FOL confirmed to video - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

purple_eyes · 01-18-2001, 12:00 AM

No problem TJ. I probably should've been upfront in the first post and said I work at CH, but I wasn't sure who was at this site and I don't want to get in any trouble.

By the way, we offer 25 volumes of Good Times right now with more on the way.

Series demand is usually the determining factor in our releasing a particular series to video or DVD, but it also depends on whether or not contracts can be negotiated.

To:Purple_eyes: any chance of "Archie Bunkers Place" being released from Columbia House?
There may not be enough popularity to bring it out. Just wonderin.

I haven't seen many requests for Archie Bunkers Place, but considering we have All in the Family, anything is possible.

TJ · 01-19-2001, 05:15 PM

I've just received a listing of the 2 DS tapes currently available, they are not in order but that is not a big deal as long as they are all released.. it looks like they will be released in 'theme' sets:

MOVING IN AND OUT (tape 1)
MOVING IN (#1)
THE SOCIAL WORKER (#2)
MOTHER'S LAST VISIT (#3)
THE RELATIVE (#12)

ARNOLD (tape 2)
THE SPANKING (#4)
GOODBYE, DOLLY (#6)
THE TRIAL (#7)
NEW LANDLORD (#14)

I Just wanted to let everyone know that "Facts of Life" is going to be relesed by Columbia House next month. I spoke to them personally and they said "Its gonna be relesed in about a month or 2, the only thing we need is the COPYRIGHT from The Owner of The Facts of Life, then we will get started on making the videos, then we'll relese them to the public (thru their company) soon after that"! So heads up everybody! Columbia House IS relesing FOL in a few months, by spring you can get them!!!

purple_eyes · 01-19-2001, 11:36 PM

The FOL tapes have already been made and are in stock, but we're not contracted to sell them until the end of February. If anyone calls us to ask for them, reps have to say we don't have them because we're legally not contracted to sell them yet. Applications should be out soon though since it takes 2 -4 weeks to process them and by that time, the contracts will be in place.

Ive considered starting a petition to get "Archies Place" either on cable or video but i dont think theres enough people that feel the same way i do about this show so im not sure what i will do yet.

I'm really excited about the Facts of Life coming out on video. I've been trying to record the whole series. (minus the first season. Jo's the only reason I started watching the show, and since she's not around in the first season, why bother?)

Don't forget No Voiceovers either on the videos!
I hate those too!

Attmay · 02-16-2001, 12:38 PM

This'll make a great companion to the Diff'rent Strokes tape set and the I Love Lucy DVD set I shall be getting. And since it is the whole series…

No more cut down USA or N@N episodes, no more 3rd generation tapes that people recorded off NBC 20 years ago. In this case, you take the GOOD. The very good.

Attmay · 02-21-2001, 09:38 PM

How do you re-subscribe to TV shows after the series run out but then future volumes are introduced? I want to do that when the future volumes of "Good Times" are released.

TJ · 02-26-2001, 06:42 AM

purple_eyes: what is the story on Diff'rent Strokes - I received a out of stock notice a few days ago. Have any tapes been mailed out yet or are they waiting until they've built up a certain number of subscribers? I was told that the first 2 tapes had already been produced.

purple_eyes · 02-27-2001, 01:10 AM

TJ - The demand for Diff'rent Strokes was so extreme that we sold out of our first two shipments of stock. We're waiting on several thousand copies of each volume now. Should be about a week or two before they are available for shipment.

ANY CHANCE COLUMBIA HOUSE WILL RELEASE WKRP IN CINCINATI ON VIDEOTAPE WITH ORIGINAL MUSIC?
