He didn't own a piece of the show, but I had heard years ago that the reason that Seasons 6 and 7 were not in syndication were because of issues with his estate.

The problem might be that there are no new masters for those seasons. Nick@NIte only ran S8 and there may also be issues with the Bob Crane estate. I do hope I'm wrong, though. I would LOVE MPI to release every episode of Donna.

Seasons 5 and 6 of Make Room For Daddy have been available for years. I got my copies for $6.99 each on eBay a few years back, although I've only watched a few so far. There are also various public domain releases out there that contain a few of the earlier Jean Hagen episodes.

Got mine and looked through it already. The quality of the vintage promos and commercials, etc. is excellent and I love the neat, slim packaging (it's identical to MPI's "Here's Lucy" sets). I uploaded some screen captures to my Amazon review a little while ago. My only complaint--that I'm so...

I agree--I am not about to take MPI to task just because they were "off" by one season. If they used a S1 or S7-8 pic that would be different, but I still wouldn't harp on it. MPI's cover art has always been visually pleasing no matter for which TV series it was created. Just grateful they are...

MPI has always done a fantastic job on box art--at least on the sets I own from them (Here's Lucy, Family Affair, Mothers-in-Law, Doris Day). Hopefully they can get some rare color photos for the cover. I know that color shots from this series are extremely hard to come by. There are some...

Let's not forget how long MPI made us wait for The Mothers-In-Law but it was well worth it in the end. I think the source material they are working with may need a lot of work to bring it up to their standards. Also, when Virgil had Donna Reed, they also kept delaying the release dates for every...

I read somewhere else that "Shelley is not a computer person" so perhaps she is not aware of the fan hype surrounding these releases. Last I saw of her was on the 2010 TV Land Awards. She was not featured but was in the audience with husband Mike Farrell who was among the honorees for MASH.

ABC took Donna reruns off-air early in 1968, because they had been rerunning it daily since 1964 and they stood to profit from huge ratings by starting to rerun the Seasons 1-3 episodes of Bewitched in that time slot. Bewitched would continue in daily reruns on ABC until the fall of 1973 when...

This is terrific news! While I'd love the whole series on DVD, it's a relief to know at least we'll be getting all the Shelley Fabares episodes. Donna is just too good a series to have it abandoned after 3 releases. There are still many more excellent episodes to come and it would have been so...
