Fox and MTM company.

Are any of you guys as upset as me in the way that FOX are releasing shows from the MTM enterprise....
First of all, the Mary Tyler Moore Show, they have stopped and started it, it is a fantastic show I am really disappointed that we wont be seeing any more seasons.
Secondly the Bob Newhart Show again, 4 seasons released no more in sight... Even Bob Newhart commented on this.
Third we have Newhart, will we see any more releases of this great series?
Fourth Rhoda a great show, no news nothing.. Just faded away
Fifth Phyllis again same as Rhoda
Sixth Lou Grant, as above
Seventh Hill Street Blues, released 2 seasons no more in sight. Now every time I buy one of these there is a leaflet inside with a slogan "Bring Back The Good Ole Days" - well FOX how about living up to your slogan and bringing them all back on DVD rather than just MASH.
I am a younger fan of all of these shows and havent seen them before at all, they are not on TV in the UK so I am really disappointed that these great shows are being neglected.
Come on FOX, release them already!!! Especially as Bob Newhart said that amazon are urging them to released more of TBNS.. Any thoughts?

Re: Fox and MTM company.

I would dearly love Lou Grant to be released.

I have them on tape and have been putting off copying them to DVD; but how long should I wait, I wonder.

I agree, about MTM Show, Hill Street Blues and St Elsewhere (which you don't mention).

Yeah I forgot about St Elsewhere and WKRP, I have put off buying the two purely because of this reason.

Re: Fox and MTM company.

I didn't buy WKRP because the release was the travesty to end all travesties.

Fox seems to hold all its TV catalog properties in contempt or at least take their very existence for granted. They offer Nanny & the Professor on iTunes and hulu.com and obviously did not remaster. They put the pilot for Anna and the King on the 50th Anniversary DVD of The King and I, and it looks like it was run over by a garbage truck. Fans of the Irwin Allen series they own are not exactly thrilled with them either. Everything else is pretty much dead and buried to them, and I would hate to see the MTM library go down that road.

STOP THE MADNESS! STOP THE BUTCHERING AND ABANDONMENT OF TV SHOWS ON DVD!
