PLEASE RELEASE THIS SEASON! DO NOT HOLD CLASSIC TV HOSTAGE!

That is how I feel. The Bob Newhart show Season's 5 & 6 need to be released! I can't remember much of Season 5 but I do remember very clearly the last episode of the Bob Newhart show with Mr. Carlin wearing a dress and on that episode alone the rest of the series needs to be released. Other classic's that need to be released are :
 The Mary Tyler Moore show
 Designing Women
 Alice
 Yes, Dear
 The Hippies (British)
 Lassie
 Dennis the Menace
 The Smothers Brothers
 Shindig
Just to name my fave's. That said, a DVD release that needs to be redone is Saved By the Bell so it is uncut AND in the order that the shows originally aired!
After that my complaints are the long waits for shows like:
 Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
 Dallas
 Maude
 Night Gallery
 Mystery Science Theater 3000
& Mama's Family - with an extra disc featuring the "The Family" sketches on the Carol Burnett Show.
 But, Alas, that is just my opinion.

I just recently have fallin' in love with The Young Riders. And have just finished season one which I enjoyed very much and would like to continue on to season two ,BUT I can't because it is NOT released! What is wrong with you people! Would someone please release season two! It would make a lot of people happy and it is a pure shame not to have it available for everyone who CLEARLY want to buy it!

I have to try and offset these negative reviews.
You fools do realize that by giving a negative review to these DVD-R releases all but guarantees that we won't get Season 4(final) on DVD at all!!! Thanks a pant load folks! Now I have yet another series from FOX that will go incomplete on my DVD shelf!
If you have audio/picture issues it's likely a bad burn and a replacement would be sent by Amazon no problem.
As for lack of extra features... Get over it! Just be glad the DVD was released at all!

Immediately pre-ordered Seasons 5 and 6.  We've all waited so long for these seasons to be released!  Finally, fans can have the entire series.  Thanks to all the people who worked to get these seasons released.  Amazon e-mail alert works great too.  (PS:  Watch ME-TV...Great Lineup which includes The Bob Newhart Show at 9:00PM ET)

Is this release worth purchasing? Yes. As commented on in many reviews, the main flaw, and part of the reason this isn't a five-star product, is Paramount's decision to begin breaking the DVD release of shows like "Dynasty" down into separate volumes and then proceeding to charge the price of what one entire season used to sell for. For a fan of the show, it's disappointing to have to wait months, and then having to shell out more money, for one entire season of the show.  Another flaw with this release is that even at the hefty price (especially since it seems to have been a limited-time release and hard to find) there are no extra features! All you're getting with this release is indeed 12 episodes. Now, don't worry, there is some good.

"Dynasty" season 3 is just as good as the previous seasons plot-wise. This is quality t.v. and the era of "Dynasty" before the outlandish, stereotypical 'soap' plots. If you're looking for a good drama with actors who can actually act and make you forget you're watching a prime-time soap, this show and release is for you. Season 3 continues the plots began in Season 2 with Alexis (Joan Collins) stirring up trouble for Blake (John Forsythe) by entering into the oil business ring. After dealing with Krystle's past in earlier seasons (Linda Evans) always dogging her current marriage, yet another past lover shows up - her ex-husband who brings news that rattles Krystle and Blake's now solid relationship. Steven's gone missing, another Carrington son has now shown up at Blake's doorstep, Fallon and Jeff are still on the outs and the set ends with the return of Sammy Jo and yet another new addition to the Carrington clan. With all this drama, it was nice to see the character being challenged and pushed emotionally and nothing really felt sensational or 'unbelievable' as in the later season. Each episode ends with some sort of cliffhanger to keep you coming back for more, including the final episode of the 3-disc set.

