The Big Valley - Season 2 (Shout)

I really enjoy this series; the characters, the stories and the locations and therein lies my biggest issue. It seems that there are too many pick-up shots in studio. They have great locations and in most scenes, there is seemingly unnecessary cutting between studio and location. It is a sometimes frenetic and frantic experience. This pandemic has me searching for series I do not have. Will be scouring the 'net for the other three seasons if possible.

Midsomer Murders - Series 6

I am a sucker for several of the Acorn TV series and this is one of my favorites. For the most part I borrow or stream these from my library since there are so many sets and they can be very expensive.
Besides this one I also enjoy The Brokenwood Mysteries, Foyles War and The Murdoch Mysteries.
Every so often I purchase a set to put on the shelf mainly because I appear to have the collecting disease.

 

[David Weicker]

Just ordered all three seasons of Dark Matter on Blu-Ray.

I'm picking up the German releases (amazon.de) since the total for all three comes to about $41 (as opposed to $30-$40 each for the US versions).

 

[Peter M Fitzgerald]

Just ordered, through 3rd party sellers on Amazon.uk:

The Sentimental Agent: Complete Series [Region 2 DVD] (my second attempt to get this out-of-print set, used and at a decent price (at £39.98), after an abortive first try with a U.S. seller, where the shipping may or may not have been affected by the initial outbreak of Covid19)

The Strange Report: Complete Series [Region 2 DVD]

 

[Museum Pieces]

The Prisoner Blu-ray. It's a double dip but I wanted it, found a set used, and took the plunge.

Strange Report: Complete Series [Region 2 DVD]

Congrats on tracking down a copy of The Sentimental Agent, Peter! Mine never did arrive, alas...

I think you're really going to dig Strange Report.

 

[Jeff Flugel]

The Prisoner Blu-ray. It's a double dip but I wanted it, found a set used, and took the plunge.

It's well worth the upgrade, Skylar. The Prisoner looks stunning in HD.

The Saint: The Complete Monochrome Series

Since Network's shipping for this big box set (71 episodes of the four black-and-white seasons of The Saint, on 18 discs) was almost as much as the set itself, I added a few more titles that I've been eyeballing for a while now, with no additional charge to the shipping. I'm guessing that it'll be a big box heading my way...

Jason King: The Complete Series

I know it looks like Charles Bronson above, but it's Peter Wyngarde, of course, in this spinoff series to Department S.

Bless This House: The Complete Series

Catweazle: The Complete Series

 

[Museum Pieces]

It's well worth the upgrade, Skylar. The Prisoner looks stunning in HD.

I can't wait. It's coming from across the pond so I have a few days to build my anticipation. I'm keeping my DVDs because my understanding is the alternate version of THE CHIMES OF BIG BEN is not included.

I enjoy watching my favorite DANGER MAN episodes followed by THE PRISONER. Wish we could get DANGER MAN in BD.

Keep your fingers crossed. Word on the street is that Network has plans to release Danger Man on Blu-Ray at some point. Whether they will start with the half-hour series or the hour-long version is anybody's guess at this stage.

Thanks for the news. I hope they start with the hour series. Some of my favorite TV episodes of all time are in that hour series run.

I was able to purchase Sentimental Agent several years ago, and you will really enjoy that one as well, Peter. Light and breezy, with a theme song that makes you want to get up and dance.

Oh, yes, The Sentimental Agent theme tune is ridiculously catchy! Here's a little suite of music from the series:

Bought volume 1 of a series called Survival that aired in 1964. VCI put this set out a few years ago. Only ever saw one episode and liked it very much. The episode I saw was about the attack on the carrier USS Franklin and the fight to save the badly damaged carrier.

Also bought the seasons 1-5 set of Laverne & Shirley that has popped up at Big Lots recently for $15. Was missing two of these seasons, so seemed like a good deal.

I purchased that one for much the same reason - $15 for S1-S5 (I already had S1 & S2). Considering S6 is when they made the move to CA and the show, IMHO, took a nosedive I'm OK with just those 5 seasons.

I remember this being shown on American network TV -- pretty sure it was NBC -- back in the late 60s or early 70s. Snapped up the original Network DVD set when it was first released in the early 00s.

I think it gives a good sense of what they're considering upgrading to Blu-ray.
