McMillan and Wife season six--Aug 6
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/McMillan-Wife-Season-6/15300
Earlier this month we reported on the full DVD schedule, in the USA and Canada, for all remaining seasons of McMillan and Wife. That included the first word that Visual Entertainment Inc. (VEI) of Canada was planning on an August release in the USA of the show's final season, via their state-side distributor Millennium Media Services/First Look. Now an Amazon.com pre-order listing has gone up for McMillan and Wife - Season 6, confirming the August 2nd street date and providing a price of $39.98 SRP. Now, that final season actually aired under the changed show name "McMillan", because Susan Saint James had left the show. Martha Raye joined the cast as Mac's new maid, "Agatha" (sister of the previous maid, Nancy Walker's "Mildred").
Regardless of what it's called, this 450-minute set contains 6 feature-length episodes with guest stars such as Jessica Walter, Werner Klemperer, Kim Basinger, Karen Valentine, Shirley Jones, Russell Johnson, Julie Sommars, Larry Hagman, John de Lancie, Gordon Jump, Stefanie Powers, Natalie Schafer and Joan Van Ark. There's no word yet about package art, extras (if any) or whether to expect a "complete series" set for this show. Stay tuned, of course, and we'll keep you updated as more details become available!

Great news! HARRY-O!!!
Hope this leads to the series getting a release.
Harry O - The 2nd TV-Movie Pilot, with David Janssen Joined by Jodie Foster, Comes to DVD!
Available in early May exclusively at the Warner Archive's MOD program
Harry Orwell has been retired from the force ever since he caught a bullet that lodged inoperably in his back. But that doesn't mean the man called Harry O is out of the action. Moonlighting as a private sleuth, fighting off daily back pain and typically traveling by public bus instead of his own car ("It gives a man a chance to think"), he's on the trail of the lowlife who murdered his pal's son-in-law. It won't be the only time the killer strikes before Harry closes in. David Janssen (The Fugitive) portrays dogged detective Harry in the telefilm that was the second of two pilots preceding his memorable Harry O series. Among the highlights: young Jodie Foster as Liberty, the wise-beyond-her-years homeless waif Harry befriends.
From the fall of 1974 to the spring of 1976, David Janssen - previously acclaimed for his role as The Fugitive - is doing the hunting this time as a private investigator that used to be a cop. Before the show's two seasons aired, there were a pair of pilot telefilms starring Janssen as "Harry O": the March 1973 broadcast of "Such Dust as Dreams Are Made On" and then, after some reworking was done, the February 1974 airing of "Smile Jenny, You're Dead" (also titled "Don't Call the Police" in later airings). Because the second telefilm was much closer to the format that the regular Harry O series used when it formally premiered in September 1974, it's usually considered the show's "real pilot".
And the Warner Archive Collection is bringing that second ("real") pilot telefilm home to the fans on March 3rd, with a manufacture-on-demand (MOD) release of Harry O - Smile Jenny, You're Dead. The 90-minute-long production comes on a single disc presented in the original full frame video and English mono audio. Cost is $19.95 SRP. Besides Janssen, there are other notable cast members in this story, but none moreso than future Oscar winner Jodie Foster...who at the time of the filming for this item had not yet done the TV series Paper Moon yet, much less Freaky Friday or Taxi Driver. Look for her as "Liberty Cole" in this show!

Btw, how about those Australian releases of McCloud? Has someone purchased them? I can find online only pictures of the set for S3.
I got seasons 1 and 3 from Australia and season 5 from Denmark. The Australian releases are very, very good. Season 4 is due this summer, too. The picture quality is fine, similar to the American release. There is a bonus interview on Season 3, and the booklets are informative and very well illustrated. The Danish sets are not as great. The Season 3+4 set is missing an episode. The season 5 set is complete, although they cram three 2-hour shows onto each disc, and the episodes are in random order without labels, so you have to guess which episodes are where. Still good shows, and season 6 is coming out next month.
