Make Your Own DVDs - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Forget "make your own network" -- DVDs are the future of classic TV!!

So.... if you were the head of a TV company, what shows would you release on DVD -- and what special features would you include with them??

PZelda · 07-26-2004, 06:50 PM

I'd take over the damn Warner Bros. company.

I'd put Mama's Family out to DVD immediately and would include "Eunice", the 1982 CBS TV movie that was the pilot to Mama's Family, as a bonus. Bloopers and interviews would be awesome, too.

THat could go on the Season 1 DVD, since they only did 13 episodes that season.

Dean Winchester · 07-26-2004, 06:52 PM

well, considering we have to wait a year for a Simpsons season because of damn commentary, I personally would rather wait only 4-5 months for a bare-bones tv-DVD than a year for one loaded with extras. That's just me though

Chambers · 07-26-2004, 07:02 PM

I'd wait a little longer for good extras. I'm hoping that's the reason they still haven't announced the release of Cheers season 4. I'd include behind-the-scenes documentaries and the "Uncle Sam" lost episode....among other things. Anything but clipfests!

EmoJoe · 07-26-2004, 07:05 PM

Id put LOTS of special feautures, and id release Full House on DVD. Id try to release the seasons as fast as I can. I would release Facts Of Life, too.

Dean Winchester · 07-26-2004, 07:06 PM

well, extras are nice, but usually who watches them more than once?

I'd rather have a great tv show on DVD with crappy extras, than have a crappy tv show with great extras, that's just me though

I agree. When I buy TV shows on DVD, I buy them for the show, not the extras. Yeah, the extras are a cool addition sometimes, but I'm not going to be watching them too often.
