And that's it for the major cast members!

Is AL's Joyride on DVD, do you know?

:D

Nice bit of research, Eric. :thumbsup:

I have to do a little investigating to make sure but, I'm almost certain that Bonanza is available on DVD.

A question - would this listing also encompass 'mini-series' that were broadcast on television? I'm thinking in terms of 'North & South' which featured Lloyd Bridges and 'War and Remembrance' which featured Jane Seymour.

:)

Miniseries and TV movies I think could best be put in the same list that theatrical movies on DVD would go on.

I haven't looked yet at those TV show sets etc. that the Galactica guest stars or minor players (like Larry Manetti who is represented by both seasons of Magnum on DVD and the new release of "Baa Baa Black Sheep") are represented on as opposed to the regulars. For the big guest stars like Patrick Macnee etc. the list would really be voluminous! :)

Yes Pete, there are some Bonanza DVD sets out but they are if I'm not mistaken rather cheap public domain video releases and not the kind of good quality release by the rights holder that would be more worth having on DVD.

Eric you missed out Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 2 (Episode "Blood Oath") for John Colicos.

Also, I'm not sure if there are any X-Men 90s Cartoon series DVDs out (there's at least one), as John Colicos was Apocalypse in that.

For Richard Hatch, there's also Kung Fu Season 1 (the episode "Sun and Cloud Shadow")

Re: Bonanza, that's probably what they are -- I've seen a lot of "mix and match" variety on the store shelves. It does look like a quick 'slap-together'.

Re: Macnee, The Avengers series would likely be my first selection.

One wonderfully obscure Macnee appearance on DVD is the Season 1 "Twilight Zone" episode "Judgment Night" which stars Nehemiah Persoff (also a Galactica guest star).

partridge family
 

The first season of The Partridge Family is now on DVD. Herbert Jefferson Jr. was a guest in an episode which also starred--ahem--Richard Pryor (I am not making this up).
Some of the other guests from the first season were Ray Bolger/Vector, Ben Frank/Cella and Ken Swofford/General Maxwell.
Actually, I am considering buying this. David was my first love (sorry, Richard).

Good Stuff!

Thanks!

All three seasons of Lost In Space (Galactica's Lucifer featured the voice of Jonathan Harris) are on DVD now.

They should release Chopper One on DVD! ;)

I can actually vaguely recall they showed it over here on Sunday lunchtimes.

Best,

Peter

Time to update this list for the first time in a long while. The Season 1 and 2 DVD release of "T.J. Hooker" features Herb Jefferson's episode "The Empty Gun" (Season 2, Episode 3).

One more season of "Columbo" on DVD will also land us Herb's appearance in the episode "Playback". I expect that to be out sometime early next year since Universal seems committed to putting the entire run of that show out on DVD.

A Lorne Greene guest appearance from 1956 can be found in the new season 1 release of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" in the episode "Help Wanted." In this pre-Bonanza role, Lorne plays a very unsavory millionaire who orders a meek and timid employee to kill someone for him.

A UK DVD set of The Six Million Dollar Man season one is scheduled for release. Laurette Spang appeared in one of the early episodes. Terry Carter had made a few guest appearences in a couple of early episodes as a fellow OSI agent. I still hope Universal gets its act together and releases Region 1 sets.

Terry Carter was in an episode of Combat titled "the Long wait." He was the only African-American actor ever featured on the series.

Okay...

I've got one and it goes all the way back to 1970!

I just saw Herbert Jefferson Jr. in a first season epsiode of The Partridge Family on DVD. The episode is called "Soul Club" and Herb is playing the role of the local "Afro American Cultural Club" leader. This episode also featured Lou Gossett and Richard Pryor as brothers that own a nightclub in an old firehouse trying to raise money to keep it.

I always loved this show as a very young person and I still find the music fun to listen to. It's quite a treat to see the acting talent of Shirley Jones, David Cassidy and Susan Dey again way back in the much simpler times of the early 70's.

Best to all,
Bryan

More on John Colicos:


Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 2 (Episode "Blood Oath")

Reprised his role as Commander Kor; joining him were Michael Ansara (Commander Kang) and William Campbell (Commander Koloth).

Doctor Salik, aka Mr George Murdoch, guest stars in the superb 'Dead Zone' season 1, episode #4: 'Enigma'.
He is a principal 'guest' character, and although he is only on screen for a few minutes, he puts in an absolutely first rate performance in a story of long lost love.
Its nice to see at least one of the BSG crew's talents are still being used!

Sheesh! How did I never notice that?

Time for a full, revised version of this list! Remember, we're just talking about appearances of the principal Galactica cast (those up front in the credits) on current TV on DVD releases (or soon to be released)

I picked up a copy of the Sea Wolves and patrick macnee is in it. Herb was also in Airwolf the pilot as a carrier commander, the Enterprise in fact.

Though Sea Wolves, as a feature movie, would belong on a separate list of theatrical movies on DVD featuring Galactica cast/guest cast. I imagine a list like that would be far more numerous (and in the case of AL, hard to keep track of when factoring in films where she did voice work only).

highway to heaven
 

Lorne was in a season two episode of Highway to Heaven entitled "The Smile in the Third Row." I looked it up and season two is available on DVD.
Mary

Will update the most recent list. Thanks!

Here's one new addition I'd forgotten about until now. A "best of" set of the 1950s sitcom "Sergeant Bilko" has been put out on DVD, and has several episodes where Terry Carter appeared as one of the soldiers in the scheming Bilko's platoon.

Revised list time, reflecting the release of some Terry Carter appearances on "Sergeant Bilko" plus a Laurette Spang appearance on "Emergency!"
