If they were cheap enough I would get them all. Short-lived television on DVD for a fantastic price? I am there.

If they were not incredibly cheap I would probably just go for Grady, The Ropers, Joanie Loves Chachi, and Out of the Blue.

It's still unknown how many Grady eps there really were so i guess that will be one of those unanswered questions in TV History. My Guess is 8-9 but i will find out since i only have 3 of them.

Alright, let me add to that what I can. I was unable to find the exact number and due to the fact that a few of the TV Guides were missing from the collection I looked through, things still may be incorrect. I added what I found to your information:

Quote:

December 4th, 1975
NBC, Thursday 8:00PM
[Unknown Title]
Grady moves into his new house but the former tenant won't leave.

December 11th, 1975
NBC, Thursday 8:00PM
"Missing Quarters""
Pre-empted

December 18th, 1975
NBC, Thursday 8:00PM
"Surprise Party"

December 25th, 1975
NBC, Thursday 8:00PM
"Missing Quarters"
Money goes missing during a poker game and Grady vows to find out where it went.

January 1st, 1975
Pre-empted for Orange Bowl

January 8th, 1975
NBC, Thursday 8:30PM
[Unknown Title]
Grady goes back to school.

January 15th, 1976
No information

January 22nd, 1976
NBC, Thursday 8:30PM
"Second Honeymoon"
Grady takes the kids to the mountain giving Hal and Ellie a chance at a second honeymoon.

February 5th, 1976
Pre-empted for "Dark Victory"

February 12th, 1976
No information

February 19th, 1976
Pre-empted for "James Dean"

February 26th, 1976
Pre-empted for "The Lindhbergh Kidnapping Case"

March 4th, 1976
No information

So it looks as if, at the most, the series could have had eight episodes and at the least it could have had five.

Grady would probably have to be combined with Sanford Arms on DVD since it was a total of 14 eps between both shows and be called-"The Spinoffs of Sanford and Son"

I forgot to add that's there is another episode of Grady called-"Grady Learns to Drive" but the airdate hasn't been verified. So that would be 6 eps so far.

1.Grady Learns to Drive
2.Surprise Party
3.Fred Visits
4.Grady Goes Back to School
5.Second Honeymoon
6.Missing Quarters

Lol!! That's My Mama was a real show? I had heard of it before but thought that the person was joking!

I think I would buy The Ropers. I have always thought they were funny.
