B-ROLL, I hope you’re right, but still it wouldn’t surprise me to see these eventually get time sped. It’s all about making money and Me-TV+ isn’t here as much to entertain us, as it’s real goal is to make money with commercial sales. John

Hi all, While this news is potentially exciting, I’m sure ME TV will time compress these cartoons like their other programs, making Bugs Bunny sound more like Alvin. John

Hi all, Call me picky, but I think Elizabeth Montgomery lost some of her natural beauty when, later in life, she had her upper teeth capped. For me she was far more appealing with her natural smile. John

Hi all, Not only is the Kraft Music Hall Show with Milton Berle, from 1958 a treat, seeing a color videotape clip of the Price Is Right with Bill Cullen is well…priceless.😉 John

James Garner Birthday Memorial April 7, 1929 – July 19, 2014 James Garner was born James Scott Bumgarner on April 7, 1928 in Denver, Oklahoma to Weldon Warren Bumgarner and Mildred Scott who died five years after his birth. His older brothers were Jack Garner, also an actor, and Charles Warren...

Bob, I hope you realize that my observations are just that, not criticisms. With that being said, those title cards look fantastic coming from analog film…almost too good to be true. As for the sweetened laugh track, I realize thats the way it was done in 1953 it just seemed more noticeable...

Hi all, Received my Abbott and Costello Show, season 2 Blu Ray set yesterday and watched “The Paper Hangers.” Pristine picture quality was noted in this episode and others I just briefly scanned. The commentaries were also informative. I did notice however that the opening and closing credits...

Neal, Great Sunday night memories. Lassie at 7, Ed Sullivan at 8. This series really needs a high definition restoration from 35mm masters. The current prints from 35mm standard definition prints, don’t do this show justice. Also, the beautiful episodic music from this show, which currently...

Hi all, Tony Dow and his wife Lauren, took Hugh out for his 70th birthday in 1980. John

Hi all, So nice to see a preserved 2 in. color videotape from 1961. Thankfully Dinah Shore had the insight to save many of her videotaped shows, otherwise NBC would have wiped it to use again and we would have been left with an inferior b/w kinescope of this show. John

“Tennessee” Ernie Ford February 13, 1919- October 17, 1991 Most young people today would have no idea who Tennessee Ernie Ford was or what he did. It is kind of amazing that so many of the stars of yesteryear are nearly forgotten within a generation or two. In his heyday, Ernie Ford was the...

Hi all, Joseph Kearns was the perfect foil for Dennis Mitchell’s antics. IMHO he looked older than his stated age at death of 55 years. I wonder if he adjusted his birth year as many actors of his era did. John

Hi all, I guess it comes down to whether or not the celebrities themselves, wanted ownership of their videotaped shows. I’ve seen shows videotaped in color from the late 50’s early 60’s that look spectacular. Some of which include… Dinah Shore, Milton Berle, Ernie Ford and Red Skelton. These...
