CBS/PARAMOUNT NEEDS TO TEAM UP WITH A STUDIO LIKE TIME LIFE OR SHOUT FACTARY - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hey Happy Days fan. I totally thank god for tvshowondvd.com where we all can read what’s coming out. I was reading on that website how Time Life has worked with Universal Studios to digital restore with everything intact both the original Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman.
That should tell us all something that if a company is will to team up with a dominating company like time life. Life for the studios would be so easy.
I had recently emailed Gord Lacey the founder of tvshowsondvd.com . And I was telling him, that based on the tough decision of whether or not CBS/PARAMOUNT TELEVISION will ever release any of these iconic television sitcoms. That they should at least try to team up with either Time Life or Shout Factory. If they are having that much trouble.
I certainly think and honestly believe that after while companies like Time Life and Shout Factory. Might buy the rights to these television shows. And show them on dvd’s the way in which it should be showed. Any way I had asked Mr. Lacey about the suggestion of CBS teaming up with a company like time life or shout factory. He said that CBS could have had, or was considering working with Shout Factory. Mr. Lacey said and I quote
CBS makes it difficult for third parties to license shows from them. To me it shows that CBS is not concern whether or not Happy Days, Laverne& Shirley or Mork & Mindy is on dvd. They must be that cheep or arrogant. To me they are running out of options. If I had the chance to work with Shout Factory of Time Life, I would do that in a heart beat.
My old high school teacher used to tell me this, that if you see a bridge that you cannot
get passed you build another. If CBS PARAMOUNT is that cheep, then why even bother to put any of the season out. that’s all I am going to say. Should CBS team up with one of these companies.

I would love to see CBS/Paramount work with Time/Life, Shout Factory, MPI, or some other third party company to get not only the remaining seasons of Happy Days but also the remaining seasons of Laverne and Shirley released on DVD. But I'm not holding my breath!
