If everyone had waited to purchase until the complete series came out, MPI could have seen some seriously depressed numbers on the early volumes and concluded that even though they had contributed to the costs of releasing series already, that it just wouldn’t have made financial sense to incur...

I mean sure I could’ve waited for the complete series set but then I wouldn’t have been enjoying these episodes in this condition for the past 18 months. Everything’s a trade off :) I made the decision not to purchase either of the TimeLife best of sets that came out first and waited the...

But oddly, they didn’t use the extra space afforded by having an extra disc to increase the episode file size - the amount of data is identical to the three disc set for Season 13. That’s a baffling choice; they increased the production cost for absolutely no reason.

I can’t explain why but that does seem to be how family dynamics go sometime. My brother was in a relationship for a very long time and his girlfriend was always present at our family gatherings and I can’t ever recall her having a conversation with just my wife. (You’d think at the least they’d...

Ozzie’s Girls!

I don’t know how true it is but I recall reading or hearing at one point that earlier on, the family was asking for a licensing fee and other compensation that exceeded what the home video labels they were talking to could afford to pay. And also that the family (understandably) didn’t...

I know I’ve said this to you before but this show got me through the earliest parts of parenthood and the pandemic lockdowns. It soothed my soul and allowed me the chance to relax so that I could be the best version of myself possible, which made me a better husband and father. I’m so glad I...

I feel like if I took the other side of that bet with you, I’d win :D

I wouldn’t necessarily be shocked if a Blu-ray complete series package came out in a year or two, but I wouldn’t be shocked if one never did either. As much as I’d be curious to see the bonus features, I don’t care enough to rebuy all of the DVDs. I’m honestly very satisfied with them - DVDs...

Best guess regarding release date of the remaining seasons is that it’s just a replication log jam. A lot of major studio releases that you’d normally expect for Sept/Oct are landing in Nov/Dec instead. One of the ways smaller labels like MPI keep production costs down is by taking lower...

Forum policy doesn’t require one for a 70+ year old show, and this plot development has already been discussed in this and other O&H threads, but if I’ve inadvertently spoiled anything for you, I apologize.

I hit a cool milestone recently with O&H - I’ve caught up to where I had been on the PD versions with the official releases (last episode of season 9), so from here on, every episode I see for the first time will be the newly remastered edition. That seemed impossible four years ago. And my...

I just noticed - and forgive me if this is old news - that the final two seasons have been pushed to October 10th. Give how behind I am, this doesn't really bother me, I still can't believe how quickly they've gotten the entire series out on disc. Right now I'm at a really good pace in the...

I still have a VCR so I have to track down a VHS copy one of these days.

Maybe in a couple years MPI will license it and Ozzie’s Girls and do a mega box set. And silly me, I’d probably bite!

I’d love it but they haven’t ever said anything about it one way or the other. Ozzie & Harriet was public domain but the physical elements had been held by the Nelson family, so that’s a relatively easy deal for MPI to make. Ozzie’s Girls isn’t owned by the Nelson family, is apparently still...

Not really but I get where you’re coming from. There are so many minor things that could cause a delay, from needing more time for the finished home video masters to be delivered from whichever vendor is handling that work, to the limited number of slots available at the replication plant being...

I’m a little ahead of some, behind on others - near the end of season 7. I was midway through season 9 on the public domain copies before these remastered editions came out, and although those PD collections weren’t complete, they were close - so a lot of these episodes are revisits for me and I...

Not yet!

He was so young when they made the radio series that for the earlier years of that, “Ricky Nelson” was played by an actor.

All classics!

Now that they’ve done a Christmas compilation, they should make a compilation of Ozzie food craving episodes.

Watched “The Day After Thanksgiving” late last night! After years of watching the low quality PD version, it was nice to view it in high quality at last. I plan on having both turkey pot pie and hot open turkey sandwiches in the coming days.

Day before my birthday, nice gift for me :)

I watched Season 5’s “Jet Pilot” last night and I’m still laughing over it this afternoon! :)

Yeah, those are three great episodes right there. That’s twice I’ve seen the Come As You Are Party episode and it was a delight both times.

Confession: for some of the ones I’ve seen before, I’ve had them on in the background and multitasked. I wrapped up season 3 just last night but 100% of the episodes didn’t get 100% of my undivided attention. It’s not necessarily ideal but I know me and if I don’t occasionally plow through a few...

I’ve tried a lot of the different brands - to be honest they all have pluses and minuses. If I want it just perfect I have to do it myself from scratch. Usually a day or two after Thanksgiving with the leftovers. I like to make a few to have that week, and then I’ll freeze the rest of the...

Thorny’s Piano from season 3 is indeed a gem. The funny coincidence was that I had been craving a chicken pie all week (Ozzie’s food cravings frequently mirror my own) and had gotten frozen ones from the store, so once that episode began with Ozzie serving them, I knew it was time to heat one...

I did, however, find my once-presumed lost recipe for braised beef brisket around the time my then-girlfriend and I moved in together. She’s since married me, so I think it’s fair to say I perfected that recipe.
