The Life & Times of Grizzly Adams
Does anyone remember this wonderful show from the 1970's? Dan Haggerty, Denver Pyle & Ben... The theme song was great. It had incredible photography, shot in the mountains. Do you know who owns the rights? This is a show I would love to see come out on DVD. Anybody with me on this one?
I just have to say that 2004 has been a wonderful year for releases and continues to amaze me: Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, Kung-Fu, Starsky & Hutch, Jetsons... still to come: Partridge Family, Land of the Lost, The Munsters and many others... my wallet keeps getting lighter and lighter!

I remember this, and yes, it would be cool to have on DVD.

The show was independently produced and aired on NBC. It appears that the rights are held by none other than Grizzly Adams Productions. You can find out more by going here:

With Little House on the Prairie and now The Waltons on DVD, this can't be far behind, right?

Count me in on a purchase.
Their was a movie in 2000 called "Escape to Grizzly Mountain" that starred Dan Haggerty, but was not Grizzly Adams(well sort of). Here is a description:
Jimmy, a young boy trying to gain acceptance from his peers, is horrified when he sees a circus trainer abusing a bear cub. One of the circus employees tells Jimmy that there is a magic cave in the hills nearby that can transport people to another time, and that maybe he can use it to help the bear. Jimmy does some exploring, finds the cave, and is amazed to find himself transported back to the early 1800's where he encounters Jeremiah, a nature-loving mountain man with a bear friend of his own. Jeremiah agrees to come to the future and help out Jimmy, but the 21st century is quite different from the 19th, and springing the bear cub will not be as easy as Jeremiah thinks. Not in any way related to the "Grizzly Adams" television series.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

I did a review of Escape to Grizzly Mountain some time ago. Seemed cheesier than I remember Grizzly Adams, but I haven't seen that show in decades.

Interesting stuff... I didn't realize there were a couple of movies made by Dan Haggerty in the same vein as Grizzly Adams. I too have not seen this show on re-runs anywhere for many, many years. Does anyone know where you can catch Grizzly Adams on television these days? Yet another reason why this "classic" should be released on DVD asap. I hope what someone said in an earlier post that since Little House and The Waltons have come to dvd this series will not be far behind.
p.s. - isn't it funny that some of the best tv shows that we grew up with -- watching them as first generation or second generation re-runs, many of these great shows only had a two season run: Munsters, Addams Family, Monkees, Grizzly Adams. I'm sure you could probably add more to that list.
