That sounds great, Jack77! I certainly hope we get it released in time for the holidays - that'd be great for fans, and also great for sales!

By the by though - for those of us who already own the IDOJ Seasons 1 - 3 DVDs, will Sony be releasing DVDs of IDOJ Seasons 4 and 5 separately, as well as in the box set? The reunion specials sound great though - would be great if they could also be included in separately available DVD sets for Seasons 4 and 5 (some could be included in the Season 4 DVDs and the rest could be included in the Season 5 DVDs). Only reason I say this is because some more casual fans might, for example, want to buy either Season 4 or Season 5, but might not want to shell out the $$$ for Seasons 1 - 5. Also, since so many of us here already own the Season 1 - 3 DVDs, it seems a bit redundant to make us buy Seasons 1 - 3 again as part of the box set...

Not that I'm complaining - if the only way Sony wants to release the remaining two seasons of IDOJ is as part of the box set you describe, then that's great!!! - And I'll still buy the box set (even though I already have Seasons 1 - 3 on DVD) - just so I can get at the reunion specials and, of course, Seasons 4 and 5 of IDOJ!

So if I have seasons 1,2 and 3, now I have to buy them all over again??(as part of the box set.) Sorry, I pass

Well, if you're willing to not own Seasons 4 and 5 of I Dream of Jeannie, in the case that Seasons 4 and 5 are only released as part of the box set, then you obviously are not a big enough I Dream of Jeannie fan! Any true fan would want to have the complete series on DVD. Even if it meant buying redundant material included with the box set. I know I would buy the box set if that was the only way I could own Seasons 4 and 5 of IDOJ on DVD.

Sorry, although I am indeed a Jeannie fan, I feel that my mission in life is not to give Sony Home Entertainment extra cash.

You do have a point, and I'm going to refrain from debating on this matter further since it's really irrelevant to the thread. However, I will point out a possible suggestion: you could always sell the copies of Season 1 - 3 DVDs you already own if you do get the box set.

Jack77 · 02-04-2007, 11:49 PM

Subspace, I too was also going to suggest that to him and anyone else who have alreday bought Seasons 1-3 individually can just sell off their sets on either ebay or to Video/Game stores which buy old DVD's. There is still a strong possibilty that Sony will release Season 4 & 5 individually. And then if you are a huge & true Jeannie fan you will buy the box set that will include the extras. I will tell you this right now, the fans are going to be happy with the extras on the box set because there are going to be a couple of reunions on there that a lot of fans want! I for one will buy anything that comes with extras including interviews, commentaries from the cast, etc... I hope they do what Bewitched is doing for their box set & include a trip with Barbara back to the old Screen Gems Studios now called Sunset Gower Studios today. I know Barbara last year returned with Leonard Maltin of ET for the 40th anniversary. That would be great to see that on the extras as well as all the footage of Barbara & Larry on their first DVD tour when they went to New York to promote Season 1 on DVD. It would be great to see footage from the Barnes & Nobles DVD signing, behind the scenes from GMA, The Martha Stewart, The View & Access Hollywood as well as the Barbara & Larry Q&A from Access Hollywood. I would also like to see old NBC promos and bloopers, rare home movies from behind the scenes and the Hawaii episodes. There is so much that Sony can splash onto these extras, so lets hope someone at Sony that is working on these reads this & acts fast! STAY TUNED...

That is AWESOME news!!!

Thanks! Wonder if it'll have the B&W version of S1 or colorized version?? Guess we'll find out! This is great! Thanks!

munsters100 · 02-05-2007, 10:44 PM

Are both of the movies comming too?

Scoobiedoo30 · 02-05-2007, 10:58 PM

this is way Awsome News

Heidi Dawn · 02-06-2007, 01:16 PM

I already have seasons 1-3, so I hope seasons 4 & 5 are released individually.

Subspace · 02-06-2007, 06:33 PM

Alright guys, here's the scoop on this thread.

Off the record, there will be a season 4 and 5 season boxed set, but there is no Complete Series Boxed Set in the works and not likely to ever be one. The closest thing you may ever see is a repackaging of all five seasons sold as one set later in the future once all five seasons are on the market. That type of thing is done to regenerate sales interest.

So that's that. I think it's great that Season 4 and Season 5 will be released, and individually, that way IDOJ fans won't be forced to 're-buy' Seasons 1 - 3. It's too bad about the extras, but Patterson does go on to provide a lengthy explanation on how complicated and costly it can be to get extras/bloopers on DVD. But the most important thing, after all, is getting the entire series on DVD. As long as we get that - and we will - I have nothing to complain about.

They are doing the same thing to Bewitched (seasons 1-4 of that show have been released of the eight season total). Speculation is that if you want the rest of the unreleases seasons (5-8 for Bewitched or 4-5 of Jeannie, you will have to anti up the money for the whole sets.

Well I can't say about the speculation for Bewitched but as I posted above, for I Dream of Jeannie, it's fact that Seasons 4 and 5 will be released individually. A box set of the complete series may be released later, as a promotional/marketing gimmick, but it certainly wouldn't be the only thing released.

As it should be. I have no desire to buy 1-3 again. I don't doubt you, obviously just didn't see your post.
