Sorry about being the bearer of bad news.  Trust me, I'd rather be able to say my crystal ball is seeing all these shows coming, but it just isn't.  As for the two you mentioned, neither are stone cold locks, but Barnaby has a 50/50 chance according to what I'm seeing.  Not so sure about Streets of SF.  I think a lot of this depends on the economy.  If there's an upswing many of us will be happy.  If not, I look for an even leaner year for classics from CBS/P.  As it stands as of this moment, sure fire releases for vintage shows are few and far between from the studio.  Having said that, my crystal ball says Shout and Timeless will continue to bless us with solid, vintage releases this year.

I am not surprised with the slow down in releases. All you have to do is look at Jan-Apr/11 and see the releases are very light. I remember Jan-Apr being very hot time period for dvd releases. Sept-Nov was another hot period. I am using this year to close out some of sets this year, like Emergency!, Dallas, Voyage to bottom of the sea. I may also looked at Mission Impossible and Man from Uncle. I am now just shopping for bargains, because i am not sure Streets of San Francisco/Cannon will see any more releases this year. As i always say It is, what it is.

That's a good point Jack, I prefer it too and would love them to give it another crack full seasons or split volumes, no matter how odd those decisions may sometimes be. We should be happy to get them at all, even not remastered I'd gladly have it continue. Maybe the three surviving main cast members could rejoin for some DVD features, along the lines of the Mannix or Hawaii-Five-O extras. I can't recall ever reading so many positive reviews on Amazon and elsewhere from viewers revisiting a classic TV show on release, but of course only the sales numbers count and maybe they just didn't meet CBS expectations and their hard figure demands. If so, it's such a waste. Would be great with more StreetsofSF too, and a nice gift for Michael who's doing better now, although the stories truthfully got weak and took a severe nose dive starting season 4.

Is there any hope CBS will put out Cannon Season 3 Volume 1 in 2012 or licence it to Shout Factory. Also what about Barnaby Jones Season 2 and The Streets of San Francisco Season 3.

I don't think either is likely to happen, unfortunately.

Jay, I don't have any news or hope, but Cannon and Barnaby Jones are two shows that I would love to see further releases of, so it was nice to at least hear someone else express interest in them. Unfortunately I don't think CBS is interested.

I'd also love to see some more of these Quinn Martin shows. They were all a childhood viewing staple.
