Four Star Playhouse, Vol. 13 reviews
David Niven, Alan Napier
Critic's Choice, 2006
wonderful actors of years gone bye.
+ older t.v. shows
+ Good old fashioned tv drama suitable for family viewing
I remember my mother watching these shows late at nite. I was young and she enjoyed them and now i do to. This was when tv was a teenager. They still stand up today. I feel the net works need to look at the past and go back to it. The stuff they have on i do not watch.

The Best of Ernie Kovacs27 reviews
White Star, 2000
Classic Ernie Kovacs
+ Very Ahead Of His Time
+ T.V.'s Most Unlimited Imagination (Virtually)
This DVD is "the bomb".
I only wish there were more of Ernic Kovacs material available.
Much of his work was recorded on video tape and ABC was re-using for other purposes when his late wife Edie Adams found out and exchanged many of those tapes with brand new video tape for them to use.

This show is packed with familar faces and I was surprised and delighted to see Rose Marie in one episode and happy that she had more than one scene. I do wish it was clearer, but again, this may be just as clear as what was originally viewed with some TV sets of that time. I was pleasantly ...

+ biddo2b
There are plenty of DVDs out on the market today with episodes of television shows from the 1950s and 1960s that have fallen into the "public domain." Many of them are cheaply put together and, visually, look it. Not so with releases from the Falcon Picture Group. By and large, their releases ...
