Anyone know anything about this laserdisc? Released on DVD or worth a preservation?

Judging by the episode titles, those are the 1960's animated episodes. The whole series was released on DVD several years back, although it may be out of print now...

Does anyone on this board even have a PAL capable LD player?

Thanks, and you're right - "The '67 Collection" is available on DVD.

There are a handful of people on here who have PAL capable LD players, myself included.

Nick Fury actually came out on DVD earlier this year.

Notice how they're trying to "elevate" the film to some level of quality, as evidenced by the comment on the cover.

 

While the film itself is of questionable quality, I'll give them credit in that Hoff looked EXACTLY like the way they were drawing Fury in the comics in those days.

My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

M.A.N.T.I.S. has been officially released! I'm enjoying it very much.

Moth3r said:The 1977 TV movie pilot for The Incredible Hulk is so much better than that 2003 fiasco.

 

 Well said. The series itself is, IMO, various degrees of '70s cheese, but the pilot is fantastic. It plays like a horror movie.

And don't forget the two Captain America TV movies from, I think, '78 and '79, where Cap has a clear plastic shield that acts as the windscreen of the motorcycle he drives around and where Cap is played by amazingly lifelike automoton Reb Brown. I think the great Christopher Lee slums in one of them.

Also don't forget the Dr. Strange TV-movie pilot of the same era, which I actually rather like.

The new screens held!

Would Doc Savage: Man of Bronze count for this? And wasn't there also a SHAZAM/Captain Marvel TV show in the 1970's?

I've never seen either of these but would pique my interest to watch them. Verdicts on both?

Doc Savage was a theatrical release. (Produced by George Pal no less!) And now you can buy it from Warner's new "burn on demand" site.

SHAZAM! aired on TvLand several years back.
