What are your predictions for sitcoms on DVD in 2006? Post them here.

[gilligan fanatic]

I am thinking that the second season of Beaver will come out. Maybe by the Summer. At least I hope.

[vashti1999]

I would also predict that we will see additional seasons for ALF, All in the Family, Arrested Development, Bewitched, The Bob Newhart Show, Charles in Charge, The Cosby Show, Diff'rent Strokes, Everybody Loves Raymond, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Full House, Gimme A Break, The Golden Girls, Green Acres, Growing Pains, Hogan's Heroes, Home Improvement, The King of Queens, Leave it to Beaver, Married with Children, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, My Favorite Martian, The Nanny, NewsRadio, Night Court, The Partridge Family, Reba, Scrubs, The Simpsons, That '70s Show, Too Close for Comfort, and Who's the Boss?.

I agree with the predictions of all those continuations, with an a question mark for The Nanny and Who's The Boss, just because it's Sony. They're confusing sometimes. But I can definitely see another season of Diff'rent Strokes before the year is over (fingers crossed).

If Sony continues with releasing some of their one year wonders, I'd like to see Square Pegs come out. If they push 80s sitcoms, it'd be great to pair 227 Season 2 with What's Happening Now Season 1.

I think Martin will debut this year also.

My two biggest hopes, not predictions, are for season sets of One Day At A Time and Welcome Back Kotter. There are others I'd like, but those are the two main ones I hope to see.

This may be a bold prediction, but I think that we'll see another season of Bewitched, another season of Bob Newhart and the debuts of Gidget and The Flying Nun.

My wish list of shows that I want to see on DVD are...

Pistols 'N' Petticoats (1966) 26 episodes;

He & She (1967) 26 episodes;

The Mothers-in-Law (1967) 56 episodes;

The Pruitts of Southampton (1966) 30 episodes and starred Phyllis Diller;

Please Don't Eat The Daisies (1965) 56 episodes;

The Debbie Reynolds Show (1969) 26 episodes;

My World and Welcome to it (1969) 26 (?) episodes;

Arnie (1970) 52 (?) epsidoes;

And many more!

very interesting and thorough analysis of the year to come in DVD's. I hope your predictions all ring true.

I notice you said you think we'll see season 2 of GAB this year, that would be fantastic becuase Universal isn't always the most reliable company to get followups from. I would certainly hope at least the first five of the six seasons makes it to shelves because it's a great, underrated, and somewhat forgotten gem.

I hope I can still enjoy it (I admit that some of Dana Plato's scenes on Diff'rent Strokes are hard to watch knowing what happened to her, like the ice-skating episode in season 5), it's kinda eerie that seemingly every adult on the show minus Telma Hopkins has died though Hopefully Nell knows wherever she is that she is missed

[TV DVD Fan]

I predict more Bob Newhart, MTM if sales are good enough for season three, Golden Girls, possibly more Nanny, more Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, All in the Family, The Jeffersons, etc.

I predict a big Lucy year as well- TLDCH, TLS, HL Seasons, and even maybe a few specials thrown in here and there!

Starters on DVD- PJ Seasons, The Phil Silvers Show, The Beverly Hillbillies seasons, Family Ties?, Facts of Life, and I also for some reason can't help but think alot of classic 50's shows are gonna be released like "Love That Bob", "Ozzie and Harriet", "Burns and Allen", "The Life of Riley", "Our Miss Brooks", etc. (I'M TALKING SEASON SETS!)

The Ropers, Three's A Crowd- stand a good chance as well

I predict a HUGE Get Smart release pulling out the stops from HBO (possibly even bigger than SEINFELD on DVD! Not an easy task! (or at least the release will come close to Seinfeld standards))

I predict some more Bob Newhart in NEWHART, a decent Odd Couple release (Jack is at least recording a commentary track (see TSOD)), and The Honeymooners in color.

I won't even list the shows that are a given to have future releases like TAGS, so I'll leave it at that. Wouldn't be a bad year, huh?

[Johnny S]

I'm just posting new series that I have interest in, not returning series.

April:

Drew Carey Show, The: Season 1
Family Matters: Season 1

May:

That '80's Show: Complete Series (It ran during That '70s Show S4 didn't it?)

June:

Two Guys, A Girl & A Pizza Place: Season 1

July:

Sabrina The Teenage Witch: Season 1

August:

Dharma & Greg: Season 1
Yes, Dear: Season 1

September:

Joey: Season 1
Two & A Half Men: Season 1

8 Simple Rules: Season 1

If all of this happens in '06 my "Must Have" list will only have 5 more shows on it!!!

[JulieSomoski]

First of all, Family Matters is getting a best of release in June, and also I think there will bemore Roseanne seasons this year:

March: Season 3
June: Season 4 ( these 2 I know for sure)
October: Season 5
Halloween Release
January 2007: Season 6
April: Season 7
July: Season 8
October: Season 9

[Wings#1ShowPeriod]

Im hoping that Wings has at least up to Season 3 released by the end of the year... Also, at least That 70s Show has up to Season 6, maybe 7 and 8 Simple Rules has a DVD release.

[Dean Winchester]

I cross my fingers for the following in 2006:

Charmed seasons 5-7 (season 6 is where my collection absolutely ends, but I think season 7 will likely be out this year too)
Diff'rent Strokes season 3 (I dunno why but I envision August for this... even though I don't even yet know if season 2 will sell enough for season 3)
Facts Of Life seasons 1/2 (I think Sony might finally listen to fans once and for all and stop holding lackluster sales of other shows against it. FOL and DS are related but I know fans of DS who don't like FOL and FOL fans who don't like DS)
Gimme A Break season 2 (please let season one be a success on DVD)
Golden Girls seasons 5-7 (word got out that Betty White recorded commentary for season 5, so likely season 5 might be out in May... if they follow this up, season 7 will complete this series in November)
Kate And Allie seasons 1/2 (rumored for a spring release, I am sure 1 and 2 will be released together since season 1 was so short)
Mama's Family seasons 1/2 (season 1 at least has been mentioned as coming in 06... hopefully the NBC episodes are packaged together)
One Day At A Time season 1 (been rumored since Sept 2004... apparantly rumors are spreading about an April release.... Mackensie Phillips herself even says it's time for DVD)
Roseanne seasons 4-5 (the show enters its peak... if they keep going at the every 3 month rate, at least these two will be out this year, maybe season 6 at the end of the year but I figure it'll at least be out by early 2007)
Seinfeld seasons 7-9 (you KNOW it's coming, there's no shock about this, season 7 likely on May 16th and seasons 8 and 9 to coincide with Thanksgiving)
Simon And Simon season 1 (with Knight Rider and A-Team coming to an end on DVD, maybe Universal will see fit to release this alongside future Magnum P.I. sets... the show is great up until the time Tim Reid leaves the cast and I'd definately like to have this one to keep)
