I wish I could say these will be the last...but I'd only be fooling myself.

Of course, the Popeye DVD and the Film Noir 4 box arrived here at Rancho Yesteryear, as well as Hawaii Five-O: The Second Season, The Awful Truth: The Complete First and Second Seasons, and Suspense: The Lost Episodes, Collection 1.

Bought a pair of interesting DVDs from Overstock.com: one is entitled Here Is...The Johnny Carson Show, which contains a pair of kinescopes from Carson's 1955-56 comedy-variety series (Shout! Factory has also released a similar--and larger--set). It also includes a 1955 appearance Johnny made on Jack Benny's TV show and an installment of Who Do You Trust?, the game show Johnny hosted with Ed McMahon as his sidekick. The other is Classic Television, a 2-DVD set that contains a cornucopia of old television shows: Riverboat, Studio One, Make Room for Daddy, This is Your Life (the Mack Sennett episode), Mama, Name That Tune, etc.

Deep Discount.com had a buy two, get one free sale on Fox DVDs, so I walked away with Lifeboat (needed this one for my Hitchcock collection), The River's Edge and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. They were also featuring select Universakl DVDs for 7.95 apiece, so I got the Scarface disc I've been wanting and two Bing Crosby double-feature DVDs: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court/The Emperor Waltz and Rhythm on the Range/Rhythm on the River.

And finally, I made off with some cheap PD TV collections at DVD Pacific.com: 26 Men, Adventures of Kit Carson, Annie Oakley, Decoy, Four Star Playhouse, Frontier Doctor, Gangbusters, Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans, Judge Roy Bean, Mickey Rooney Show (Hey Mulligan), Northwest Passage, Passport to Danger, Racket Squad, Range Rider, Shotgun Slade, Third Man, and U.S. Marshal (Sheriff of Cochise).

Just received the 50th anniversary edition of 20 Million Miles to Earth. After a quick check of the colorized version I'd say it is decent as colorized versions go but nothing special. If that sounds like a small rant it is because you get a quality black and white print and so can ignore the colorized version.

Didn't expect to get any DVDs. But while grocery shopping at Wal-mart I picked up The Forgotten/Gattaca double feature.

I hope you enjoy Captain Midnight, Rodney...I thought it was a real hoot.

Well, as these things often go, who knows when I'll watch it, but I do really like the radio show, so I may schedule this one sooner rather than later.

Well, I feel that it is only right that I should tell you--any relationship between the serial and radio program is purely coincidental.
