Bat Masterson - Western with Gene Barry
Highway Patrol - Tough, no nonsense police series in the "Dragnet" vein starring Broderick "10-4" Crawford
Sea Hunt - Classic undewater adventure series with Lloyd Bridges as "Mike Nelson."
There were many other ZIV produced series, but these three, I believe, stand the test of time.

Member since: 12/12/2007 | | RE: Where are the ZIV television shows? | I would very much like to see the 1950's cult 'spy' drama "I Led 3 Lives", which was a ZIV production. The series was nominated for two Prime-Time Emmys. Part of the series (Season 2) was filmed in color. Oddly enough, seasons 1 and 3 were black and white.
This series has never been released in any format and has not been seen on TV (except for rare broadcasts in local markets) since the 1960's. |

But film prints have been around for years. I must have at least half the run that I transferred from 16mm. |
