I don't understand it, this was such a great show and deserves better treatment! Anyone agree? Disagree?

Until the show gets exposure on CABLE TV, it will be very hard for new generations to discover the show.

I agree, which doesn't make much sense either! Why isn't ODAAT aired anywhere???

Well the closest it came to be national was a few ago when it was on Comcast on Demand and then YANKED

Yeah, I remember that, it doesn't make sense to me. This show was very good and stars Valerie Bertinelli who is on a hit show on Cable right now.

Sales, plain and simple. I remember One Day only peaked at #90 on Amazon in its release week, and it must have sold very poorly in stores.

I agree that there would be renewed interest in it now that Valerie's starring in HIC and has a higher profile, as well as the publicity M. Phillips gained from her controversial book.

I really wish somehow we'd see a S2 release, IMO that was the series peak with the fabulous Mary Louise Wilson as Ginny. Maybe once Shout Factory finishes with All in the Family this May they will start putting out the remaining Norman Lear shows on DVD.

Still hard to believe a show that was on the air for 9 years is rarely seen in syndication.

I've only seen the first season. It would be nice to see the other seasons. I wonder if they will ever release the other seasons.
