Why is there no season 5 and 6? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Giselle · 07-08-2014, 04:59 PM

I emailed Shout! Factory about a year or so ago asking about season 5 and 6 and the guy responded that there wont be any and that none was planned. Does anyone know what's going on? Why wouldnt they release it?

It is frustrating now to see so many shows not being released, like Who's the Boss, One Day at a Time...and now this.

After releasing the first 4 seasons of the sitcom in three DVD sets from 2009 to early 2010, Shout! Factory hasn't released anything more from the show's 6-year run. What's up with the final two seasons? In Spring 2011, Shout! DVD producer Brian Ward revealed at the studio's official message board that they released all the seasons they had licensed up to that point, and were apparently in long, drawn-out negotiations to acquire the rights to release those remaining episodes. You can read what Ward said in posts here ("Mr. Belvedere's rights are held up by the licensor. We'd release it tomorrow, if we had them.") and here ("We (Shout!) do not have the rights to the fifth season of Belvedere. However, we're certainly still speaking with folks about it. (Cliff) from acquisitions...is saying not to expect it anytime soon, (so) you're obviously getting a fairly good view of the ongoing communication between licensor and licensee." To our knowledge, nothing further has been revealed on this topic since then.

Don't give up...with all the recent stalled shows being released on DVD, there's always hope for Mr. Belvedere.

I really hope someone could pick up the slack and release the last two seasons. One of my favorite shows, incomplete on DVD.

Everyone send an email to Shout! Factory either requesting a complete series set or for seasons 5 & 6 to be released individually.

Who knows if this will help or not but it's worth a try.
