To Purple_Eyes: Question Re Columbia House - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Purple_eyes, if you're out there: Is it true that Columbia House is no longer able to release series owned by Fox? The reason I ask is that, as a WKRP In Cincinnati nut who's dismayed at the lack of 'KRP on video (just one very badly chosen set with cuts and music changes and none of the most famous episodes), I was considering creating and circulating a petition for a Columbia House "WKRP" release. But since 'KRP is owned by Fox now, would it do any good for me to circulate such a petition, or could CH get the show if there was enough demand?

I e-mailed CH customer service about this, but all I got was an auto-response email saying that the series is not available from CH--well, I knew that, but could CH even get it if there was enough demand?

It's true. Columbia no longer has the rights to offer Fox series. We continue to get requests, but for now we're still negotiating for the rights.

PURPLE EYES IS IT POSSIBLE THAT COLUMBIA HOUSE WILL RELEASE WKRP IN CINCINATI?
I WOULD RATHER THAT COLUMBIA HOUSE RELEASE IT OVER FOX.
