I'm disappointed that nobody asked about Eight is Enough on Warner Studios live chat last night (4-5-10). I tried to, but couldn't get called on. :( I would think now that they are done with The Waltons, this would be a shoe-in!

My understanding about EIE is that negotiations are ongoing with the family of the man who wrote the book the series is based on. Unless or until these negotiations can be successfully concluded the show won't be released on DVD.

^ It's too bad, too. I remember watching all five seasons of this when I was a kid. I would love to see this on DVD.

I'd love it to be on DVD myself. I haven't seen it since I was a kid in the mid-80s and it was in syndication!! :(

David Lambert from tvshowsondvd.com did mention EIE (amongst others). Apparently it is "under active consideration" and has been on their 'list' for a long time.

And I quote...

(DavidLambert) First, a big THANK YOU from all the TVShowsOnDVD readers to WHV, for working out issues & getting shows onto DVD like Falcon Crest, Scarecrow & Mrs. King, Family Matters, more Night Court, more Fresh Prince, more Everwood and others. Fans appreciate it! Now we wonder if there will be similar efforts to bring out Freddy's Nightmares, Eight Is Enough, China Beach, Sisters, Alice, Spenser: For Hire, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, Shazam!, Logan's Run, Captain Caveman or Men In Trees? Any good word for fans of these shows?

(WarnerBros) Phew! I'm tired just thinking about that question. Many of these are under active consideration. I'd love to get China Beach out but music is extremely problematic but we're continuing to work at it. Some of these others are on our long list as well.
