Makes you wonder what Sony's plans are for that Erin Murphy tour...you know that wasn't done for nothing. What about "Tabitha and Adam with the Clown Family" added as well?

If Sony was to announce a complete series set. and have these openings at least as "extras", would that affect your decision to buy the complete series, even if you already own all the seasons? For me, yes, as I love the original themes that much.

I guess I'm chopped liver regarding this campaign........LOL Long Live The Donna Reed Show :)

Of course, the cat is out of the bag that MPI has struck a deal with the Donna Reed/Tony Owen heirs to bring seasons 4 and 5 out on DVD. Hopefully sales will be good to encourage MPI to seek out to license seasons 6-8 from Sony--that may be the bigger obstacle in the long haul. But in the...

if CBS continues to issue them, I will buy them-just because I'm basically like to finish what I start. But if CBS stops at season 3 or 4, I won't cry too many tears.

I still have more faves coming up in Season 3, so I am enjoying this. Had Lucy decided to stop this series when Vivian Vance departed, I think people would have a more enjoyable view of this series and it would have had a more successful life in syndication. Just my view--no need for debate. I...

First off, Mary Owen did not solicit anyone, much less me, on trying to get her mother's show on DVD. She stated the case that she and her siblings would like to put out seasons 4 and 5 themselves. The experience with Virgil soured them on distributors in general (and I do know the reasons, but...

Well we can agree to disagree....what is very good to you, is great to me, so that's that! LOL I do think Lucy is right in that her character was never characterized as a poor cook before and now all of sudden we are supposed to believe, for this one episode, she can't make a simple cake? Viv...

Mary has indeed confirmed that Sony owns seasons 6-8.

I will have to ask Mary to make sure. If it is Sony, then we more than likely can petition Shout! to license seasons 6-8, after we get seasons 4 and 5 from the Reed/Owen heirs.

I think Season 2 has many great episodes! Yes, Kiddie Parties Inc. is one....and the season ender Lucy enters a Baking Contest is one of my personal faves (it's here where Viv is quite the nasty one to Lucy) I'm really not too fond of the season opener where Lucy plays Cleopatra in a...

Loving this set--so many faves plus I finally get to see a few "lost" episodes--episodes I missed during my taping of the Nick at Nite era. I sneaked a peek at the Lucille Ball Comedy Hour--WOW, is that a pristine copy or what??? The episodes look glorious and it is nice to see the original 2nd...

I pre-ordered this one and it is about the closest to a blind buy I've ever done for a TV DVD set. I've seen maybe 2-3 episodes at the most of this one. But with this cast, plus Desi making guest appearances and that superb price--could not pass this up!

Good news! Mary Owen, Donna Reed's daughter has joined the Facebook campaign. She also confirmed that she and her siblings own seasons 4 and 5 and would love to release the DVDs themselves, instead of relying on another distributor. She is asking for advice and help on getting this accomplished...

Thanks Bob and Joanne for your replies as well......

Yes, indeed, Patti's joining the page makes at least three cast members--Paul and Janet Landgard are there too. And thanks to the webmaster of "The Donna Reed Show Page" for placing a banner encouraging visitors to join the campaign!

I haven't seen them at all, Rob! LOL..... But those seasons I take it are under Sony's ownership and that will be whole another ball game if we ever get seasons 4 and 5 out there.

Neil, you are entitled to your opinion. But I do enjoy both shows and I certainly would love to see the Jean Hagen seasons officially released but that is a headache caused by the Danny Thomas estate..LOL. So, thanks.

First off, I am glad for those of you who are supportive of this effort. I'm sorry that some of you think an Internet campaign is ineffective or a moot point. Whatever. I know the reasons why Virgil Films has decided not to release seasons 4 and 5, but I've made a confidentiality pact with...

Up to 142 people now have joined the page. no one here has any comments about seeing Donna Reed seasons 4 and on? Esp since season 4 was never syndicated or reran during the Nick at Nite days?

Hopefully the word will keep spreading and people will keep finding the page and clicking "like". Each one of you here that does this, keeps up the hope that CBS will pay attention.

I've heard CBS wasn't exactly thrilled with the sales for season 2. But I hope to keep getting people to join us. If a Facebook campaign can get Betty White to host SNL, we can get a show we like out on DVD too!!

We have two cast members on board--one of them being Paul Petersen himself`! if you have any way to contact other cast members--please help us.

It would be nice if anyone is able to contact Linda Kaye Henning, Lori Saunders, Mike Minor or any of the other surviving cast members to let them know we need their input and support!

Hi gang, I've started a Facebook page designed to get the attention of Shout! Factory or MPI in obtaining the rights to the remaining seasons of The Donna Reed Show. The more people we get, the better we have a shot at getting one of these companies to take this seriously...

Hi gang, I started a Facebook campaign designed to get CBS' attention that we want more Petticoat Junction. So the more that sign up, the better it will be. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Bring-Petticoat-Junction-Season-3-to-DVD/109613135750733?ref=ts Thanks and spread the...

Season 1 had the kids laughing on the stairs (the Kent cigarette opening had Jim with a cigarette in hand) Season 2 had the kids standing by the split style kitchen door Season 3 had the family gathering around the couch Season4, 5, and 6 had the kids coming through the dining room...

not a make or break for me either, Gary. I've seen the original season 3 credits on a FKB website. According to the SitcomsOnline review, all the episode have the syndicated season 1 opening tacked on.....reminds me of Sony's laziness with the Bewitched openings. It's not a major thing, but I...

does anyone know if the set has any of the sponsor openings? I for one would love to see something besides the season 1 opening tacked on to every episode. Just my thoughts.

Well my source is EF Hutton and EF Hutton says..... :laugh: I just dug out my old "Harry and Wally's Favorite TV Shows" reference book (c 1989) and it says the show had 36 episodes, so if that is true, maybe Shout! is saving this show for its own eventual release--who knows. But I don't...
