"PD purveyor TGG DIRECT offers reliable DVD transfers of unrestored films at bargain prices. Some extras are included but what's NOT here are any annoying on-screen company watermarks.





TRIVIANA for "TV's Lost Episodes: Action Collector's Edition"--



The horse portraying "Fury" was Highland Dale.

These still highly regarded programs were directed by Blake Edwards, John Meredyth Lucas and others.

Watch for an uncredited cameo by Leave it to Beaver's Ken Osmond (aka Eddie Haskell) in the FURY episode "The Search for Joey."

Herschel Bernardi, a PETER GUNN regular, was the original voice of Chicken of the Sea's spokesfish, Charlie the Tuna.

John Phillips, leader of and songwriter for The Mamas & Papas, has a small role in the FURY chapter, "Joey's Father."
