Not to derail this thread, but with Betty White's popularity at an all-time high, it is both baffling and amazing that Fox can't get it together to release the remaining seasons of the Mary Tyler Moore show. The unreleased seasons prominently feature Sue Ann Nivens and even a half-baked TV ad...

Just a guess on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if music licensing is the sticking point here. The brilliant Harry Nilsson score is so much a part of the show and since his album catalog has been largely out of print for most of the digital age, I'd say it doesn't bode well. Too bad. This...

UPS out of New Jersey and a Friday delivery for me, too!

Everything may still be okay, Gary. I assume B&N operates like Amazon, so orders are being filled and shipped out from multiple warehouse locations around the country. Depending on the timezone (and who's handling the delivery UPS, USPS, etc) the emails my not go out until the packages are...

I just received the shipping notice for a June 12 order that replaced my original June 2 order. I canceled the earlier one to take advantage of the even LOWER price Brian alerted us to. LITB:TCS delivered for $89.36... WOW! The only downside for me is that I won't be back in the states until...

Obviously, the folks at Shout! Factory are great fans of LITB. The reviews and clips look sensational! I think this set clearly has the makings of vintage "release of the year" written all over it! Wow! I can't wait to get my hands on my series set!

Joe, I think it works as Brian explained. When you place your order, they "authorize" the purchase with your card-holder (to ascertain that all the card information provided is correct and that the necessary funds are available). Depending on store policy, you will not be charged until the item...

There are no extras at all in the Complete Second Season, and IIRC, the only extra in the Complete First Season is the original LITB pilot episode, "It's A Small World". The only other extra I can think of is the "special edition" packaging for the first season. The transfers are a hit-and-miss...

Wow! What a deal! $89.36 shipped! Thanks, Brian! Now I'm off to cancel my earlier order...

Hmm... My B&N total came to $105.74, and I live about a quarter mile from a B&M store. The tax seems low to me ($4.29), but I didn't do anything special. I just used the link provided up-post to get it for $101.45. So, who knows how they compute these things? Free express (1-3 business days)...

Someone posted about the Netflix LITBs in this thread back in July. At least that's when I became aware of it...

Well, this is a bummer no matter how you look at it. Thank you, David, for tracking down the information for us (no matter how bad the "news" turned out to be.) Not to single out the Beav, but I can't help wonder how much of an adverse effect all of these stalled and abandoned TV on DVD...

I am by no means a "student of the industry" but I did read something recently (although I don't recall where but I am sure it was not in a trade publication) about how complete series sets were the new bright spot for TV on DVD retail and that many more sets are being prepared for the upcoming...

Thanks for the heads-up! I watched the first two season 3 episodes yesterday. I will be very busy on Netflix for the next several weeks!

I added all fours seasons to my Q, but they are located in a separate section called "Saved DVDs." Under the header, "Availability," it reads, "Unknown." So, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens...

I've been saying the same thing for a couple of years now. In point of fact, Universal already has its own direct imprint line, Hip-O and Hip-O Select. It baffles the mind to think that Universal can see its way clear to release something like this on Hip-O Select, but question the viability of...

Good point, David. I was thinking about MTM while reading Gary's earlier post (re: the high list price of LITB season 1.) There is no doubt in my mind that the (initial) steep msrp for MTM season 1 hurt sales. I am a huge TV on DVD fan with over 150 season sets in my library, but I never took...

Just guessing here, but what if they had to use a differen't film stock or perhaps even a differen't camera for soundstage shots versus the backlot scenes. Maybe back in the day of "low-def" TV broadcasts the difference was not as noticeable as it is today on DVD.

First off, let me say for the record that I am the last person to come to the defense of Universal. I was, after all, very VOCAL in my disdain for their DVD-18 approach to the first two seasons of Leave It to Beaver. But, no matter how lame I think the studio may be, even Universal must...
