Where are the 80's DVD releases this latter part of 2005? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Wildchats · 07-03-2005, 11:19 AM

By now, there shoulda been a few. Last year we got news that Diff'rent Strokes, Alf, 227 and Too Close for Comfort were all coming in later summer/early fall.

This year...nothing. No new show releases for 80's family comedies? And I'm not just talking about season 2 sets of those shows...I'm taking about season 1 releases of several that have been really high/ rumored to be going on DVD soon.

By now I expected to see at least Silver Spoons and Facts of Life. Sony was interested, but says they want to make sure fans want Silver Spoons on DVD, so people need to go to the site on Sony and vote there for it. Soon it will be released if this happens...hopefully. Aside from that, I don't know what is up with Facts of Life.

And where are Season's 3 and 4 of Punky Brewster? Is no company wanting to release these? No rumors?

Cosby Show, A Different World and Roseanne will all be out in the next six months for sure. Don't be too surprised if you see Silver Spoons, Designing Women, One Day At A Time and further seasons of Diff'rent Strokes and The Golden Girls before Christmas as well.

what about HART TO HART.

Felix Na Vi Da · 07-03-2005, 05:55 PM

I would love to know the status of Family Ties myself. Don't worry about Punky Season 2 was just released a few months ago, wait for it.There's a bunch of great 80s show I would to come out on DVD.

Werewolf - Never saw it but have heard great things about this short-lived Fox show. Right now there's a petition to get the Horror Channel to rebroadcast it. Hopefully it works because maybe Sony would then release it on dvd. If your interested the petition is here. http://pub18.bravenet.com/guestbook/1544827167/
Lonewolf the guy who created the petition and runs the Werewolf site put alot into this.

It's Your Move - Also never saw this but i'm a huge fan of Jason Bateman bceause of Arrested Development. This show just sounds amazing.

Jake and the Fatman - Nobody believes me this show exists because of the title, I'd love to see this again and prove people wrong.

it's strange how obscure this show has become, when you consider that it lasted five seasons. My mom used to love to watch that.

I second Perfect Strangers, as well as Kate and Allie and Family Ties.

I'm waiting patiently for Gimme a Break. I'm sure it will be released one day, I'm just hoping it's one day soon.

I hope so too, after FOL, it's my most wanted 80's sitcom on DVD that hasn't been announced yet.

Only prob is, Universal hasn't really done much for their sitcom catalog yet, so it'll probably be awhile before we get to see Nell (RIP) again

I'd love to get Gimme A Break as well. It's a great show.

A neat piece of trivia: somebody from the deaf school where I graduated from was in one of the 4th season episodes.

"Gimme a Break!" playing "Martha" in episode: "Earthquake" (episode # 4.19) 9 February 1985

Then there was an earthquake and they were trying to communicate to one another with difficulties.
