I guess the next big TV on DVD news is that the entire run of Thriller is going to be released - sometime next year, I'm guessing. I saw a few episodes of Thriller in syndication as a kid and while at the time it didn't click with me, given its reputation I'm really looking forward to giving it a fresh look.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-66742170940292364562009-11-20T14:58:07.325-08:002009-11-20T14:58:07.325-08:00Somehow this series wasn't on my radar... but ...Somehow this series wasn't on my radar... but it sounds cool and I'd like to see it.<br />The DVD set I've got a LOT of anticipation for is for the William Castle/Richard Matheson show Ghost Story/Circle of Fear (name changed between season 1&2).<br /><br />It was on in the 70s and later reruns... the few I've seen have haunted me since I was a kid.<br /><br />Apparently a few episodes made it onto the recent William Castle box set and fans of the show are expecting that might signal someone is remastering them for an upcoming set of their own.Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-74390388591871136622009-11-20T11:10:00.515-08:002009-11-20T11:10:00.515-08:00Yes Senski, that was my first exposure to NG.

Maybe I caught it briefly when it ran on Sci Fi, but I can't recall for sure.<br /><br />Either way, with an opening like that and the pearly whites of Coburn, I would love to check out Darkroom if it were to ever make it out on DVD!Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-10520925024586892582009-11-20T10:28:57.365-08:002009-11-20T10:28:57.365-08:00Unk - thanks for the great news!

I did worry that I'd be setting people up for disappointment but hey, at least I added a question mark! <br /><br />Sadly, I never really expect Darkroom to make onto DVD - or whatever other formats may come along - but as you say, stranger things have happened. I think one reason why I really loved the show and still have so much affection for it was that it was the first anthology show that I was able to watch first-run. Every other anthology program that I loved were shows that I saw in syndication. With Darkroom, there was something exciting about watching it for the first time alone with everyone else, rather than being a second or third generation fan of TZ or Outer Limits. It may not have been nearly as great as those shows, but it was fun while it lasted.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-51081770257140832382009-11-20T10:21:20.932-08:002009-11-20T10:21:20.932-08:00Darkroom WILL be put out on DVD!

They dragged their heels on the Night Gallery release, and only after the fans complained long and loud did they present a better package for the second season collection. Still, stranger things have happened.<br /><br />I just think that the hour-long multiple story format is perfect, allowing stories to be as long as they need to be. In my dream job as the producer for an anthology series (for HBO, natch), this is the framework. <br /><br />I was hosting an Oscar party in '99, and when Coburn got the Supporting trophy for Affliction, I announced to the room, "Ladies and gentlemen, the host of ABC's 'Darkroom' has just won an Academy Award."senskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469603484774090192noreply@blogger.com
