I hated the Time Tunnel, although I never missed the show. I was always frustrated by the fact that Tony and Doug, our time traveling heroes always landed in some precarious spot, like the deck of Titanic or the Little Big Horn battlefield. The pair never just landed on the street in Bakersfield in 1953, no. They were always in the middle of stuff and never had a clue as to how to stay out of a jam. Still the program, set in the far future of the 1970's, was entertaining and sometimes touching. My favorite episode was set in Pearl Harbor in December, 1941. There Tony encounters not only his own father, but himself as a freckled kid played by a boy named Sheldon that I knew at Bancroft Jr. High School in Los Angeles at the time. So get the Time Tunnel and be prepared to be frustrated!
Great stuff from Irwin Allen!
When it came to television Sci-Fi where the viewer had to use a bit of imagination, no one did it better than Irwin Allen. (Rod Serling was in a class all by himself). I'm curious if any extras will be included as this series boasted a handsome roster of soon to be mainstream and veteran character actors ever to grace the small screen.
Thank you Fox Home Entertainment! (Thank goodness this series IS NOT being released by Universal Home Video.)
The Time Tunnel on dvd.........AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is truly one of Irwin Allen's best sci-fi series. This show had a great spectacular and memorable opening sequence of dazzling color and lights of two men tumbling back and forward in time and space. The Time Tunnel complex was fantastic to see on your living room screen for that time perior of 1966-67. The quality of the episodes were very inmaginative and filled with excitement aimed at grabbing the attention at the time of another hit show of the same year, Batman, both of these shows where shown on ABC-TV. If these episodes are remastered from
the original 35mm prints, then this will look great on the new plasma tv's.........I really hope that they are released with the original opening tag of..........."The Time Tunnel in color" which preceeded each opening episode, although short lived as a series, The Time Tunnel was really a very cool show...........if this one sells and I'm sure that it will.......this can only lead to the release on dvd of another great IA series "Voyage to the bottom of the sea"...........wow!!!!.........please bring them on with lots of extras while most of the cast are still here, we fans have been waiting too long!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
For fans of the 60's series, the release of first fifteen episodes of the third (and final) season of Irwin Allen's sci-fi/fantasy is a revelation. All the wild colors, campy situations, over-the-top Jonathan Harris histrionics, limited scenes and stereotypical roles for the women, and futuristic gadgetry are here in this abbreviated release. The best of the show's last season are presented wherein a second disc containing only nine episodes is available separately.
That makes for the major complaint against Twentieth-Century Fox. Obviously, the company realizes that we fans will fork over the bucks necessary to obtain the show, in whatever form it takes, much to our own chagrin. However, it would've been more appreciative to us had the entire season been released...

In 1952 Superman flew right into the hearts and minds of the American TV audience faster than a speeding bullet. Though most people were already familiar with man of steel through his comic books, as well as the popular radio show, it was the new medium's Adventures of Superman that transformed our resident Kryptonian into a timeless icon. For many young baby boomers, Superman was the ultimate symbol of truth, justice and the American way. After watching this nostalgic trip back in time it is easy to see why: George Reeves. Reeves is the quintessential Superman. He is kind, confident, smart, always does the right thing and can literally do anything physically. Even Reeves' Clark Kent is cool, even cocky without any of the trademarked shy, clumsy and hickish traits the character...

The acknowledged inspiration for The X-Files, and the basis for an updated 2005 network version, Kolchak: The Night Stalker was a short-lived 1974 series spun off from a pair of extremely popular made-for-TV movies about the supernatural adventures of dogged newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin). Though plagued by low ratings and critical brickbats, the show has cultivated a huge cult following over the past three decades, which has given rise to this three-disc set, which compiles all 20 episodes of the show. Though none of the episodic stories matches the suspense and writing strength of the Night Stalker or Night Strangler movies, TV horror fans will appreciate the parade of interesting and inventive monsters encountered by Kolchak (including a...

Adventures of Superman - The Complete Second Season pretty much follows the formula laid out in the first season, building on what made the groundbreaking show so popular. For many fans, season two is the best of the series and it is easy to see why. Each episode has that strong "mini-serial-crime-movie" feel and was again scripted and shot to appeal to adults as well as younger audiences. This would all change once season three, the first color Superman season, rolled around and the producers would strictly tailor the show for children. The biggest difference viewers will notice in this season is the new Lois Lane. Fans had to say goodbye to the wonderfully tough Phyllis Coates, replaced by the perkier Noel Neill who would play the sassy and smart journalist for seasons to come. ...
