Last night I watched the first seven episodes and I thought it was incredibly corny and delightful.

Wow, that's quite a lot of special features on that complete Doris Day Show set....enjoy the corniness, Neal!

Why would anyone laugh? I have S1, myself, and one of these days, I'll get around to getting the others.

Thank you Jeff. I feel like Burgess Meredith except I have 128 episodes of delightful corn and time enough at last, ahhhhh.

There's a wonderful history about the show written by HTF member Caproni. It's a testament to Doris Day that you would never know this was a series she did not want to do when you watch the life she pumped into it.

I ordered late May: the seventh season of Gunsmoke.​

I'm currently enjoying Disc #3. So far so good.​

Being a comedy, there should be some laughter!

This looks like a nice fairly compact set. I do remember seeing this "3 shows in one" series just a couple of years after its first run. They would air weekday afternoons around 4:30 or 5:00 PM, as I recall. I haven't seen this series in well over 40 years, but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing them again, given the opportunity. They just don't make shows like this, anymore.

CHEERS!

Like others have said - there's nothing to laugh about picking up that series. I own the complete series myself, though not in such a compact form (my first 2 or 3 seasons are the thicker packaging releases). I like the first season best and it changes its premise every season. It *does* get a bit overly cheesy towards the end with several episodes that seem to be nothing but fashion show junk to allow Ms. Day to strut her stuff a bit. The over use of "The Doris Day" filter is also distracting (but at least it was only used for her closeups and solo shots). I discussed some of the seasons in the "What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?" thread.

All courtesy of Big Lots.

Those Bonanza volumes are great deals. The store here had both volumes of two seasons (8 and 9 IIRC) - sadly, seasons I already own, otherwise I'd have jumped on them.

Very good Tony! I'm through the first two discs and it really is genuine laughter. The nice thing is that there isn't any canned laughter. I wonder if that will last throughout the entire series? It is fascinating how much syndication or the lack thereof can affect the destiny of a great show and if it remembered or forgotten.

I spent quite some time searching this forum for your Doris Day comments and cannot find them. Can you please post a link?

Thanks Howie. Your memory of what you watched during those time periods is absolutely incredible!! One can easily see the impact that classic television has had on your life.

Don't laugh. Last night I watched the first seven episodes and I thought it was incredibly corny and delightful.

One episode ("Doris, the Model") features two recurring actors from M*A*S*H: McLean Stevenson (of course) and Johnny Haymer (Sgt. Zale).

Just noticed the box credits a "Rosie" Marie.

Rawhide - Season 3, Volume 1

The third season of Rawhide is excellent. A must see for western series enthusiasts.

Through some miracle, I scored a used DVD set of James Burke's Connections 2 (1994) via Amazon Marketplace yesterday for $25 (vendors usually offer it for $100-$200 more than that), so now I'll finally have all three Connections series on my shelf. Hurrah!

I like the connections series very much and LOVE the original that IMHO is the most well done documentary of all time.

Dynasty: The Reunion

I have purchased the entire series and started watching it in March. I am now on Season 9, so in a few days I will have the entire series viewed. This is one of the reasons I haven't posted much over here at all, plus I was working a lot until school ended a couple of weeks ago.
