The first season is the only one I knew and loved (with the Pembrokes) and the family loved this back in the day so it was a must buy.

By the way I love this thread! I'm all about my retro tv dvds!

And if I may just promote ther 2nd season of Hardy Boys Nancy Drew Mysteries. I know it sounds lame but it really is a great slice of late 70s television. Plus the new artwork is just retro heaven!

Bosom Buddies - The First Season, is now on DVD and as I expected, the syndicated theme "Shake Me Loose" appears inplace of "My Life"

During the show's original 1980-1982 run, "My Life" by Billy Joel was used, but when the show went into syndication (reruns), they switched it to "Shake Me Loose", which was a lyrical version of the closing theme as sung by Stephanie Mills.  I have always prefered it because it was original to the show

All 19 episodes of Season 1 on a 3-Disc set in a standard DVD size case.  I can hardly wait to watch it!

He was great in "The Fugitive".  I always liked him as Uncle Ned, which is still one of the best TV roles he ever had, although his appearance in that Happy Days episode where he kicked Fonzie's was also good.  lol

Bosom Buddies - The First Season, is now on DVD and as I expected, the syndicated theme "Shake Me Loose" appears inplace of "My Life"

During the show's original 1980-1982 run, "My Life" by Billy Joel was used, but when the show went into syndication (reruns), they switched it to "Shake Me Loose", which was a lyrical version of the closing theme as sung by Stephanie Mills.  I have always prefered it because it was original to the show

All 19 episodes of Season 1 on a 3-Disc set in a standard DVD size case.  I can hardly wait to watch it!

One thing I am curious about is why some TV DVD sets are like super expensive

There was a Canadian action show I liked called "Nikita" (known as "La Femme Nikita" internationally), and everywhere I see the DVD sets, each one is atleast 74 bucks and I can't figure out why it's so expensive.  Some stores even had them at between $90 - $118 each.  I'm not crazy enough to pay those prices

S.W.A.T. only ran for 2 seasons, so it doesn't make sense why Season 2 isn't being released ???

I know viewer demand for it is big.  The 2003 movie with Colin Farrell was a major success, which introduecd the show to a new generation, which in turn helped Season 1 sell like hotcakes

I now have Baywatch Seasons 1 2 and 3 on DVD, but the way they package them is so stupid ...

Baywatch originally aired in Network run on NBC in 1989, but went into Syndication in 1991 for it's second season and on.  The DVD sets begin with the Syndicated run, so Season 1 is actually Season 2. 

Each set contains a bonus disc with original network episodes, and once all 10 Seasons have been released, you are supposed to be able to send away for a box to hold all 23 original Network episodes of what is originally Season 1

  Entire TV series by TimeLife..?  Sounds better than our Columbia House...

  In other news:  Okay, Gunsmoke Season 1 is slated for release sometime this year.  Supposedly in July, but that may have changed...

  Jeez, who's gonna try to tackle a Gunsmoke DVD release..?  There's something like 600-and-change episodes of this TV series..!

  Personally, I LOVE Gunsmoke.  I can definately understand why it lasted so long.  That had to be one of the best scripted, best acted, best directed, best written TV dramas I've ever seen with the most clever dialogue, the most interesting characters and the most compelling stories.  I mean, each individual episode is big screen quality...

  There will never be another Gunsmoke...

I got WKRP also.  Even though most of the original music isn't there, it's hardly noticible, but then again, I don't really remember what was originally used either.  The only thing that I don't like is the replacement of Jennifer's doorbell.  I haven't come up to episodes that feature it yet, but I am scared to hear what it sounds like.  To me, it should always be "Fly Me to the Moon".

I've been to all kinds of messageboards, and the feed back is worse than the whole "Bosom Buddies - My Life" fiasco.  I hope it sells well, cause I so want the rest of the seasons now.  I am actually surprised that they left in the "I love you so badly" song briefly heard in the intro as the guy switches stations

If you notice in episode 2, just before that crazy old lady comes into the booth, the record that Johnny is playing .. you can hear the music, but the needle on the record is in the centre where the record label is.  I never knew paper could play music lol

There is (so far) a sign of actual music .. in the episode where Baily produces the talk show, in one scene, you can hear Venus playing "Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste of Honey

