Here's a Random Question...

[D'Snowth]

I noticed some shows like M*A*S*H, The Andy Griffith Show, and Friends - shows that have lasted for quite a while, have all be released on DVD: they've all been released with individual season sets, but then after they, then they all got complete series sets.

Now, maybe it's just me, but does anyone else think that complete series sets should be saved for shows that hardly lasted long at all like (like a season or two) H.R. Pufnstuf, or Tabitha?

Um, yes, but complete series sets means more money for the companies!

 

[D'Snowth]

Well yeah, I realize that, but we're ignoring that element for this thread.

Aw darn...

Anyway, yes it would make more sense in every other way to make complete sets for shorter series.

Why shouldn't they?

Well actually re-reading it again I see what you're saying.

I often think when a show lasts 1 year it's usually because they were unsuccessfull. It's even rare to see reruns of such shows as well. 2 years is not too bad at least it was good enough to last more than a year. Otherwise I can't really answer your question.

Well, there are some people who would just Rather buy the entire series at one time, and there are some people who just want an episode or one season.

It's like music. There are some people who just want one song, and itunes is really good for that, and some people would prefer the entire album. Now, about a song making a whole bunch om money by itself it a different subject. (Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel, I Wanna Hold Your Hand/Hey Jude, etc...)

There are several short-lived series (plus a few longer-lived series) that I like that I think definitely belong on DVD! You can read about them below:

My favorites to see again would probably be the live-action "Spider-Man" series from the 1970s or "Misfits of Science." Both series were short enough that they could easily be released as DVD sets. I'm hoping that someday we'll get to see them again.
