There are a number of short subjects that if packaged in a collection, I would purchase. I also believe they would do well simply because I read comments at multiple forums asking for them. Folks like Leon Errol, Edgar Kennedy, Charley Chase, ZaSu Pitts, Robert Benchley were all very, very funny and if some of them are on the verge of being forgotten it's about time we're reminded who they were. On the drama side, the CRIME DOES NOT PAY series was also quite well done and deserves more exposure.

The Henry Alrdich series is under the control of Universal/MCA, the film's copyrights have been renewed by them so they would be the ones to contact and voice your support for dvd release. I for one would buy them in a heartbeat! I am surprised TCM has not shown them!

Given that Universal has put out innumerable franchise collections, I'm rather surprised this didn't get released. Perhaps the elements are in poor shape? I've also read that some of these collections didn't do well at retail so Universal may be skittish at releasing something that isn't too well known today.
