I already have the first season on DVD; but I will probably not purchase the 8th & 9th seasons...

Just curious, why didn't you like the first 3 seasons of AITF? I admit, season 1 seems a bit dated, but I did like the interactions between Archie and George Jefferson and of course the Meathead. I only own season 1 so far, but i'm considering getting season 2 to see how MAUDE got started.

Still waiting for MAUDE season 1, by the way . . .

George didn't Arrived until season 4. I would watch all seasons of AITF on DVD but only would pay for seasons 4-7. I would have to do a DVD Trade in order to see the first three seasons on DVD. I don;'t like them that much to buy them.

I can understand you not liking seasons 1 and 3 enough to buy them on dvd but I thought season 2 was great lots of classic episodes in season 2.


Anyways, I would buy the first 6 seasons on dvd.

i really dont care for season 1 except for the judging books by covers ep. and the one where we first meet henry jefferson but other than those two eps. i dont like season so i dont think i will be buying that one or season 9.

I just bought seasons 2 & 3 over the weekend. I have no plans to buy season 1 yet. I have a few of the better episodes on VHS already. Although the first season was full of juicy social/political issues, the pace of the show tended to be slower than the next few seasons. Edith and Gloria were just like one-dimensional puppets during the first season.

I will certainly buy seasons 4 & 5 if and when they come out. I'm definitely not a fan of the later seasons (6 and beyond).

most likely i`ll end up buying all of them. got the first 3 waiting for more.

Got all 3 seasons and will buy them all

I have Seasons 1-3.... and plan on buying them all.

I wouldn't have boughten Season 9, if ABP never happened.... but I need it to bridge the gap.



Anyways.... you can not complain about releases for a show being slow, when you don't buy them.

But if you don't buy Seasons 1-3.... Seasons 4-6 may never come.

(Although I've never heard of a show releasing three seasons on DVD and then stopping. After one season.... happens a lot. After two seasons.... too often. After three seasons.... nope.)



Seasons 4-6 are the best.... but my favorite episode is from Season 2, "Sammy's Visit"

I may consider buying season 2 and 3 but season 1 was ASS. I'm defintely not buying that season.

You should reconsider buying Season 2. I like the episodes "Sammy's Visit" and the one where MAUDE came on the show. There were some other moments in that season as well. Season 1 is slow . . .

Yeah i think I will get season 2 because I forgot the guest apperances of Bea Arthur and Sammy Davis Jr.

If it made it that far, I wouldn't get the 9th season. It wasn't the same without Mike and Gloria. There were a few good episodes that season, though, but not enough to warrant a purchase.

To each his/her own, but to me, if you're to call yourself a fan of a show, you'd want to have it all, the good and the bad. There are always good and bad episodes in a series run, and for me, each season comprises of the two. And everyone is going to have their own different opinions about which season is the best and which one is lacklustre. But for me, it wouldn't make sense to have a collection that isn't complete, but again, that's me. You guys are the ones paying for your sets and you're the ones entitled to choose what you want to buy. I'm just a completist, that's all. Everyone is different.

Admittedly, Season 1 was a bit tame, but the show had just gotten started and it clearly needed to find its voice. Plus, and more importantly, they weren't sure how far the network and the American public would allow the show to go. CBS was extremely nervous about this show. It was only after it became a confirmed hit while the show was in re-runs in its first season that CBS let the show blossom on its own. Given these restrictions, I think it holds up pretty well and it paved the way for other shows to be more realistic.

Does anybody have any news regarding the release of the 4th season DVD of All in the Family?
