I was interested in buying this series recently, but it"s either unavailable or ridiculously expensive, especially considering the mediocre quality of the prints (I've seen some episodes on YT that I assume have been uploaded from the DVD). I'd still like to own the show, but only for a much...
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (another charming, rarely seen fave) was actually on Laff, not Antenna TV. Anyway, I wish that Warner Archive or some other streaming platform would run all of PDEtD.
Season 1 episodes are in color. Only the pilot was in b&w. As for why the series was never released on DVD by WA, I remember hearing something about music rights issues. I'm still hoping against hope that those issues can eventually be resolved and we get some kind of release by the show's 60th...
I'd like to see Batman, Green Hornet, Please Don't eat the Daisies, Ghost & Mrs. Muir, He & She and The Practice (with Danny Thomas). I'd like more of Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, Maude and Ironside.
According to someone on the Encore Westerns facebook page, Wagon Train will start airing on that channel on New Year's Day. I've never seen the show before, and, as a fan of vintage TV westerns, I'm looking forward to watching it.
"The Associates" (ABC, 1979) with Wilfred Hyde-White, Martin Short, Alley Mills and Shelley Smith; "All is Forgiven" (NBC, 1986) with Bess Armstrong, Terrance Knox and Carol Kane; and "Getting Together" ("Partridge Family" spinoff, ABC, 1971) with Bobby Sherman, Wes Stern and Pat Carroll.
I just did some research and yes, "Requiem..." has aired on Encore. It's the episode where the Virginian has several hours to prove that Stacey didn't kill a doctor or else he'll be hanged. I believe that Cloris Leachman played the saloon girl.
"Requiem..." and "Doctor Pat" are two separate episodes. As was stated earlier, "Requiem..." did originally air on 1/25/67. "Doctor Pat" first aired more than a month later on 3/1/67.
I don't understand why NBC cancelled TMFS in '71. It was winning its time slot and was in 18th place overall for the season. I remember how demo-conscious the networks were becoming at the time. Did the show skew too old? Or was it just becoming too expensive? Anyway, I hope Encore does air...
I, too, am disappointed that "The Men from Shiloh" is not a part of the Encore package. Looks like the second cycle will start around the middle of November, then. BTW, I've never seen TMFS, but I understand that there was a bit of a format change. Can anyone explain how the series differed from...
It also never made sense that Mooney would keep firing, then rehiring Lucy after all of her foul-ups. At least on "Here's Lucy", viewers can understand that the reason Harry keeps her on is because she's his brother's widow and is supporting his niece and nephew. But why does Mooney put up with...
