Well, it's not really serious "Breaking News"....but I thought I would over-react like all the cable news channels...lol.....but seriously, this is being announced here first, even before www.tvshowsondvd.com....even though I have informed them, so expect a news item soon. I think I may be the only one upset here, but since I started the "Virgil Films & Entertainment" thread here elsewhere....I still think they are daring and deserve kudos....but it is with extreme sadness that I must announce they have cancelled the October 13, 2009 release of the 13 episode super rare never syndicated NBC 1970's Saturday morning series "Big John, Little John" starring "Robbie "The Brady Bunch" Rist...yes "Cousin Oliver"....seems he still cannot get a break, the character is credited for when "The Brady Bunch" "Jumped The Shark" and now his long, long, did I say long forgotten solo TV series came so close to being released on DVD has been cancelled due to no sales interest. This series will remain lost forever.....

very very sad for us obscure TV series collectors.....
