Just found a new collection on line - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was looking on Amazon and found this collection- I believe its pretty new- its 16 discs over 30 hours- there are the usual PD episodes but looks like much more- I have placed an order because Columbia/Sony have no intention of releasing any box sets anytime soon- Here is the link from Nostalgia Merchants who is the company that is offering the collection- They do mention volume 1 and volume 2- so hopefully there will be more

...and they're no doubt a mix of the "live" episodes seen on alternate Thursdays between October 1950 and September 1952 [there were 52 of those], and the weekly filmed version [October 1952- September 1958], although how many of them are included in this set, I don't know. I DO recognize several titles of the filmed episodes, though. I can guarantee that, if you purchase this set, you will see a good represenatation of all four "Harry Mortons" [Hal March, John Brown, Fred Clark and Larry Keating] and both announcers [Bill Goodwin and Harry Von Zell] in action. I'm sure the original Carnation commercials are intact in the live episodes, but as for the filmed ones {with "alternate" sponsor B.F. Goodrich}- probably not, as those might be the syndicated prints released after the series went off CBS in 1958....
