To Shout! Factory:
If the "All in the Family" Complete Series box set is successful, can you look at "The Jeffersons", and release the show as a Complete Series box set too? Here are my suggestions: All 253 episodes, including "Tom the Hero", "George and Louise in a Bind" (90-minute special), and "The Ones You Love" should be remastered in high definition and unedited. The frame rate errors from Season 6 should be corrected. Scene selection menus, chapter stops, and a "Play All" feature should be included for all the episodes. Interactive menus should be included. English subtitles should be included. The set should have 32 DVDs for the episodes and a 33rd DVD for special features. Audio commentaries and text commentaries should be included with the episodes. Here is my list of bonus features: Movin' On Up: The Story Of The Jeffersons (All-New Full-Length Documentary With Marla Gibbs, Berlinda Tolbert, Norman Lear, Ned Wertimer, and Archival Footage of Other Cast Members and Clips from All Seasons) The Jeffersons Move Up (From All In the Family, Remastered in HD and Unedited) The Jeffersons On All in the Family (1971-1978) Commercials With The Jeffersons (And The Cast, Including The Jeffersons' Commercials For The Gap, Old Navy and Denny's, Promos From CBS, Syndication, Nick at Nite, and TV Land, and Other Commercials with the Cast) The Real Live Jeffersons (A video of the play does exist, and it is in a private collection. Could it be included in the box set?) Archival Interviews With The Cast (Including Excerpts from Norman Lear, Isabel Sanford, Sherman Hemsley, and Marla Gibbs' Archive of American Television Interviews) The Jeffersons Cast on Rolonda (1997) Checking In (1981, 4 episodes) Special Guest Appearances: The Mike Douglas Show (October 8, 1975, With Sherman Hemsley) The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Muhammad Ali (1976, Excerpt With Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford) The Jeffersons on Family Feud (1980) The "E/R" Pilot With George Jefferson (1984) The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1995, 1996) Sprung (1997, Clip With George and Louise) Jane Austen's Mafia! (1998, Clip With George and Louise) Tyler Perry's House of Payne: Curtis Jefferson (2011, Episode With George and Florence) The Historical/Social Significance of The Jeffersons (New Documentary With Media Historians, Social Scientists, Prominent African-American Actors and Actresses, The Cast of The Jeffersons, and Fans of The Series, and contrasting "The Jeffersons" to today's black-oriented sitcoms) Isabel Sanford at the Emmy Awards (1985) This is Your Life: Isabel Sanford (1985) Intimate Portrait: Isabel Sanford (2003) Living in TV Land: Sherman Hemsley (2006) The Jeffersons at the Paley Center (March 1999, March 2002) The Jeffersons at the TV Land Awards (2003) Truth Behind the Sitcom Scandals: The Jeffersons (2008) TV Land Specials With Sherman Hemsley: Top 10 TV Spinoffs (2006) All in the Family Episodes (2006) Characters You Love to Hate (2005) Top 10 TV Dads (2004) TV Land Convention Special (2004) A Special Tribute to Sherman Hemsley Sherman Hemsley on The O'Reilly Factor (July 1998) Bill O'Reilly Remembers Sherman Hemsley (July 2012) A collector's book, with a detailed history of the series, biographies of the cast, characters, and the crew, pictures, articles about the show, and an episode guide should be included. Brian Ward and many fans of "The Jeffersons" would like the show to be picked up by Shout!. We have been waiting for five years for the next release. Also, seasons 7-11 should be released individually, similar to the Leave it to Beaver releases. |

Even thought I would love it, that would be kind of tacky for them to try and make money off his death when the series should have been complete on DVD |

Hopefully Sherman's passing will make some company release the rest of the seasons on DVD!

You would think they'd give us at least 1 more season after Sherman's death!

You better do like I did and record the entire series from season 7 to 11 from TV One so that way you can say you have the complete series but just that the seasons after season 6 are edited. That's the best set that is out there right now |
