Special mention must go out to the Coronado 9 pilot linked above (the resulting series, though very enjoyable in its own right, deviates from this pilot in its general set-up). "The Widow of Kill Cove" is a fantastic and tough slice of noir with a small but strong cast. Highest recommendations...

Here's an ITC rarity. Peter Pan, produced at ATV Elstree Studios and first airing in the U.K. on ITV Feb. 29, 1976, then in the U.S. on Dec. 12 later the same year. With music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, and starring Mia Farrow as Peter Pan and Danny Kaye as Mr...

Yes, thanks for these Hawk episodes, Neal! Been wanting to check this show out for a while now.

Thanks for the DVD info on The Littlest Hobo, Neal! And congrats on hitting 4,000+ posts!

Mmmm...Joan Freeman! Thanks for the lnk, Neal! Although I must say, I'm a little alarmed at the production's treatment of that poor dog in the opening credits - tossing him down ski slopes, off boats, and even out of an airplane! Can't have been all fun and games for that beautiful pooch...

Never heard of this one. Cool find, Neal! Always have had a liking for George Peppard as an actor. Interesting to see this middle period role between Banacek and Hannibal on The A-Team. Looks like Doctors Hospital (what a dull, generic name for a TV series that is!) only ran for 16 episodes...

Here you are, James. Seems like a cute show (co-starring a young Ahna Capri), though the video quality of this sole episode is in pretty rough shape:

The Peckinpah episodes are among my favorites in the whole series.

I like Connors, too, but your Mom's not wrong...there's something of the crazy about him. Johnny Crawford told some pretty funny and wild stories about him; Larry Cohen, too. I imagine he could be pretty damn intimidating.

It's rare for me to recycle reviews, but to join in Neal's Jack Webb fun, I'll echo Russ and offer some brief capsule reviews of the '60s color version of Dragnet, the first two from 2020 and the last one from August last year: Dragnet 1967 2.1 “The Grenade” 2.2 “The Shooting Board” A couple of...

Well, she kind of is for me, Stephen. ;) (Actually, I don't mind her too much in McCloud. It helps that she isn't in every episode).

Thanks, Neal! There is some definite Farrah babe-itude going on there in that Charlie's Angels pilot...but it's offset by the dreaded Diana Muldaur Index. ;)

Harry-O is great, and yes, it's much more similar to The Rockford Files. David Janssen is wonderfully hangdog and grumpy in the show. I just watched an episode last night (1.15 "For the Love of Money") which featured a very knowing, witty script and babes galore, with Farrah Fawcett's...

This. Very much this. I'm of a similar age to you and Scott, back when local affiliates would run classic TV shows and movies constantly. It was a great time to be watching TV. I was exposed to so many cool things, and sampled pretty much everything. Sea-Tac local channels KSTW-11, and, in my...

After many years working in Hollywood, the terrific character actor Michael Pate returned to his native Australia and starred in the small town police drama Matlock Police, which ran for 5 seasons from 1971 - 1976. More detail on the series here. (And no, Andy Griffith did not make any guest...

Here's a very rare ITC series, never released on DVD... Seaway was a joint CBC and ATV production (distributed internationally by ITC), which aired 30 episodes in the 1965-1966 Canadian TV season. While technically a Canadian series, many of the show's writers and directors were American. The...

You've been so busy finding shows online and posting them here, Neal, that I didn't think you had time to actually watch anything! ;) That's a great slate of shows you've got lined up for today right there. Enjoy!

Actually, Sapphire & Steel (great show!) wasn't a BBC production, but was produced by ATV for the ITV network. The DVDs retain the ad break bumpers, which is what I think you're referring to when you say "15 minute portions" (for example, a title card reading "End of Part One," then fade to...

Great run of UK sci-fi telly you posted above, Neal! Thanks for taking the time to put that together. Just thought I'd throw up this link to the first episode of The Prisoner, "Arrival," which is an excellent beginning to this mind-bending cult classic. The series is available on Blu-Ray in...

Hey now...don't you go dissing The Immortal there, Neal! ;) At the very least, that pilot telefilm is pretty terrific. (Actually, I highly enjoyed all of those episodes that you linked above...well, maybe not "The Legacy.")

Time for some UK sci-fi TV: Timeslip (1970-1971, 26 episodes) The series is centred on two children, Simon Randall (Spencer Banks) and Liz Skinner (Cheryl Burfield) who discover the existence of a strange anomaly, known as the Time Barrier, which enables them to travel in time and visit the...

Speaking of Chick Chandler...he makes for a great, stalwart co-star alongside a pre-Lawman John Russell in the very fun Revue adventure series, Soldiers of Fortune (1955-1957). *Please note: most of the YouTube links below are absent the title sequence, and are mislabeled re: episode titles*...

Happy New Year, Marv! Enjoy your vacation!

Damn, that's a heck of a lot of Christmas episodes, Neal! Thank you for your hard work, sir!

Definitely one of the weirder plot synopses that I've read in a while... :wacko: It probably makes more sense in the context of the episode. Thanks Neal (and Marv) for all the fun stuff you guys keep posting in this thread!

Thanks very much for this rare find, Neal! I've been interested in this series since watching Maxwell Reed as an arrogant, abusive boxer that Hoss finally lays a smack down on in the terrific S2 Bonanza episode "The Duke" earlier this year.

Remember this series fondly, Marv! Both this and Tales of the Gold Monkey aired the year after Raiders of the Lost Ark came out. Good old-fashioned period adventure romps were briefly in vogue. Hopefully this series will someday see the light of day on DVD.

The Good Life (a.k.a Good Neighbors in the U.S.), was a British sitcom, produced by BBC television, created and written by Bob Larbey and John Esmonde. It ran from 1975-1978 for 30 episodes (including a Christmas special). Opening with the midlife crisis of Tom Good, a 40-year-old plastics...

Yes, these recent Blu-Ray editions Network has beens putting out aren't cheap. But since they are footing the bill for the restorations, etc., I guess you can't blame them for trying to defray the costs somewhat. At least they are still releasing classic TV shows!! Many of their early releases...

Good stuff, Neal! Marv and I will make a U.K. telly convert out of you yet...
