I probably need to see 2 months of the show before I answer that question. There may be a chance though because I actually enjoyed some of the eps over the weekend

robyrob · 06-05-2006, 01:06 PM

definately, i knew that i would buy it before seeing the marathon; it just made me want it even more

Mikado · 06-05-2006, 01:09 PM

nope, i only buy shows i like

GSU2004 · 06-05-2006, 01:14 PM

I'll purchase it. Since many have stated that there were different endings taped of the finale, I would love for the DVD package to include all the endings as well the longer version of theme music.

No problem...thanks for at least not being a jerk about it like some people probably would.

...Sony restored to DVD the FULL one-minute opening title of almost every episode, and the "tags" that originally ended each episode (short codas to the evening's plotline that allowed Benson and the other cast members a "last laugh"), yes, I would buy it. If, however, they packaged the same "syndicated" versions of the episodes now running on TV LAND, forget it!!!

p.s. I know I'll NEVER see the transition after the second act, when James Noble announced, "'BENSON', starring Robert Guillaume, will continue", ever again. They only appeared on ABC before the last commercial break.

Pavan · 06-05-2006, 01:49 PM

I think we will see it on DVD, since Soap did well for them.

Believe it or not, SGN ran that announcement with James Noble when they aired Benson.

so when will we find out how well the marathon did in the ratings?

Pavan · 06-05-2006, 03:16 PM

Probably tomorrow or Wednesday they will do a press release, if it did well. I'll try to find out either way how it did.

Scoobiedoo30 · 06-05-2006, 03:49 PM

I would be The First one in Line at Best Buy to Buy Benson on DVD

TV Knowledge Fan · 06-05-2006, 04:13 PM

Well, at least the transition frame WAS seen on "SGN" at LEAST once, 'BensonFan'. But don't look for it when the series becomes available on DVD!
