whats up, i hope all is well, hey i am not going to get into Happy Days season 2 release, but i think i have figured why the other series has not been out yet, i could be wrong, but i feel that the reasons why HD, L&S AND M&M FIRST COMPLETE season was out was because i think that paramount has been getting letters from fans requesting them, as we all no these shows that we grew up watching was popular and i do not think that rights to the music is much of there concern, i just think they put out what fans request, the same thing with the brady bunch, they could have gotten letters requestiong there series releases, that could be the problem, based on the letter that i got from them about happy days season 2, they said the more fans request them the more they have a good chance of releasing them, i do not think its the poor sells, i think that they want more fans request them by writing to them, its like writing to a star for a picture if they do not get a fan letter then they will not send out a autograph picture, that is just something that i figured, if fans of hd really want to see more releases on dvd the only hope is for them to write to paramount letting them no, i think that they will listen, because i think that the letters are the key, and they might be getting tons of letters by now, think about it the brady bunch dvd might not hve ever been out if if was not for fans writing in, letters makes a difference, again i could be wrong

PARAMOUNT is a big company that cares about one thing only and thats money.as i have said time and time again i do believe that if they get enough feed back from people more episodes will come out but i think only in a BEST OF type of format.as far as all 255 episodes with all 11 seasons in tact i just don't think so.too expensive for paramount.

I know MASH is probably under a different company, but didn't it run from, like, 1970-1983?? Is that company not releasing season by season's of it?? It's not that it's too expensive for Paramount to do HD on dvd, I think they are worried that the later season's will not sell as well as the earlier ones. Then, the money they put into making the later season's they'll take a loss (in their minds), plus I hear that it is also a licsensing hold up for the rights to the music used in the show. All it is in a nutshell is a money racket. Whoever holds the rights to the original music used & not the generic music in syndication, may want too much money to release the total music for the series, thus, the hold up or stand still. So Paramount refuses to issue future season's. Believe me, Paramount HAS the money to do it, it's probably a legal entanglement concerning the above 2 statements. Later season sales & the original music. What's that old saying- you have to spend money to make money. Paramount can't spend the money because their hands are probably tied because they probably don't want to give up too much money for the music rights. But, I would like to see future seasons issued myself ASAP.
