BruceH Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 Someone needs a My Three Sons box? I wouldn't watch another episode of that if I was paid to! Enough old tv boxes already. What they need to do is make more good tv shows NOW. Good luck. Every time a really good show comes on TV these days, it gets cancelled before it can build an audience. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 TIME TUNNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope someone out there is as excited as I am about this!!! Don't know how I missed hearing that it was coming out, either.They are corny as hell, and the special effects range from terrible to really good(That shot of the many levels of the underground facility!!! ) but they are still a lot of fun, IMHO....fairly recently, they ran them on the "action" channel, whichever one that is...but it sounds like they have been restored... [ Oh, yeah; my childhood in a half hour series!! I loved it! I'm just not sure if I want to see them again, or just leave my memory untarnished... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 show occasionally when it was syndicated for reruns in the 1970s... I much preferred Frawley. William Demarest creeped me out (as your photo serves to remind me!). Yeah, he seemed like the prototypical child molester to me... Quote

I was obsessed with this show as only a 5-year-old can be. No way it could live up to the memory. Quote
billyboy Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 I loved the theme to Night Stalker. Just hearing it in my head used to give me goosebumps. Night Stalker is on DVD, and I also loved the theme, written by Gil Melle! Quote

BERIGAN Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 On sale for $29.99 right now at Amazon.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ATQYW...&v=glance&n=130 Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 Thanks much, Berigan... I might have to pick up the double-movie DVD as well. Quote
Kalo Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 Oh, okay.. ........anyway, back to Uncle Charley for a minute....I only plugged into the show after 1967 and never realized that William Demarest wasn't there from the get-go, and had in fact replaced the ailing William Frawley ('I Love Lucy')...... Bill Demarest was kind of creepy on this show. I never truly appreciated him until I saw his work in all those great Preston Sturges films from the early '40s. That's the real Demarest as far as I'm concerned. (I once read that Fred Macmurray filmed all his scenes for each season of My Three Sons in about a week. Then the rest of the actors labored for months filling in the gaps. Anyone else ever hear this?) Quote

That's the real Demarest as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't agree more. Thanks to Sturges, I began to think of Demarest as (within an admittedly narrow range) one of the great character actors of classic Hollywood. Quote

Brad Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 Any answer to the question where you can get a free zone DVD player in this country? I'd like to get one also. I don't want to monkey around with my player. I know I'll screw it up. Quote

I don't want to monkey around with my player. I know I'll screw it up. I've had one in my computer for 3 years. Didn't even have to order it that way. Quote

Brad Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 For some reason, the computer will play Region 0 but the DVD player won't. I don't get it. Quote

The release was mentioned in this Ascenseur thread The French version (without the Miles Davis improvisation footage and the Giddins-Faddis discussion) has been released. Spectacular work on the film video. The film has nicely aged. Jeanne Moreau is splendid! Urtreger comes out excellent as usual in his interview part! Quote

BERIGAN Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 I have a feeling some of the old farts here will be glad to see this is coming out Feb 21st as well! Quote

BERIGAN Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 Bob Newhart Show, The - The Complete 3rd Season, out 4/11/2006 according to http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/ Quote
ejp626 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 Bob Newhart Show, The - The Complete 3rd Season, out 4/11/2006 according to http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/ I've barely watched any of Season 1 and 2. It's good news, but I think I'll hold off until I've caught up with past purchases. Maybe I missed it in the thread but Looney Tunes vol. 3 came out and is excellent. There's a DVD of all the Hollywood parodies, including The House that Jack Built (Jack Benny) and The Honeymousers. Quote
