    FINALLY.....RHODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    FINALLY.....RHODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    FINALLY.....RHODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    FINALLY.....RHODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    Now One of My Dreams Has Come True: The Mothers-in-Law on DVD!

    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...

    RHODA Season 2 Is In the Works!

    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...

    RHODA Season 2 Is In the Works!

    "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.

    RHODA Season 2 Is In the Works!

    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...

    FINALLY.....RHODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    FINALLY.....RHODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    FINALLY.....RHODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    Possible 2010 release for Here's Lucy?

    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...

    FINALLY.....RHODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    Partridge Family Season 3 Coming At Last!

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

    HAPPY DAYS SEASON 4 COMING SOON

    Though I'd heard this rumored before, it's good news to hear it again from someone who's actually spoken to the studio. I'd begun to think that because of music clearance issues that we might not see any future seasons. Especially when Laverne & Shirley were released this spring without a Happy...

    Bewitched Season 6??

    VideoETA - The best source for DVD release dates has Bewitched Season 6 listed with a 5/6 release date. That makes sense given that another poster noted seeing a 5/16 release date. Perhaps it was a typo and meant to be 5/6. I'm hopeful given that videoeta has proven to be reliable on release...

    HAPPY DAYS / LAVERNE & SHIRLEY SEASON 3

    I, like many of the rest of you, usually buy online other than the rare occasions when the B & M stores are having major sales. Like Black Friday when I was able to get 24-S5 and Monk - S4 at Targest for only $14.99. With Happy Days, I chose to Netflix it first to see if I wanted it bad...

    HAPPY DAYS / LAVERNE & SHIRLEY SEASON 3

    Has anyone had any success finding Happy Days S3 in a brick and mortar store? Today I went to Walmart, Target, and Circuit City, and none of them were carrying the title. I join the other poster in hoping that this season does well so that Season 4 will be released, but it's rather difficult for...

    24 DVD Box Set Seasons 1-5

    My Target (Atlanta, GA) had them for $16 each on Black Friday.

    Did anyone ask Warner about this...

    I understand the dilemma. But speaking for myself, I've never bothered buying used to save only $2-$3. The shipping cost alone would negate a savings that small. With my purchases it's been a HUGE difference. Like getting used Femme Nikita sets for $40 when they were retailing for $89. I've...

    Did anyone ask Warner about this...

    I offer a hearty Amen to that. Probably 1/3 of my TV on DVD collection has been purchased used, and at a HUGE cost savings. I got all 5 of my Dick Van Dyke Seasons for +/- $30 at a time when they were retailing for around $60. No way my collection would be as expansive as it is, did I not have...

    Moonlighting Season 5: March 7, 2007

    I rented Season 4 from Netflix, as I never saw it when it aired, and having loved Seasons 1-3 wondered why the 4th Season got such a bum rap. All I can say is every disparaging comment about the fourth season was well deserved. I found it almost unwatchable and skipped through several eps...

    The Man From UNCLE??

    I'm not "techno-literate" enough to know about bit rates and the like. I do know that in the past when I've tried to stream internet videos the pictures are fuzzy, the audio is subpar, and the video tends to intermittently freeze up making for an overalll frustrating viewing experience. The...

    The Man From UNCLE??

    I've begun watching these on AOL's IN2TV website. I've downloaded about 10 eps onto my PC. I've been amazed at the near DVD quality clarity of the picture. You have the option of streaming directly from the site, or downloading individual episodes onto your computer. The downloaded eps are much...

    A&E British TV Megasets

    For now I will continue to use Netflix to see which of the series I like enough to want to repeatedly re-watch. I have to sense a high "re-watchability" factor to actually purchase a set. I liked what I saw of the Saint enough to want to own it, AND I found a great price which was worth it for...

    A&E British TV Megasets

    Bummer....on missing out on that sale. I frequently purchase from DDD, but likely didn't notice that particular sale, because I didn't even know what DangerMan was until a few weeks ago. I'm having a great time uncovering these 40+ year old television treasures. Dangerman is next in my queue...

    A&E British TV Megasets

    I've just discovered a few of these series on DVD in the last few weeks. I've Netflixed three Avenger's discs, and two of The Saint discs so far. I was stunned when I looked into the retail price for these sets. Can anyone give me an idea of why they are so RIDICULOUSLY expensive compared to...

    Odd Couple Season 2 release date

    I'm thrilled if it's true. I thoroughly enjoyed the Season 1 set. But this leaves me baffled on the whole notion of "wait to see how the first season sells before greenlighting a second season". Do studios only apply that standard to certain shows? I know that the smaller outfits like Shout...

    "The Fugitive" (1963): Season 1; Volume 1 Rumored To Be In The Works!

    I'm 40 so these 60's dramas began before I was born, or premiered while I was still a toddler. I grew up in a household with a Mom who was an avid reader and NEVER watched TV (still doesn't), and a Dad who rarely watched much other than sports. So if these were on in re-runs in the early 70's I...
