I was watching this one live in 1976. I said to myself: "I hope they do Rhiannon!"

I have the BBC Region 2 DVD version of this set. It's shot on videotape in the late 60's, so I doubt it will be a big improvement on Blu-ray. The episodes are good and follow the stories well. Peter Cushing is excellent as Holmes, playing it in an authentic manner the way Jeremy Brett later did...

I did enjoy the series and found it to be more intense over-all than the 1980 version. While it did sort of end with a whimper instead of a bang, this was also true of the 1980 version and the novel. One thing that I felt brought the series down a bit in the last few episodes was the...

The second episode of Old Man Out is in the iTunes digital version, which I believe is based on the Blu-ray versions.

I bought all the titles on the list (except Pretty Woman and Midnight Express) when they came out. I still watch them.

Wow, I really enjoyed this when it aired and was disappointed it wasn't renewed (too expensive, probably). This should look great in HD!

It didn't get very dark here. With all the clouds it just looked like a storm was brewing.:thumbsdown:

Here in the Houston, TX area we were supposed to get 80-90%, but the weather here has eclipsed the eclipse. A weather lady on TV this morning joked that it is going to be a total eclipse in Houston because no one will be able to see it. Guess I'll save my eclipse glasses for the next one when...
