YES
Wait till Gary reads this one! I'm in for this set if it happens. I like the last 2 seasons the best but I'll still get the complete series.

I'm very excited about this report, but I'm gonna play it cool until we get a little more info. If this turns out to be true then you know I'll be dancing all over the place, Jeff.

A tip of the hat to you, Brad. Good job!
The only reason I'm a tad cautious is that I remember reading a report about this time last year (at least I think it was last year and not '07) about a huge mega set of LITB coming out and it never happened. On the other hand, maybe that report really did have legs at the time and the set just got pushed back an entire year or so. Don't know for sure. But it really would be great if this turned out to be true. I'd gladly double-dip on the first 2 seasons to get the entire series in one fell swoop.

And I contributed, too. I just bought S1 last week.

As much as I hate to have to say it (because I so wish I felt differently), I think Danny's illustration is quite appropriate. Even if Jerry Mathers was somehow told that Universal was looking into a complete mega set of LITB, that doesn't mean it's official by any stretch of the imagination. I wish I could get more excited about this possibility, but until we get more info I'm not getting my hopes too high.

Sorry, couldn't resist that one.... I also agree with Danny on all points.

The only hope for this one is if Uni liscenses it out to someone like Shout! for further releases.
My guess on the Uni sales #'s is that the sets were priced outside a lot of collector's budgets at the time of the releases. Another reason for the lower #'s is that perhaps this show was run so much in syndication that it may have softened the sales #'s by some amount.
That said, maybe that's not the case since other shows like Bewitched have been heavily syndicated over the years and we have to figure that Sony's sales #'s were enough to support the entire series releases.
As for Beaver, I'd pay almost any price for a complete series release or the later seasons if they are remastered uncut episodes.
