Anything that pertains to the word sitcom!

purple_eyes · 01-27-2001, 12:15 AM

If you email your suggestions at www.columbiahouse.com they are forwarded to the corporate office for review. If enough requests are submitted (pending contract negotiations) then the series will be added. Examples, Diff'rent Strokes, Facts of Life, I Love Lucy (DVD), and others.

TJ · 01-27-2001, 08:23 AM

purple_eyes, could you please post your 'I Love Lucy to DVD' message on the I Love Lucy board again - I think about 10 new topics were lost and that was one of them. I received notifcation of your message but didn't get a chance to read it, thanks!

also do you know of CH's plans beyond DS and FOL? what else is cooking?

cp · 01-27-2001, 06:22 PM

Sorry all, didn't get any notice of these posts.

FOL -- update
We recently received the contracts for The Cosby Show and Roseanne and because of these contracts we've decided to push the release of Facts of Life back to April. But I do have more info about the FOL tapes. They are being released like Diff'rent Strokes, tapes with episodes about the same character and such. But...we do have plans for the entire series.

We also began carrying Batman Beyond, I Love Lucy on DVD, and have plans for Babylon 5 DVD and Star Trek: The Next Generation on DVD.

purple_eyes · 02-08-2001, 11:56 PM

The number of requests it takes for us to get a series varies. If a show was really popular, like Roseanne, we don't need any requests at all to acquire the series. The Facts of Life was slightly different. In one year we received over 10,000 requests, mainly from a nationwide petition.

TJ - I'll repost the I Love Lucy info on that board.
