I also wonder about some “lost” shows like [...] Hey Landlord?

I vaguely remember watching Hey, Landlord when I was a kid. Last June I happened upon a blog post about this show and in the post is embedded an episode of the series, so, of course, I watched it. Yikes. The premise of this particular episode is the two leads trying to secure tickets for an upcoming football game, so you might want to add it to your Super Bowl activities this weekend.

A Forgotten Multi-Camera Garry Marshall Sitcom: HEY, LANDLORD!

Welcome to another Wildcard Wednesday! As The Odd Couple (1970-1975, ABC) will likely be the only Garry Marshall sitcom that we’ll cover on Sitcom Tuesdays, I want to take this post to featur…

Life With Father 1953-55 CBS. Great show, well received.

Would be all in for Life With Father. A very good show.


Gary “the series had a couple of Christmas episodes too, so I’d love to see it released” O.

Yes, PD shows, even if not complete, would potentially be on the list, however, we're overloaded with content right now and won't be looking at acquiring anything new until later this year/early next.

Looking forward to that upcoming content!

Hey Landlord was a witty sixties style show that lasted for a single season. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out why these one season wonders didn’t catch on. Classic Flix has given us a number of them like Blondie, O’Henry Playhouse, World Of Giants and soon Angel.
Every one of those have been entertaining!

I don't think I've ever heard a Garry Marshall show described as witty.

Dried salt for snow and glaciers in Fairbanks: The terrible early television shows set in Alaska

Histories of Alaska: Early Alaska-themed TV shows like “The Alaskans,” “Klondike,” and “Kodiak” were little-loved, short-lived and reflected a limited understanding of Alaska. But that wasn’t really the point.

Interesting article about several short lived TV shows.

Just ordered Abbott & Costello - Season 2 as well as Our Town.

Looking forward to both.

Alaska TV shows don't seem to last long, like that article says. The recent one, Alaska Daily, I thought was really good and deserved another season.

Really got to hand it to Classic Flix, placed an order yesterday (12th) and less than 24 hrs later I received a shipping notice.

Excellent customer service. Thanks to all involved with this fine company. It's great to feel valued.

Thanks so much. You guys are great.

Good morning David.

I recently found three episodes of Bold Venture (1959) on YouTube. It stars Dane Clark and Joan Marshall and I really enjoyed it. It was produced by Ziv Television.

Any chance of ClassicFlix bringing this 45 episode series to physical media?

Unfortunately not as it's owned by MGM.

39 episodes.

I watched a few Kodiaks at UCLA and its not that bad. True, Walker was a wooden actor, but its just another in the long line of Highway Patrol clones, except with better scenery. The Alaskans is unintentionally funny, with actors sweating in their heavy coats in warm Southern California. Likely we'll never get a chance to see it, as Dorothy Provine is belting out tunes in all of the episodes.

David , are you familiar with a hour long 1961 NBC Civil War series called the Americans? It was a mid season replacement for the cancelled Riverboat series, and starred Darryl Hickman and Dick Davalos , and many great guest stars. The two leads played brothers who lived in a border state and fought on opposite sides in the War Between The States. I remember it being a solid show. 17 episodes aired, but supposedly more were filmed.
Wikepedia has an informative article about the show.
Is this something you might be interested in?

Witty in the way, Sandy Baron, Will Hutchins delivered their lines in a hip mid sixties style.

Incidentally, this show may be PD , and episodes may be on file at the Library Of Congress since it’s a historical show.

Good show, probably my favorite Marshall show.

Do you guys really think that was a good show? Where have you all seen it since then? Are you just remembering it fondly, perhaps, because there were times I thought I'd love to see it again and see what it was like now. I recall watching it Sunday nights.

I wrote this in February on this thread:

I watched that episode and it was terrible and I'm usually a pretty forgiving person when it comes to these things. The guy who posted it along with his observations had seen a number of these somewhere and was not too complimentary about the series, either. So I had to ask if your thoughts are based on memories of watching it back then or you've had other access to it recently.