Quality wise, the transfer to DVD, as seen in the previous release, was great. The colors are vibrant, the sound is wonderful. The only thing that really holds this set back is the fact that it's incomplete and you have to dish out another twenty- or thirty-some dollars to complete it. That and the fact that there are absolutely no extra features, even with there having been a "Dynasty" cast reunion with interviews shot a few years ago that aired on ABC, Paramount still makes no effort to beef up the release, leaving the audience with just episodes, half a season, to feast on. Besides that, this was truly great television and it is nice to see it getting the DVD treatment, even if it is slow and now prolonged with split season releases. Definitely worth buying, even with it being a truncated release.

Season 4 is hitting American stores! Time for us British to storm your barricades! At least, as far as this store goes..! :
Season 4 of Hercules is released on 13th July... OK, so it's not UK Region, but if you have a DVD computer player or a multi-regional, (which I'm working towards!) it's worth having a look at..! The UK release'll take a thousand years - By then, Ancient Greece will be beyond pre-historic!!!
I can't be without every opportunity to see my darling Iolaus, personally... But there is always the lovely Mr. Sorbo to catch up with, 'cos thanks to Wolf, a month later, he's coming over to meet us all..!! (THANK YOU AGAIN, WOLF!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
Read farther, into the Extended Text, it'l be worth it..!!!
I do love Kevin, but Dylan does for me what Herc doesn't - I'm too busy looking at Michael Hurst!! That having been said, I have the same problem when GMW appears next to his leading man..! I always turn to these shows for Kevin, and end up falling for his blond side-kick... (You boys'll know what I mean with your alternative, Lisa Ryder!)... Actually, Lexa had a lot to do with my tuning into Andromeda after SG4, so it's also her fault I'm here, advertising Season 4 of HTLJ, cos she led me to see what else Kevin had been up to..!!!
Oh, and another thing, this season contains episodes such as 'Reunions', and 'Top God', which guest stars Roy Dotrice, recently seen playing Wesley's father in ANGEL... He and Anthony Quinn are my equal favourites of all the Zeuses to choose from, AND, in this episode, we see one of those COOL brother on brother fights between the 2 Kevins: Sorbo, and another man I'm utterly in love with, (!) KEVIN SMITH..!!! Starring alonsgside them both, would be Meg Foster (Hera) whom is recognisable to DS9 fans, from the Season 4 Jake Sisko episode 'Muse'....
Enough reasons to part with your cash..!?? No?? Well, Scott Michaelson, (Brad from Neighbours!) the man whom once snogged Natalie Imbruglia for a living, makes his presence known as Apollo in 2/3 episodes..!!
Season 4 has EVERYTHING that makes H:TLJ GREAT...!!! It has IOLAUS, it has ARES, it has HERCULES... It has fun, fantastic fight choreography, the continual return to the HERO mythos, and morals... It also allows for the telling of some heartfelt family stories. Beginning with Twighlight, in which we see the inception of the YOUNG HERCULES series, (option: do you prefer Ian, the first, or Ryan..??? They're lovely, but personally, I prefer Dean & Chris! Don't let the teenage label put you off - These younger boys can kick ass, and in TWIGHLIGHT, they do just that!)we are told the tale of Hercules most sorrowful separation, that from his mother, played by Liddy Holloway... Alcemene whom saw him through all else that cut deep in his life, lives on in the Elysian Fields. The acting of Kevin Sorbo, Michael Hurst, and Jeff Thomas, (esp.) when she has passed over, it is of worth in their field... TOP GOD furthers this. REUNIONS furthers it still... IOLUAS is reuntied with his flesh and blood mother, after being told by Jeff Thomas' Jason that Alcemene (Liddy, Herc's Mom/Mum!) thought of him as her son also... The only thing missing from this trilogy of stories is the on-screen appearance of a young Iphicles. I'd've liked to have seen whom they picked to be Kevin Smith (Any such pre-desposed person of that preference would at least be curious to imagine the man whom would grow to be the Iphicles we know - Would he look like Kevin Smith did in Desperate Remedies!? - Oh, please, God, I hope so!!! Beautiful!)...

I have been waiting and waiting and maybe we are finally getting close.  Could the recent price drop on Season 1 and Season 2 signal a release of a package of all three seasons?  Here's hoping!

