Considering that one can buy the whole series at BestBuy for $109, I wouldn't feel too bad, even if I had purchased season one. Buy the series; sell your season 1 on Amazon, and have the whole series for little more than the price of 2 seasons from Time-Life. I have to applaud the studio for...

If they can't even finish releasing All In The Family or Taxi, I doubt a rather obscure show like this will ever see the light of [legitimate-release] day. These studios are doing to these shows what the Catholic church did to the Bible in the Middle Ages!

Depends what market one is after, I suppose. To collectors, I think it's most appealing to have shows arranged in such a way that one can buy the complete collection conveniently and arranged in an orderly and consistent manner. Some shows I see out there, are just all over the place- having...

Exactly- but they do do that with other mediums...so my faith that they will do the sensible thing with TV shows is not high. Again, look at music- they flood every medium with the newest and most popular stuff- duplicating their efforts over and over....while one really has to ferret-out the...

My fear is that they will do with TV shows what they do with music: Only the newest and/or most popular stuff gets put out for net distribution....and the less popular stuff is relegated to P2P filesharing or buying the CD (But at least with music, almost everything is available on CD- with...

I'd love to be able to see actual sales stats for various shows. If what you say is true (and it certainly would seem like the most logical explanation), then conversely, shows that sold well enough to warrant multiple seasons, should have subsequent seasons released...but this is often not...

What I'd love to see (bnut it'll never happen) are sets that have the cartoons arranged similar to the way in which they were shown in sdyndication- 23-minute eps consisting of a Bugs Bunny, with a different random cartoon following, then another Bugs! Darn, that'd be GREAT!

To snag people like me, they'd have to make a set of "Less Popular Looney Toons" or "The Ones no One Remembers" or "The Ones That Weren't Even In The Running". Seems I never like the popular ones, or the Emmy winners- Same with music- I'd never buy an albumn of #1 hits....but I'd be likely to...

Good point, Corey3rd. While I would like to see some Who's The Boss again, I surely wouldn't buy the whole series (unless it was really cheap)- but even with a series like that, I'd like to be able to pick and choose which seasons I could own. And ya never know...it's been so long since I've...

That's likely because nobody's going to pay retail for a show of which they've only released one season, with no future seasons in sight. I'm going to stop at the local Big Lots and swee if they have Who's The Boss- I had always refrained from buying it because I do not want a copllection of...

What I'd really like to see with Looney Tunes, is Burn-On-Demand. Allow us to make custom discs composed of whjatever we want from ALL of the Looney Toons cartoons! I didn't buy the Golden Collections. As much as I'd love to have an extensive collection of Looney Toons, I wasn't going to take...

Regulus, you could start your own network!!!

I've been dying to see this show again! I know the last time I saw it, my age was in the single digits. I may just buy this from the bootleggers- I've never dealt with them before- but I'm tired of these studios! Even if the studios started to release this show tomorrow...it'd probably be 8...

PS: You think these companies would wise up, and start listening to the consumers! I have never purchased a bootleg DVD in my life- always waited for the "legit" releases....but I'm so disgusted now, that if I see high-quality bootlegs, I'd have no reservations about purchasing them- and I'm...

As nice as it would be to teach these creeps a lesson- as long as they are willing to take back the merch and give you a refund, once you have had opportunity to see that the product is defective, there is no basis for a suit. The best we can do, as consumers, is to vote with our feet- and...

I concurr, Mark. What's the point of having DVDs, which, unlike video tapes, can last indefinitely- if they're going to be made to essentially be disposable? The bootlegs are looking better all the time! Sad to say, but I think we are just about at the point where bootlegs are getting to be...

EDIT- double post....

I think he meant "Rowan" :D -Maybe he's got vertical dyslexia

The Honeymooners The Twilight Zone Get Smart (It was made after I was born, but when I was too young to watch it) Father Knows Best Bugs Bunny/Looney Toons Woody Woodpecker Car 54 Where Are You? By comparison, of the shows made in the last 20 years, about the only ones I...

Good! If this is the case (that only 2 eps are mssing the extry footage) I'll buy the set and enjoy it! I'm just kind of confused: If they added footage to the show for broadcast on American commercial-free television, why did they only do so to two eps? Well, you seem to know what you're...

...but for those of us who are used to the show with the extra material, it feels like we're paying for cut episodes. And it indeed must be all episodes which are effected. It's been a while, but last time I read the reviews on Amazon of the already-released DVDs, most people were quite...

I "get" what you're saying, Andy- but what I'm saying, is that if we Americans are used to seeing the longer eps with added material....that is the format that should be released on the DVDs. What you are saying (correct me if I am wrong) is that the DVDs contain the original British edits...

I've never seen the show on HBO- only on PBS- and from reviews on Amazon, it seems that a lot of what I saw in the PBS eps was butchered when they went to DVD(I don't remember the details...but remember coming away with the idea that significant ammounts of material is missing from many eps-...

I'd love to have Mr. Bean on DVD- but if these eps are as heavily edited as the former sets...I'll continue to pass. From what I've heard, ALL the eps (on the previous releases) are heavily edited, and are missing many scenes that those of us who are used to having seen the show on PBS are...

But the mainstream middle-class and working class family-type people still are (and always will be- as long as society exists) the key demographic. Trouble is, these corps seem to just take the business of the key demographic for granted today- like Wal*Mart, McDonalds and Ford- which are...

I'm with you, Gary OS! I can see the copyrioght owners asking a small fortune for Love & Marriage (The Married...With Children theme) because it is a "standard" for which I'd assume there is still quite a demand- but the idea of a copyright holder holdiong out for exhorbitant fees for the M3S...

They release shows that are edited; they give us no guarantee that we'll ever see future seasons, and then when the shows don't sell well because of these things, they just assume that it's because no one wants these shows!! I still can not fathom how All In the Family could sell well enough...

Laura ALWAYS runs away!! (Either that...or she punches someone!) :D

I had read some reviews warning of that, too- so I was a little leary of buying the set myself- but when it arrived, it seemed as sturdy as any other set...and I've had it for just about a year now- and it's still like new. I wonder if earlier sets were shoddy, and they later fixxed the problem...
