A campaign has launched to get this *forgotten* TV classic on home video - DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. A petition has been set up to "let Sony Pictures know how much this classic show needs to be seen," via preferably "a DVD collectors set." Mike Dennis of Reelblack Presents is the man behind the effort. As he states: "To my knowledge, The Outcasts was never re-run in syndication. It was rebroadcast in the 1990s, but has never been released on VHS or DVD and does not show on cable channels like Encore Westerns.

Following up on Cynthia’s recent post (Here) regarding what TV shows you would you like to bring back if you could, I knew my answer immediately: The Outcasts.
This was The Show! No if or buts about it. A good friend of mine and I still talk and reminisce about the show and the impact it had on us as young kids.
Even once I was speaking on a phone with someone and somehow The Outcasts came up. When I finished, a white guy sitting next to me who overheard what I was talking about said to me: “You were talking about The Outcasts?? God, I Loved that show!” When a show made over 40 years still has that kind of impact, then you know it was something really special.
The western series show was on ABC starting in the fall of 1968 and its premise was deadly simple and effective.

Cinema Retro has received the following press release:

A Thief Catcher (Keystone, 1914), featuring a previously unknown performance by silent comedy star Charlie Chaplin, will have its west coast re-premiere during the 46th annual Cinecon Classic Film Festival at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood California over Labor Day Weekend, September 2-6, 2010
Chaplin is officially credited with appearing in thirty-five films during his year at Keystone in 1914, but he claimed in various interviews that he had also played bit roles as a cop and a barber while at the studio--but he did not name the films, and although there has been some speculation about the possibility of additional Chaplin-Keystone appearances, none has turned up until now. Film collector Paul Gierucki found a 16mm film print in a trunk at a Taylor, Michigan, antique store last year. "I could tell it was a Keystone comedy,...
