Thanks, CG, it's been added. I am also going through the posts made so far, to gather ratings data, so keep those ratings coming. Edited by The Batman, Jul 15 2014, 06:09 AM.

Barcroft~ Since you took the trouble to tell me that Prince Barin wishes his real name kept off of this thread, I immediately edited the one most obvious one, that stated his first name only. I then went through the entire thread looking for any other mistakes I might have made. Thankfully, there were none. But I did find one of your posts that lists his full name, and notified you of it being on page 9. You have not edited this post to remove Barin's real name. Have we got 2 sets of rules here? Please take care of the business you brought to my attention concerning Barin's wishes. willie |

Well, that's just Un-American. I will make a note of it. |

Thanks, CG. I have heard from several sources that the Alpha release of TCH was the best. Can anyone verify which is better: Alpha or Grapevine? For now, I will leave the Alpha on the list, since it is a true DVD. Again, same deal with Mystery Mountain. Alpha or Grapevine? Lone Defender is added and thanks for the ratings, too. |

Don Daredevil Rides Again (AC Comics, 2 DVD-Rs): 6. Extras include ch. 3 of Cap'n Video, ch. 2 of The Painted Stallion, and a super-secret hidden Easter egg, ch. 2 of Superman, plus trailers for King of the Rocket Men, Panther Girl of the Kongo, Manhunt of Mystery Island, Don Daredevil Rides Again, Gov't Agents vs. Phantom Legion, and Jesse James Rides Again. The Lost Jungle (Alpha, 2 discs, sold separately): 5. Unwatchable; fuzzy, dark, squiggly video lines at the bottom, and - worst of all - Syd Saylor is in it. Government Agents vs. Phantom Legion (AC Comics, 2 DVD-Rs): 8. Extras: ch. 10 of The Green Hornet Strikes Again, ch. 3 of Flying Disc Man from Mars, ch. 4 of Flash Gordon, and the 24 min. AC Comics serial promo seen on other discs. |

What's the deal with the random chapters being included as bonus features? Why would a company do that? |

Well, I know you can find various chapters of Cap'n Video on various AC Comics releases. I think they had a print (it appears different from the VCI offering) but decided it didn't pay to put it out since VCI had. |

I agree, the most worthless of special features. Why would I watch a random, middle episode of a serial? At least make it Chapter One, so someone can try it out and decided if they want to pick the serial up. |

I'd rather see a random middle chapter of a serial if I'm trying to decide whether or not to pick it up. |

To each his own, LG, but it's not my preference. |
