Please let them stay with Four Star for one reason I've pleaded for more times than I care to remember!

Professor Echo said:THE REBEL is a must buy for me, so very happy with this news.
Vintage western series comprise some of the finest programming in the history of American television and every new release is cause for celebration. That period of television was without question one of the best in terms of embracing superb writing, directing and acting. The plethora and spectrum of westerns back then yielded an amazingly fertile canvas for exploring humanity in all its facets and complexity. I always feel a little sad for those who have no affection for the genre as they are missing artistic levels of television that we will most likely never see again.
With the Rebel coming, only Trackdown and the soon to be released Lawman are left for me.Jack P said:I'm overdosed as it is on westerns from this era. The essential titles for me in that genre or finished or in the case of "Gunsmoke" have their best era out on DVD that at this point, with the singular exception of "The Alaskans" there isn't a single title left in the genre I'd give a blind buy view of.
Richard V said:And I hope it's with Johnny Cash's original song instead of the generic instrumental on the syndicated prints.
Silverking said:As they are also releasing 'Science Fiction Theater' which was the last of the Ziv titles they acquired it will be interesting to see where they go next, if at all.

Neil Brock said:Not true. Target was also in that deal and we haven't seen that one yet.
DeWilson said:So I take it the three other high profile ZIV Shows, "Boston Blackie" , "I Led 3 Lives", and "Men into Space" were not part of the deal?
Any idea when Target is released? It would really cap my Adolphe Menjou collection... ;^)Neil Brock said:Not true. Target was also in that deal and we haven't seen that one yet.
Randy Korstick said:Anyone know if Timeless plans to Complete Zane Grey Theater with the 4th and 5th seasons?
Neil Brock said:From what I am hearing, no, there aren't plans to continue. However, the good news is that Grit TV, which thus far is running everything uncut, airs the show 4 times a day, 5 days a week. Season four should be starting shortly so this is a good place to pick up the last 2 seasons. Check your local listings!
GMBurns said:Neil, were the sales for Zane Grey Theatre less than hoped for? I have enjoyed the show a lot, and don't have cable, so I had been hoping that Timeless might release the last two seasons.
