Still waiting for more Jungle Jim,Boston Blackie and Lone Wolf . Not to forget Crime Doctor and The Whistler series that haven't been released yet .
Sony pools its MOD DVD distribution and marketing with Warner Archive (the gold standard, I think it's safe to say, in unearthing catalog titles on MOD DVD). You can find their titles by going to the "Studios" tab on the Warner Archives page:Is there a list somewhere of Sony's new MOD releases? I used keep up to date with them from their press site but ever since the hacking they took the site down and haven't put it back up yet.
I typed Sony into the WBshop search box at the top of the page ("What are you looking for") and got 549 hits, the vast majority of them their MOD releases.revgen said:Since Warner Archive has moved to WB shop, it's now almost impossible to find any of the Sony MOD titles.

It doesn't seem to be a sales issue. The second set of Charley Chase shorts (released over a year ago) is currently the second-highest selling Sony MOD title at Warner Archive's website. The first set, released over two years ago, is currently in the top 50.
Langdon's output could be done in two single-disc sets, like the Chase's were.

That wasn't what I meant.Dan McW said:Sony no longer controls the 1951 "M," if that's what you mean.
I too would love a box set or two of the Jungle Jim series. When the Sony MOD program started they released several titles in startlingly excellent transfers. I wish they would have continued. The series is a very enjoyable 60 minutes of fluff.Professor Echo said:I guess that JUNGLE JIM Box Set will never see the light of day. I wish TCM would air those again so I could fill some holes in my collection.

Maybe throw on some shorts and serial chapters, and the odd screen-gems/upa cartoon....
