What happened to Season 6 today????? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Robert 13 · 08-04-2009, 12:30 PM

It is now listed as "currently unavailable". Don't tell me VEI screwed up their one and only release for the year. Jeez, they had just 1 season to go before completing this series. What the hell happened?

cajunhillbilly · 08-04-2009, 01:05 PM

oh no. I preordered that too. I guess I will have to find an "alternate" source for season 6.

Robert 13 · 08-04-2009, 01:14 PM

I'm gonna do the same now. I was holding off on getting it through a trader because the official dvd release was announced. How could they mess up the final season like this? I've e-mailed VEI and they haven't responded. TSOD.com has no info. Amazon doesn't seem to know much either. What a way to release something?! I'm not getting involved in anymore VEI releases. They really are the worst (yes, even worse than Sony) in releasing tv-on-dvd.

Robert 13 · 08-04-2009, 01:34 PM

So I take it no one was interested in this release today besides myself and cajunhillbilly??? How did it get so high in the sales rank at amazon in Canada? Something is very fishy about this whole thing. Is VEI on the level?

Ron Ron · 08-04-2009, 02:53 PM

I also pre-ordered Kate and Allie. It's the only season I am missing. I havent received any word by email either.

Robert 13 · 08-04-2009, 03:00 PM

This is typical VEI. It's happened with Gimme a Break: Season 2, Stingray, The Stockard Channing Show and Cobra. We may not hear what happened for several days, if at all. It really is a shame because, like Ron Ron said, it is the only missing season. It's too bad their customer service is like this. I don't know who they are marketing this product to if they can't answer a single e-mail.

**UPDATE**

I received an e-mail from amazon. Season 6 has been delayed but they do not have a new release date yet. I was told it could be anywhere from several weeks to several months. This is why they are not accepting any orders currently until they can fulfill the orders they have received. Apparently, they have received many orders for Season 6. Hopefully, it will be sooner than later. The waiting continues...

We're hearing reports that it's being delayed by 2 weeks.

Thanks for the update

So does that mean those that have ordered are getting their copy? I should have asked Robert that.

I don't think so. I don't think amazon received any stock at all. They either weren't produced fast enough for the deadline or not delivered or something like that. If I hear anything new, I'll be sure to post it for everyone.

Here is the e-mail I received from Amazon about my pre-order

Hello from Amazon.ca.
We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered on June 20 2009

"Kate and Allie: Season 6" http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002BYYACW

Still want it? We'll keep on trying.

Robert 13 · 08-06-2009, 10:54 AM

I just got that e-mail too. It would be nice for VEI to give us an approximate date of when to expect it. They're not communicating with anyone about this for some reason. I'm quickly losing interest. They really dropped the ball on this one.

Ron Ron · 08-06-2009, 12:48 PM

I got the same email this morning too.

80SitcomNostalgic · 08-06-2009, 01:17 PM

I also received this e-mail this morning.
