The thing about "Battle" is that with the added scene establishing the ancestor of the Mendez ruler from Beneath and where the Alpha-Omega bomb came from, you get the sense that history is about to go in a never-ending loop of Earth blows up, Cornelius-Zira go back in time to restart process...

UCLA has put up a restored color videotape of the October 8, 1958 broadcast of Kraft Music Hall, which is now the oldest extant color video tape recording of an entertainment program (topping "An Evening With Fred Astaire" by nine days). The recording also captures the final minute of the Bill...

I've always been bothered by the whole element of Roy abandoning his family especially because it was an outside event that basically made him act this way that drove his family away. That doesn't exactly make the aliens look good either, and I have to agree with the points made by Scott...

Yes Via Vision did release the Tara King set last year. And its wonderfully region-free thankfully like many of their other releases. It also had all surviving Ian Hendry episodes in the bonuses.

That is literally the only remaining western series I had a shred of interest in seeing make it. So I will be getting that.

Don't forget the word-word-for word replay of the destruct sequence from "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield."

She disdainfully spoke about the experience on a Later With Bob Costas appearance once. She couldn't even remember Robert Lansing's name, referring to him as "another guy" she would have had to do the show with. Frankly, I always thought "The Omega Glory" got too much of a bum rap by...

"All Our Yesterdays" which was the next to last episode was something of a budget-saver in that it's the only episode in the entire run of the show not to have any scenes aboard the Enterprise and Scotty is only heard in a voiceover. The earlier draft of the script had them beaming up and the...

"Assignment Earth" I felt was a weak-tea premise for a show. I've always found it amusing to see all the concerns of "don't violate the Prime Directive" applied to Kirk, but when you get right down to it, whoever Gary Seven works for is the ultimate violator of a "Prime Directive" there is...

Sterling hosted a talk show on WMCA Radio from 1972-1978 and also did Yankee pregame shows for a time when they were on WMCA. During the 1976 and 1977 postseasons he and Mel Allen co-hosted pre and postgame shows including these memorable shows after Game 5 of the 1976 ALCS and Game 6 of the...

There's also the fact that the audio in a number of Season 1 episodes on the Blu-Ray has some problems where the sound effects and music are drowning out the dialogue as if the music/FX track has somehow "doubled up" over the regular audio. The audio at times (Particularly the construction site...

The critics kept missing the point with Lange's performance. They thought she really was a dumb blonde, when she was giving a great performance as a Monroe type character.

Its always been easier for me to take seeing SImpson again in a dramatic role (Towering Inferno, Capricorn One) and I can certainly handle watching an old NFL game with him. But the Naked Gun stuff has been unseen by me since 1994 and I can never look at them again because when its a comedy...

The film failed to be a "Jaws" type blockbuster but it was a success, grossing $90 million overall so those who would call it a flop are rewriting history (yet that stigma seemed to follow it for quite a few years).

Storage wise I just made sure to get a standards 4 disc ultra HD case at the same time so the two discs from this and the two discs from the Shout! release go into the same case with the proper Shout! poster art inside an Ultra HD case. The steelbook was a waste and is getting tossed by me...
