It doesn't look good today for fans still waiting for The Nanny to be completed on DVD.

Sony Pictures to lay-off 450 employees: Report
2 Feb 2010, 1459 hrs IST, PTI

NEW YORK: Sony Pictures Entertainment, a division of Sony Corp, is planning to lay-off about 450 employees, or about 6.5 per cent of its current
work force, in the next few weeks, says a media report.

Attributing to a memo by Sony Pictures co-chairmen Michael Lynton and Amy Pascal, The Wall Street Journal said, the company is planning to lay-off about 450 employees in the next few weeks.

The report said that the majority of the layoffs are expected to hit the studio's home-entertainment and formation-technology departments, but nearly all divisions are expected to feel an impact to some extent, which includes motion pictures, television production and corporate.

"Most of the layoffs are expected to fall in the US and take place by the first week in March," it added.

After the current round of job cut, studio's head count would stand at about 6,300. In addition, the studio would not fill about 100 jobs that are currently open.

The company's business has been hit by digital piracy and the impact of social-media services that have sometimes
undermined studios' marketing efforts.

DVD sales in the US has seen declined 13 per cent to $8.73 billion against last year, putting a major dent in the
studios' bottom-line, the report said attributing to Adams Media Research.

This really sucks! And with today's breaking news, I'm afraid now that we may never see the remaining seasons of The Nanny & other Sony owned shows released on DVD.
This explains the sloppy production care on the recent seasons that were released and the cheap packaging!
Just another reminder that we are really living in a bad time!

I hope this is not true

Bah!

There's always a company like Shout Factory that could pick the series up for a second go.

I mean, they just got The Facts of Life from Sony. Who's to say they won't be able to license more Sony shows in the future?

Amen! I dunno why Sony can't just sell the rights to Shout, b/c I'm sure they'd do a better job anyway. And with Fran having so much success right now w/ Happily Divorced, you'd think now would be a time to try to get people to remember TN. I'm just saying....

I made a petition to get Sony Pictures Television to get the rights to the music so the rest of the seasons can get released on DVD at change.org!

I'd love to see the remaining seasons released just as much as you would but I don't think a petition is going to do any good. Sony is infamous for not completing series on DVD...227, Archie Bunker's Place, Benson, The Flying Nun, The Jeffersons, Just Shoot Me, Maude, One Day at a Time, Silver Spoons, 'Til Death, Who's the Boss?...

I think Sony is the worst company when it comes to releasing TV on DVD.

Maybe Shout! Factory or Time Life will release the remaing seasons.

So there are really no more DVDs planned?

Nope. Zero. Zilch.
And it seems like even less hope now that Sony isn't releasing ANY TV on DVD titles. They've given up on the trend.

Our ONLY hope for this show being completed is Shout! Factory or StarVista/ Time Life....send them both emails requesting this show!

I really hoped One Day at a Time was going to be the next Sony set Shout put out, but I am almost as happy now as The Nanny was my second choice. Great news!
