Letter to pavanbadal - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dear Pavan,

I have a proposal for you: to launch a Multimedia section on your website showcasing full length episodes of Classic TV shows that people can download onto their computer PCs. Among shows I'd like to see included on your site include the following: "Dennis The Menace" (1950s Jay North sitcom), "Growing Pains" (Seasons 2 through 7, all taped off their original ABC network episodes, including original network promos and commercials), and "Lassie" (1950s TV series starring Jon Provost). Thanks for reading.

Sincerely,
Grundoon Katt

Not to be rude, but I think this belongs more on the site suggestions board.

Interesting suggestion, Grundoon, but I don't think Todd (site owner) can license TV shows like that. If we could, it would probably cost a ton of money per episode. You can watch Growing Pains on In2TV.com, but not with original commercials/promos, but they are unedited for the most part.

Even if we had them taped from our archives and to be able to put them on the website, the production companies would not like that and would threaten to sue because that is pirated and illegal.
