    Konstantinos, I respect your opinion and concerns, which in the recent past I have shared and has been a sometimes legitimate concern depending on the various studio or licensee HD releases under contention. We've all seen frustrating examples of DNR being applied too radically. Neal is well...

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    Wow, these are brilliant HD transfers! Nothing DNR'd to hell at all. The pristine film sources are fine grain to begin with, and fans should be thrilled with this result. IMO, and as others have already said. You have to see them for yourself.

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    My Amazon set arrived much sooner than I first thought! Surprising, as I'm in Canada, and we're usually the Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia of international shipping! As to Konstantino's concern over these new HD transfers being "DNR'd to Hell" (digital noise reduction, his judgement based on...

    Adjacent to Colt .45...good guy Will Hutchens (Sugarfoot), WB studio chief Jack Warner and good guy Clint Walker (Cheyenne), looking like they're enjoying each other's company on the WB lot...I imagine Wayde Preston was off flying his transport plane at the time, just the way he wanted it...some...

    Hey Bud, as the cinema aficionado that you are, thanks for going slumming here and lending your sunshine to our dreary proceedings in our classic/vintage TV ghetto. We obviously lack your incisive and artistic cinema intellect as we peasants appreciate these archaic boob-tube artifacts like the...

    I keep checking for pre-order availability for Colt .45 complete series, and will order at first opportunity, even if street date is delayed. We know it's coming. I already have all of the WAC DVD releases of their B+W Western TV series (Cheyenne, Maverick, Sugarfoot, Bronco, The Dakotas)...

    Thanks for the bulletin! Stunning news from WAC about Colt .45 on Blu on March 12! Just when you think that Warners has long since left their collective vintage TV holdings far behind to concentrate on feature films and cartoons/animation holdings on Blu, George and company surprise the hell out...
