A few years back I purchased this series from a seller who made the set with recordings from Comedy Gold. All of the episodes run between 24 and 25 minutes long. This is a huge upgrade from that 17 disc set floating around from Nick at Nite recordings. This set was made from digital recordings so the quality is perfect.

Does anyone know where I can purchase something like this set, it doesn't seem like
Who's The Boss? will ever get an official series release, I just don't know why? I mean there are other shows out there that are so less popular and they get release but a show like WTB was so popular doesn't. Does not make sense, but I am hopeful I can get a copy from someone.

I wonder why only the first season has officially been released on DVD. According to Wikipedia, the remaining seasons haven't been released due to copyright issues. Others have said that Sony did pretty much no promotion of it, thus the low sales for Season 1.

Honestly I could never figure out why the show didn't get more seasons released. This show was a HUGE HIT, everyone at school watched it and every adult/parent I knew watched it too. I wonder what the copyright issues are? Is it like WKRP where they couldn't clear the music rights, or something else?

Funny I remember an episode where Sam goes to a party in highschool (tv rip) and the music is a dead ringer for a sound-a-like version of Express Yourself by Madonna. I wondered if it was replaced in syndication and they had the real song (ep is from ~1990).

This reminds me of when Vicki Lawrence asked when was Mama's Family going to come to DVD, and she said, "And they started naming off all these shows that'll never make it with these copyright issues" (paraphrasing). Maybe WTB was one of those shows they told her?

It really is a shame though---and odd. It's not like the Bower-Miccellis has musical family night where they performed copyrighted hits in the living room all the time, lol. I guess it must be about the studio rights or something.
