I'm in a very pessimistic mood today. Other than the so-called "I Love Lucy Seasons 7, 8 and 9," there haven't been any announcements for Season Sets of TV Shows from the 1950s or 1960s in quite a while. Having no word yet on "Leave It to Beaver Season 3" is also quite ominous.
I've heard that sales of some classic movies have been embarrassingly low, and it wouldn't surprise me if the same has been true for classic TV shows.
The only real hope for the future will be if companies start to make everything available for download. Of course, the downside of that is that there will probably be no restoration done and we'll just be offered old, beat-up, syndicated prints or something.
So many abandoned series ... I guess I should be grateful for what I've got, but I don't like incomplete series.
