Gunsmoke on DVD is long overdue.........
Quite simply, I'd like to see the original Gunsmoke television series released on DVD, beginning with the 1955-56 season, and continuing at least thru the sixth (1960-61) season. This initial collection would take in all of the half-hour episodes, before the format went to one hour in the fall of 1961. These half-hour espisodes are seldon seen today, and are usually severly edited when they are seen at all on contemporary television.

The "half-hour years" truly were the foundational seasons for the series in terms of character development, etc., and they also contained some of the very best stories in the history of the series.

A complete, restored, unedited collection of these early episodes, perhaps with TV trailers, and perhaps with expert commentary, especially by James Arness, who is over eighty years of age now, would be most welcome, and would be extremely popular, I believe, with fans of classic TV westerns. If there's any justice, this series needs to find it's way to DVD. The marketplace is there, and waiting........... ... Read more

Good? Ok. Great? No.
First of all, the famous theme song is NOT played at the beginning of each episode. They play some other music that doesn't fit. Also, on one of the episodes, part of it is cut out, so the end doesn't make sense. These are all good episodes, my favorite being The Big House. However, this probably isn't the best TAGS DVD you can buy. ... Read more

RIGHT ON MAUDE!!!!!!
GOD! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I can remember when TV Land did a Maude-a-thon a few years ago, and I practically broke my neck to tape every episode. Unfortunately, the sound was'nt very good on some of the episodes, considering I was recording from an old tv at the time.
Since the technology of DVDS and the release of Norman Lear's other classic sitcoms, All in the Family, The Jefferson's, ect., I've been eagerly awaiting the release of Maude!!!!
Beatrice Arthur is one of my all-time favorite funny ladies and she was just darling as Maude!!! I loved her on the Golden Girls, but she really shined as the acid tongued Maude!!!
She had it all, controversy, quick wit,that great 70's hairstyle,those awesome pantsuits, and a husband like Walter!!!
In one episode she said the name Walter so much I lost count!!!
Anyways, I could go on and on about the greatness of Maude, and I hope to see her immortalized on DVD where she belongs!!!! It would also be nice to feature an on-camera interview with Beatrice Arthur discussing her most unforgettable character!!!
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! DVD GODS IF YOU ARE LISTENING RELEASE MAUDE PRONTO!!!

...and then there's Maude
Quite possibly the funniest TV sitcom ever, it is about time this incredible show hit the home video market. Having actually NEVER been available before (not even on Beta!), this is a must-own collection, with a superb cast headed by the one-and-only Beatrice Arthur, with marvelous support by Bill Macy, Adrienne Barbeau, Conrad Bain, Rue McClannahan, and others. Get this for a great trip back to the sensational, daring 1970s.

"Gawd'll get ya for that, Walter!"
This was one of the loudest, funniest, gutsiest comedies on the tube thirty years ago.And now that I think of it, Maude Findlay might be the only woman on a comedy series to ever get an abortion.Pretty astonishing that it happened at all, given that in 1972 the Rowe vs. Wade case hadn't even fully played out yet.Hey, whoever owns this baby nowadays [is it still Norman Lear?] needs to get it onto digital disc format ASAP.I'd love to hear Bea Arthur's commentary on the abortion episode -- a two parter if I recall!!

I hope this show comes out on DVD!!
I really enjoyed this show and hope it comes out on DVD some day.I also liked Larry Darryl and Darryl; they were quite funny.I also liked Stefanie and Michael, though as I remember I don't think either character is in the first season.There were so many good but quirky characters on this show, and great comical acting. I'm hoping whatever studio that owns the rights to this show releases it on DVD, and soon!

Please Release It!
This is undoubtedly one of the best comedy series I have ever seen. It even betters the previous Bob Newhart Show. I am certain many people who was lucky to see it will agree with me and will buy it. How can I forget the brothers Larry, Darryl and Darryl! the neighbor, the town hall meetings, etc. Please, please release it. ... Read more
