RARE DVD SET === 'WAY OUT (1961 Anthology) w/case (NOT From TV Reruns)

Description

'WAY OUT
March 31,1961 – July 14, 1961
'
Way Out
was a 1961 fantasy and
science fiction
television
anthology series
hosted by writer
Roald Dahl
. The macabre 25-minute shows were introduced by Dahl's dry delivery of a brief introductory monologue, sometimes explaining a method of murdering a spouse without getting caught.
The taped series began because
CBS
suddenly needed a replacement for a short-lived
Jackie Gleason
talk show
and producer
David Susskind
contacted Dahl to help mount a show quickly. The series was paired by the network with the similar
The Twilight Zone
for Friday evening broadcasts, under the primary sponsorship of
Liggett & Myers
(
L&M
cigarettes).
Critical notices at the time were extremely good, especially for Dahl's comedic commentaries. While the series garnered high ratings in urban areas, it fared poorly in the hinterlands and was canceled after 14 episodes.
The show was one of the last weekly dramatic television series produced in
New York City.

=================================
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 NOTE: FROM FILM PRINTS DOES NOT MEAN PRISTINE OR TODAY'S TV QUALITY.
The film prints were decades old when the transfers were done and the equipment at the time of transfer was not like today's digital transfer systems.
"FROM FILM" in this case means 'complete, as aired', It
DOES NOT
mean perfect!
=================================
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, t
hese 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 250,000 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.
=================================
This 2 DVD collection comes in a hardshell plastic case with series description and artwork.
All DVDs come with menus with episode titles for easy episode access
SHIPPING PRICED WITH USPS First Class Mail with Tracking
