That would be nice. Some of the episodes are on youtube but they could be pulled off at any time.

I'd rather it show up on a retro cable network so I could record my own set.

I, sometimes, wonder if we're EVER gonna see this show again. Ann Jillian is still around and could supply commentary for a dvd set and I know that Gail Edwards has expressed interest in getting involved if a dvd was produced.

I think the main concern about this show has something to do with the music rights and/or rights from the owners of the show. I had read that TV Land once added it to its line-up and it was quickly pulled after only a handful of episodes aired. Licensing battle issues? Who knows.

One thing is certain, they are killing a good show by letting it rot in the vaults. Marian Mercer has already passed away. People don't live forever, Now is the time. Seize the day or lose the chance.

Yes it was odd that TVLand dropped the show after only running back-to-back daily episodes for one week in early 2001. From my understanding, their deal with WB was for "cherry-picking" only and they weren't entitled to entire runs of WB shows and that was the reason it was pulled. I am just going by what I heard at the time on some old message boards.

Whenever I have contacted Warner Archive about the show's future on DVD, I always get the standard "this program has clearance issues" response. I am grateful for my homemade set but would love an official release with clear video and uncut episodes.

...so music rights are likely an issue. Anyone recall if the show had the pianist character playing an popular songs?

Kasey · 08-07-2015, 12:46 PM

Yes, Sonny (Paul Kreppel) performed bits of popular songs in every episode.
