Boy Meets World Season 1 will def. sell well.

Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley Seasons 1 I have a feeling those will sell well.

Quantum Leap Season 2 is def. gonna sell well.

I think Home Improvement might do well too.

Though I'm not sure I'll get it, I think Boy Meets World will be big, as well as Golden Girls since that's one of the top requests on tvshowsondvd.com.

I also think Dallas Seasons 1 and 2 will do well.

As well as Sledge Hammer Season 1, Knight Rider Season 1 I think will do well also.

If it's ever released I def. think Lois and Clark will be a big seller.

Three's Company: Season 3
Happy Days: Season 1
Laverne and Shirley: Season 1
What's Happening: Season 2
Sanford and Son: Season 5

I think I heard something on the Golden Girls site that the first season will be out in November although TVShowsOnDVD.com has yet to pull it from the top 10 and add a new show to their list.

I think "Sliders: Seasons 1 & 2" will sell well. It's got a huge cult following. All the fans agree that the first two seasons are the best. I don't know if seasons 3 thru 5 will do well, but I'm almost positive this first set will.

"ALF" is also very popular and I predict high sales.

Happy Days
Golden Girls
Diff'rent Strokes (I can see it selling well enough for a season 2 to be greenlighted)
Ellen (well, for A&E standards)

I have heard that the DVD for The Waltons Season 1, released May 11, has been selling well. Several Wal*Marts ran out of stock, as a matter of fact. :)

I don't doubt there's gonna be a season 2 of this. I voted for DS in the last poll Sony had asking what we want on dvd, I figure alot of people voted for it.

this one shocked me about coming out on DVD. I'm sure one day we will be at a point where every show is coming out on DVD, but I'm sure there's at least 50 other 1990's sitcoms that have not yet been announced on DVD yet that are more in-demand than The Jeff Foxworthy Show. It only ran 2 seasons, on 2 different networks, and it was never a critical hit [like how Sports Night only ran 2 seasons, but it had a critical and cult following that merited it's release on DVD]. I never thought of it as something a lot of people would want to own.

But... I'm sure there are Jeff Foxworthy fans out there dying to own it... and it's them who the DVD set is for.

Im personally NOT a fan of Foxworthy, but he does have the highest selling comedy record of all time, I wouldnt be too suprised if those sold pretty well.
Not great numbers, but enough to justify the second season.
I would NEVER buy it, because I hate rednecks, and that's what his comedy is all about.

I hate to sound like Solomon, but that would be pretty sad if Jeff Foxworthy does good enough for a season 2, while Mary Tyler Moore, Twin Peaks, Malcolm In The Middle and Larry Sanders season 2's will never happen

You might be a redneck if ... you're a Jeff Foxworthy fan! The entire hilarious first season on 2 discs co-stars fellow comedian Jay Mohr and Haley Joel Osment.

That's part of an ad in an email I got promoting some upcoming releases. I bet the co-stars may also be a reason people would want to check it out, to see a young Haley Joel Osment before his Oscar nomination, or Jay Mohr. However, I for one, am not a redneck, so I won't be buying it, but good for people who want it.

Jay Mohr is terribly unfunny (ever see Last Comic Standing?? Exactly.)
He's probably my second least favorite comedian.... second only to Foxworthy himself.

Not to mention I could never stand Haley Joel Osment (except on the old 90s sitcom with Ed Asner.... but I forget what thats called)

I think the season one set of The Andy Griffith Show will sell very well. It should not be a surprise though, because the show has a very large fan base and all.

Why don't you think Malcolm in the Middle: Season 2 will ever be released? It is being delayed due to music problems, not poor sales. Fox has said they will pay for the music and release the other seasons, they just don't know when. The other shows you mentioned, those sold poorly. (I'm not tryin' to sound like a jerk, just stating facts) :p

Back to the original topic: I bet That '70s Show: Season 1 will sell like hotcakes. (its one of the most-requested shows to be released on DVD)

That's why I said "besides the obvious Seinfeld"
and if it doesn't become the highest selling TVDVD.... the whole industry will be shocked.
