does anyone want the dramatic TV Series "The Name Of the Game" on DVD?
If anyone isn't familiar with the Series, it was a 90 minute dramatic TV show that aired on NBC from 1968 to 1971. It was NBC's first attempt of doing a "wheel" series before Columbo or McMillan and Wife. The show starred three heavyweight leads Robert Stack, Gene Barry and Tony Franciosa. the Three leads almost never appeared in the same episode, instead they would rotate appearances in different episodes of the series. the Three leading men in the Series all play reporters for a magazine publishing company called Howard Publications. Gene Barry played Glenn Howard, a sophisticated well rounded publisher and Tony Franciosa played Jeff Dillon, the reporter of People Magazine and Robert Stack played Dan Farrell, the head editor of Crime Magazine.

I have about half the run from Encore Mystery but I would like to get the full series. From what I hear, there are music issues on a bunch of them.
