IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE!Thank You!================================================== MATINEE THEATER October 31, 1955 – June 27, 1958 Matinee Theater is an American anthology series that aired on NBC from 1955 to 1958 and was hosted each day by John Conte. Matinee Theater was a most ambitious theatrical TV series for NBC televising five different stage plays per week live, airing around noon in order to promote color TV (which had just been developed) to the American housewife as she labored over her ironing. An earlier live series Cameo Theatre introduced to television the concept of theater-in-the-round, TV plays staged with minimal sets.THIS LISTING IS FOR THESE 13 RARE EPISODES ONLY Normal 0 Episode Title Air Date 1 Mr Krane 01/03/1956 2 From The Desk Of Margaret Tydings 04/04/1956 3 Horse Power 10/30/1956 4 Strong Medicine 12/28/1956 5 Tongue Of Silver 03/15/1957 6 Journey Into Darkness 03/26/1957 7 Barricade On The Big Black 03/27/1957 8 Jane Eyre 05/16/1957 9 The Eye Of The Storm 06/07/1957 10 The Richest Man In The World 07/17/1957 11 The Suicide Club 02/25/1958 12 Much Ado About Nothing (part 1) 05/20/1958 13 Much Ado About Nothing (part 2) 05/21/1958 ================================ This is a 7 DVD collection and comes in a hard-shell plastic case with series description and artwork.All episodes recorded at the 2hrs per disc speed for the best possible qualityAll DVDs have a menu for easy episode access All 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 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.
