Man, do I want this set. I really hope we get more seasons. The first three are among the favorites in my TV on DVD collection.
I recently saw a stack of Seasons 1-3 (along with the Mr. Ed sets) at Costco being blown out at $12.99 each. Not sure what that signifies. Either the studio has truckloads of remainders they're trying to unload and have given up on the series, or they're offering them at a cheap price to expand the potential audience for future seasons.
I'm still hopeful, since it doesn't seem like we would have got Season 2 if Season 1 wasn't profitable, nor S3 if S2 didn't sell.
Also, I'm not sure how the whole Sony-MGM-Fox home video distribution dust-up may be affecting MGM's release schedule.
Since MGM is moving home video distribution from Sony (who, it turns out, only owns 20% of MGM...not a controlling amount of interest!) to Fox, things may start to pick up on MGM releases.
Jack: Please, PLEASE put a question mark in your thread's subject if you are asking a question, rather than passing on news. Everyone gets upset if you don't! Thanks,
Well, there were 14 months between S1 and S2, then 9 months between S2 and S3. So assuming a minimum of 9 months, the next release wouldn't be due until September or October.
I'm wanting to get this entire series as well. One thing I've seen with this business since I started collecting TV/DVD: "Predictable, it ain't" :rolleyes
I'm up for a Christmas release. I think that if they actually got up to season THREE, then they must be selling okay. I'm pretty sure we'll see a season 4 by the end of the year. I don't want to be stuck with just the first half of the show; like the rest of you, I want the whole series!
^I wish I could say that... Other than Green Acres I have ~20 series I'd love to see become unstalled so I could complete their runs. At least half of those I'd double dip for a complete series should it ever be released that way and *that* list includes Green Acres. Are you listening, Shout!?
It's a shame how the rural comedies have stalled out. I'd buy the rest of Green Acres, Petticoat Junction and The Beverly Hillbillies if they were only made available (and I know I'm not alone).