That was Hugh yes, and also in that same episode, the guy who plays Bucky is Bill Dial, the show's exec. producer.  They probably thought it was cheaper to get some of the production crew in guest spots, rather than hire extras lol

That gal that plays Linda Taylor in Eposide 8, is Barrie Youngfellow, who went on to fame on "It's A Living", but I know her best as that woman from Three's Company whom Jack dated.  She was living with two guys, and tried to hide it by cracking walnuts with the man's shoe ;D

Here's another little tidbit of WKRP .. In the episode "Hoodlum Rock", the band that plays Scum of the Earth is the actual real UK punk band Detective, to which Michael Des Barres was a member.  In the scene in Andy's office, if you look in the background, you can see a Detective poster.  Des Barres (who is best known as 'Murdoc' on MacGyver) would later become a co-star of "The New WKRP in Cincinnati" in the 1991-1992 season

I know this is going off topic a bit but I remember one episode when Jennifer just broke up with her boyfriend and they are all sitting in a bar. Andy goes up to Jennifer and says, "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?". I can't remember if Mr. Carlson, Johnny or Venus came up with the next line. Then Jennifer turns to Les and says, "So Les, what is your pick-up line". He says, "Hi, I'm filthy rich."  ;D ;D ;D

Technically Season 1 had 6 episodes. The TV movie is counted seperately.  I hope after they release all the Sharon Gless episodes they will come back with a non Sharon Gless set and put the Loretta Swit movie and  6 Meg Foster eps on a DVD titled The Other Cagneys or something.

Technically Season 1 had 6 episodes. The TV movie is counted seperately.  I hope after they release all the Sharon Gless episodes they will come back with a non Sharon Gless set and put the Loretta Swit movie and  6 Meg Foster eps on a DVD titled The Other Cagneys or something.

I just want lots of extras!


According to tvshowsondvd.com the set is actually season 2, so it seems like MGM is basically writing off that 6 episode first season that featured Meg Foster.  I am all confused now

lol. no, but i remember thinking that about seymour and the sea monsters and electrawoman and dynagirl. i was like, okay, i got the nostalgia bug big time but this DARES you to watch it. and with dynagirl running around in tights that show was pretty much starting out on third base.

ark ii, on the other hand, is totally hard rock. but in my saturday morning t.v. days, it was mostly about bugs.

^ S1 of Simon and Simon was great!  It features the original theme song with the frame by frame screens as opposed to the guitar based theme used from S2 and on (though it does make an appearance towards the last few eps).  Their office is in a small building in an outside courtyard, apart from the office building where it remained from S2 and on

On the S1 set, you also get a bonus episode from S2, as well as a featurette called "The Great 80s TV Flashback".  The S2 episode really is a bonus as it's not mentioned as being included on the DVD artwork

It's always better to get the seasons one by one so you get actual plastic cases that the discs can snap into.  Those limited edition Warner Brothers (2 episode) DVDs that come with some box sets appear in cardboard slip cases, and the two I have are already scratched up

I'm always tempted to get these as they just define the 70s and early 80s. We had "The Special Gift" on vhs for years... is that the best dvd set to buy (1979-80)? I just want one you see, so need to choose carefully. I really should get 79-80 for old time's sake, but my vote can be swayed.

Real music or not, I am jonesing for WKRP Season 2.  It's got the best episode .. the one where that sleazy photographer takes nude shots of Jennifer, and Johnny pretends to be a swanky photographer to get them back ;D

Sadly, 'The Wonder Years' isn't out yet and It's a mystery whether it will come or not.  The music was a big part of that show, so it will the production company time to aquire all the rights to the original music so it can be kept in the original episodes.  Either that, or they will pull a WKRP and just edit in generic music, which won't sit well with fans at all

Just bought new copies of Season 2 and 7 of Roseanne for $19.99 each.  ORiginally I never planned on getting these, but at those prices I will.  If it's a classic TV show that I watched as a kid, and it's reasonable prices, then I will definately get it!  I even get ones I knew about but never watched.  Found Season 1 of 'Knots Landing' for $29.99, so I snapped that one up


That Family Feud set might be a good stop-gap until Eight is Enough gets released (if ever).


It is well worth the money.  The Eight is Enough cast compete on like 6 different episodes on the discs.  This set could really get the fire going for these DVD companies to release Eight is Enough, Angie, The Ropers and all those other shows not on DVD yet
