In light of sbeamish's good news a few weeks ago about finding episodes of Mr. Terrific (even if they are in German) I think it is fitting to announce that all seventeen episodes of The New People are held in the UCLA Film & Television Archive. I discovered this the other day when I was researching a completely different show. I have in the past searched the UCLA archives as well as the Library of Congress for various rarities. However, the episodes of The New People were only added to the online database back in March.

I contacted the archive and was told that the episodes came from ABC some years ago. Additionally, they are all research copies and thus are available for viewing on-site, with advanced notice. You can see the listing here (http://cinema.library.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?Search_Arg=new+people&SL=None&Search_Code=FTIT&PID=14577&SEQ=20050725093952&CNT=50&HIST=1).

So there you have it. All the episodes exist. Whether or not they will ever see the light of day as part of a DVD release is another question entirely...

I've been looking for The New People and it is great all of the episodes exist. They're not going to sell copies, and ABC probably told them not to make any available. That is what I don't understand about archives. They can get really snobby and protective. sometimes What is the purpose of having archives if they hold films prisoner? They should sell copies at a reasonable price. I doubt a DVD release is ever made. Not everybody can afford to travel to visit the archives and museums.

I feel the same way about two of Bobby Sherman's early 70's shows that were on tv and shortlived.The first one being the more popular of the two shows and lasted into two seasons was "Here Come The Brides" and I am hoping that one day that they will be released onto DVD(well for starters at least the whole first season anyway) I used to love Brides,but I can't remember any of the episodes as I was very young at the time,between 10 and 12 years of age.

Now the second series that I would be loooking more forward to than Bridesand much more obscure than Brides,would be Bobby's shortlived series "Getting Together" which also starred Pat Carroll and Jack Burns.I haven't seen that show since it first aired back in 71-72.Would love to see Columbia Tristar get a hold of the series and release them onto DVD.And the great thing about this series,was there was only 15 episodes,so they can fit this very easily onto one DVD.

Since they are putting "That's My Mama" onto DVD (another shortlived show),I can't see why Columbia Tristar couldn't do the same with Getting Together.And it's not like Bobby Sherman after all these years,doesn't still have a cult following,because he does.That alone would be a good enough reason to release this onto a DVD.
