"Jackie Gleason: Genius At Work" DVD

[Bill S.]

I decided to check out the Jackie Gleason Enterprises website since I hadn't been there in a while, and to my surprise I found out about [what appears to be] a new DVD released by MPI called "Jackie Gleason: Genius At Work." According to the website, it's exclusively available through PBS at this time, but I can't seem to find it on the PBS website. Has anyone seen/heard about this release? This is the first time I'm hearing about this, and I'd definitely like to get my hands on it. Here's the link to the site if you don't already have it:

I couldn't find it either . It looks & sounds wonderful though so I hope someone can help.

Hmm...it says there that it was released on March 1st. Even though it's exclusively available through PBS, it's still an MPI release, which could potentially be good news. The only strange thing is, there's not one word about it on MPI's website. Hopefully someone can clear this all up for us.

Bill. A far as I know it was only available to people who pledged their life savings to PBS..well not quite that much, but about $500. That's the ad they ran when they aired the special. I don't think it will be officially released, at least not until PBS has received enough orders for it. I sent you a pm.
