...the first season (and the only one released so far) of the t.v. show, "The Equalizer", is on sale at Amazon.com...

Finally, according to tvshowsondvd.com, the second season of The Equalizer is being released in late August.  I'll be watching for it on Amazon.com

          More gritty drama,

Now there is a more exact date -- August 26 for its release.

     Though I have all 4 separate seasons of The Wild, Wild West on DVD, Amazon.com put the boxed, complete show on sale this week for $29.99 (not including shipping or tax).  What a deal!  I ordered it!  (Well, it's on back order, due to everyone buying it.)  Why should I buy it again when I already have all 4 seasons?  The complete boxed set includes the two WWW sequel movies, and being a completionist, I thought that the price was not too much to get the sequel movies.

(Well, it's on back order, due to everyone buying it.)

When I came back from Europe, I found the package sitting at my front door.  I opened it up and discovered that within the nice box were the discs sitting relatively loosely in cardboard slots... and that was all the protection!  I examined a few of discs and found rub marks on the video side.    That wasn't good.  So, I put each disc in a Maxell disc sleeve.  With the discs now in sleeves, they don't fit the box anymore.  Oh, well, so much for the fancy box...

     When the 1980's cop show, T.J. Hooker, was being played earlier this year on the FamilyNet channel, I tried to record every episode. I already had season 1 on DVD, but none of the other episodes had ever been released.  I was well on my way to having the complete set of episodes, just missing one episode in season 4 (due to an error in video-recording) and three episodes in season 5 (due to their not being shown).  FamilyNet started the rerun cycle again, starting with the pilot movie and the first episodes of season 1.  I was planning to catch those missing episodes in that cycle.  Unfortunately, FamilyNet halted all T.J. Hooker reruns (and those of Starsky and Hutch, too).  FamilyNet substituted old 1980's comedy shows in T.J. Hooker's place.  That's just wrong!
   And so, I may have to buy bootleg DVD's (the complete series) just to get those missing episodes.  I think I will do that in December as a gift for myself.
