3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to watch, February 10, 2008

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brought to you by Maxwell House, October 13, 2007

This review is from: Richard Diamond, Private Eye: Picture of Fear/The Chess Player (DVD)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Will it ever be released?, December 9, 2008

This review is from: Richard Diamond, Private Eye: Picture of Fear/The Chess Player (DVD)

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.
