Mr. Terrific

I wanted to suggest that you release the 1967 comedy, Mr Terrific. This was released in Germany last year, so it may not be very costly to introduce this to the US, since the video has already been prepared in English (and German) for the Germany release. Since you have an agreement with Universal to release Leave it to Beaver and Mr Terrific was also produced by Universal, it may be a possibility that you could work with this studio to make this a reality. This is a fun show and I have noticed many people who remember this and would love to see it again!

RE: Mr. Terrific

Count me in as someone who would buy (multiple copies) of a region 1 release of Mr. Terrific.

Here's some stuff that was missing from the German release; which might make an American release more attractive to collectors:

A complete print of the aired pilot: "Matchless"

The unaired pilot w/Alan Young

"The Pill Caper"

Stephen Strimpell's "Captain Nice" screen test. (That could be a toughie.)

Music rights shouldn't be much of an issue for this show, but be careful. There's a "chamber music" rendition of the Petula Clark hit "My Love" playing in the background of the episode "My Partner the Jewel Thief." There may be other tunes not in public domain that I didn't catch.
