Darn - no Brady Bunch Variety Hour? I guess they couldn't clear the rights to the music.

Yeah I was hoping for the Variety Hour too! But I am looking forward to Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. I remember watching that on Saturday mornings!

I've already got the Rhino sets of H.R. Pufnstuf, Bugaloos and Lidsville. I am excited about finally being able to complete my Sigmund and the Sea Monsters collection, though.
