Has anyone used this site before??

What they offer looks incredible. (All four seasons of "Richard Diamond, Private Eye"?? Where the heck did they find that?)

As you can see, on the FKB page it says "all 205 episodes, uncut and commercial free". Is that possible? Does the set include "Not His Type", which no one seems able to find?

Anyway, since there is a 30 day money back guarantee, I've taken the plunge. Will report back.

Wish us all luck. 'Cause if this is true, we've found the Holy Grail. :clap

I also wanted to gamble and get this set which is available from several of those canadian unauthorized dealers unfortunately I did hear from another fan I keep in touch with that the set is indeed incomplete as most of the advsertised sets are, they also lack in quality, also they put labels on the discs which can casue havoc in some player after a period of time. also good luck in returning it, these operations are extremely fly by night and I have also heard of many people being ripped off....again I wish you the best of luck with your purchase.

Oh, boy.

Well, there's always launching a charge-back with my bank. :) (Which will happen if the set is not "complete and unedited".)

Will post when (IF?) I receive the set.

Thanks, please do post and give a detailed review if possible, my friend had just said that her set was missing episodes, some were not even complete, but again I didn't get a detailed review!

Thanks for the follow-up TVC. Well, at least she was sent something. After I placed the order, I did a Google on that site -- definitely putting the cart before the horse -- and there seems little but complaints. Including many total ripoffs with nothing sent.

Frankly, what's the purpose of doing that? Everyone who was ripped off probably just rejected the charge on their CCs.

Hopefully something will show up. :-)

I bought a supposedly complete set, and 2 season 6 episodes were missing (1, of course, Not His Type). About all you can say for these sets is that they include Stage to Yuma. Evidently that was located recently, and is now being passed around...

Very interesting, Steve.

Mine is now "on the way" via CanadaPost. (There are FKB fans in Canada?)

Where did you get your incomplete "complete" set, if I may ask?

I can't remember the exact name but the place is in Canada. I'm sure they are all selling the same set--some are copies of copies. But anytime I ask ANY vendor who is hawking FKB about Not His Type, they either don't reply or generically say they have them all.

On my set, I think where NHT should be, they either simply repeat another ep., or it's just not there.

I think the set is worthwhile though. For my part, I just wish Sony would invest the time in locating the network prints (if they still exist) and preserve the series on DVD. If someone does not, all that eventually will be left is the poor syndicated edits which are out there now (where no episodes beyond season 2 have the original openers, and several episodes have closing credits for a different episode, etc.) When you look at '50's series which Sony controls, this is probably the most popular one.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Oh, well. NHT has become the Holy Grail. :-)

How complete is each episode? Are they in the 25-26 minute range? Also, are the intros for each year correct?

Incomplete, no, and no. The most irritating thing to me is that the original third season intro. remains 'lost.'

On the positive side, it's great to have nearly every episode on one collection.
