Wonder if Sony will now release the next season of Maude so that fans can - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

pay a tribute to Bea Arthur in their home by seeing what a great actress she as like Anchor Bay when John Ritter passed. But then again ths is SONY so I wouldn't be surprised if there was no agression on Sony's end

I hope so. Maybe Bea's passing will generate enough interest that more Maude gets released to DVD. A lot of the younger generation has seen Golden Girls, but not Maude (or very little Maude). I've seen the first season - I want to see more!!

It annoys me that WE or Lifetime or Hallmark or Oxygen won't pick up MAUDE.

Why pick up one bea arthur show that was a hit and not the other?

Your guess is as good as mine, Sol.

I'm guessing (and hoping) sony will release season 2 of Maude, and remaining seasons of All in the Family and The Jeffersons following the release of the Norman Lear Box set. It would make sense to me!

Season 1 of Maude has been in Amazon's top 10 comedy box-set sales since the day she died, and only today slipped to #17!

It's on back order for 1 - 3 weeks!

That's INCREDIBLE! If Sony doesn't see the interest now... well then they never will!

And the Intimate Portrait Collection for the 4 Golden Girls is out of print and is selling for 100.00 on Amazon!

Well hopefully that can lead to a new release

Wow! You're right - if Sony doesn't get the picture now, they never will.

If I recall correctly, the last time MAUDE aired on television was on TVLand years ago. I wonder if there is any licensing snafu in which the other networks have not picked it up (Lifetime, WE, Hallmark - though I can't see this show playing on Hallmark, to be honest with you) and/or why the other seasons were never released on DVD?

...and it looks like they haven't. Bea's been gone for almost 8 months now, and still no new release. Booooooo...
