Hi Everyone,
This is my first thread in the 16mm,but i do have a general question i hope somone would answer. Are there lots of 16mm Columbo prints in circulation? I would guess none are avaliable on Super 8.
Regards
Stewart

There are 16mm prints from the original delayed broadcast as well as US and foreign syndication. Doubt that it was ever licensed for Super8 because of the residual structure for actors/directors at that time.

The Columbo pilot appeared on S8mm optical sound some years ago.
Derann used to sell it at one time.

Michael,

There are Super 8mm prints of TV episodes (in some cases a single episode) of Superman, I Love Lucy, The Abbott & Costello Show, Lassie, The Green Hornet, The Lone Ranger, Lost In Space, and Amos & Andy. Columbia released quite a bit of their animated TV fare on 8mm such as The Jetsons, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Quick Draw McGraw, Snagglepuss, Mr. Magoo, and Huckleberry Hound.

Interesting.

Thanks, Doug.

Do you know who released these ( The Lucy Show, etc.)?

Hi Michael,
there were also Star Trek episodes from Canterbury Films and others, three Avengers episodes from Derann, Gerry Andersons UFO as well as The Baron, Strange Report, and Jason King from Techno Films. I had a full episode of Space Patrol (a British puppet show in the Gerry Anderson style but I don't know who released that). Some episodes of the old Sherlock Holmes TV series with Ronald Howard and Howard Marian-Crawford also are out there, I think Mountain did these. Walton Films did various Gerry Anderson stuff but I don't think they released any full episodes on Super 8, however they did on the old Standard 8 guage. There's probably some I have forgotten maybe others will remember.

Paul.
