Have you tried getting Hart to Hart on DVD? It's out in full, whether you get it in the single seasonal releases from Sony and Shout! (Sony with the first two, Shout! with the last three), or get it in the all-in-one from Shout! (with redone keepcase versions of the original Sony releases).

He was almost there at the beginning-- 49 upon commencement in 1979, then turned 50 on Feb. 10, 1980; he was 54, I believe, when the series ended in 1984.

Nor did I!

A Patriots homer through and through-- shameful!

The one good thing about this is, even if Philly's next Super Bowl title doesn't happen for a long time, what counts is, they got their first-ever Lombardi, and that's saying something!

You and me both!

Another one of mine: Vega$ (1978-81 ABC detective/adventure series w/the late Robert Urich):

Also, after completing all of Wanted: Dead or Alive (from Mill Creek's special-edition all-in-one DVD of that 1958-61 CBS Western), I think I can only see the late, great Steve McQueen as Josh Randall, bounty hunter.

That the only really good series from the Miller-Boyett production family (Miller-Milkis inclusive) was on a network that they didn't usually make shows for, and of a type that they didn't usually make: the 1974-76 NBC legal series Petrocelli w/Barry Newman, Susan Howard and Albert Salmi.

Pulling a Super Bowl LI, I take it (Atlanta losing it to the Patriots after blowing that 25-point lead)?!

And I have all of that O-R 60s Trek on DVD (in the remastered version).

You'll probably disagree with me on this one, but this is one that I personally believe was a mistake on the part of CBS Sports regarding their broadcast music: In 1987, they introduced what has been the longest-running theme song for any of their broadcasts (their college football theme song, which has been used for 30 years, on their broadcast of Super Bowl XXI between Denver and the New York Giants, Jan. 25, 1987); it officially began to be used for college football starting with the 1987 season. Why do I think this was a mistake? Quite simple, really: it was used for not just the game broadcasts, but also the studio coverage (the studio show at that time was The Prudential College Football Report w/Jim Nantz [Jim in Studio 43 in New York], which I think was the best thing he ever did). Before, the game coverage song was taken from CBS' Jan. 22, 1984 broadcast of Super Bowl XVIII between Washington and L.A., and the studio show music (also used for College Football Report Update gamebreaks that Jim voiced-over) was taken from the theme song of The NCAA Today, a former studio show that was used for the 1982 and '83 seasons w/Brent Musburger as college football's companion to Brent's NFL Today show. I personally believe that the former way it was was much better than the way it is now, because it sounded a lot more subtle to me. Here's a montage I made of the billboards of The Prudential College Football Report, using the music for the 1985 and '86 seasons in the first two billboards, and the music of today for the 1987 through '89 ones (the 1989 one w/Greg Gumbel); the billboards are announced by famed CBS Sports announcer Don Robertson. What I'd like to know is, which one do you like better?

Yes, they do-- especially if you got them at that good a price!

And I will, for dang sure, every year the Patriots make it!

Mine too! This is one thing I'll very likely be watching instead of LII:

You and me both! Any 80s Super Bowl would be so dadgum much more entertaining than this upcoming LII!

Glad you said that, because for the longest time, I was under the impression that if a reviewer said to avoid a certain film, you had no liberty to disagree (and also, I wondered, why were certain films even made in the first place, if certain reviewers were going to say to avoid them, full-stop?). That is why I was afraid at first to see Joey King's latest film Wish Upon: because the majority of the reviewers slammed it down flat and said that you weren't even supposed to see it to see if you liked it (IOW, if they hated it, you were supposed to hate it too; ipso facto QED). Well, I got it on a flash drive through my nephew, saw it, and thought it was reasonably entertaining, for a film w/the same runtime as Sunday Morning has every week on CBS w/Jane Pauley.

Yes-- either way (all seasonal releases individually, or the all-in-one [my name for all of a series in one release]); have clarified up top.

M Squad and O-R NBC 60s Star Trek

Couple more of mine: Barney Miller and The Bob Newhart Show.

Just was wondering: which series do you have all of on DVD (whether through all the individual seasonal releases, or the all-in-one [all of it in one release])? Here are a couple of mine: Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958-61 CBS B/W Western w/the great, late Steve McQueen), and Petrocelli (1974-76 NBC legal series w/Barry Newman, Susan Howard and the late Albert Salmi).

I feel the same way about Bob Newhart, in that the only one of his characters I've ever really liked was Dr. Bob Hartley, Chicago psychologist.

Legendary ABC college gridiron PBP man Keith Jackson passed on Friday at 89 (what he passed on from is undetermined, though; no obituaries say as yet). He was known for saying "Whoa, Nellie!!" and "Hold the phone!", and also "FUM-BLE!" His voice was college football Saturdays on ABC for more than 50 years. Here's an obit from SI: https://www.si.com/college-football/2018/01/13/college-football-announcer-keith-jackson-dies Also, to commemorate him, here is a shot of him from a YouTube clip of ABC's coverage of the 1981 World Series between the L.A. Dodgers and New York Yankees (first game was at Yankee Stadium in NYC):
