It's been a while since season 3 came out. Shouldn't we be getting word soon on the final two seasons?
This seems to be SOP with *many* releases and is one major reason I feel TVonDVD releases have slowed. Enough people have become mad due to bonus material on full series that they just stopped purchasing individual seasons. This has driven down sales which has caused more hesitation from studios about releasing classic TVonDVD. Basically, the studios killed TVonDVD enthusiam and purchases due to stupid marketing practices and greed.Originally Posted by WhitneyG
...we, the loyal customers who have gotten the series this far (i.e. if no one bought it, this release wouldn't be happening at all), are now being told we either need to repurchase 4/5 of the series, or wait who knows how many months until they release the fifth season separately...

Season 3 of R&B&F switched networks from ABC to NBC, when R&B came to NBC the show was retitled The Bullwinkle Show and had the short lived Bullwinkle puppet introduce the openings. Another thing about how R&B has been released is that I'm not 100% sure about this, but I have a good feeling that all these releases are Syndicated and not the originals at all. So if they're planing on releasing the "Complete Series" they better fix all these problems.
