Last Straw - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hi everyone!
I haven't been around much because I just haven't felt right lately. I apologize for that, but now I'm here to ask all of you to help Freddie. If you've been over to the TVShowsOnDVD site, then maybe you've seen the recent list of shows to be released. Now it has been announced that Happy Days, Andy Griffith, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, and Hogan's Heros are all to be released in August. The Friends finale was released the Tuesday after it aired. Now I'm not knocking the shows, I know they all have their fans. But enough's enough. September marks 30 years Chico debuted and Chico won a TVLand Landmark award(which BTW is supposed to be the reason the Andy Griffith show is being released in season sets now) this year. If anytime were to be the right time to release this show, now is that time. Well, I asked the TVShowsOnDVD site what would be the BEST way to get Warner Brothers attention and they suggested to write to the Warner Brothers site. I did that and got a form letter saying they don't know anything about when show will be released, but they said they would make a note of what I asked for. Now it's a small chance, but it looks like it's up to us to get this show out there. Everyone PLEASE just send a message to them and maybe if they get enough of us sending, they will take the hint!
Here's the site

Dani,
I did write them a while ago, maybe as much as a year or better and got the same kind of a response. But you are correct, we need to keep at them. I think everyone should write and I just did again.

BTW when writing to these people, keep it polite (as I know we all are on here!) They respond better to that. If you aren't sure what to write, I have pasted what I wrote. PLEASE don't copy and paste it tho, they HATE form letters. Personal letters are MUCH better!

We would like to know when you are planning to release the season sets of our all time favorite show Chico and the Man. Since receiving the Landmark award on this years TVLand awards, we feel that it is time to get to see this show as it was meant to be seen, uncut and in DVD quality. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Lets flood them with messages.... get all your friends to do the same!

I just sent warner bros my request and I was so nice i hope we get what we want....

Prince · 05-22-2004, 03:14 PM

I just wrote Warner Brothers too. Please, everyone write and let them know how bad we want this.

hue_mee · 05-22-2004, 03:29 PM

I agree Macca. I wrote them a polite letter and mention how much Freddie is still loved and remembered to this day. I hope all of our responses gives them a push to put Chico and the Man on DVD!

Joy · 05-22-2004, 05:24 PM

The email i sent to warner bros was just returned to me subsystem delivery failure can anyone tell me what i did wrong?
I saved the letter so i can try and send it again later can anyone help me?

Danisel331 · 05-23-2004, 04:03 AM

Thank you ladies for doing this. Personally, I just got tired of waiting around and felt something just had to be done. I'm really hoping that this will work. All year I've just had this feeling that something big was supposed to happen this year concerning Freddie and the award was nice, but not big enough. I've sent a second letter myself, so please, if we keep at them hopefully, they will see the demand. Sad to say but as long as they think they can make money, the better our chances are.

Ms Angie. All I can tell you is that you should send it through the site, not a personal email. I really think this should work.

Joy · 05-23-2004, 10:00 AM

Thanks Dani but i went to the site and the comment board i chose video and DvD section and typed in my request going from the link you posted and about a half an hour later it returned to me. Did i choose the wrong catagory?
HELP!!!

Luckymama58 · 05-23-2004, 02:35 PM

I went through the site to send my comments and mine came back as undeliverable through my email.... I dunno what is up with that?????

Joy · 05-23-2004, 02:40 PM

well we need help Lucky but if everyone else keeps sending in we can join in when we get it figured out.
Maybe we should try sending our comments to each department they list one of them is bound to be deliverable???
What can i say, i'm desperate!

Danisel331 · 05-23-2004, 08:03 PM

Well, I'm sorry. I can't imagine what's wrong because I've sent two and gotten the same kind of response to both. They say thanks for asking blah blah blah, we dont have that information blah blah blah.
Only thing I can tell you is that I picked Video/DVD and filled in the spaces with the little *. It's gone through both times for me. I hope you can work it out.

Luckymama58 · 05-23-2004, 08:06 PM

Hummm

That's EXACTLY what I did! ?????

Joy · 05-23-2004, 08:09 PM

me too, what a puzzle

Prince · 05-23-2004, 10:52 PM

Following is the response I received.....I'm sure Dani got the same thing.

Hello!

Thank you for your e-mail regarding future Warner Bros. DVD releases. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. Online Customer Service does not have exact release dates, nor do we know when a certain DVD will be released in various countries or formats. Warner Bros. Online Customer Service also has no information as to why certain films or TV shows have not been released on DVD. Warner Bros. values your input and opinions. Your requests for specific movies, TV shows and features have been noted.

I'm going to keep bugging them despite this email.

Danisel331 · 05-24-2004, 03:50 AM

Yep Ms Macca that's the same thing I got exactly. 2 times all ready.
Oh hey ladies, I just thought of something. I read that yahoo mail has been acting up lately. Maybe if you have another address you can put, that may help. I don't know if that will make a difference or not, but I hope it helps.
