They do use priority mail. I got my set within 3 days of ordering it. As with Seasons 2 and 3 the transfers are great. The only big difference is the switch to an amaray style case instead of the slim cases used in Seasons 1-3. Looking at how well done Seasons 2-4 are, I'm still baffled...

Season 3 has been announced: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Rhoda-Season-3/13482 I've read that they really did go all out to get restored uncut prints for Season 2. I hope that they have invested a similar level of effort into Season 3. Sales numbers must not be an issue with this set given...

On the Shout Factory Website they've already addressed the question likely on the minds of many as to whether or not this Season 2 release will have the same issues as Season 1 did. I'm encouraged by their response. Seems like they took the fan complaints to heart. Here's a quote: I can...

So there WILL be a Season 2. I was skeptical that there would be after the debacle with Season 1. Here's hoping they get it right and have all UNCUT eps this go round. This is my favorite 70s sitcom along with the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Here's the announcement...

Looks like this has been delayed until 2nd quarter of next year, but for good reason. They are re-mastering the episodes and preparing additional extras. Hopefully it will be worth the wait. I've heard a lot about this show, and love 60's era sitcoms, but have never seen this one. I look...

I fully agree with that sentiment and am baffled about why they didn't apply that logic to the first set. Several people that post on this board and others cancelled their pre-orders when the reviews of S1 came out.So they unquestionably lost sales because of it. I don't have the Father Knows...

"Mistake" was my word not theirs...perhaps I should have used a more appropriate term. Semantics aside, I'm glad that they are at least listening to the fans and making a concerted effort to do better the second time around.

According to a posting by one of the Shout Factory staff members, Rhoda Season 2 is in the works. They've listened to the fans and are doing a great deal of pre-production work to rectify the problems which caused much fan indignation over the quality of the first season set. I absolutely love...

One of the Shout! Factory staff members (B. Ward) posted this recent comment (4/17)in a thread on their forums discussing the Rhoda release. Here's an excerpt of the quote. It may shed some additional insight on what transpired with this release and why. A link to the actual forum post is...

If it was there I didn't notice it. But I offer the disclaimer that I'm not the connoisseur that many on this board are. I've read posts which mention minor imperfections on some sets that would have totally escaped me had I not known to look for them. So if the time compression was there, it...

I watched the first two disks. After reading the reviews I had such low expectations, that I was pleasantly surprised that it was not as bad as I expected. That's NOT by any means to disagree with the reviews on DVDTalk or sitcomsonline, but rather to say I was expecting the absolute worse...

Looks like we'll be getting season sets of Here's Lucy AND the Mothers in Law sooner rather than later: Here's Lucy DVD news: DVDs Planned for Here's Lucy (season sets) | TVShowsOnDVD.com I remember seeing this one in re-runs as a child. It's hard to believe that this one is going to get...

You are right that it was out of nowhere. How did this escape the rumor mill? I regularly check VideoETA, and nothing there either. I haven't heard even the SLIGHTEST hint of a rumor that this was in the works much less on its way to a release. I can hardly wait to throw my homemade copies in...

Rhoda DVD news: Announcement for Rhoda - Season 1: 35th Anniversary Edition | TVShowsOnDVD.com I didn't think this had a snowballs chance in Hades of being released. I am happy as a pig in slop about this one. Just this week, I was watching episodes taped from its run several years ago on...

TOTAL SHOCKER! After 3 years, I'd mentally written this series off as officially "two and through"!
