The Magician
I'd vote for this Bill Bixby series getting a DVD release. Only ran one season (22 eps), but it had a clever premise; a detective who uses his training in magic to solve crimes.

RE: The Magician
If Universal are not going to release The Magician on DVD I would like to see Shout! Factory release it.

RE: The Magician
Always loved this too and a DVD would be awesome, the last totally Bixby cult show not available. It's Paramount btw and they have a fine history of classics on DVD, one or two releases here and they're done, fans happy and they never have to deal with it ever again probably. Let's do it!

RE: The Magician
Universal can't release it because CBS/Paramount owns the rights.    And we all know what their policy is on licensing material out (they don't).

RE: The Magician
And there was me thinking Universal owned the rights to The Magician.

Have explained this show to my son and would truly enjoy having this show on shiny silver discs.

I don't think so! Not the nicest of places to post at.

I can remember Sky One showing The Magician in the daytime, but hardly saw any of it. It hasn't been shown in the UK since then.

Just bumping this to remind folks it may concern it's a Paramount show... ;)

RE: The Magician
          Mooncity & Friends,

     I remember "The Magician".  It ran for one season (maybe not even that long) when I was 7.  I would describe it however more as, "A magician uses his craft to help solve crimes and right wrongs".  In any event, if Shout released this, I'd get it!!!  CKB.
