...lol!!! I absolutely cannot stand Friends or Seinfeld either one. I've yet to find anything remotely funny about either one, yet they are supposed to be "modern classics." To each his own. I can't stomach modern TV any longer. I get surveys that...

I'm back, guys and gals! My handy dandy computer, a Windows 7 machine, bit the dust. The power switch seems to be the culprit, and I'm currently debating whether or not I want to try and find a new switch. I got a heckuva deal on a refurbed Windows 10 machine on Amazon. I was smart and had all...

I'm pondering if I want to revisit that one. Before Netflix pulled all of the Universal shows a few years back, I watched it and it seemed to do fairly good for me. Yes, it's the original release. I picked it up at Walmart at a fairly good price. My boys were still pre-teens, and I bought in...

I'm working my way through S2 of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. It's another show I loved as a kid/teen but haven't had much chance to view it since. I bought the DVD set several years ago, and I don't think I ever got through it. It's another case of jumping the shark. S1 was pretty stellar...

Johnny makes up for the small quibble by doing the Hank Williams classic, I Saw the Light!

I'm thinking that was probably the case.

I finished Wonder Woman last night. I was saddened to hear of Lyle's passing as he was a great actor. I only wound up with 5 bad episodes total in the whole series, so I'm glad I didn't go the digital route. I did do a test run of the SD version on Amazon by buying an episode. Oh, no, don't do...

Aside from the missing S1 disc, which I know played flawlessly, all of Wonder Woman S1 is fine, so I'm going to digitally purchase the handful I don't have. I started S2 tonight. Disc 1, Side A plays 1 episode flawlessly, while the next 2 freeze and jump so bad that they are not watchable. Side...

Yes, they are cropped and tight. It's not as evident during the episode itself, but the credits are framed absolutely so tight that some of the stars with the credits at the beginning are cropped off at the top. I "think" you can buy SD episodes on Amazon, so for the particular discs that won't...

I decided to give Wonder Woman a binge. I wanted, first of all, to see what discs are good and what ones aren't. I have somehow lost the first disc of S1, so I watched side A of disc 2 without a problem. I'm thinking that problems didn't start to crop up until S3. The episodes look good for SD...

Google says Vudu has The Saint. Vudu begs to differ! They do have the Bond movies to rent or buy, but I prefer to go with Amazon as I have Amazon gift cards from the surveys I do. They do have The Curse of the Pink Panther available for free streaming with Roger, so I'm going to watch that soon...

I finished off The Saint tonight. I knew it seemed to be moving awfully fast. Amazon isn't streaming nearly all of the color episodes. I think, at least by spot check, all of the b&w seasons were complete. I'll have to add it to my want list on DVD. I was going to see if Amazon had The...

It's on Prime. I saw several of our forum members talking about it a couple of weeks ago. I had just finished up Yancy Derringer on Prime and was looking for a new show to stream. I think I do want to invest in the DVD set, though. My DSL connection is lousy, and I often get either a lousy...

Now for a question. I've never been a fan of the Bond franchise, but watching Sir Roger Moore has me rethinking that. As a fan of The Saint, would I enjoy his interpretation of 007? I know I'm out of the realm of TV, but I'm seriously curious. I know several actors have had the Bond role. Would...

I'm about 1/3 of the way through S6 of The Saint. I really haven't found a weak episode, although a few here and there were a bit less top notch. Roger Moore's cockiness as Simon Templar is funny. I chuckle when the halo appears above his head, especially with the look he gives. No matter what...

Just checking in to say I'm on episode 5 of The Saint. I'm hooked already! I was sort of surprised to see Robert Easton turn up as an American ambassador. He, of course, played Beauregard Short on The Beverly Hillbillies among other "hick" roles. He also had a bit part in the movie adaptation of...

And it just so happens that Amazon just gave me a suggestion for The Saint since I watched Yancy Derringer. It looks like one that'll keep me busy for a while!

I finished up Renegade. It really picked up steam towards the end. I'd always thought it similar to The Fugitive with a man being on the run that was falsely accused.The final episode even had that feel to it. Instead of a one armed man, though, we had a crooked cop. His boss, played by Kent...

Yes, that's the one. Admittedly, it gets tiring towards the end. They were really reaching at the tail end of S4 and then S5. They brought in Johnny Cash as a bounty that Reno picks up. They're both busted as a cop recognizes Reno. Once in the cell, Reno starts lamenting he wishes he would've...

I promise that I haven't disappeared! I finished up Green Acres. Prime isn't showing every episode, so it seems I missed out on the last two episodes that were not so good. I then watched Return to Green Acres on YouTube. Reunion movies are never as good as the original show, but in this case...

Thanks. I'm not even overly familiar with GA, but I was able to pick up right away on an abrupt edit on a particular episode. I paused it to see the running time, and it was 22 minutes and some change. Every S3 episode has been that way so far. I don't know if next few seasons will be complete...
