To Shout! Factory:
If the "All in the Family" Complete Series box set is successful, can you look at "The Jeffersons", and release the show as a Complete Series box set too?
Here are my suggestions:
All 253 episodes, including "Tom the Hero", "George and Louise in a Bind" (90-minute special), and "The Ones You Love" should be remastered in high definition and unedited.
The frame rate errors from Season 6 should be corrected.
Scene selection menus, chapter stops, and a "Play All" feature should be included for all the episodes.
Interactive menus should be included.
English subtitles should be included.
The set should have 32 DVDs for the episodes and a 33rd DVD for special features.
Audio commentaries and text commentaries should be included with the episodes.
Here is my list of bonus features:
Movin' On Up: The Story Of The Jeffersons (All-New Full-Length Documentary With Marla Gibbs, Berlinda Tolbert, Norman Lear, Ned Wertimer, and Archival Footage of Other Cast Members and Clips from All Seasons)
