When will the DVD set of the George and Gracie Show or the Gong Show be avaliable? I have the Soap set and its great!!!

The Gong Show will probably NEVER come to DVD. Too many music rights issues. Plus, there isn't really much demand right now for game shows on DVD.

I hope the first season of The Lucy Show is next. Those episodes within that one season are so good. They're wonderful. And the season is like the best season that I have ever seen of a sitcom.

I'm hoping for Townies or That's My Bush.

I agree with Lucyfan. The Lucy Show is on DVD but they aren't season-by-season box sets and most of the people on Amazon.com who bought them and wrote the reviews said that the quality on them is terrible. I'd buy a season-by-season box set of The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy, too.

That's the same case with Miami Vice and WKRP in Cincinnati. It really stinks big time but back then they had no idea how far technology would come in the years that would follow.

Or more importantly, Season 2 of The Office.

Oh, and The Mr.Potato Head Show

I Love Lucy season 2 ! Especially since the first show on season 2 was 'Job Switching' !

All from Columbia:
January 13th: The New Adventures Of Spider-Man: Season One
January 20th: Barney Miller: The Complete First Season, Dilbert: The Complete Series
January 27th: The Critic: The Entire series

Fingers are crossed for Good Times Season 2, since season one came out this past February, hopefully at least we'll get season 2 next Feb.

It's probably already been said here on this site (I've been away for a while), but http://www.tvshowsondvd.com is an EXCELLENT resource for information on every single TV show that is coming to DVD any time soon. I check it on a daily basis!

I check it daily as well. I'm registered there and I think I have around 50 series selected that I said I'd buy if they were released on dvd. They gave me some encouraging news on a old favorite, Degrassi Jr. High. Now I'm patiently waiting for all my other favorites to be released.

ClassicTV4Ever · 10-26-2003, 12:11 PM

I'm registered at TVShowsOnDVD.com as well

I have almost 300 series selected. I also like the fact that they e-mail you news and release info of the shows you've selected. It really is a great site to stay up-to-date on the latest DVD releases.

Wow, 300. I actually didn't select everything I'm interested in because I didn't want to overdo it, but I may select more. Every couple of weeks I check the vote status of my selections to see if they moved up in the rankings or if more other people have voted for my choices since my last visit.
