Good stuff, Dan! I'm just a bit behind you, having recently finished up Disc 3 of S1. Really enjoying the show, taking it slow and savoring it. Here's what I wrote about the last four episodes on Disc 3 in the "What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD (or Blu)?" thread:
Colt .45
1.16...
I received my Colt .45 Blu-Ray set today, and have hoovered through the first disc (first 6 episodes). Am very pleased with both the quality of the show (a solid lead actor and a good variety of storylines) and with the pristine video quality of the transfers. I concur wholeheartedly with...
Linda Lawson alert!!
Looks like this is one of the episodes featuring Donald May in the lead as Sam Colt, after Wayde Preston had walked off the set.
Thanks for the screengrabs, Neal!
According to Asendia international tracking, my copy of Colt .45 was dispatched from the U.S. late Wednesday evening (3/13)...which means I'll probably receive it here sometime early next week (he said hopefully. :))

I certainly hope things turn out that way. I know I'll be picking this one up right away. But it is a bit of a gamble on...
I guess this confirms what many of us have suspected for some time now, that Warner Archive is well and truly out of the DVD business and is now solely focused on Blu-Ray. While it makes sense to release Colt .45 on Blu since WAC had to prepare newly restored transfers, in years past, they would...
Yes, my mistake. I meant Temple Houston. Post corrected above.

From the '70s, I'd love to see Banyon with Robert Forster and Kodiak with big Clint Walker released...
Woo-HOO! What incredible news - thanks for sharing, Stan! I thought all hope was lost for this series, and never in million years would have expected a complete series Blu-Ray release! Day one purchase for me.
I had asked about Colt .45's chances and on one of the very last episodes of the...
