TMG: THE NAME OF THE GAME: SEASON 1 8/19/2014 (1 Viewer)

Hint as to what is still extant post-fire for potential DVD release. Not a hint that one is imminent.

 

[FanCollector]

Noticing that every online listing except Amazon is saying the release date is October 28th, rather than August 19th.

Dang!

Looking forward to this release--hopefully more non-westerns are on the way!

I sometimes go through listings of what was on the networks in a specific year & then research from there & see what's available on DVD. I've added some nice shows to my collection that way. I hear so many good things about THE DEFENDERS that I'd love see that one!Very happy about NAME OF THE GAME though!

 

[DeWilson]

The obvious hint is what has aired on cable stations post-fire and has it been the full runs. This is why I think "The Bold Ones" and "Run For Your Life" and "McCloud" have to make it eventually because they are available.

But Those shows (along with "Suspense Theater") haven't had complete runs aired The cable outlets skipped episodes - so they may not have complete runs on those on hand.
However, several of the shorter run "THE BOLD ONES" did air complete runs. (Minus the pilot movies)

 

[Jack P]

There was however talk of "The Name Of The Game" not airing all its episodes either, and that's making it of course. Several episodes of "The Virginian" I know were skipped as well in cable airings (the one that comes to mind is a first season episode with Tammy Grimes). I think if these shows are on the daily schedules that is still a positive sign. "Switch" by contrast only had a select few airing in limited slots.

 

[FanCollector]

McCloud is certainly available in its entirety. The United States and Liberia are just the last two countries that haven't released all the episodes yet...

McCloud is certainly available in its entirety...

...though only the Australian release of McCloud season 1 from Madman Entertainment has the original six episodes from season one (1970).

For all those other Run For Your Life fans who mentioned it on this thread, I contacted Timeless and they told me they have no current plans to release the show.

 

[Ian K McLachlan]

That's a great shame.

 

[Frank Soyke]

That's a great shame.

Yes, it seems that now my favorite all time show now holds the dubious honour of being the only 3+ seasons hour long drama premeiring from 65-70 to not get any kind of DVD release. You can include The Bold Ones if you want, but you get the point.

Encore Westerns showed all of The Virginian except The Heritage and Storm Over Shiloh.
RTV showed all or almost all of Switch. However, the prints were not very good. Many looked very washed out.

Thanks!

Pre-ordered this immediately, pretty high concept show for 1968 into 1969 -- great news about a great show, sorry to hear about "Run For Your Life" still out of commission.

Will do. Gladly. I do seem to think I remember someone mentioning that O' Hara was a Warner product though. I could be wrong.

 

[HenryDuBrow]

Harry O is Warner, maybe that was it. O'Hara I believe should be Universal, feel free to ask them any title off my list too.

 

[Jack P]

O'Hara is indeed Universal. Reruns aired in the early 90s on A+E as part of a package deal of other short-lived Universal shows that also included "Ellery Queen", "Delvecchio", "City Of Angels" and "Mrs. Columbo" (which should stay buried even though two episodes got stuck as "bonuses" on the regular "Columbo" releases).

Thanks a lot Frank!

Take Care!
