Green Acres? - Not a bang but a whimper (1 Viewer)

[David Grove]

It seems like this one just sort of faded away.

Such a unique show. I'm eager to buy it all. I guess the only real reason a studio fails to follow through on a series is insufficient sales, right?

So, that must be the case with Green Acres, I suppose.

Just wondering...

I'm very disappointed, as well. I watch my first three seasons over and over again. An announcement for Season 4 would make my year.

Green Acres is one of the shows that was caught up in that whole MGM distribution change to Sony and then to Fox. I would be suprised if this series was not continued again at some point.

 

[Michael Rogers]

I'm hoping for it to continue

That was kind of what I suspected/hoped, but with the continued passing of time I become less hopeful.

I think the FUture of these unfinished Series May line with online Distribution from Itunes and Others. Already Itunes has put up Season 3 of Hill Street Blues. Owning 2 Apple TV's and Having no DVD's in Site I will probably buy a season Pass to get this series. So if the quality is good enough and the price is right let's see those Unfinished Shows !

Given Fox has stoppled releasing season sets of Mary Tyler Moore and King of the Hill on DVD, I doubt we'll ever see the remaining episodes of Green Acres if Fox is the distributor.

 

[Michael Rogers]

Green Acres is MGM but the overall sentiment is correct. It doesn't look good for the continuation of any of these shows which is a damn shame.

 

[Ethan Riley]

If Green Acres is now controlled by Fox, then it makes sense that they haven't gotten around to it, because they have had so many of their own projects in the works. I'm sure they'll get to it when they have the time.

Someone do me a favor....
Around the second week of July, send me an email about
Green Acres.
I'm meeting with Fox (and hopefully) MGM in July and I'd
be happy to bring this title to their attention. I'm also waiting
for the release of the remaining seasons.

I haven't started on this one yet. But it most definately on my list. I'm glad it has multi seasons out now. Good deal! I hate when they stop on Season 1. This is one of those shows you almost have to rediscover how hilarious it is. A complete series release would make me quite happy!

 

[Charles Ellis]

I definitely want more of the Douglases and the rest of the Hooterville gang! Come on, there's only three more seasons to do- don't leave us halfway!

And while you're at it, ask those fools at FOX why they're aren't releasing more vintage shows from its vault! I want Peyton Place!!!

Man, I hope you're right. I want this set more than any other. Fingers crossed.

 

[ScottLloyd]

I'll post so my future search shows this thread when it's updated with a nice annoucement that they are going to be released.

 

[Jefferson]

This is a favorite at my house....hoping also for a continuation of releases.

 

[snappercarr]

This is my all-time favorite show!

I really hope the don't forget about it and release the remaining seasons on DVD

Me too! I check for word of the relase of season 4 about once per week. This is one series I would love to complete. :frowning:

Gentlemen,
I'm still here in Vegas.
Many of you heeded my request to remind me to talk
with someone out here about the series -- and I did.
I am afraid, however, the response is not good.
First of all, nobody from MGM was out here. I had
the opportunity to talk with a Fox Executive about the
title. This individual was uncertain about the rights and
if this title was still under Sony license.
I was also told basically that things just don't get thrown
out on DVD anymore and that the process of what does has
become much more selective. I got the impression that it
has become more difficult to get these TV shows out on DVD
these days because of sales. BOB NEWHART and MARY TYLER
MOORE were examples that were brought up in conversation.
Sales were very poor on these titles, but Fox went ahead anyway
and continued releasing them for the sake of the fans. Problem
is, you can't keep doing this for every title and the studios have
become more cautious about releasing only what they feel will sell.
I'm not saying that this is the case with GREEN ACRES, as Fox
was really unsure of who owned the title and how well it did sales
wise.
Please don't take anything definitive out of this post. Our conversation
were casual in an atmosphere where research could not be done. I promise
I will continue to mention this title to them. Fortunately Fox is a good studio
to work with when attempting to get titles released.
