How many other releases besides this have included episodes of related/similar shows as bonuses?

OT-- they do have HDs for 70s crime dramas like The Streets of San Francisco, do they not? I am thinking they do, per how I'm reading what you've said here.

I could very much read, but I have so many shows (don't know the number) that it would have been a tall order to determine a percentage.

And that Medic from Timeless has 44 of the 59 outings of that 1954-56 NBC medical series w/Richard Boone.

Forgot about that one on mine.

I don't know if I can come up with an actual percentage, but I can name the specific shows (I believe this is all of them) that I have in B/W: --Medic --Perry Mason (7 of 9 seasons) --Have Gun Will Travel --M Squad --Wanted Dead or Alive --The Untouchables --The Rebel --Route 66 (1 of 4...

I'll say it is-- it sold like hotcakes with fans and others alike.

It certainly is-- wonder if an all-in-one will be made as well.

That's great to hear, that that classic ABC 50s and 60s comedy will be concluded!

Sort of like a proto-Miami Vice insofar as filming and production were concerned, I take it.

Was unaware-- brings it to light.

How did NBC's telefilm division get that name (California National)?

That's wonderful, how the releases have gotten all the way up to 1962 (when the tenth season ended)!

That's a great point! When Heath of Cereal at Midnight reviewed that Charlie's Angels Blu, he not only touched on the fact that it had subtitles, but also that the packaging was much improved from the Knight Rider and Miami Vice releases, in that each disc had a separate tray in it, unlike the...

Did I tell you that the Creek Charlie's Angels Blu does have subtitles?

Or even in older, color television.

Then you probably haven't seen their new all-in-one of Hunter, which does have captioning/subtitles (not letter-perfect, of course, but still at least it does).

Actually, it did, but only in PDs.

Very true-- even if it were 7 discs at 5 episodes per disc (or 6 discs [5 having 6 episodes apiece, and the last one having the last 5]), I'd still get it and possibly enjoy it, because I've never seen that CBS action/detective/comedy series before.

Like at the top of I Love Lucy, for one?

I see-- I take it, then, by what you're saying, that not enough people wanted that first go of The Defenders for Shout!/CBS to put any more out.

Why would these companies set magical numbers for such things?

That would seem to be about the size of it-- if it's not the short, 10-episode seasons (or "limited series") of today, it doesn't seem to make much money for the studios these days.

That's very sad, IMO-- I know a lot of us here have a good many B/Ws in our collections, and there have been plenty of excellent ones thereto, but if B/Ws stop being released, in favor of everything new and current today (and only that), that will be a sad day for the industry.

Or even color classics, like Barney Miller or The Streets of San Francisco.

In other words, the video companies/studios are run now by those who favor what's on now much more than what was on then-- is that it?

I don't think you did-- it's just that CBS DVD/MOD have seemingly ended, a lot of people here (myself included) worry about the fate of shows like that, Bonanza, and Gunsmoke, among others.

Shame that that Desilu show has practically become nonexistent nowadays, whereas many others (like I Love Lucy [flagship of the late, great Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz], and O-R NBC 60s Star Trek, among others), have survived and thrived long beyond when they were originally on, and have made...

Especially Ben Casey-- that first go of it, a lot of us here got (both volumes worth, IINM), because we wanted to see what that classic 1961-66 ABC medical series was like; I think that as with Gunsmoke, CBS ought to see the proof in the pudding that we want to see that, and continue putting it out.

All that is my thoughts exactly about Riptide!
