I was watching this one live in 1976. I said to myself: "I hope they do Rhiannon!"

I have the BBC Region 2 DVD version of this set. It's shot on videotape in the late 60's, so I doubt it will be a big improvement on Blu-ray. The episodes are good and follow the stories well. Peter Cushing is excellent as Holmes, playing it in an authentic manner the way Jeremy Brett later did...

I did enjoy the series and found it to be more intense over-all than the 1980 version. While it did sort of end with a whimper instead of a bang, this was also true of the 1980 version and the novel. One thing that I felt brought the series down a bit in the last few episodes was the...

The second episode of Old Man Out is in the iTunes digital version, which I believe is based on the Blu-ray versions.

I bought all the titles on the list (except Pretty Woman and Midnight Express) when they came out. I still watch them.

Wow, I really enjoyed this when it aired and was disappointed it wasn't renewed (too expensive, probably). This should look great in HD!

For me, it would need to be some of the large format epics. Heck, I'd pay $50 for just a decent Blu-ray of El Cid and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Ditto.

Wow, Robert, you've really been through the ringer. I'm glad you're hanging in there, and wish you success on your road to recovery.

About the only thing I send by mail these days is greeting cards. I frankly do not trust the USPS with anything else. In one of the facilities near Houston, there have been problems with people not getting their mail for months, Christmas packages still not received in March, etc.. I recently...

I walked out onto the roof of the building where I work. Nada. The clouds here in Houston are amazingly dense today. I didn't bother to stand out there for 20-30 minutes hoping for a tiny glimpse. It didn't get very dark here. With all the clouds it just looked like a storm was brewing.:thumbsdown:

Here in the Houston, TX area we were supposed to get 80-90%, but the weather here has eclipsed the eclipse. A weather lady on TV this morning joked that it is going to be a total eclipse in Houston because no one will be able to see it. Guess I'll save my eclipse glasses for the next one when...

I originally watched H & I (Heroes & Icons) via antenna. The Frndly TV app (not free) offers the channel. I watched pretty much all the episodes of Trackdown on H & I a few years ago and they looked great. However, no video release ever happened for that series.

I rarely go to BB. I did buy an Apple Watch there last year. I wanted to use an AMEX gift card. Amazon (or AMEX?) apparently no longer allows you to buy an Amazon gift card with an AMEX gift card (Amazon will not take two forms of payment, hence the gift card work-around), so I bought the watch...

I really enjoyed Human Target. Unfortunately, only season 1 was released on Blu-ray (AFAIK). The second season was not quite as good as the first, but it was still pretty good. It was another good Fox show that got moved around on the schedule (like Firefly) and was never shown at a set time...

RIP. Loved all his characters on SCTV.

I looked at pictures of your receiver and it indeed has only one HDMI out. Mine is a later model Denon (S960) and has two (although I only use the eARC one) Another thing to check: see if you can disable ARC in your Denon settings. I actually like ARC when I watch video using my TV as the...

I have watched 5 episodes. So far it is really good. I prefer it to the 1980 version because the dialog of the Japanese characters is included. It reminds me more of the cultural immersion of the book than the 1980 TV version did. Just for grins, I put on the Blu-ray of the 1980 version and...

I go to bed too early and get up to early to go on a western-watching spree, but I have enjoyed this thread. Several westerns I had previously overlooked will be added to my watch list. I just added two Kino Western Classics collections to my cart. Thanks, everyone for all the many mini-reviews!

A couple more Biblical movies I picked up from iTunes are made-for-TV films from the 1970's - The Story of Jacob & Joseph, and The Story of David. I'm not sure about the running time for Jesus of Nazareth. The first Blu-ray release was missing the part where Judas leaves the Last Supper and...

I ordered volume one of the Kirby Grant & Chinook series during the Movie Zyng Warner Archive sale. I've always been a sucker for movies that feature "wonder dogs". I also enjoyed the Kino Rin Tin Tin release.

I have had issues getting it to launch. I believe it was over the weekend that I could not see my library and was not logged in. I could not login on any of my devices (TV, Roku & iPhone). I was able to login the next day. I looked in on it yesterday and had to login all over again. This is a...

Interesting. Moonraker was one of my favorite of Fleming's novels. If they ever did a retro Bond, I always thought Moonraker would be a good literary source. It has a great villain, and there is a sequence like the golf game in Goldfinger in which Bond and Drax try to outcheat each other at...

My TV has several HDMI inputs, one of which is ARC (eARC). My Denon receiver has two HDMI outputs, one of which is for eARC. Since you are not using ARC, why don't you use the non-ARC output from your receiver and the non-ARC input on your TV?

I loved Casino Royale and thought the Craig era would be a breath of fresh air. That turned out the be the only Craig movie I really liked. As the series progressed, the plots seemed to be too feminized; everything after QOS involved bad guys whose motivation was hurt feelings over being...

As a tall person (6'5"), I gave up on shopping in stores decades ago. Some stores occasionally carried big and tall sizes, such as JCP. Most don't, so I was ordering clothes out of catalogs long before there was an internet. I miss the Eddie Bauer stores that carried tall sizes. I now order most...

I have that older A&E Blu-ray of The Prisoner as well, so I'm good. I actually feel that Danger Man has more re-watchability than The Prisoner. However, I think the A&E Danger Man DVD set in the slim cases is all I need.
