Looking forward to season 2 DVD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

20thcenturyboy · 03-26-2005, 01:43 AM

I recently bought the season 1 DVD and concur with statements made by others about it taking you back to your childhood. And I don't mean that in a "I want to live in the past" way. I really got this DVD for my children. When I become a parent I want my kids to watch the show and hopefully they will enjoy it as much as I did.

I hadn't seen the show in almost 10 years. It's been a long time. Even though some of the slang, dress and music are dated it's still a very relevant show.

I bought the first season dvd for myself (of course.) I have a niece and nephew who came over along with other family members during Thanksgiving. They saw Diff'rent Strokes in my collection and asked if they could watch it, so I let them watch a few episodes. I wa surprised they got into it as much as they did. They really liked it, so I ended up buying them their own copy for Christmas.

I'm looking forward to S2 as well, but I hope all the multi-part episodes aren't the syndication versions like they are in the first set. Season 2 has more multi-part eps than any other season, according to TV Tome...

Does anyone know if or when season 2 will be available?

Nothing yet. I'm not getting too worried yet since Sony takes forever with releasing some of their shows. Hopefully we'll eventually get word on future releases.

very very true. Sony took a full year between seasons 1 and 2 of Good Times, yet they've done considerably better since. IIRC, they took a long time between season 1 and 2 of Soap, yet season 3 came out fairly quickly afterwards and now season 4 will be out soon.

I just wanna know for sure that DS hasn't joined Sony's "crap pile" like S.W.A.T., Larry Sanders and Mad About You have. Season 1 is comparitively weak compared to some of the latter seasons.

Season 2 coming soon... maybe!

I got the Bewitched - Season 1 set and there is a little brochure for some other Sony TV DVD releases. They list Diff'rent Strokes - Seasons 1-2.. so it looks like it is coming, although no date has been announced yet.

ooooh, thanks TJ!! I have been having a great day but knowing that Sony has not abandoned Arnold, Willis, Kimberly and Mr. D makes it even nicer.

That will be good if it comes out soon, hopefully with some more extras like the first season. At least it also shows the first season must have sold quite well which means there is hope for more seasons to come.

I also hope that the Season 2 DVD comes out soon. I haven't seen much of Season 2 - the only episode I can really remember is the episode 'The Squealer' where Willis joins a gang called the Tarantulas and ends up getting arrested.

However, because I have really enjoyed the other seasons of the show that I have seen (Seasons 1, 3, 4, and 5), I am eager to purchase Season 2.

Pavan said he thinks November will be a likely release month for season 2, so I wouldn't expect to hear a TSOD announcement until the end of August or sometime in September. Let's just hope the gap between season 2 and season 3 is a tad bit shorter than fourteen months.
