I guess the old TV series Voyagers!<\/i> must be selling reasonably well on DVD — either that, or studio execs are running out of product to release and still have a bunch of blank discs they want to burn — because the rumor mill says two more obscurities from the early ’80s, Salvage 1<\/i><\/a> and Tales of the Gold Monkey<\/i><\/a>, may be coming next year. Of the two, I’d say Gold Monkey<\/i> is more likely, if for no other reason than the opportunity to ride the coattails of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull<\/i> and maybe make a few more bucks than this series would on its own. For me, it’s also the more desirable of these two possibilities. (If you’ll recall, I wrote about<\/a> Gold Monkey<\/i> a while back; I always loved that show.)<\/p>\n

As for Salvage 1<\/i>, I remember watching it and can easily recall the basic premise — a post-Mayberry, pre-Matlock<\/i> Andy Griffith builds a backyard rocket ship so he can go to the Moon and retrieve all the equipment left behind by the Apollo<\/i> astronauts — but the details have gotten pretty hazy. I didn’t realize this show had enough of a fan base to support a DVD release, but I could be wrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The way things are going, I guess everything will become available for us crazy collector-types one of these days…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
