Wow. I don't know whether to be excited or not. I was just visiting TVShowsonDVD.com and saw that an official Petticoat Junction release is coming. I would much rather have The Beverly Hillbillies but this will do in the interim. I'm rather disappointed, however, to see that this is nothing more than a Best of... release. Now I'm undecided as to whether I should buy it or not. If it was a season set, I would definitely jump all over it (provided the episodes are complete). I want this show, but I hate to support Best of... sets as it only encourages studios to do more of the same.
For now, TVShowsonDVD is unsure if this release is coming from MGM or Paramount. I'd guess that it's MGM even though Paramount has the syndication rights. MGM previously did a Best of Mister Ed set (which I didn't buy, but would have had it been a season set) and I don't recall Paramount doing any Best of... sets to this point (plus it wasn't on Paramount's 2005 release list). But whoever is responsible, I think they're making a big mistake not going with season sets.
(Sigh) Well, I guess I've got a while to decide one way or the other. Anybody else torn between really wanting this show but not wanting a Best of... set?
