His posting style reminds me of that of two posters who have long since been suspended and never posted at the same time.

Thanks for your mini-review, but since you once posted how funny you thought THE MOTHERS-IN-LAW was, I'll take a pass on this critique as well.

Gary "Uni definitely has some shows I'd like to see completed, and others I wouldn't mind at least sampling" O.

Same here. The last two examples for me are State Trooper and Coronado 9. I had never heard of these shows before, but took a chance on them because I had read they were from the 50's. I enjoyed both shows and hope Timeless continues to release shows like these from this earlier era of television.

it would be nice if universal finished black sheep squadron.

I'm not listing their post-1990 shows, basically because they aren't of any interest to me. If I get some free time at a later date I may put them up in another post. But for the time being, here are the shows I did not list in my first Universal posting. These are the shows whose release likelihood falls under slim and none. Oh, and I forgot on the last list Bionic Woman, 6 Million Dollar Man and Black Sheep Squadron but those are coming out.

Timeless had been a savior in releasing some of those shows on DVD, and my twin brother and I have been fortunate to buy those sets.

Owned by Universal and with a whopping total of 11 episodes, Cliffhangers from 1979 would make a great tv series release from Kino.

 

[JoeDoakes]

I'd love to see Darren McGavin's The Outsider. I understand that there are no transfers. Perhaps the popularity of Kolchak on METV might convince someone to pick it up and transfer it.

or, from Madman in Australia, who gave us Darkroom...

I'm willling to wager that this series has (likely) never been converted to digital. Hec, it might never have been transferred to tape at all, as it was surely broadcast from film at the time, and probably had limited foreign distribution after cancellation.

An Australian release would be welcome!

You were most undoubtedly thinking of Hec Ramsey!

The last episode with the concluding segments of "Secret Empire" and "Stop Susan Williams" only aired overseas.

While not available domestically in Region 1 USA DVD format, The Law and Harry McGraw is on DVD in France, Region 2 format (and yes, does have an English soundtrack in addition to French; only French subtitles, though!).

I absolutely hate that forced subtitles seems to be inevitable on any releases from France. The Frenchies have lost several sales from me for that very reason. Don't understand why they wouldn't do like Germany and offer English-language shows in the original language with a subtitles-off option, for film purists (like how some US customers refuse to buy English-dubbed Japanese movie), and for "other region" customers.

Yep. The copy I saw was from Australian television around 1980, as there was a voice-over about David Janssen's death on the end credits.
