    Sometring Odd for End Credits of Dennis The Menace S2.

    Do you realize that Jay North was abused on the set of DTM by his stepmother Marie Hopper, who was married to Hal Hopper? He acted, sang, and wrote TV themes, namely for Colt.45 in another thread!

    The sponsor billboard for Beech-Nut gum came after the end credits, a PSA, and the WB shield fanfare w/in-text credit and announcement, "THIS HAS BEEN AN ABC TELEVISION NETWORK PRESENTATION". You can find it on YouTube.

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    Also, some single season series like Wendy and Me, No Time for Sergeants, and Mister Roberts, the last one in color could be considered for BD!

    Wikipedia has Robert Ozell Moseley as Guy Madison's real name. William F. Broidy was an entire different person! Broidy died in 1959, Madison died in 1996!

    Wild Bill Hickok was with William F. Broidy, then sold to Columbia/Screen Gems in 1958, so that would be with Sony. Ramar Of the Jungle was a TPA/ITC property.

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    Then give us Temple Houston starring Jeffrey Hunter and Jack Elam. Jack Webb sold it to NBC, and low ratings of this series cost him his job as executive producer as Bill Orr came back to helm the final five of 26 episodes! The show ran the gamut from straight legal drama to comedy ala Maverick.

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    It was never renewed for a fourth season by ABC, Chris Colt's guns and holster were gathering dust in an office scene of a Maverick episode "Hadley's Hunters".

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    Let me see, season two had just 13 episodes due to Wayde Preston having labor issues with Warners, but about the same time, ABC brought back Tombstone Territory from Ziv for a 13-episode run, too! Colt.45 was renewed for a third and final season, Tombstone Territory wasn't renewed, but went into...

    Universal could be targeting M Squad, starring Lee Marvin, the complete series on Blu-ray, for they could do new 4K scans of the 35 OCNs for that!

    BTW, Bert Shefter wrote the original theme tune in season one, and the Hopper/Heyes composition replaced it midway through season one for the end credits.

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    May I suggest Tallahassee 7000 starring Walter Matthau, before he became very famous on the silver screen. Filmed entirely in Florida, only 26 episodes by Lenwil productions/Screen Gems, so it appears to be Sony on this one. I have a crappy looking dozen episodes in a gray market DVD set of a...

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    I've watched six episodes so far with 61 more to go. I also play Super Mario RPG on Nintendo Switch, and I could imagine Chris Colt offering to sell a pair of Colt.45s to Mario to aid in the battles all the way to Smithy. The plumber would be one dude you wouldn't want to mess with!

    WAGON TRAIN -- the 4th Season

    That must have been the Earl Packer Story with Ernest Borgnine, where I believe both Chris and the Major were mentioned in the same episode!

    Would anybody guess how much it would cost for a complete 77 Sunset Strip series, 206 episodes on Blu-ray for $189.95 would be my guess if it ever happens!

    Colt .45 - The Complete Series - Coming to Blu-Ray on March 12th '24 (Warner Archive)

    Wouldn't mind seeing Cheyenne, Maverick, Sugarfoot, Bronco, and Lawman on BD. Maybe The Dakotas, Temple Houston, F Troop, and those of MGM-TV origin, The Travels of Jamie Mc Pheetres, A Man Called Shenandoah, and Hondo would all benefit from remastering on BD!
