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

    Then give us Temple Houston starring Jeffrey Hunter and Jack Elam. Jack Webb sold it to NBC, and low ratings of this series cost him his job as executive producer as Bill Orr came back to helm the final five of 26 episodes!

    I've watched six episodes so far with 61 more to go. I also play Super Mario RPG on Nintendo Switch, and I could imagine Chris Colt offering to sell a pair of Colt.45s to Mario to aid in the battles all the way to Smithy. The plumber would be one dude you wouldn't want to mess with!

    Wouldn't mind seeing Cheyenne, Maverick, Sugarfoot, Bronco, and Lawman on BD. Maybe The Dakotas, Temple Houston, F Troop, and those of MGM-TV origin, The Travels of Jamie Mc Pheetres, A Man Called Shenandoah, and Hondo would all benefit from remastering on BD!

    Jefferson Drum? That was a Goodson-Todman/Screen Gems production (Sony). I'd like to see Temple Houston be released, The Travels of Jamie McPheeters (MGM/Turner), The Rounders, same as TOJMcP, and those detective shows!
