Thanks for the good news.

I hope that enough people buy it, in order to get the other seasons.

Now this is the season I plan to buy because the first two episodes are featuring a guest star by the name of KIM FIELDS

Plus I never saw the unedited version of Bank Job which was one of the best eps of the series

This is great news! I always loved this show. I have seasons 1 and 2, but I always wanted more. I can't wait.

Seasons 3, 4, and 5 are the best seasons of the show. Season 1 is the worst followed by season 8-lol

Once that annoying red-head kid Sam came to live at the Drummonds, it became almost unwatchable. I couldn't stand that little twerp. I think that was season 8.

I think season 3 has more of Dudley in it. I liked him.

I think Sam came at the end of season 6.

That must be when Mr. D married Sam's mom .....can't remember her name. I hated the way Sam was written to be like Arnold's side-kick.

I will definitely be buying this and hope to see Seasons 4 & 5 soon.

Great news! Now let's hope Antenna TV, MeTV, Netflix or Hulu Plus picks up the show soon.

The cover art says 22 episodes. So what I wonder is if they just include the episodes aired during Season 3 that means the two hour episodes will be broken up into two parts. But if the hour episodes are included in their original format that means The Model and Growing Up which were held over till Season 4 will be included. Hopefully they are able to find the original copies of the hour episodes and present them that way.
