Sorry, "oh, we don't want to license it, we'll do it ourselves" ain't very realistic. Unless they are content to sell tens of copies. It sounds like Donna's daughter is living in a fantasy world.

Mary Owen was already very involved in bringing out "The Donna Reed Show" to DVD when "Virgil Films and Entertainment" was putting out her Mom's Television Show. She was working in the background helping them with many projects regarding the production process of putting out seasons of "The Donna Reed Show" onto DVD. In fact, she was so involved that she was under a lot of stress from the project of releasing season's of her Mom's Show! Now she has the expert professional help she was seeking in order to get these Donna Reed Show Episodes from the 'Fourth Season' out to the public!! Believe me Mary knows only too well what it takes to have good distribution! And she also knows all about the costs involved concerning the process of authoring, packaging, and all the 'Monetary Capital' it takes to complete this project. Mary Owen is a very astute individual, she is not some air head like your trying to make her out to be Neil!!! Shame on You!!!!!

Does she know about music licensing and dealing with music publishers that can ask whatever outrageous rate they want for their songs? Because what happens if the publishers want a fortune for the use of My Dad and Johnny Angel?

This just into the newsroom: World supply of exclamation points is running dangerously low. Leaders at the U.N. have reached a consensus and are cautioning everyone to only use exclamation points when absolutely necessary. Thank you!

 

[Greg2356]

Thanks for the warning, but I have my own 'Two Huge Storage Buildings' that are filled to the brim with exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teen Idol 'James Darren' makes his second guest appearance on this sitcom during this 'Fourth Season' singing his 'Hit Songs' in an episode entitled, "One Starry Night." And as I mentioned previously, Shelley Fabares will be 'Featured' in a special episode entitled, "Donna's Prima Donna" singing her famous hit "Johnny Angel." Paul Petersen will also be singing his first top ten hit entitled, "She Can't Find Her Keys" in which he performs it during a dream sequence in an episode entitled, "For Angie With Love" all from this great 'Fourth Season' of "The Donna Reed Show."

'Stay Tuned' for further developments concerning this Iconic TV Series...

Is there an actual source for this that confirmed it? Or are you just crossing your fingers and hoping what you said turns out to be true?

My source is Mary Owen herself. At this present time, the 'Special Features' are being worked on, and there are many being submitted from ardent fans who are collectors plus the 'Special Features' that "Virgil Films & Entertainment" already had planned to include for this DVD Release of 'Season 4' in which they said would take up a separate disc. Of course, "Virgil Films & Entertainment" even though they had wanted to release Season 4 regarding "The Donna Reed Show" will not be releasing this season for confidential reasons. There are no hard feelings involved from this studio or Donna Reed's Children. We will see what 'Special Features' are actually included on this 'Fourth Season DVD Release' as time progresses!!!!

Sounds good.

I just wondered if it was your confidence this release would be done right that led to you to say that, or if was based upon more then just faith. Glad to see you got the confirmation directly and we can look forward to it being intact.

That's 'Correct' Leo, Mary said all these episodes from the 'Fourth Season' will be the Complete Uncut Episodes!!!

Totally agree with this.. This was also a blind buy for me and I have really enjoyed it. I can't get enough of classic 50's and 60's television!!!

Here's to hoping we really do see Season 4 in the near future. I love this series and will buy as much as is released.

Gary "thanks for the updates, Greg" O.

Mark, as a writer I tend to be sensitive to punctuation use and abuse, but I was only teasing, and thought the use of an exclamation point in my post would bear that out. You seemed to take it in the intended spirit, but just in case, I hope you know I was not trying to "rain on your parade." !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AlanP]

Can't wait for SEASONS FOUR AND FIVE, Shelley's last two with the series and the best of the series !!!

 

[Greg2356]

Stay tuned 'GANG' things are COOKING!!!!!
