I was earlier referring to the THREE STOOGES sets that came out one by one with the restored shorts. Each one had a date range, like 1945-1947 or something like that. The one in the 1950s that had the short, SPOOKS!, had both a regular flat, or a 3D version. It was the anaglyph, two-color...

My THREE STOOGES DVD sets are the dated ones, and feature the 3D version of SPOOKS!

A little behind-the-scenes action from "Day Of The Dove"

We just finished watching THE TWILIGHT ZONE (1980s) from my DVD set. At least we knew that they were all there. What I saw on DECADES looked fairly awful, picture-quality-wise, but the DVDs, on a moderate sized TV looked pretty good most of the time - and yeah, they scream "80s". When we got to...

We've been watching one of those Public Domain DVD sets of TOPPER. I picked this one up years ago - it's only got four episodes, but its enough to whet the appetite for more and better from this old and funny series. Leo G. Carroll was the perfect foil for the antics of the three ghosts that...

One of the great sitcoms of all time was famous for its use of flashback episodes - THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW. These episodes usually centered around some story that Rob Petrie was telling of past times in his life, usually surrounding his time in the Army, meeting and marrying Laura, having their...

My favorite of all TIME TUNNEL episodes. It wasn't rerun during the summer rerun season on ABC, so I didn't get to see it a second time until a syndicated rerun a year later, and then not until the new millennium.

My biggest regret about THE GREEN HORNET was its scheduling on ABC. Because BATMAN had succeeded in its 7:30 slots on Wednesday and Thursday, ABC naturally slotted THE GREEN HORNET on Friday at 7:30, with the idea of keeping that line going. But what it did was force THE TIME TUNNEL to an 8 PM...

...and I'll add this silly Photoshopped shot from VOYAGE's "Time Lock", wherein guest John Crawford as "Alpha" ...tunes in to this TIME TUNNEL episode... Note the futuristic glass desk, and the computer console recycled from THE TIME TUNNEL, in addition to the plot!

Yesterday, I decided to put on an episode of THE FUGITIVE that had Ed Asner in it and I chose the fourth season's "Run The Man Down". This one had a bit of a "Who's Who" of classic character actors filling out the somewhat large cast. The guest stars in tonight's story: Georgann Johnson, Ed...

Fabulous TIME TUNNEL screen captures - and from one of my favorite episodes.

Because they've made so many of them, that the true Christmas season isn't big enough to run them all, and they've found viewers willing to watcg them whenever they run.

Here's a tip for VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA fans, particularly of the show's opening themes. There are many instances of the opening theme cutting off to avoid the announcer's "...brought to you by...". I don't know why they think a DVD purchaser would be offended by that, or maybe it's...

I have a similar "love/hate" relationship with LOST IN SPACE. My true-favorite Irwin Allen show has always been THE TIME TUNNEL, and since the show first aired, I'd always wanted to own the whole one-season series in the best way possible. In 2003 when the LOST IN SPACE DVDs were beginning to...

Some ANDY GRIFFITH weirdness. The series is running on its own Pluto TV channel and I popped in there this evening. They're running all seasons and tonight I caught a couple of the early color episodes. I noticed some weirdness in the sound, and figured out what it was. The main dialogue...

I agree that with the proper equipment and setup, VOYAGER can look quite acceptable from the current DVDs. Here's the same screencap from my DVD: It is an extreme close-up and there's a little bit of focusing issues in that shot. We've been doing a VOYAGER rewatch, and I'm constantly amazed...

Lisa Gaye in color on THE TIME TUNNEL:

To unstretch a YouTube video (like back to 4:3), feed the URL of the video into www.stretch.site There are hard-coded settings or sliders to fix it to your liking. It works great on home computer devices. I've never tried it on a phone.

We all have our own individual tastes, and very few minds are changed by words on the Internet. I may thing THE FUGITIVE is the best thing since sliced bread, and others may not care for it at all. And that's fine. I've never bowed to popular opinion in any form. And it is mostly true that...

Too bad. They are among the best television series ever. Certainly THE FUGITIVE.

I was merely curious about the LOST IN SPACE widescreen DVDs. Like you said, they were only $20, so they are sort of a companion to the Blu-ray set that I'd gotten earlier. I, too, do not feel that LOST IN SPACE looks right at the 16:9 ratio. It's too cramped-looking. On the other hand, I've...

Patte Finlay had a semi-regular role for a couple of seasons of THE BOB NEWHART SHOW playing Bob's sister.

I was lucky enough to grab the ZORRO series on DVD in original black & white in the "tin" series. - Both seasons.

THE FUGITIVE - "Nightmare at Northoak" This is one of the truly iconic episodes of the series. It came along fairly early in the first season, but it has all of the elements to make a truly great episode. First there's the cast. Frank Overton does his usual excellent job here as the sheriff of...

While watching ONE STEP BEYOND, I spotted a familiar-looking lady: At first I thought it was Anne Francis, but the close-up revealed no mole on her cheek. Then it finally hit me! Louise Fletcher, aka Kai Winn from DEEP SPACE NINE. She was quite the looker in 1960!

I don't recall any time compression on any of the MANNIX episodes in the individual season releases. Maybe point me to one so I can double-check?

This post got me to dig out my DVD set of THE IMMORTAL that I got from VEI a couple of years ago. A year or so ago, I finally persuaded the Mrs. to watch the pilot with me. She thought it OK, but predictable and I sensed no interest in continuing. So it's been on the shelf since then. On...

THE INVADERS - "The Betrayed". It's tonight's 5 AM showing on MeTV that I watched this afternoon on DVD. Ed Begley, Laura Devon, Nancy Wickwire and Norman Fell guest starred.

If that episode seems a bit familiar, it's because the script was totally re-used from a Season 1 episode called "Skid Marks On A Dry Run". In that one, a politician hires Intertect - and thus Joe Mannix - to find dirt on him, to see what an opponent might find.

This thread got me to pull out my MAN IN A SUITCASE DVD sets. "Burden Of Proof" is the last episode on the Volume 1 DVD set. Those Blu-ray captures look gorgeous, but I can't justify the price. It was actually fairly expensive a few years ago to add these DVD collections to my shelves, and...
