Re: Lots of 80's sitcoms..Where's Mr. Belvedere?

Right now, I will be shocked if this set doesn't sell well. A few people on Shout! Factory's forums were talking about how well it seems to be doing on Amazon.com.

If that's the case, then that pretty much puts the B.S. theory that "if a rarely syndicated show gets put on DVD, it will automatically bomb" to rest

So for those of you who are watching the season set, tell us if the show has held up well at all or is it "80's cheesy" as I fear ?

As I wrote in my review, I was shocked by how well it held up. I had written it off, yet honestly enjoyed rewatching it.

I also am hoping for Season 3.

The show held up for me even better than I remembered. There were a few chessey moments here and there but mostly the jokes and humor were better than I remembered. There was more adult humor than I picked up on when I watched when I was young. Can't wait for season 3!

I think it's held up well, too. In the episodes I've watched, there aren't many references that would date the series. I'm also catching more adult humor than I'd remembered, likely due to my age during the original run. Most of the "situations" are fairly timeless and applicable to any family at any time (except, perhaps, for the "teen daughter wanting her own phone line" scenes; they all have cell phones these days).

Shout Factory is running a poll to get votes on which season of the series they're handling fans want released next. "Mr. Belevedere" is currently in the lead.

Mr. Belvedere DVD news: Announcement for Mr. Belvedere - Season 3 | TVShowsOnDVD.com

Season 3 coming this September.

Cover artwork looks just as great as the first one. Seeing that the shows' opening and closing credits changed completely for seasons 3 and up, it's no wonder why they went with this photo.

I hope there are some commentaries this time - Brice Beckham (Wesley) had some good shows in Season 3.

Glad to see season three is coming out so quickly after the first set. I finally got around to picking up the first set a couple weeks ago and watched the first episode the other night. It was the first time I'd seen an episode since it left syndication, so it was definitely good to finally see the show again.
Does anyone even click on these "My Collection" links?

 Haven't seen any reviews (which would indicate running times) anywhere.

I have the set.  Runtimes are all over 23 minutes.  No indication of any edits anywhere, including music.

i received my copy this week of season #3. I watch a few episodes, especially around Mr Belverdere gets deported. So, still found the series very funny and hope shout releases more of it down the road. We are halfway through the releases of the season with only 3 more to go.

How are the commentaries - do they talk about being cancelled (and revived) after the third season and being disrespected by the network and the critics?
