This is what I do too. If I do revisit individual episodes, then I don't feel it's a waste of money.

Same here. BTW, Jack Benny made a very funny guest appearance on Bachelor Father.

My first physical media purchase goes back to Super 8. It was the Buster Keaton short "Cops". As a kid, I discovered the family movie projector and starting playing our home movies. When I saw an advertisement in a magazine to buy films, I purchased "Cops" which was the only one I could...

It's funny that this thread turns up now as I just saw her recently in an episode of The Fugitive - from the final season (IN COLOR) - "The Blessings Of Liberty".

I wonder if the shorter-lived series on the list will be complete sets. I would consider getting Martial Law because I enjoy watching Sammo Hung, but I remember the 2nd season being pretty bad. Also, I remember liking Petrocelli, but I haven't seen it since it was on-the-air and would wonder...

Mark, watch for Laura's facial expressions when Vicky speaks French. Absolutely priceless! Speaking of facial expressions, I just finished the subplot where Maggie Evans escapes from the mausoleum after her memory returns of Barnabas' evil ways. The expression on Barnabas and Willie's faces when...

Thanks Mark - nice shot of Virginia Vestoff. I finished episode 540 -- these 1968 episodes are quite fast moving - they throw a lot at us. I didn't even remember the bit about Maggie and Josette's earrings, and I was amused by the BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN homage with the blind Sam Evans and Adam...

Ok, I found a rarity - some actual intentional humor in a Dark Shadows scene: It's episode 501 - where Adam escapes to Collinwood and surprises Carolyn and Elizabeth. He blurts out the word 'music' and Carolyn turns on the radio in hope of calming him down. The radio plays some really cheesy...

Paul, I think you're right about the storyline being a little "far out", because DS basically updated the classic gothic and horror stories that viewers knew and loved and this was unfamiliar territory for many of them. I also remember reading somewhere that the audience didn't like Frid going...

I watched HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS recently and generally enjoyed it, but have to agree with Brian's comments about the pacing being off. I wouldn't want to introduce someone to DS based on this movie because I think they'd be confused by the storyline as it is presented here, but the film was...

There's only 2 shorts that are duplicated in both sets, so they're both worth getting :) "Becoming Charley Chase" is a comprehensive set in so far as it traces his history starting with his years with Mack Sennett, shows his comic development with his 1 reel Jimmy Jump series, has a few of his...

These are the 6 titles that are not on either the Kino or All Day Entertainment's "Becoming Charley Chase" sets: BE YOUR AGE THE CARETAKER'S DAUGHTER CHARLEY MY BOY THE UNEASY THREE WHAT PRICE GOOFY MAMA BEHAVE I would have liked to seen the very funny TELL 'EM NOTHING included in this...

God's Little Acre will be airing on TCM November 22 @ 6:30 AM (ET).

Mark, I can answer this question! :) I'm still reading this thread from time to time, but I've just been very busy. Yes, I reported on last year's Fest and no, I'm not there this year. I figured there would be a nice tribute to Jonathan Frid. Thanks Bill and Charles for the reports!

Checking Olive's IMDB list, I would love to see them put out THE DEVIL AND MISS JONES (1941). I thought this was a very funny film.
