 Will it ever be released? December 10, 2008
M. Chapman (Iowa, USA)
It's interesting in the age of HD and the amazing technology available, that shows like this are still unavailable to the public. Surely all of the CBS/NBC episodes are somewhere. I had a C-Band satellite (the big 6 foot dishes) back in the early 1990's and there was a station that showed this series everyday and that's how I discovered it. I loved the series and have always tried to find it on DVD or even VHS to no avail. We should somehow find out who owns the show and write to see if it will ever be released.

As a big David Janssen fan I was looking forward to seeing something new and fresh even before The Fugitive came out.
The quality of this DVD is very poor and makes it hard to watch.
Someone should take this entire series and digitally remaster it!

My only complaint about this dvd is that there are only 2 episodes from the series on it. Both episodes excellent.Good story-lines. David Janssen in top form. An extra perk was the amusing Maxwell House presents intros.I had flashes of Jack Lemmon sitting in front of TV in The Apartment trying to find something to watch & only be able to find all the promo stuff :)
BTW on this DVD is HOLLYWOOD REMEMBERS DAVID JANSSEN which is a great, all be it concise, profile of David Janssen, which I personally thoroughly enjoyed.

all you need to know is that richard diamond had a very sexy receptionist whose face was never seen, just her very nice looking legs. we also get to hear her incredibly sexy voice. of course, unless you live under a rock, you remember the receptionist was played by a then unknown named mary tyler moore!!!
a bit or tivia for you, mary left the series early on and didn't even complete the first season. honestly, i don't remember. i do recall that she was paid a mere pitence for the show.
