That's wonderful news!~All 67 episodes remastered from 4K scans of the original camera negatives - Releasing on March 12. Now that this can has been opened, what other classic Warner TV western would you like to see on Blu-Ray?

Don't forget about The Eleventh Hour Season Two.If this release unlocks the doors for potential Maverick, Lawman, Sugarfoot, Bronco and Cheyenne releases on Blu-Ray, then BRING IT ON!!! Wouldn't that be something!
Also, just like @Jeff Flugel, I too thought that Colt .45 would remain pretty much a pipe dream! What an absolute home run by WAC.
I used to lap up all those American western series way back then in the UK, all those titles, plus Wyatt Earp, Wagon Train, Have Gun Will Travel & quite a few others, but I can’t for the life of me remember Colt .45. But great news, & also great news that these mega Blu-ray TV box sets are still being released (The Man From UNCLE?).If this release unlocks the doors for potential Maverick, Lawman, Sugarfoot, Bronco and Cheyenne releases on Blu-Ray, then BRING IT ON!!! Wouldn't that be something!
Jefferson Drum? That was a Goodson-Todman/Screen Gems production (Sony). I'd like to see Temple Houston be released, The Travels of Jamie McPheeters (MGM/Turner), The Rounders, same as TOJMcP, and those detective shows!Woo-HOO! What incredible news - thanks for sharing, Stan! I thought all hope was lost for this series, and never in million years would have expected a complete series Blu-Ray release! Day one purchase for me.
I had asked about Colt .45's chances and on one of the very last episodes of the now-defunct Warner Archive podcast, George Feltenstein talked about its complicated music clearance issues. There was also the fact that there were apparently no tape masters of the show, so it required a complete remastering from the original elements...which is seemingly what we got. Simply unbelievable, especially at this stage of the physical media game.
So who knows? There may indeed be a chance for some of the long-clamored-for WB detective shows...at least, perhaps a sampler set of easier-to-clear episodes. Other classic TV wants from WAC for me would be S2 of Mr. Novak, Jefferson Drum and the short-lived sitcom Room For One More.
Yes, my mistake. I meant Temple Houston. Post corrected above.Jefferson Drum? That was a Goodson-Todman/Screen Gems production (Sony). I'd like to see Temple Houston be released, The Travels of Jamie McPheeters (MGM/Turner), The Rounders, same as TOJMcP, and those detective shows!
Two Faces West was produced by Screen Gems, so that would be with Sony.Surprising great news. Thanks for letting us know, Stan. I always liked Donald May in his other series and guest appearances, so that will be an added benefit. Don't know how much singing Dorothy Provine did in The Alaskans, but my guess is that would limit the chances of it being released. I hope I'm wrong, because then the doors might open for the other WB detective shows.
I've always been curious about Two Faces West, with Charles Bateman in a dual role. Not sure who owns the rights to it.
Colt .45 was never released on DVD. It was discussed as being in the works but never happened which makes the Blu Ray release a bigger surprise.Guys, forgive my poor memory but was Colt 45 released before on regular DVD? I can't remember. I do remember someone discussing Colt 45, and another black and white western that have never been released in any format? What was that one? The Alaskans? Really hope WB Archives gets to releasing previously unreleased HB series again. Along with Linda Evans in Hunter. Still missed seeing the ending to one episode that I missed when the series was originally broadcast.

An incredible surprise. Most of us would have been happy with a DVD of this so this is even better. Maybe there is still hope for the detective shows.
Hawaiian Eye! Hope it’s next!
