It's been a while since we've heard anything about season one on DVD, anything doing for the Spring, as expected?

I hope there's news soon

gilligan fanatic · 03-20-2006, 08:30 PM

not a big update, but here is one
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=5350

As of right now The Odd Couple is the only show in my top ten list not to be on DVD.

treky · 03-21-2006, 02:32 AM

at least PARAMOUNT has said that it IS coming!

Last I heard, PARAMOUNT hadn't said anything official yet.

Now, if only someone would give us more news about "GET SMART" & "GOMER PYLE U.S.M.C."

(or the rest of "BARNEY MILLER". It's been, like, 3 years now, and all we have is season 1

)

I sent an e-mail to THE ODD COUPLE website about that, and they said that, despite what it says, that news is PROBABLY false, and doesn't come from PARAMOUNT. Because, Jack Klugmans son, Adam, said before that his father is recording some comentarry for the DVDs, but, when she asked Jack Klugman about it, he said he didn't know anything about it.

However, she said, she could be wrong, and it IS coming. So, keep your fingers and toes crossed, everyone!!!

I hope they are wrong about it. Even if this info is false, I am sure eventually it will come to DVD. If not this fall, next year sometime.

In my opinion this show should have been released a long time ago! Paramount is painfully slow in releasing shows on DVD!

treky · 04-24-2006, 01:49 AM

sometimes I think that these guys are in charge of releasing the DVDs

after all, look at "Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C." That was supposed to come out in January!!!

TV DVD Fan · 05-21-2006, 12:39 PM

Springtime is here, PHE. THE ODD COUPLE was supposed to be out by Spring, and we don't even have official news yet!

PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME, WHAT THE HELL IS TAKING THEM SO LONG?

Pat

gilligan fanatic · 05-21-2006, 01:03 PM

aww, when I saw the thread come up I thought there was new info. This has to be one of the longest and biggest fan based show not to be on DVD yet.

treky · 05-21-2006, 02:49 PM

well, according to TVSHOWSONDVD.COM-I wrote to them a couple months ago-a spokesman for Paramount says that it WILL DEFINETALY be realeased. Unfortunately though, he didn't say when. But he said Paramount KNOWS that people want to see it on DVD, and they're working hard to get it released.

TV DVD Fan · 05-22-2006, 03:20 PM

Thanks treky. At least we have something to look forward to.

Pat

treky · 05-22-2006, 03:35 PM

you're welcome!

However, not to throw a damper on it and dash eveyone's hopes, but the person who runs THE ODD COUPLE website conducted an interview with Jack Klugman in Feb.; and when she asked him about a DVD release of the series, he didn't know anything about it. And he's supposebly doing commentaries for it!!

TV_Fan · 07-09-2006, 12:30 AM

According to tvshowsondvd The Odd Couple Season 1 will be released by Time-Life in August. How the hell did Time Life end up getting it? That sucks, I'd rather be able to get it discounted in the stores. Oh well, at least it's coming and will have extras.

vashti1999 · 07-09-2006, 01:08 AM

And here's the art. Not the best they could have come up with.

Maybe the TimeLife deal is just a temporary/trial thing. Sony eventually released season 1 of What's Happening after it had been available only through TimeLife, and Urbanworks eventually picked up Fat Albert after TimeLife had it. Don't know if that's the case with The Odd Couple though. I prefer the show post-season one anyway, so I'll probably wait to see what happens with season two.
