It's great to hear that they're already planning season 3. They had better be uncut episodes again. And I love the cover art. That baby is so darn cute :)

It Sure Would Be Nice! But Seems Like Every Other Tv Show Is Coming Out On Dvd But Too Close For Comfort. I Am Begning To Have My Doubts If Season Three Is Even Going To Be Coming Out Or Not. I Called Rhino One Day To Ask And Thay Said Thay Didn't Know When It Was Going To Be Out.
Well Thay Should Know Something There The One's Who Bring It Out But I Guess We All We Have To Wait And See What Happans. I Will Have The Complete Collection Of Three's Company By The Time Rhino Gets Off There Duff And Decides To Realese More Of Too Close For Comfort.

So what's the update here on more seasons of Too Close on DVD? It's been almost 3 YEARS since a post here!

Too Close is one of the greatest sitcoms ever and there should already been all seasons out on DVD!!

I really wish they would release S3 (and the others), but at this point it would be a shock if they did. I'm grateful for the two that have been released.

sadly, the prospects for a continuation of this series does not look good...

I thoroughly enjoyed seasons 1 & 2 and was REALLY looking forward to season 3.

That REALLY sucks. They should at least release more season in honor of Ted Knight.

This is one of the top 3 to 5 greatest sitcoms EVER and it's a shame that so many people never got to see it because it really doesn't have re-runs.

HOW can see past season 2 if we never got to see them or don't remember them?

to be honest, I didn't even know that the first two sets had been released until over a year after they came out - and good luck finding them in any store.

They really should release the rest of the TCFC series or at least season 3. This show is one of the best shows ever and much better than the crap on today.

The more time goes by and no one picks this up really starts to look like it's not going to happen. WGN-America aired a few episodes last year and that was it. Even Lydia Cornell doesn't know why DLT is holding these so tightly. Why are they doing everything possible to kill this show?

i honestly don't know, but watching just those 4 episodes on WGN really made me see just how great the show was again (I do own the 1st 2 seasons, but I haven't watched them in awhile)

Did you talk to Lydia or something?? How do you know Lydia said that? It would be nice if you had a link to a Lydia interview or something.

and the interview:
http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/2008/10/sitcomsonlinecom-exclusive-interview_29.html

SitcomsOnline: It is too bad that the show is not in syndication anymore (however, you can watch four episodes TONIGHT on WGN America from 8-10pm ET/5-7pm PT) and the DVDs were halted after just two seasons, any reason why? Have you heard any new rumblings on at least when we can expect the DVDs to continue? I think you told me before that you guys had shot the extras for the next set or two?

Lydia Cornell: The truth is, I have no idea. It feels as if Don Taffner (DLT Entertainment) has deliberately stopped syndicating our show. It's from a more innocent time in history, which I think would be a nice change right now for younger kids. I mean Saved by the Bell is still on and it sure looks dated! I don't see why they won't syndicate our show on Nick at Nite or some other network.

I heard that Rhino, the division of Warner Home Media that produced our DVDs, folded and was absorbed into the parent company. But I wish they'd release the rest of the DVDs. Another theory is this: Maybe the Ted Knight estate owns such a large percentage of the show that it isn't profitable for Don Taffner or any DVD company to produce it anyway. Maybe the profit split would be unprofitable for them. It's always about money.

Deborah, Jim and I did commentary on Season 3 - which is my favorite season. It's odd that they didn't really promote our DVD release. But what I find odd is that Rhino was only interested in promoting Jim Bullock on all the postcards and giveaways. Deborah and I have been available to do PR and advertising. Here's what's going to happen: once my book comes out (more on this below in our "Lydia Unleashed" story), the movie is launched (Venus Conspiracy) and our show starts filming (based on the movie), Too Close for Comfort will come back.

In May of 2008, Paramount/Viacom called us to do a Too Close For Comfort Reunion Show for Entertainment Tonight. But then they suddenly cancelled the reunion.

She said Deborah, Jim, and she have already done commentary for season 3 but the NEVER have released season 3 right?? So if they've ALREADY done the commentary for season 3 then WHY the hell hasn't it been released yet???

Also Lydia said once her book "Lydia Unleashed" comes out and her movie Venus Conspiracy comes out AND the TV show based on the movie comes out then Too Close will make a comeback.

What??? How does that movie have anything to do with Too Close other than the fact she's in it? That doesn't mean much because she'd already been in other stuff. Also her book is not going to a big seller because most people don't even know who she is.

BUT the show Too Close is one of the all time greats and SHOULD be on DVD---every single season.

i guess she was thinking that the dvd company would want to jump on the momentum of any promotions done for her book and for the anniversary - which was supposed to have some featured reunions on various talk shows or something I guess...

Hey! All Too Close For Comfort fans. You really need to see this short film about the infamous Monroe rape episode from season 5! Really funny...and informative.

Yeah they still have them,they pretty good At that site.I wish they package a bit better because some box sets do get damaged.The other sites are way too much on postage and Amazon are very suspicious sometimes.I ended up getting a few things there but that look old or used as new.

you have to be careful with Amazon - make sure it is actually Amazon you are buying from and not a third party seller, and if it is a third party seller, take the time to check out their ratings and read the seller's reviews BEFORE you buy.

If the first two seasons have sold well (I have them both), I see no reason why they wouldn´t release more.

HAHA yeah, I've already seen it :lol: Parts of it were really funny! Though they deeply exaggerate how difficult "that episode" is to find. And...the ending left me -> :confused:

...But then again, so did the episode where Monroe got raped :eek:
As I've said before to others: the irony of what happened...Monroe's refusal to report the crime for fear of it being trivialized, along with Monroe's rape being trivialized by the overuse of the laugh track...is NOT lost on me
