RARE DVD SET = 'WAY OUT (1961 Anthology -Roald Dahl) w/case (NOT From TV Reruns)

Description: PLEASE READIF YOU ARE EXPECTING TODAY'S TV QUALITY - OR 'OFF THE RETAIL STORE SHELF' VIDEO QUALITY - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DVD COLLECTION! These episodes are rare and very hard to find. They were obtained over the last 45+ years by trading with fellow collectors worldwide. I am telling you now, they are NOT today's TV quality and you should not expect that. If you purchase from the heading alone, make your own assumptions and they are not what you expected, HOW IS THAT MY FAULT? PLEASE READ THE BOLD RED TEXT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LISTING. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE!Thank You!==================================================WAY OUT March 31,1961 – July 14, 1961 'Way Out was a 1961 fantasy and science fiction television anthology series hosted by writer Roald Dahl. The macabre 25-minute shows were introduced by Dahl's dry delivery of a brief introductory monologue, sometimes explaining a method of murdering a spouse without getting caught. The taped series began because CBS suddenly needed a replacement for a short-lived Jackie Gleason talk show and producer David Susskind contacted Dahl to help mount a show quickly. The series was paired by the network with the similar The Twilight Zone for Friday evening broadcasts, under the primary sponsorship of Liggett & Myers (L&M cigarettes). Critical notices at the time were extremely good, especially for Dahl's comedic commentaries. While the series garnered high ratings in urban areas, it fared poorly in the hinterlands and was canceled after 14 episodes. I have 10 of those 14 episodes in this collection. The other 4 remain lost to collectors The show was one of the last weekly dramatic television series produced in New York City. THIS COLLECTION IS FOR THESE 10 EPISODES ONLY (Originally transferred from old film prints - meaning complete and uncut only. not that they are pristine) - Several episodes include original broadcast commercials No. Episode Title Original Air Date 1 “William and Mary” 3-31-1961 2 “I Heard You Calling Me” 5-5-1961 3 “The Croaker” 5-12-1961 4 "False Face" 5-26-1961 5 "Dissolve To Black" 6-2-1961 6 "Death Wish" 6-9-1961 7 "Overnight Case" 6-16-1961 8 "Hush Hush" 6-23-1961 9 "Side Show" 6-30-1961 10 "20/20" 7-14-1961 ================================ This 2 DVD collection comes in a hardshell plastic case with series description and artwork. All DVDs come with menus with episode titles for easy episode accessAll episodes are in the PUBLIC DOMAIN and were custom recorded to DVD for the best quality. this is not a retail set or a copy of a retail set as NO retail release of these episodes is available. PLEASE NOTE: FROM FILM PRINTS DOES NOT MEAN PRISTINE OR TODAY'S TV QUALITY. The film prints were decades old when the transfers were done and the equipment at the time of transfer was not like today's digital transfer systems. "FROM FILM" in this case means 'complete, as aired', It DOES NOT mean perfect! ================================= PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING: This is NOT a retail set or a copy of a retail set as no retail release exists for this show. This is a custom made DVD collection made from episodes acquired in the collector arena. These episodes are rare, extremely hard-to-find and possibly all that still exist. In many cases, these episodes were transferred from a master source many years ago (master source to Beta or VHS to DVD as each media became available). READ MY FEEDBACK - many people have already acquired and have enjoyed these sets for what they are... a piece of TV history not available in stores. If you are unfamiliar with video collecting and do not know what a 'collector set' means... It DOES NOT mean every episode is pristine and without flaws. It DOES NOT mean all episodes are today's TV quality. It DOES NOT mean all episodes will look great on your Samsung 65" 4G Big Screen HDTV. Too many people believe every episode of every show is available in today's TV quality. Unfortunately, that is not the case and you SHOULD NOT be expecting that. Please DO NOT buy any collector DVD set if you are expecting the same quality as though you are watching TVLand reruns on your Big Screen HDTV. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO CLAIM "NEW" QUALITY ON A COLLECTOR SET.... Ask if it is 'factory new' if you are unsure. If you are not sure what to expect from this set, DO NOT ASSUME! Please email me BEFORE purchasing. I am an honest collector. I have over 40+ years of collecting experience and a collection of over 500,000 video items (I lost count). I know what is available to collectors and what is not. Unlike some, I will not tell you what you want to hear just to make a sale. I am not like that. If you are expecting today's TV quality, I will tell you not to buy any collector DVD set. If you want to watch this set for what it is, "a piece of lost TV history" then by all means do so. I cannot be more honest in my explanation. DO NOT expect better quality than I am stating is being offered. ================================= Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 SHIPPING Due to the ever increasing USPS Shipping charges, to keep it economical this item can be shipped several ways (you choose) but be aware of the ESTIMATED DELIVERY TIMES (knowing the USPS each can take longer that stated) MEDIA MAIL (4-14 Business Days delivery) FIRST CLASS MAIL (2-7 Business days) PRIORITY MAIL (2-5 Business Days) BE AWARE OF THE DELIVERY TIMES BEFORE PURCHASING - DO NOT EXPECT DELIVERY SOONER THAN THE MAXIMUM DELIVERY TIME OF THE SERVICE YOU SELECTED Also the USPS does not accept request to trace until after 30 days have passed so please do not ask.
