It sure is quiet about the Love Boat on DVD.....I wonder if there is a rights issue?
Anybody in the know??

I would think that maybe FANTASY ISLAND didn't sell well. There was a sort of preliminary announcement that it was possibly in the works, but then nothing.

I would think the Love Boat would sell better....I hope it comes out soon!

Yes I've since have been on 2 cruises and on my 3rd this Xmas. I hope we hear something soon on this. I really enjoy cruises.

Got a bit off-track there, including missing my favorite line about "life's sweetest reward". I must sing this song at least a couple of times a month. Here's the proper lyrics:

Despite reports from Sept. 2005 that it was coming, originated at SitcomsOnline, we've heard nothing about this pretty much for forever.

But with Paramount getting ready to finish up Charmed, and with 90210, Melrose and Dynasty pretty much under way, maybe there's room on PHE's schedule soon for another Spelling show, eh?

I'd like to humbly point out to PHE that the one news item we posted a year and a half ago for The Love Boat has more hits than the typical news post for just about anything except maybe Charmed (which is still the most-voted-for show at our site). Hmmmm.

With cruise ship lines having gotten so competitive, one would think that the Princess Lines firm would throw some money Paramount's way to put out the DVD of Love Boat, since it's a possible way to "advertise" for people to consider taking a cruise on a modern-day ship in the Princess fleet!!

I think The Love Boat is one of those series that would do terribly on DVD.
After all, it been played endlessly to death in TV syndication since ABC cancelled weekly production in 1986. There have been TV movie sequels on the same network and the completely avoidable UPN sequel "Love Boat: The Next Wave" series.

And in recent years TV Land reran the original series for extended periods. No doubt they will bring it back again.

The only hour-long comedy series that I believe would sell well on DVD is Ally McBeal. But due to their cheapness in obtaining most of the music rights by the original artists, FOX shot themselves in the feet by releasing a "Best Of" with that series rather than coming out with the complete first season instead.
