Why isn't this On DVD Sets,Are They Waiting For Alan Young to Miss it. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just don't understand a classic like this isn't on DVD Seasons Sets. All The Big 60s Show are on DVD but this isn't,it's a disgrace. It's even a mockery when you see that Grace Under Fire is coming out and shows like Mr. Belvedere, Designing Women,My Two Dads and Blossom have came out before it.

What are they waiting for,Alan Young isn't so young anymore.It would be great to have him talking about the show as extra while his with us not when he isn't.

Who is the mug holding out of it not getting out for the world too see.

Is it because it's black and white,well color it if they think it won't sell. i didn't noticed the difference with Bewitched colored in those early seasons.

It annoyed me when Get Smart came out after Don Adams Death denying him a chance too see it out on DVD completely and maybe getting a interview on it.The same thing with the Gilligan's Island set with Bob Denver

The last news I read was that it was a rights issue.

Another issue with rights and no matter what they say its all about money and getting paid. I would like to see this show come out on DVD season by season, but once again greed keeps the fans from seeing the shows they want to see.

I guess we'll have to settle for Francis, the Talking Mule movies starring Donald O'Connor. I haven't seen one of those in nearly 20 years.

Of minor note: I do see Alan in his role a little bit -- fairly often, as My Network TV has been showing an old ad for Studebaker Automobiles starring Ed and Wilbur. They talk about performance/reliability and tell viewers to go to a Stude dealer for a demonstration drive. (I think there's still at least one building left in downtown South Bend, IN that was once a Stude dealership, but most were demolished years ago in misguided urban clearance acts that failed to accomplish anything other than destruction and waste.)

We know that Studebaker production (aside from the Avanti) in the U.S. ended in Dec. 1963, so that helps us roughly date the commercial (some Canadian production continued for a few years afterward) -- Mr. Ed debuted in Jan. of 1961.
