    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Here lately, the CD/DVD drive on my computer has just plain quit on me, so now I am (as of right now) unable to document the episodes I see here, because I'm unable to get the screenshots for them; my nephew, however, is going to get me an external CD/DVD drive which I can plug up by USB, and if...

    Have indirectly taken checkers on T.J. Hooker... ...by finishing Season 2 (and to be honest, while I didn't see every single second of every single episode, the second season had enough exciting moments to keep me interested most of the time). The last two episodes, IMHO, were very well...

    Advanced quite a few more episodes on second-season T.J. Hooker, and almost to be through with that second go, and in a roundabout way, the show; "Sweet Sixteen...and Dead" (OAD Saturday, February 12, 1983 on ABC) has an audio plaster of sorts on Shout!'s all-in-one DVD (specifically, on the end...

    Same with me-- it's a lot of work to say what I want to say about the episodes I talk about (talking about the episode itself, and then finding the screenshots that best reflect what the story is about).

    Have advanced quite a few episodes on second-season Hooker lately; one of the best is the premiere, "Second Chance" (OAD Saturday, September 25, 1982 on ABC), because it's the debut of Heather Locklear as Desk Sgt. Stacy Sheridan, daughter of Capt. Dennis Sheridan (the late Richard Herd); here...

    Finished up Season 5 (the CBS season) of T.J. Hooker, and have moved back to Season 2 (the second of the four ABC seasons) to possibly finish the set; have 21 more episodes to go there, and then Hooker should be concluded.

    Just saw that one-- very much in-depth.

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    That's actually "Mother's Deadly Helper," which I thought was a pretty good episode-- IMO, however, another episode on the same grounds, "Police Buff" from The Streets of San Francisco in 1976 (fourth-season), was far better.

    Neglected to add this to what I said about fifth-and-final-season CBS Hooker: this cast photo of that final season.

    Have finished Season 4 of T.J. Hooker (the last ABC season), and now moving firmly into Season 5 (the Tiffany Network [CBS Late Night] season, where the show was on at 11:30 P.M.

    Thanks for the mention on that! I should also note that this is one of at least two fifth-and-final-season Tiffany Network episodes (I did a spot check when I first received my purchase of Shout!'s Hooker all-in-one from Amazon) that has no pause of black screen between the Spelling-Goldberg...

    Here's that episode of Hart to Hart from Tubi-- does the episode far more justice, and the subtitling/captions are far better than the DVDs from Shout!. https://tubitv.com/tv-shows/619073/s05-e04-pandora-has-wings?start=true Also, I'm reading dialogue in the captioning that I didn't know was...

    I am now trying @Bob Gu's advice insofar as screenshots are concerned; the episode this time (when I am done) will be the fifth-and-final-season episode of Hart to Hart called "Pandora Has Wings" (OAD Tuesday, October 25, 1983 on ABC). I am using VLC to take the shots, and IrfanView to make...

    Thanks for putting my mind at ease on the subject! You have made it very easy for me to carry on as I have been, and so I will continue to do so as I find more episodes of anything to talk about here.
