Thanks for the low down!!! I can hardly wait!!!

Jude The Obscure · 04-06-2008, 08:01 AM

Wow--another set!! But will this have more of those syndicated prints or will we have at last, unedited episodes?

OH Nuts! · 04-06-2008, 12:07 PM

I was so happy with SHOUT's last release of O & H. Whenever new releases come out I always have to find the ep guide for them to see how many repeaters I have. When the last one came out I was delighted to see there were 13 eps I didn't have. Hope I'm as lucky this time & hope this one has The Blue Moose episode which I've been just dying to see.

CJ · 04-06-2008, 05:05 PM

This is wonderful news, providing they don't repeat any of the episodes we already have from the Shout ''family'' release. There were 8 songs included with that release.

So far, 3 of the 12 songs reported to be included on the Best of Ricky and Dave release are:

Fools Rush In, Hello Mary Lou and Young Emotion

I keep a list of all the songs I have found on my own Ozzie & Harriet episodes and log which episode each song was found within. I in no way expect that my list is all inclusive, but I do keep track anytime I find a new episode with a song or read about an episode which may have included a song.

For those 3 songs mentioned, we might expect to find some of these great episodes on the release:

Fool’s Rush In
72: Be on Time 4/16/1954 - Fools Rush In [added later]
368: Rick's Wedding Ring 10/9/1963 - Fools Rush In

Hello, Mary Lou
304: Selling Rick's Drums 4/19/1961 - Hello, Mary Lou
307: Built-In TV Set 5/10/1961 - Travelin’ Man & Hello, Mary Lou
358: The Music Festival 6/6/1963 - Gypsy Woman & I Got A Woman & I Will Follow You & That’s All & Hello Mary Lou

Young Emotion
270: Dave and the Schoolteacher 5/4/1960 - Right By My Side & Young Emotion

On the downside, I fully expect the episodes will be the syndicated ones and running times will hover around 22 minutes.

But, I will take them !!!

Jude The Obscure · 04-06-2008, 05:17 PM

even if they are the syndicated prints, I will still buy the set, cuz I loves me some Ozzie, Harriet, David, Ricky, June, Kris, Wally, Ginger, Thorny, Doc, Clara, et al

honeybea · 04-07-2008, 10:33 AM

CJ, you are a very organized person and a true fan to do all that work! I have close to 200 episodes, most are edited. If someone doesn't soon come out with all the episodes, the people that remember the show will be dead. There's much money to be made off this show, PLEASE someone, get ALL the shows released and soon! Hopefully, unedited, but hey, we'll take then anyway we can get them.

For a classic old show that lasted 14 seasons and over 400 episodes, this one almost never gets seen on TV anymore. There is overkill with I Love Lucy, but a superior show like Ozzie & Harriet gets forgotten. Of all the DVD compilations that are out there, I would say the best one available right now is the 12 disc/100 episode set issued by Mill Creek Entertainment. It is called The Essential Ozzie & Harriet Collection. The majority of the episodes are full length versions and contain original commercials. I don't have this set yet but I'm thinking seriously about buying it.

gidgetgrape · 04-07-2008, 02:50 PM

Yippee! I can't wait. I would like to see more episodes of David and Rick before they were married.

So am I, Lee! Rich P's recommendation really has me wanting to get this.

In fact, let me see if Amazon has it.

They do have it, and at a great price--$17.97.
Well, that will be next on my list, once I have earned some more Amazon gcs

Lee G · 04-08-2008, 10:41 AM

Yep, I usually read consumer comments posted on Amazon before I buy DVD sets. For example, I was going to buy The Mr. Magoo Show complete series, but comments on Amazon complain that a number of episodes are altered and are not original. Apparently the voice of Magoo's asian houseboy Charlie was changed in some episodes. So these DVD's are another victim of censorship and so called political correctness. It is so ridiculous, and for that reason I won't be buying the Mr. Magoo DVD's.

honeybea · 04-08-2008, 05:03 PM

You won't be disapointed with this set, I have it and it is one of the best out there.

TV DVD Fan · 04-08-2008, 11:17 PM

It's weird--- I keep searching for info for this release, but all's I can come up with on sites like Amazon is a June 3rd release (by Shout) called The Best of Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Vol. One. It's a six-episode, one-disc set that is simply disc one from the first set released by the company.

TSoD has cover art and everything, so I'm just assuming that for some reason or another the studio has yet to officially announce the title. That's probably why we're not seeing it on Amazon yet.

honeybea · 04-21-2008, 01:25 PM

This just in: http://www.TVShowsOnDVD.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=9441
There's about TEN, yes, TEN episodes that I've never seen and don't have.
Rich, good news for you, the Blue Moose episode is included! I don't recall this episode either.

CJ · 04-22-2008, 01:05 AM

There are some really great episodes on this release. Many of them are among my personal faves.

It is interesting though. "Rick Gets Even" and "Rick And The Maid of Honor" do not include the songs.

Kroger, of all places, had a 4-episode DVD a couple of years ago [for a mere buck]. All four episodes had songs and running times in the 25 minute range, and in "Rick Gets Even" Rick sings near the end of the episode. Not one of those added at the end songs, but as part of the episode.

TV Guide also had a release a couple of years back which included, "Rick And The Maid of Honor"and Rick sang at the end of that one.

Strange, but again this is a very good selection. No new episodes for me, but I will still buy it.

Let's hope they keep 'em coming. Heck, I am down to only needing 92 more episodes
