I Guess That 'One Day At A Time' Just Doesn't Hold Up For Today's Audiences??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Why else would no other DVDs be released on this once classic sitcom??? This was such a great show and no season 2 release or syndication at all? Why not?!?

You could probably say the same thing for Maude... also only one season on DVD. I've never seen ODAAT, but I wouldn't mind seeing it if I got the chance to.

1. Because season 1 had horrible sales

2 The show is not on cable or local syndication in most cities so it don't have a new generation of fans in 2011

So the fact that it can't be seen and sampled, it won't sell on DVD

If Maude can stay on cable like sanford and son and Good times that can change one day.

I'm surprised it's still holding up on MeToo reruns here in Chicago!

I keep wondering, since All in the Family was finally finished off by SHOUT!, is there hope for Archie Bunker's Place,Maude, and One Day At a Time, all of which had one season released, and The Jeffersons, which had half the series released, then abandoned.

1960'sTVfan · 08-11-2011, 06:54 PM

One Day At A Time is OK, I would probably watch the repeats now and then if they air on TV, but I have no desire to own the show on DVD.

People shouldn't care so much if a show they once loved back in the day has held up well or not. They should just enjoy it for what it is, and stop judging it by today's standards.

The OP asked the question because the show only has 1 season on DVD and not seen anywhere on cable or digital tv

I'm not sure that sales are the thing that is holding it back from releasing it on dvd.

I understand that the later seasons of Happy Days won't be released because of the music (expensive royalties), WKRP too.

There wasn't that much music on ODAAT. I think there was one episode during season 2 but that was about it.
