    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Ben, I don't know why ViaVision wouldn't have replicated the CBS/P episode guide on their paper insert, considering that ViaVision's licensed sets are the very same video files, menus, bonus features (commentary by Andrew J. Klyde and episode intro and outro by Mitch Vogel) and in the case of...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    After viewing several episodes of my recently arrived Bonanza season 10 set, the all-in-one ViaVision region-free set (though like several other ViaVision sets, it's marked 'region 4' on the box), and spot-checking all the other episodes in that set (which look absolutely stunning! And season 10...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    After much torturous thought and crunching of number$ (oh, the trauma of it all), I've finally decided to complete my Bonanza series by incrementally buying seasons' 10 to 14, and the remastered season 2...already having seasons' 1 to 9 in the original CBS/P DVD sets, I decided it would be far...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Great to hear, Glenn! My Colonel March of Scotland Yard set shipped from Amazon Canada today, and I should have it tomorrow! I too have the Alpha DVD-R releases, but have never seen all the episodes, so it will be great to have the complete series! I agree, Film Chest is a great little company...

    Chartroose Caboose-1960 Universal Film Lost?

    For such a relatively obscure movie, there's a surprising amount of associated promotional material online, though sadly not the movie itself (of which only a faded color video dupe in 1.33 is out there someplace, but I couldn't find it), and I myself don't remember ever seeing The Chartroose...

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Press Release: The Alaskans: The Complete Series (1959-1960) (Blu-ray)

    Wow! Great news, and so soon, coming June 18! I only have 6 episodes of the Alaskans in barely viewable PQ. It's a very enjoyable show, with sizable comedic, often witty, emphasis like Maverick and Sugarfoot. Lots of soundstage potato flake blizzards and backdrop glaciation. The leads and cast...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Price already reduced to $17.92 on Amazon! I messaged Film Chest on FB, and their rep told me that they're very excited abut their new DVD release of Colonel March of Scotland Yard...they said that these episodes are 'restored', but no elaboration on if they are from previously un-accessed film...

    Barbara Rush R.I.P 97

    Very sad to hear this, but 97 is a grand old age. What a delicate and ultra-feminine beauty Barbara Rush was, and a fine actress! The first I heard of her passing was seeing author David J. Schow's post on FB yesterday (The Outer Limits Companion, The Outer Limits at 50)...I took this...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    Yes, great stuff on VTTBOTS last episode, Scott! I was 8 years old in the fall of 1964, and had been watching the promos and ads all of that preceding summer, eager for it's premiere and hoping that (here in Canada) they wouldn't program it opposite Hockey Night in Canada, MLB or CFL/NFL...

    Ron Harper (Planet of the Apes TV, Land of the Lost) passed away.
