The Coronet Blue Complete Series DVD set collects all 13 episodes of Larry Cohen's 1967 CBS mystery drama on four discs, including the two episodes CBS never aired. Kino Lorber released this set under its KL Studio Classics label on July 18, 2017.
You will receive a brand-new copy. These are DVDs, so they play in standard DVD players and in Blu-ray players. The episodes are presented in their original 1.33:1 full-frame ratio, with about 650 minutes of running time.
A wounded man is pulled from a river with no memory except two words: "Coronet Blue". He takes the name Michael Alden and sets out to learn who he really is, only to find that a mysterious group wants him dead.
Frank Converse stars as Alden, and Brian Bedford co-stars as Brother Anthony. Guest stars across the 13 episodes include Alan Alda, Candice Bergen, David Carradine, Jon Voight, Denholm Elliott, Sally Kellerman, Richard Kiley and Dick Clark. Lenny Welch performs the theme song.
The episodes were filmed in 1965 for the 1965 to 1966 season, but CBS shelved them. The network finally aired 11 of them as a summer replacement series in 1967, leaving two unseen until home video.
This four-disc set is the only way to see every produced episode, since two never made it to air. In his on-camera interview, Larry Cohen talks about how the show came about, reveals the ending he planned but never filmed, and explains the meaning of the title.
Classic TV fans who enjoy amnesia thrillers and 1960s spy stories will find this Coronet Blue TV series a rare and worthwhile addition to a collection.

Delightfully Dated
If you’re an aficionado of 60’s TV dramas and you don’t mind having the basic question raised in the show go forever unresolved (although we do get an answer from what is now called thew “showrunner”) you very well might enjoy Coronet Blue. Yes, it’s production, dialog and acting are firmly routed in ’60’s style, I found that to add to my enjoyment of this one-season series.

enjoyable bit of 60’s Ameri can TV
In some ways, this may be called Bond-lite, but that’s not an insult. Decent writing and acting, which unfortunately became a bit circular in not leading anywhere from show to show. I am sure they hoped to be renewed. After watching one season I wonder how far the show could have gone, and how well it could have developed, had it lasted more seasons.
