Hi, please someone, anyone, can you tell me where I can buy the courtship of eddies father on DVD?

paisleynut · 08-16-2006, 09:37 PM

Hi! Episodes of "Courtship of Eddie's Father" aren't available on DVD yet, unless you buy them on the Internet (Ebay or Amazon). I've yet to see them officially on DVD and available in stores such as Best Buy. The show's release on DVD is long overdue since it premiered almost 37 years ago and a lot of people loved it.

Thank you, I wish they would put it out. My hubby loved that show and I am trying to get my hands on it for a surprise for him. I found the ones on ebay and amazon but i guess it was the movie not the show. Thank you for your reply!! Susan

Thanks for your help. I am going to order this one. I haven't seen it since it first came out... but it is another keeper. I also noticed iOffer.com had the entire series of Newhart.
I don't care if it is home recorded or professionally done. I just love to see these classics. It is a very cool feeling and very comfortable to see these wonderful shows again.

Thank you much for the info Comedy Freak!

No problem at all, I'm glad I could be of help. I felt the same way that's why I purchased my copy of Courtship and I'm very satisfied with the dvd quality. It will hold me over until they decide to release the series on dvd. I thinking of getting The Lucy Show the b&w's with Vivian Vance when they shared a house.

I would LOVE to find this on DVD. I ordered from dvdplanet.com once and never got my dvd's.

unfotunetaly, it has yet to get an official DVD release.

Season 1 of "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" is now available officially on DVD from Warner Bros. Archive!!!

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Cou...Season-1/15995

(which is really cool to see because this is such a great show. Bill Bixby did such a great job just as he did with his other shows like "The Magician" and "The Incredible Hulk".)

Does anybody know if the original music is intact on this set? If they didn't have Let me tell you 'bout my best friend, it wouldn't seem right. (I got burned on Flipper Season 2 where they subbed some guy singing the theme--it just ain't right!--but that was another "on demand" deal--different studio, of course...)

We hope to have a review up for this set soon when we receive it. Hopefully all of the episodes are uncut and in decent shape. The press release says they are remastered. I can't imagine they would replace the iconic theme song and Harry Nilsson's great music.

This newly remastered edition finds Eddie, Tom and Mrs. Livingston looking crisper and cleaner than ever. An instant family classic, The Courtship of Eddie's Father shared little with the 1963 film on which it was nominally based, opting instead to break new ground on television. Creator James Komack (also seen on screen as supporting character Norman Tinker) chose to make the relationship between father (Bill Bixby as the widowed magazine executive, Tom Corbett) and grade-school son (Brandon Cruz as his son Eddie) the central focus of the show. As epitomized by the Harry Nilsson penned and performed signature theme song, that relationship - in turns sober, sweet, and silly - was something not seen before on TV comedies or dramas, a nurturing father figure who treats his offspring with equal measures of love, respect, and understanding. In short, a parent who treats his child as an equal. Not to be forgotten are the contributions of acting great Miyoshi Umeki, playing housekeeper Mrs. Livingston. Among the first season guest stars to keep an eye out for in this 4-Disc, 26 Episode Collection are a young Jodie Foster, Cicely Tyson, once and future Star Trek star Diana Muldaur, and Martha Scott.

Is this actually on DVD, and DVD-r? There are so many WB MOD products I wish to purchase, but they're pressed on dvd-r's, and don't play on all machines. It doesn't say anywhere that its NOT a regular dvd set. Is Warner finally doing this RIGHT?

comedyfreak · 09-30-2011, 03:59 AM

I ordered my copy can't wait for it to get here.
