classicmovieguy said:Sony originally released up to Season 3, so I'm guessing that Shout only had access to the Sony master from that earlier release.
This isn't the only one they've done this for: they also did it for Barney Miller, Mr. Ed, The Bob Newhart Show, and Hill Street Blues.rmw650 said:That's a smart move on Shout's part to be doing this so we don't have to double-dip for the seasons we already bought just for the mere fact of getting the final few seasons of this or any show. Good thought process here.

That makes sense, but I still prefer getting complete series sets whenever I have the option. I just don't have enough optimism or confidence in companies sticking with a show to the very last season. (With the limited customer base for some shows, I can understand from a business perspective why they wouldn't.) Plus, I just enjoy being able to get every episode of a series all at once. After all those years of getting 4 random VHS episodes of a series per month back in the Columbia House days, I still get a kick out of making a single purchase and getting it all.classicmovieguy said:This is why I'll always collect a series on a season-by-season basis.
