I recently went on Shout! Factory's Facebook Page to ask them a couple of questions on some stalled "Holy Grail" Shows being released on DVD. I specifically asked about "One Day At A Time" and "The Drew Carey Show". But I did see someone else asked about the Cloris Leachman sitcom "Phyllis" and I tagged onto the question and asked about the 5th Season of "Rhoda". Like it or not, here was Shout! Factory's answers:
QUESTION to Shout! Factory:
Any chance will be seeing a complete series set of "One Day At A Time" this holiday season? Since you have already released "All In The Family", "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman", "The Jeffersons" and "Maude", I believe this is one of the last popular Norman Lear series you haven't released yet.
ANSWER From Shout! Factory:
No chance of that, sorry.
QUESTION to Shout! Factory:
Any chance of the MTM series "Phyllis" being released on DVD? Along with the 5th and last season of "Rhoda"?
ANSWER From Shout! Factory:
No plans for those that I'm aware of, sorry.
QUESTION to Shout! Factory:
Any word that you will get the rights to "The Drew Carey Show" and release a complete series box set?
ANSWER From Shout! Factory:
No word, but it's on our radar for sure.
Now I do realize that "The Drew Carey Show" is a Warner Brother's property, but I had asked last week about "Knots Landing" (which is also a Warner Brothers property) to Shout! Factory (which was also a "no - go" from them as well). However, Warner Brothers has license the rights to Shout! Factory for other shows such as "Welcome Back Kotter" (just last year) and a 90's comedy starring SNL player Norm McDonald, "Norm". Both shows received complete series sets. That's why I asked Shout! Factory about "The Drew Carey Show", which I felt a "little" hopeful that they have an eye for this show.
I was not surprised by the answers for "Phyllis" and "Rhoda". However, the biggest surprise (and disappointment) was the answer for "One Day At A Time". I thought for sure with all the other Norman Lear shows released around the holidays as complete series sets, "One Day At A Time" would be the next one.....apparently it is not!!!
