Glad to have a fellow classic Who fan on the boards here, Doug! Just in case you were unaware, there is a 75-minute documentary ("Let's Go Dutch") on Disc 9 of the set, that brings Davison and his companions back to Amsterdam (where parts of "Arc of Infinity" were filmed) to reminisce about S20...

Great news that The Alaskans is finally available for pre-order (thanks, Bob!)! Most likely WAC didn't want to list a pre-order until they had the actual release date locked in. I've used MovieZyng with good results several times in the past, but will likely follow Randall's lead and wait for...

Wikipedia is your friend, Howie...once you know the number of each Doctor, it's pretty straightforward. It is a rather dumb marketing gimmick that is used with the North American releases, but like you say, it was much more troublesome (and expensive) with the DVD range, which mostly released a...

William Russell, in memorium William Russell Enoch (19 November 1924 – 3 June 2024) was an English actor, whose career on stage and screen spanned over seven decades. He achieved prominence when he took the title role in the ITV television series The Adventures of Sir Lancelot (1956–1957). In...

Looks like Imprint in Australia strikes again, picking up Network's mantle in this case: Includes all of the extras from Network's older DVD release of the series, plus lots of new ones...including new commentaries and a 120-page booklet from TV historian and researched Andrew Pixley...

Clint Walker Birthday Memorial Tribute I've always had a liking for big, soft-spoken man-mountain Clint Walker - in part, because he reminds me quite a bit of my own father, another gentle giant. Walker's voice might be deeper, and his chest even broader, but both men are old-school guys that...

Colonel March of Scotland Yard The Abbott and Costello Show S2 Blu-Ray

As an addendum to Neal's terrific Jo Ann Harris birthday tribute posts above, here are some episode reviews of a few more of her TV appearances. Adam-12 – 1.16 “Log 62: Grand Theft Horse?” Just another day on the beat for officers Malloy (Martin Milner) and Reed (Kent McCord), as they contend...

The Master – 1.11 “Failure to Communicate” Ninja master McAllister (Lee Van Cleef) and his hotheaded young protégé Max (Timothy Van Patten) stop off at Max’s hometown to check in on his estranged father, Patrick (Doug McClure), a former respected lawyer but now an alcoholic, after an accident...

Pre-ordered on Amazon back in April, but finally due to ship out on June 4th: Otherwise known as S20. Been waiting for the Region A version of this one for a long time (the U.K. edition was released back in September 2023!) Can't wait to watch the 20th anniversary special "The Five Doctors"...

Yes, the vice squad guys are on protection duty as the poet attends a (very '80s in design) art gallery. Bianca Jagger's assassin character tries to take the poet out at this location, but is thwarted by a vigilant Tubbs. Lots of nice NYC and, in this case, upstate location filming in Decoy...

Carradine's character is only half-Chinese, an orphan who was raised by Shaolin monks, detailed in the show's (excellent) 90-minute pilot episode. Luckily, the producers don't try to "Yellowface" him up. I do agree that Kung Fu can be slow, and at times grim and downbeat, but IMO it's a very...

Colt .45 Still working my way through S1 of this sturdy half-hour WB western. These Disc 4 episodes remain strong and varied, although star Wayde Preston is occasionally sidelined in service of the guest stars. And I tell you, straightlaced, no-nonsense Colt is undeniably a stand-up guy and a...

The Six Million Dollar Man – 3.20 “The Bionic Badge” A group of thieves have been stealing atomic bomb components and Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson) suspects that aging, veteran beat cop Officer Banner (Noah Beery, Jr.) is on the take. Steve Austin (Lee Majors), working undercover as a rookie...

Will Hutchins Birthday Tribute (continued) Sugarfoot - 3.3 “MacBrewster the Bold” A joyful fifty minutes of classic TV, this. These WB westerns have a bad rap (not entirely unearned) for tired, recycled plots, but they could also at times come up with some really original stories. This...

Happy 94th Birthday, Will Hutchins! Will Hutchins (born Marshall Lowell Hutchason; May 5, 1930) is an American actor most noted for playing the lead role of the young lawyer Tom Brewster, in the western television series Sugarfoot, which aired on ABC from 1957 to 1961 for 69 episodes...

A couple of David and Rick's children are shown at least once, briefly, in an epilogue added to the end of the re-broadcast version of "The Busy Christmas." Rick sings "The Christmas Song" while we get brief shots of Kris holding baby Tracy and David and June with their son Danny.

Forgot about this one coming out...thanks for the reminder, guys! Looking forward to hearing reviews of this set.

Good stuff, Dan! I'm just a bit behind you, having recently finished up Disc 3 of S1. Really enjoying the show, taking it slow and savoring it. Here's what I wrote about the last four episodes on Disc 3 in the "What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD (or Blu)?" thread: Colt .45 1.16...

Happy birthday, Tony! ;) 🎁 🎉 :biggrin: Enjoy your A & C S2 set. I plan on picking up a copy for myself real soon.

Been too busy with the new semester to get much classic TV watched, but here's what I've managed to fit in over the past couple of weeks or so: Colt .45 Four more rock-solid episodes of this WB western, finishing off Disc 3, S1 of Warner Archive’s terrific Blu-Ray set. 1.16 “Decoy” Christopher...

No, there's still Temple Houston and The Travels of Jaimie McPheeteers (an MGM property originally) left in the vaults, perhaps some others, too, like The Rounders.

Wow! Great news to wake up to this morning. Another series I' thought would never see the light of day. As a fan of classic TV as well as Roger Moore, I'll be getting this one right away upon release. Warner Archive is really hitting 'em out of the park this year!

Welcome, Tim! Been enjoying your posts in the McMillan & Wife thread. Hope to read more of your thoughts in other classic TV-on-DVD and moive threads.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - Complete Series (Been eyeballing this one for a while, and finally pulled the trigger, as it was $39.99 in the current Kino sale.)

I've never played any Fallout games before, but have been enjoying this series immensely. Terrific world building, the violence and gore balanced by generally effective pitch-black humor, plenty of action and some intriguing mysteries sprinkled here and there. So far, it's a lot of fun and one...

Agreed with Gary and Bert. Angel looks like a cute show and I'd be definitely down for getting that one at some point, but seeing the Hoppy films in HD is what I'm most excited for.

Amazing tribute to Richard Chamberlain and his work on Dr. Kildare, Randall...great to see you back posting in this thread! Buddy Ebsen Birthday Memorial Happy birthday to the multi-talented Buddy Ebsen. Ebsen (born Christian Ludolf Ebsen, Jr., April 2, 1908 – July 6, 2003), also known...

First time viewings in BOLD: 1. The Texan - 2.8 “Stampede/2.9 “Showdown in Abilene”/2.11 “Trouble on the Trail” 2. Have Gun - Will Travel - 1.37 "Silver Convoy" 3. The Tall Men (1955) 4. Riding Shotgun (1954) 5. The Restless Gun - 2.14 "The Way Back" 6. Zane Grey Theatre - 1.8 "A Quiet Sunday...

Colt .45 Three more solid entries in this fine WB western, beautifully presented on Warner Archive’s recently-released Blu-Ray set. 1.13 “Mirage” Colt (big Wayde Preston) finds himself coming to the aid of a small Mexican settlement in the middle of the desert, the only source of water for...
