I'd like to see the following be released to DVD (or Blu-Ray if possible) *East Side/West Side *The Eleventh Hour *Breaking Point *Slattery's People *Ben Casey *Love On A Rooftop *Mr. Terrific *Captain Nice *My World, And Welcome To It *Accidental Family *My Friend Tony *N.Y.P.D...

And I have every right to say that a show is crap (in my humble opinion, of course); that's all that I said about it, too. I happen to think that The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis is that alone just for what's mentioned in the last season. If you're going to do a TV show, you have no right...

Which makes me wonder why people here think that this was a great show to begin with in the first place (especially for younger kids; they might as well watch any of the kid sitcoms on the Disney Channel as they do now.)

Much like Rescue 911!

Yet they were willing to shoot that POS show My Mother The Car and air it for a full season. In color. Amazing.:rolleyes:

Actually, it wasn't: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=41_vQ_qcEpk

Compared to the outright bigotry, societal intolerance, Christian exceptionalism (and some would say American exceptionalism) displayed in many older shows of the period of any alternate lifestyles or beliefs, I think that the cry about Catholicism (and Christianity) being treated badly in...

Now those are shows that should be revived and put on DVD via Warner Archive (77 SUNSET STRIP, SURFSIDE 6, HAWAIIAN EYE). Adventures In Paradise doesn't sound too bad, either.

I'm sorry, but Downton Abbey, Homicide: Life on The Street, The Wire, Mad Men, The Sopranos, Dexter, Lost and many more others are not a vast wasteland even if you have to account for reality TV programs. There's good and bad art in every decade-the trick is to finding the good and focusing on...

Glad to hear that Fridays is also coming to home video as well from Shout Factory.

I would love to find and read that interview, if only to see what a person who worked in the Golden Age of TV had to say about working in that era. It seems that he's bitter over how long his shows lasted, and how people then used to watch TV; not that much different from how people watch TV...

If I was in charge, I'd be trying to release (and promote heavily) classy classic stuff that hasn't been seen in years, (and that might actually sell units) instead of a sitcom that the actress who was the prime star didn't like and couldn't stand, and who dissed it in a radio interview. I know...

Pruitts of Southampton? Please God, NO! The show was nonsense from the get go, and even Diller herself knew it; during a visit to Toronto, she was asked on a radio station about this show, and the tone of her voice when she gave her response ('Oh, THAT show...') was more than enough for the...

Only if the movie's popular enough to renew interest in the character.

Actually, it was made by NTA, which is now a part of CBS Corporation, so the show might be a part of CBS, and distributed by CBS Television Distribution.

That sounds a lot like the two American TV shows Breaking Point and The Eleventh Hour. I wonder if MGM (the owner of the United States copyright, last time I checked) can be persuaded to bring it to America as an MOD from their version of Warner Archive?

I'm betting this happened due to the popularity of the movie and the remake TV show.

Oh well, I guess we can scratch that one off of the list as far as quality is concerned.

Possibly, if they own it. I forgot about that one. Both sound somewhat different (and in the case of The Baileys of Balboa) a bit more interesting than the program CBS got big ratings with that James Aubrey hated-and had The Baileys of Balboa created to challenge-Gilligan's Island. Thanks for...

Couldn't remember a lot of black and white shows owned by CBS Broadcasting that would be likely to be released on DVD-R in the last post, but now some are coming back to me: Guestward, Ho! Angel (1960 TV series) Pete and Gladys The Baileys of Balboa The Defenders For the People (William...

Okay, some more obscure and non-obscure shows from CBS Video (some more likely to be issued on DVD-R): Breaking Point Any Day Now The Associates The Marshal[/URL] The New People The Sentinel Legend (a program Richard Dean Anderson starred in that was after MacGyver, but before the more...

Same here. And The Lieutenant is a bit different (therefore more exciting) than Kildare, which is just another doctor show, plus, because it only had one season, it's easier for Warner Archive to put it on DVD, most likely (now, that doesn't mean that they shouldn't put Dr. Kildare on DVD...

It was a great first show done by a man that had another great show that has a ton of fans that buy the DVD's of his other show, and whom there are enough of to justify a DVD of his first show. Part of the problem is that Dr. Kildare never got rerun as it should have (back when I was a kid...

The Ziv library is owned by MGM, and one Ziv show has been released on DVD by MGM/Fox: Home Run Derby. Of course, that's mostly because baseball is popular. :)

I'm the intellectual coward? More like you are, sir. Check out my previous statement about liking and respecting older TV shows, but not elevating them above newer ones (and vice versa). There are great older programs from all the past eras that should be celebrated; I (and Neil) don't think...

FINALLY, somebody who hasn't let their good taste be completely blindsided by nostalgia! Thanks for saying this, Neil. At least you know that this show (and all of the others that Schwartz inflicted upon humanity) aren't amazing or even great, just mediocre and dumb. When people talk about 'old...

Many other classic shows of the 60's and 70's also had moralizing (The Defenders, For The People, Slattery's People, Medical Center, plus a few others-you didn't object to those, did you? The show's on DVD, so following it shouldn't be a problem.:cool:

Sorry Garry, but my previous post wasn't meant to blast all new TV shows, especially drama and sitcoms-there are a ton of new and recent classics that are on TV now, and to blast all of TV for what you've mentioned with your list-well, there'd no stories to tell except the ones that have already...

The 'audience for it' has to be in the millions of buyers, just like that of Star Trek: TOS. If there isn't, the company won't make any DVD's of old B&W TV shows-its a simple as that. In an ideal world, all old TV shows would be put on DVD and Blu-Ray DVD, and everybody would buy them...

Gary, my comment isn't meant to be rude, but truthful in nature, and would be asked by anybody else besides me as well. Where do you guys (and gals) get the idea that WHV was just going to put older shows on DVD willy-nilly and irregardless of the demand for said shows?
