Unfortunately, what some of us predicted in greeting the news about the SHOUT/TIMELESS "merger" is most likely coming to pass. As far as vintage TV goes, Timeless did indeed seem to be the vision of one man and as he has now apparently retired, so too his insight, ideas and preferences for the subject are apparently fading away with him. Shout is a company that prides themselves on appearing perpetually cool and hip, even when dealing with decades old television. They have taken on shows with a ready fan base and attempted to market them as forever cool. None of which would apply to something like FRONTIER CIRCUS, so expecting a company like Shout to ever go that route would be dreaming. I get the impression from the few Shout employees I've met here in LA that they would never handle anything they couldn't pitch to their trendy friends.
