    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    The Untouchables: Season 4 half volume sets' transfers look quite good (based on testing the discs out). Satisfied with these releases of the final season. A question about a different black and white TV series - which is the best DVD release to get of Decoy?

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Replying to post #1071 on page 36 of this thread: Jeff, been considering getting the series Arrest & Trial on DVD, as being a Law & Order fan I do like the format of one half with the detectives and the other half with the court case. Not watched Honey West, Johnny Staccato and Man...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    How I see it with DVD and Blu-ray collecting is, it's a hobby you enjoy and there's the added enjoyment of discussing DVD and Blu-ray titles, the players and future titles with fellow collectors. I try not to say "I have a better DVD and Blu-ray collection than you", because I don't see the...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Wasn't taking the mickey out of you Jack, and I wasn't hinting at anything negative at all (which there wouldn't be). Just that I hadn't seen any or many posts by yourself recently. Along with the Olympic Games at the moment, there's the buildup in the UK to the start of the new...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Didn't spot the two dots inbetween the two sentences in my post which you quoted. Wasn't one of those deliberate, mysterious silences. Not sure at all which black and white TV shows I would get on Blu-ray if they were released. It would depend on the condition of the prints. I'm intrigued...

    Off-topic, but just to say that I had wondered where you had been Jeff, along with Gary and Jack P.. Been strange without your presence.

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Yes, the fourth (and final) season of the original The Untouchables series is released a week today (July 24th) in two half volumes (all that's left is The Return of Elliot Ness, which may be stuck in rights limbo). Look forward to seeing it, even if the last season may be weaker than the...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    The Beverly Garland series Decoy is high on my list of most requested black and white series I'd like to see a complete (or as near to complete) series DVD set relesed of.

    Apologies Gary if you've commented on some of Network's titles before, but are there any of their upcoming black and white TV show titles you're interested in? EDIT: D'oh! You've mentioned you've got some Network titles, but that was in the past tense.

    Thanks for mentioning the series City Detective, as I hadn't heard about it until reading your post (haven't read Rod Cameron's IMDb filmography yet).

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Don't think I'm interested enough in getting Timeless' DVD sets of State Trooper, but Coronado 9 is a series I'm considering getting. Is it purely a detective drama series?

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    The Mike Hammer series with Darren McGavin in the role, I'll get at some point. It's the kind of series I'd be interested in, and Darren McGavin I've enjoyed in some of the TV shows he's guest starred in (The X Files, Millennium). Prefer on location scenes to studio set scenes in TV shows, so it...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Decided to get Timeless' DVD set of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct. Robert Lansing I've enjoyed in his recurring role of Control on The Equalizer, and Norman Fell I've seen in episodes of a few TV shows, including an episode of Mannix. Hopefully more black and white detective shows will follow from...

    Sounds intriguing and also very welcome.

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Do you (and this question applies to anyone else, even though I'm going off-topic sort of) watch Christmas episodes of black and white (and colour) TV shows during the rest of the year outside of Christmas? Don't mind when a TV show does a Christmas episode, even when it's a bit schmaltzy...

    Decided to get Timeless' Johnny Staccato DVD set. Thanks for your help. As well as the aforementioned black and white TV shows from Timeless which I'm interested in, later on this year The Human Jungle is being released by Network (based on the show's synopsis and Herbert Lom starring, it...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    At the moment, considering getting three black and white TV show DVD sets (not including the original The Untouchables series, as I've got the fourth season pre-ordered), and all from Timeless - 87th Precinct, Johnny Staccato (depending on much music has possibly been replaced or substituted)...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Out of those four shows you mention Jack, you've reminded me about Cain's Hundred and The Eleventh Hour. The former I'd especially like to see, as I've been a fan of Peter Mark Richman's TV work (a recurring role on Dynasty for a few seasons, and guest star roles on Mission: Impossible and The...

    Henry, thanks for posting this update on the third season (and beyond) of The F.B.I. Having a guess at a fall/an autumn release for the third season.

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    I'm happy to say that I don't have an advanced knowledge with the technical side of DVDs, Blu-rays, streaming etc., but I will say (and this is going off-topic) that I much prefer physical media to downloads. Downloading music tracks I don't mind, but having that physical copy of a CD album in...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Prefer colour shows on the whole, with the odd black and white TV series, but well said. From my point of view, I'm not interested in the animated cartoons and shows the Warner Archive are releasing, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and am hopeful that further seasons of The FBI will be...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Haven't collected that many black and white TV shows on DVD. One series which I was glad was released (being a fan of Charles Bronson) was Man with a Camera. Mr. Ed is comedy series I'm interested in getting (although I'd need to read more about Shout's first season set first, before deciding to...
