ClassicFlix RARE TELEVISION Thread (1 Viewer)

[ClassicFlix]

With countless rare and almost never seen classic TV shows unavailable, we've started a new RARE TELEVISION line to focus exclusively on such properties (1940s - 1960s) and have several titles lined up for 2023.

Since many broader discussions regarding the line were showing up in different places, we've started this dedicated thread which will serve to centralize all things regarding our new line.

You're welcome and thanks for your continued support. Fans like you buying and talking up classic TV is what keeps new releases coming!

Other labels have completely abandoned all rare TV releases because the up front cost is exponentially greater than feature films, but we're committed to this line and hope to build a strong following.

So wish you could get Jeff's Collie --- great show just sitting there - also wish you could re-issue Sgt Preston sets that Critics Choice had put out

I should add, for those who are able, purchasing titles directly on our website makes a huge difference in terms of available capital for future releases because wide distribution costs money and purchases made directly on our site helps us avoid paying those distribution costs.

For all that can we appreciate it and you should also know that we usually ship out titles a week or two before street date and also are never out of stock for new titles, unlike third-party online retailers who will often under-order.

I try to always do that anyhow, but thanks for sharing the importance of buying direct from you folk.

 

[ScottRE]

This is awesome, thank you. And really, thank you for releasing these series.

 

[Dave Lawrence]

Thanks for starting this thread. While I will still continue to check out the other thread as well, I’m a TV guy first and movies second. So having this one dedicated to the new TV product line is perfect. Along with 21 Beacon Street, I look forward to seeing all the upcoming TV series announcements.

I may get that sometime in the future-- with just 11 B/W outings on NBC from July to Sept. 1959 (and all half-hours), it should be pretty easy to enjoy.

What Scott and Jerry said.

I will do whatever I can to support what ClassicFlix is doing.

No, PUBLIC DEFENDER was first released in single season sets in 2019 as part of our Silver Series line. Last year it was released on the Silver Series line in a complete series.

When we run out of the current stock of PUBLIC DEFENDER, we will likely re-package it and fold it into the RARE TELEVISION line, keeping our Silver Series only for rare features and shorts, not TV.

To better explain the label and keep up with all goings on at ClassicFlix you can check out our main ClassicFlix thread.

Since many broader discussions about our label regarding releases, sales and other topics show up on specific title threads, and can often get overlooked, we've started a thread dedicated to all things ClassicFlix. About ClassicFlix We know classics! We started as an online video rental...

How about Reed Hadley's earlier series, RACKET SQUAD, 98 episodes from 1951-53 syndicated, then CBS.

Best elements are owned by Paramount so it's not likely to happen...
