 I was knocked out by the Dick Powell's Zane Grey dvds. What a terrific series, and hopefully we'll have more in store...

Any word on future releases (seasons) of Burke's Law and Zane Grey Theater?

I am among those who now believe that Fox is not licensing out the second season of "Burke's Law" to VCI just as they have also decided not to license out "Peyton Place" for further releases to Shout!     We have gone way too long without even a hint of a suggestion that VCI will release S2 (and this is all that matters to me;  I can live without the misguided S3 Secret Agent shows) so unfortunately that's necessitated my going another route for the remaining episodes (For now at least).

There's no evidence of this.

Fox is in business to make money,and they continue to licence other series to SHOUT!

It may be more realistic to believe it's a sales vs. licencing fees costs and/or both SHOUT and VCI being overloaded with upcoming titles (SHOUT! with TV,and VCI with features and serials.)

Burke's Law was always listed as a top seller at VCI for months after it came out and when I made an inquiry to them over a year ago about S2 they gave a neutral-positive indicator that it would be coming at some point.

On Peyton Place, we saw the word on Shout's board that Fox was not licensing them any more episodes at this point and the implication was this was a unilateral move on Fox's part.

At any rate this matter with what's happened to Burke's Law I think has gotten a bit underreported compared to the concerns about the final eps. of Voyage, more Peyton Place etc.

I just heard back from VCI customer service.    I think this is further proof that Fox is putting up the road block at this point to keep things only in the "talks" phase at this point, more than a year after the last release.

Hello,

hank you for your email. We are still in talks with the studio about getting Season Two of Burke’s Law. There is no word yet.

 

Thanks

Customer Service

There is nothing on the Burke's Law DVD packaging that gives any indication whatsoever that this series was licensed from or through Fox. I just have a feeling that not all Four Star shows are completely under Fox's control. The Rifleman for instance.

I can't imagine what "studio" VCI would have to be in talks with other than Fox.

I just got this reply from VCI Customer Service which confirms once and for all that it is Fox that they have been licensing this and other Four Star shows from and that they are "still in talks".      Fox is evidently giving VCI the same treatment they're giving Shout over "Peyton Place."

 

 

 

 

Hello,

Thank you for your email.  We are still in talks with Fox Studio. There is no word yet. I am like you, I would love to see more seasons, so keep your fingers crossed.

 

Thanks
