I found these too! Matter of fact, after downloading to AVI I was able to transcode them (using Nero) to the regular VOB format that will play on any DVD player. It is so nice having them again! I was watching the pilot just last night and am continually amazed at how detailed it was and the in jokes like Inspector Queen sayng nightly news at ten at night is a dumb idea because who wants to hear about the problems of the world before they go to bed. Priceless!

Same story in my house. My step-father and I didn't get along too well, but when it was Ellery Queen night, we were planted on the couch together trying to solve the killer's identity as the clues rolled in. Always keeping in mind it was never the obvious choice so sometimes we had some pretty crazy theories
But when Ellery laid it out at the end, we were usually turning to each other and saying "of course! It's so obvious now!" Great nighttime viewing before being sent off to bed. And one of those childhood memories that always brings a smile.
R.I.P. Jim Hutton many, many of us loved your work. No one could have been a better Ellery. -

I got it last weekend and have watched the first two discs so far. Already this is my favorite TV show I own on DVD. Great writing and acting. I probably missed about half the episodes when the show first ran back in the 70s, so I really look forward to seeing all of them now.

Watched the show back in the 70's, when it originally aired.
I was a big fan of that show (who wasn't?!).
I remember goading my dad into buying me a "
ragg wool hat
" out of a Cabela's catalogue we'd received in the mail, because it looked just like the one Jim Hutton wore on the show.
I still have that hat. Sadly, I'm no Jim Hutton (or Ellery Queen!).
I see its out on DVD now.
I'll have to check that out. Have only seen one or two episodes since the show stopped production.
What in the wide wide world of sports is'a goin' on around here?!
