Good link, Agebra74!
Did you check out the "Best Of'' dvds? I'm so glad they put out the whole series first! I've got more TDVDS on tapes and dvds than I know what to do with.

I can't wait for season 4, either! Some of my favorite episodes are on this set. I am so looking forward to having all these wonderful episodes after so many years of waiting!

Me too! I've got mine on order from Amazon.com. I'm particularly looking forward to hearing some of my favorite lines from season four:

Pink Pills and Purple Parents: "...and one for Moo-Moo!"
The Death of the Party: "The Manchurian Canterdirt!"
100 Terrible Hours: (too many good lines to mention...

)

Pentimento, just reading your lines made me laugh out loud! It's fun to have something to look forward to!

I think that the fourth season was the best of the five seasons. What do you think? Also, I was wondering if anyone had the Neilson ratings of all five seasons of the show. I knew that it was in the top 10 for three of its five seasons, I am just not sure which one of the seasons it was not, other than the first.

I can't wait for season 4, either. Lately every time I get an urge to watch an episode, it turns out to be from either season 4 or 5! I never realized how this show got better as it went on.

Algebra74,
According to Lawrence M. Bernarbo, the #2 Reviewer on Amazon.com, the Nielsen Ratings for TDVDS, by season, break down as follows:

Season 1 - 80th
Season 2 - 9th
Season 3 - 3rd
Season 4 - 7th
Season 5 - 16th

Thank you SawgrassSteve for that information. Although 16th place is still very good, I wonder why it dropped that low during its fifth season?

jasonrh · 04-27-2004, 08:59 AM

The ratings probably slipped because it was in black and white.

Just about every other show on the primetime network schedules in 1966 was in color.

In fact, the only other show I can think of that was b&w as late as 1966 would be The Avengers, which was in b&w because it was a British import (asthough it was in color in 1967, specifically for the American audience).

Best,
Jason

That's a good point. Still, I have to wonder how many homes had a color TV set in '66. For me, everything was in black and white until 1979 (except at my aunt's house for some reason...

)

Dorothys BestPal · 04-27-2004, 08:42 PM

I am glad the DVD remained in black & white though it will be interesting to see the reunion in color , I think b&w lends a more mysterious quality than color does.

algebra74 · 04-28-2004, 10:21 PM

If my memory serves me correctly, I believe that Lost in Space, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeannie were all in black and white until their 1966-1967 season.

ScottD · 04-28-2004, 11:38 PM

You're right about Lost In Space, Bewitched, and I Dream Of Jeannie. That's the same year Gunsmoke went to color too.