I have to say I am happy to see another season volume of Gunsmoke being released on DVD. Yes, I agree with almost everyone: I wish that the studios would release these in complete season sets instead of vol. 1 and vol. 2 but I also think that we should be grateful to have these in complete seasons at all.

Gunsmoke is a great show that keeps you entertained for hours on end. I like to see the old shows where there is still right and wrong.

My only gripe with this set is that it is only a half of a season. If the studio has to release the series like this, why can't they release several sets at a time. At this rate, I probably won't get to see all of the seasons until I am retired! (And I'm not even out of college yet!)

Due to our economy right now, prices on everything are going up. I think the studios are trying to make everything they can off the fans of the old TV shows. It's true I don't like paying the price of 2 seasons for 1 but in the end, if you think about it, it is still a pretty reasonable price to pay for so many hours of wonderful, quality entertainment. I, for one, will buy the season volumes as long as they come out. Thanks Paramount and everyone else involved for at least making the show available to us fans.

For crying out loud, just release the dang thing in the United States, if you please!!  We've got "The Bionic Woman" FINALLY released on DVD.  Now...bring us the show that started it all!  I LOVED this series as a kid and just want to watch it again and again.  Give it to us already!  Sheesh!

I'm happy that Universal is finally continuing with Season 4 of this great series, but I wish they wouldn't make fans wait so long between seasons.  This is one of those TV classics that deserves a complete release, along with the hour-long series by Mr. Hitchcock.

In response to the reviewer who wished that Universal would release Boris Karloff's "Thriller", I posted the following comment to his review:

I've heard from some very reliable sources that a complete (2 season) series release of Karloff's "Thriller" is in the works for a release sometime in 2010, most likely middle or 3rd quarter of the year. The set is being licensed by Universal to a third party--I'm not positive now, but I think it's Image Entertainment, which has done a great job for shows like "Twilight Zone", "Dick Van Dyke Show", and "Combat!". There are great bonus features planned too, stuff like commentaries from surviving actors and isolated music scores, plus more. I love "Thriller" too, so I cannot wait for this release! In the meantime, I'll enjoy this latest release of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Season 4".

I heard this news from a TV historian who has already recorded commentary for "Thriller", so this complete series release is definitely in thw works.  This is probably tops on my personal list of most-wanted shows, so I'm really anxious waiting for this!

Season two is when the core cast was slimmed down and THIS is the Mama's Family that most people grew up watching.  Why won't it get a release already???  This is completely ridiculous!  If this isn't getting released based on poor sales of season one, that can easily be explained... Season One was weak and contained very few episodes.  I never purchase any "sitcom" dvds until I can order the first two seasons.  I won't be purchasing either one until this one gets released.

I have not seen the third season since I was really young. I would like to see it before I'm dead...OF OLD AGE. Why won't they release it yet? Is there some kinda legal issue that's kept them from doing it??? I mean come ON! I don't want to even think about what kind of run-around I'd have to go through just to buy it from Australia and then convert it into a format I could actually watch. This sucks!
Who do we have to pester to get this thing released?

I just received my copy of Get Smart Season 1. Hurrah...  Sure it's devoid of extras, but it's AFFORDABLE! The Time-Life version is outrageously priced.  Can't everyone just enjoy a, GREAT TV CLASSIC, restored to pristine condition? Is that not enough?  Well, I can and am very glad to have it at last! Why not STOP WHINING about some SUPERFLUOUS extras. My only whine is: When will Season 2 be released. I'll buy it (sans extras) and be glad. THANK YOU HBO and AMAZON!!!!!

I have been waiting so long for the second season to be released.  This is one of the best shows of all time, and I can't wait to get the second season.  Please release the third faster than it took for the second!!!

I do not need other reviews to confirm the excellence in acting this series portrays. It has been a very good experience to watch Seasons 1 and 2. What I find irritating is the many times the second season is announced for purchase, but is as yet unavailable.  What is taking so long? Has it been a year since the second season finished? Will there ever be a third season, an if so, will it ever be available? Just release season 2 so we can buy it!
