Woohoo!! It also helped that you had Paul Petersen and Mary Owen (Donna Reed's daughter) lobbying strong as well. Great job!!!!

MickeyMac · 12-18-2010, 02:41 PM

This is great news, now lets hope the rest of the seasons show up on DVD.

Marvo301 · 12-18-2010, 04:34 PM

I tip my hat to everyone who worked so hard on this campaign and shares in this victory!

And like Mickey I hope that in due time seasons 6-8 will make their way to DVD as well!

Jude The Obscure · 12-18-2010, 06:21 PM

We are hoping that strong sales will encourage MPI to seek out to license seasons 6-8 from Sony.

This is great news. I hope there are lots of extras.

Jude The Obscure · 12-19-2010, 12:18 AM

Mary will clue me in if there will be any extras, but first priority is remastering the 4th season episodes, which for the most part have not been seen since their ABC Daytime reruns.

I know that you worked hard on this, Jude, so congratulations are in order.

Jude The Obscure · 12-20-2010, 11:44 PM

Thank you! I appreciate hearing it.

This is great news and I'm sure they are taking time to remaster the episodes beautifully. I wonder if they will be released in 2011. Remember with "The Mothers-In-Law", we heard they were planning to release it in early 2009 but the release didn't actually come until mid-2010. Remastering is a time-consuming process. Either way, I'm excited to hear this is a work-in-progress. Will definitely pick up both seasons.

Jude The Obscure · 12-26-2010, 10:28 PM

I will keep everyone updated as Mary keeps me updated. they are trying to shoot for a Mother's Day 2011 release time, but no guarantees. Better to take their time and do it right than for a rush job with crappy looking episodes.
