tvfan0101 10-24-2004, 09:59 AM If they were cheap enough I would get them all. Short-lived television on DVD for a fantastic price? I am there.
If they were not incredibly cheap I would probably just go for Grady, The Ropers, Joanie Loves Chachi, and Out of the Blue.

It's still unknown how many Grady eps there really were so i guess that will be one of those unanswered questions in TV History. My Guess is 8-9 but i will find out since i only have 3 of them.

tvfan0101 10-24-2004, 01:07 PM Alright, let me add to that what I can. I was unable to find the exact number and due to the fact that a few of the TV Guides were missing from the collection I looked through, things still may be incorrect. I added what I found to your information:

Grady would probably have to be combined with Sanford Arms on DVD since it was a total of 14 eps between both shows and be called-"The Spinoffs of Sanford and Son"

I forgot to add that's there is another episode of Grady called-"Grady Learns to Drive" but the airdate hasn't been verified. So that would be 6 eps so far.
1.Grady Learns to Drive
2.Surprise Party
3.Fred Visits
4.Grady Goes Back to School
5.Second Honeymoon
6.Missing Quarters

I think I would buy The Ropers. I have always thought they were funny.

What "Out of The Blue" are you talking about? The only OOTB I know is a show from the 90s where a bunch of teens worked at a Sea World type theme park.

Out of the Blue premeired in 1979 on ABC with the main character called-"random" who made a guest apperance on Happy Days. The show only lasted 4 months.
