A year ago at this time, "Kojak" was one of the last of the Universal 11 "one and done" titles from the 2005 rollout, languishing with nothing new. Now, on September 11, the show incredibly thanks to mega-fast tracking from Shout! will join the ranks of the completed!

Now PLEASE, Shout, free "Ironside" and "Marcus Welby, MD" from limbo!!

For those of you who were planning to get the 1975-76 David McCallum "Invisible Man" series on Blu-Ray instead of regular DVD, DON'T! Advance reviews have revealed that VEI stupidly reformatted the episodes to 16 X 9 which is the wrong aspect ratio for any vintage TV show.
Ugh I ate it when they pull that (like with the V mini-series and Route 66). Thanks for that heads-up.

I see ALICE is coming out through Warner Archives:
This is a DVD-R release and may not be compatible with all players
Description:
Alice is the story of Alice Hyatt (Linda Lavin), a recently widowed single mom who finds herself working as a waitress at an Arizona diner while caring for her pre-teen son, Tommy (Philip McKeon). The inimitable Vic Tayback plays Mel, the gruff owner of the diner, while Beth Howland and Polly Holliday play her co-workers, neurotic Vera and no-nonsense Flo. This 3-Disc, 24- Episode Collection collects the entire first season of the Bicentennial-era break-out hit, including the rarely seen pilot episode featuring Alfred Lutter from Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, the film inspiration for Alice. Guest stars include Batman's Adam West, Victor Buono, and Dark Shadow's Lara Parker.

The final product is apparently horrible -
"This release is so bad it makes bad Blu-ray discs look pretty decent by comparison (think, oh, that Mill Creek release or any of those Echo Bridge titles that cram four movies onto one disc and still fare better than this atrocity). Aside from the stretched-out picture, this one looks little-to-no better than the show might have on household TV sets back in 1975, what with the standard definition video source appearance to it, false colors, all sorts of shimmering, and on and on, but not to get ahead of the review; all the juicy stuff is down below, but this release is so insulting that it would be wrong not to get a shot in at the shoddy video quality right off the bat."

The only chance "Longstreet" or other short-lived obscure titles controlled by CBS/Paramount have of making it is if they start their counterpart to the Warner Archive program. I seriously doubt you'll ever see a title like that for retail.
weren't the Bruce Lee episodes released?
brm
