This is so great! I haven't seen Gimme a Break reruns in about 16 years. It'll be nice to have the episodes on DVD.

ClassicTV4Ever · 11-21-2005, 10:37 AM

Just got the e-mail. I am psyched beyond belief. And did the calculation and it also turns out that the episodes will be unedited!! I'm on the verge of doing cartwheels!!

jeffersonsfan · 11-21-2005, 10:44 AM

Great news! I'm so happy!

Eric777 · 11-21-2005, 11:01 AM

Its great news and sad news at the same time
I just wish our Nell could be here to celebrate

MacLeaper · 11-21-2005, 11:28 AM

Wow! I loved Gimme a Break! as a child. It's been a long time since I've seen it regularly. The last time I caught an episode was a few years ago when a local station happened to be running it. I've haven't seen this show (other than that) since the 1980s, so it'll be great to see Season 1 on DVD!!! Awesome!

I feel the same way, I couldn't believe it when I got the email this morning, I had to read it twice. This has made my day. So next Feburary 14th I'll be at Best Buy getting my DVD.

Wildchats · 11-21-2005, 03:34 PM

Everone buy season 1. If you don't, we probably will have a harder chance to get season 2 and others on DVD. Remember, 227 was just as popular...IN RERUNS THAT IS...BLAH. 227 is never seen anymore, and it's season 1 didn't get many buyers, so there have been no more releases.

I say this because we waited this long for GAB. I love this show. Eric loves this show. Everyone on here loves this show. Let's all buy season 1. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, people you meet in the street, et. I'm sure people in their late 30's and on would buy it. People younger, who never heard of it, probably wont, unless they remember it in re-runs on USA or on channels when they were like 5 or 6 in the late 80's. Hahaha!

So buy, buy, buy!!!

gidgetgrape · 11-21-2005, 03:49 PM

Yay!!

I can't wait to get it.

I'll plan on buying it...i can't wait

TennX · 11-21-2005, 10:34 PM

This is so awesome! I definitly plan on getting this!!! And just as Wildchats says, if the sales for this season doesn't do well, we won't see a season 2. Look at Night Court season 1. Most people want to wait until season 3 comes out because that's when Markie Post joined the cast, but there might not even be a season 3 set because not enough people got season 1.

If you don't have 35 bucks to shell out, start saving NOW.

TJ · 11-21-2005, 10:56 PM

A first look at the Season One cover. Is anyone surprised they are calling it "Season One" and not the "Complete First Season"? Was there any music used in season 1 that could be replaced?

I don't know about music as in popular songs. But Nell did sing a few songs in season 1, if I recall.

MischievousSpirit · 11-22-2005, 12:58 PM

If this DVD set is edited in anyway, I simply won't buy it. Universal is notorius for replacing music on their sets. Look at Knight Rider and Quantum Leap. Is there anyway somebody can find out as soon as possible, whether or not anything is edited? I find it very strange that the Charles In Charge set says "The Complete First Season", and Gimme a Break only says "Season One."

At least they're using single sided DVD's instead of those stupid DVD-18s.
