Dont think I've actually seen it, although I came across it when I was trying to match horror episodes with childhood recollections, which turned out to be from "Evil Touch" (which I hope will be released despite its mediocrity).

Resolution is the standard older tv show on DVD 720x480 and looks very crisp and clear. Looks good enough to have been transferred from 35 mm film. First episode has very little if any film grain as far as I could tell on a computer monitor, and the third has a slight film grain in some scenes. But not enough to be off-putting. The sound seems pristine for a 1970s tv show. Cabot is pretty creepy even as just the narrator. -Shonokin The Pulp Reader

Viewing them on a bluray player on a 37" 720p flat screen and they look very sharp with a minimum of grain. I am also excited to re-watch a few episodes that were not complete on my other set. All in all a great looking set so far! I highly recommend this set if you like '70s style TV horror, hey, if Hal Linden as a vampire doesn't get you to watch, nothing will!

Well, there is still the matter of Universal tackling the last two seasons of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS and all three seasons of THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR (not to mention a half-season's worth of the Hitchcock-produced SUSPICION hour-long anthology, which was sort of a dry run for TAHH)... and Roald Dahl's WAY OUT needs to be freed from museum-collection limbo. ZIV's SCIENCE FICTION THEATRE (with your host, Truman Bradley), too, though many of its episodes are Tales From The Dull Side. "I say ALL you scientists are CRACKPOTS! Nothing is going to happen..."

I guess this is payback for the two FBI sets I got for $17 each. Watched the first episode last night--really fun, and a nice picture. I recommend jumping at this deal!

May 3 12 11:49 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The WB site has it on sale for $16.15 !!! I just ordered it. After shipping and tax , it came to $20.27. Thanks Capn Dunsel for the tip. P.S. It was listed as $17.95 but when I put it in my cart the price dropped to $16.15 ( Why I don't know ). The $5.00 shipping charge also got cut in half.

It appears that they took 10% off for you for some reason. They didn't for me, but $17.95 for what Amazon is charging $41.99 (and a list price of $55.99) is a nice savings. I did get the cheap shipping rate of $2.50. Plus, the order confirmation is for "the complete series" so there's no doubt about getting it all.

The $5.00 shipping charge also got cut in half. I also got it for $16.15 and cheaper shipping (then added a few titles and got free shipping). Didnt want to add insult to injury to the folks who paid more on Amazon. If they hadnt bought it and reviewed it here, I probably wouldnt have checked it out on Warner today. Sometime in the past, you must have signed up for "WB Insider Rewards" to get 10% discount and cheaper shipping (which I suggest everyone do). Under each title in your cart, you can see the explanation for a discount - in this case, "WB Insider Rewards: Save 10% on Warner Archives Collection." It's usually only applied to Archive dvds (not MGM and Sony mods), and not applied to titles already on sale. I think it's just a bunch a site glitches - there's no way the price should be that low and discounted. Last Edited By: CapnDunsel May 3 12 3:18 PM. Edited 1 times.

I have a feeling that when it comes time to account to Sony for the revenue, the WB people are going to realize the error - if not sooner. Were it some WB series, they might not realize for some time, but this involves a third party. EDITED TO ADD I wonder who does the actual manufacturing of the MODs. I would imagine that it would be Sony and that WB is only acting as the sales agent. But they might be wondering why WB is providing significantly more orders than Amazon. I checked out the Sony site and to order, it just sends one back to Amazon. Last Edited By: clore103051 May 3 12 4:27 PM. Edited 1 times.

I look forward to viewing more episodes. I was away at school when the series originally aired, so the show is "new" to me.

I'm so glad I held off on ordering this till now because if I had paid SRP and then read about this , I'd be having a major fece fit like I did when I read about the FBI screw-up that I missed out on.
