23 episodes in pristine shape!
Typical Canadian production values. So far the only guest star I?ve heard
of is Jennilee Harrison.
A bare minimum of information on IMDb. I was going to document it for Ian
to post, but it?s blocked from allowing screen grabs for verification.
Fred-Bob says ?check it out!?
Wow! The original Sea Hunt from 1958 is on there too. I keep hoping Prime >will clean up the 60's show, Combat! for streaming. For some reason they >have one single episode and that's it.

H & I (Heroes and Icons) has it on a once/week sked (don't recall
the time). Alas with lots of additional cuts, etc.
I just watched the episode where Worf's father was a hermit
and helped them...

I actually watched it on there through frndlytv streaming service but as you >say, it has cuts. A lot of the videos are very faded and out of focus.

Yeah, the good news about compterized speech->text is it's
allowing lots of older shows (and, alas, new ones...) to
have captioning.
However, the quality ranges from kind-of-ok to absolutely
horrible.
For the moment, real human captioning is much better. But
the broadcasters/owners/whatevers have a choice between paying
just about nothing to computerized captioning services and,
well, getting what they paid for.. to kicking over modest
sums and getting credible product.
I'd love to see a third party application (yes, some are
kind of almost there...) that would be on my own system
and communicate with the server as needed, and provide
decent captioning. Yeah, let's say a ten second delay
as it feeds the video back and forth *AND* looks at
(and buffers) the next five seconds to figure out what
the person is saying now..

will clean up the 60's show, Combat! for streaming. For
some reason they have one single episode and that's it.

Treat yourself and splurge on the DVDs for Combat.
The list of then-big-time guest stars that appeared
on the show is a whos-who of the Hollywood of the
era.
The extra features with interviews of several of the
regulars in Sgt. Sanders' squad are really good too
to give you some extra incentive to get the box sets.
Loved the show back in the day and it still holds up
pretty well in terms of writing and acting even given
the limitations of the show's WWII setting.
Nyssa, who always thought Lt. Hanley looked too clean
to be a soldier in combat what with all that French
mud they were always slogging through

I actually have the dvd's but need closed captions or subtitles and the dvds >never had any. That's why I was hoping a streaming service would pick up
the show so they'd add some. A couple of people did most of the first
three seasons worth of episodes by hand/ear using the DVDs. I got them from >opensubtitles.org
