Totally agree with this.. This was also a blind buy for me and I have really enjoyed it. I can't get enough of classic 50's and 60's television!!!

Here's to hoping we really do see Season 4 in the near future.  I love this series and will buy as much as is released.

Mark, as a writer I tend to be sensitive to punctuation use and abuse, but I was only teasing, and thought the use of an exclamation point in my post would bear that out.  You seemed to take it in the intended spirit, but just in case,  I hope you know I was not trying to "rain on your parade."   !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much Jeff!!!! And the parade is getting bigger and bigger, but before I can talk about it freely on this forum, the details need to be finalized!! All I can say is- I am feeling Euphoric!!!!!

I'm really glad Season Four is happening! I have always wanted to see this show and thanks to Hulu.com Seasons 1 and 2 are up. I'm about halfway through Season 1 and I think I'm going to have to ask for Seasons 1-3 for Christmas! I'm really grateful for Mary Owen and her siblings because I'm pretty sure they are the reason this show is up on Hulu!

 

By the way who owns seasons 6-8?

I just wanted to say that things are still running smoothly concerning the release of 'Season 4' in regards to "The Donna Reed Show." This project is being treated with much care, since there is such a rare releasing of episodes involved on this DVD Product! I am so grateful that this 'Fourth Season' release isn't being handled in a careless and frivolous manner which would have been so very disappointing!!! You 'Donna Reed Show Fans' who are having a rather difficult time in waiting for this DVD to be released, well believe me when I say, that I quite seriously know what your going through because I am in the very same boat!!! I am so hoping that it will be released sometime in the early part of next year, but we will just have to wait and see what the actual release date will be... I've heard nothing so far regarding the release date except for it being in 2011. You can bet that I'll come running to the "Home Theater Forum" if I hear any kind of a firm hint in regards to an actual planned release date!!! smile.gif

It would be more easy to believe all of this if an actual company doing the set was being named. The number one problem that hurts DVD releases is distribution. It could be the greatest release in the world but without the proper distribution in place, its not going to sell very much. The few dozen people who might read about it here or on sitcomsonline are not going to make a release successful. It has to get out in the mainstream marketplace and that requires a company that has distribution deals set up everywhere.

I'd like to see a name mentioned too. Aren't there several songs that need to be licensed (Including Johnny Angel?). I imagine that could easily run past $100,000 in licensing cost for the music.

 

I sure hope they find a good partner and that we actually start hearing some concrete information soon about this. It's hard picturing them going alone with it. It's not going to be easy to do, which I guess is why I'm still somewhat skeptical it's going to happen.

Hey Neil, and Everyone!!! I have some FANTASTIC NEWS FOR YOU!!!!!! MPI is maping out plans to release 'SEASON 4' and 'SEASON 5' of the Donna Reed Show!!!!!! Mary Owen who is Donna Reed's Daughter, is working with Jim Pierson of MPI Media Group!!! Mary has given the 'Okay' for this news to be Released!!!!! Here is the 'First Comment' from Mary on "Facebook" as follows: Having dinner with Jim Pierson of MPI Media Group! Jim says, "We are mapping out plans for Season 4 and 5 and we are very excited about this"!! Mary was hoping 'SEASON 4' would be released by Mother's Day, 2011, but this date maybe too soon she says, since 'SEASON 4' still needs much work! I'll come back later with more comments on this subject. So many comments from the 'Donna Reed Show Fans' in regards to this 'Great News' are just pouring into Facebook!!!

Sounds good, I think MPI would be a pretty decent partner for this show.

 

Thanks for passing that along to us. You should submit that as news to the TVShowsOnDvd site since I'm sure they'd love to pass it along to everyone.

MPI has done a decent job on Here's Lucy, Color Honeymooners, and other shows.

 

It'll be nice to see them get Donna Reed going again.

On this forum, I suggested the Donna Reed heirs use Lucille Ball's heirs as role models ... and it seems as if they are, going with MPI which did "Here's Lucy."  Now they have to be willing to spend some money on restoration and not just pull crummy old syndicated prints off the shelves.

This is terrific news! While I'd love the whole series on DVD, it's a relief to know at least we'll be getting all the Shelley Fabares episodes. Donna is just too good a series to have it abandoned after 3 releases. There are still many more excellent episodes to come and it would have been so frustrating to have them sit in the vaults where no one can appreciate and enjoy them.

MPI won't disappoint either--I have their sets of Mothers-in-Law, Family Affair, Doris Day and Here's Lucy and all are wonderful.

This is good news indeed!  Knowing the distributor makes all the difference in my excitment level as I've yet to be disappointed with a MPI release.  Looks like I'll be moving this one back to the "ongoing" list. :)

I agree except for the Doris Day show.  They used cut prints for all five seasons!

      Not cut, I don't believe, but timesped. Those were the old Worldvision sped up 1-inch transfers, similar to what was used for the first 4 seasons of the Combat DVDs. As I don't really have any Doris Day Shows from off 16mm, I can't do a side-by-side comparison like I did with Combat just to confirm that no footage is missing. But I'm pretty sure they are sped up and not cut up.

OK ... I knew they ran short.  I dislike timesped episodes just as much as cut ones.
