I was just thinking about how most of the popular sitcoms from this decade don't appear to have a prayer of getting released. I'm not talking about obscure, short-run series either but long running and successful shows that had a lot of syndication. If we can't get the rest of LITB, what chance do the rest of these shows have?
Burns and Allen, People's Choice, Our Miss Brooks, Dobie Gillis, Life of Riley, Love The Bob, Private Secretary, The Ann Sothern Show, The Jack Benny Program, The Donna Reed Show, December Bride, Bilko, My Little Margie, The Gale Storm Show, Dennis the Menace, Bachelor Father.
All shows that ran for years in syndication and now are completely cast aside. I'd say there might be a slim chance for something like Our Miss Brooks or December Bride, only because they are owned by Paramount. Forget Fox, Universal or Sony. Maybe a Universal show if someone has a hundred 16mm prints in their garage they can lend a company for elements but that's about it.
