We now know subsequent seasons of The Lucy Show are in the works, and I've heard (though not officially) that season 3 of Petticoat Junction is ,too, but have heard nothing on The Beverly Hillbillies. Anybody know anything through the grapevine?

It seems that what happens with sales of these DVD releases is that with each season release, the sales go down a little from the previous season. Season 1 releases do much better than Season 2 and on down the line. So, if you have series with five or more seasons, there is a bit of a risk involved. I don't know what the sales of TBH have been, but I can't imagine people haven't been buying them.

What needs to happen is something like Shout! taking the lead and releasing all nine seasons (274 episodes) of TBH at once. I really think that would be a hit!

They are about to release the entire series of Leave it To Beaver, with 234 episodes. Shout! is doing it. On Amazon, it is retailing for $139 which to me is a steal.

In my opinion, they should have been releasing the entire series at once years ago. "I Love Lucy" sold by the season for a 3 or 4 years, then CBS Paramount released the whole series. It seemed to be unnecessary extra cost.

Release the whole series at once I say! We don't have that kind of patience!
