Advice for anyone voting in this poll: vote for the show that you DON'T want released. That way, the show with the most votes won't come out...you know, like last time.

vashti1999 · 12-17-2006, 05:20 AM

By the way, for anyone who forgot, these were more or less the final standings of Sony's last poll, as of October 2005. In bold are the dvds that have been released in at least one season set since then.

One Day at a Time
25.32%

Benson
10.77%

Action
5.42%

Silver Spoons
5.13%

Facts of Life
4.65%

Designing Women
1.35%

Highway Patrol
0.34%

VIP
0.32%

Street Time
0.02%

Oh wow! That's right. The ones that DIDN'T lead the polls got released and the ones that did are god knows where ... sigh.

Here's the current standings:
The $treet 9.7%
Bette! 14.02%
Michael Hayes 5.23%
What's Happening Now! 21.41%
The Rookies 20.8%
Police Story 19.56%
Cupid 9.24%

Johnny Cash was coming but I have no idea what happened. It even had a set date but it was pulled almost last minute. ODAAT and DeW are said to be coming, but they have been saying that for years now and have never scheduled it for a set. They BETTER schedule them in 2007.

As for this poll, I think it is very likely we will see WHN!! because WH!! was a big success for Sony. Rookies and Police Story would be likely, too.

Robert 13 · 12-17-2006, 01:09 PM

I hope we hear an announcement for WHN!! very soon. I hope they continue the WH trend and release all 3 seasons. I'm eager for Season 2 because of the episode where Shirley and Nadine go on a road trip. I wonder if they will continue the digipak packaging or the new slim-line cases they have been using for their recent releases. I'm hoping for the slim-line cases with more room for pics. I can't wait for this release!!

Yet for some reason, none of these three are released and/or part of this latest poll. I don't get it.

(Unless, of course, plans are already in making for these and they want to figure out what's next.)

TV_Fan · 12-17-2006, 08:47 PM

Don't forget Silver Spoons. First it wss supposed to get released, then not. Then it was going to I TV, then not. I don't think I'm ever going to see this show again.

robby76 · 12-17-2006, 09:36 PM

I voted WHN.

I'd love to see Silver Spoons and One Day At A Time at some point!!! Thing with ODAAT is that it's a whole 10 seasons which may seem risky to start the ball rolling.

mlingerfelt · 12-17-2006, 10:38 PM

what about a poll more of like Who.s the Boss,Different Strokes,227 and SWAT.

B&W fan · 12-18-2006, 03:32 PM

Well, I'm not a huge Sony TVonDVD fan simply because they seem to be alergic to their entire black & white catalog. And even when they do release a show from the b&w era, they feel the need to colorize it [i.e. Bewitched, Jeannie].

Now here they are throwing out more 70's and 80's stuff, while some of their absolute best material is languishing in the vaults. Shows like "Father Knows Best", "Dennis the Menace", "Highway Patrol", and "The Donna Reed Show." Gosh it's sad to see a company be so apathetic to their classics. They could take a real lesson from Paramount, who is easily the king of classic TVonDVD at this point. They aren't afraid to release shows from the 50's and 60's.

looks like WHN and The Rookies are in the lead.

mlingerfelt · 12-25-2006, 01:15 PM

vashti1999 · 12-27-2006, 02:58 PM

Police Story 18.78%
