Very Charming But I Think Foul Play Should Be on DVD Too!
Seems Like Old Times is a cute movie, it's quite funny and stars Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn from Foul Play. It is a modern screwball comedy about a man played by Chevy Chase who gets mixed up in a robbery and tries to get his ex wife played by Goldie Hawn who is a lawyer to help him and he winds up hiding in her and her stuffy new husband's (Charles Grodin) house. Besides Chase, Hawn and Groden, I also liked Yvonne Wilder, the actress who played the housekeeper, she was great! I'm happy this is available on DVD and I will be buying it but I wonder why this is available on DVD and Foul Play isn't. Foul Play was their first movie together and was an even bigger hit in the box office, but anyway I highly recommend the very charming Seems Like Old Times and hope that the even more charming Foul Play becomes available on DVD Too!

If these are old times, more of them please!
Seems Like Old Time is still one of my all time favorite films. This film is almost too funny for its own good. A terrific throwback to the sophisticated comedies of the 30's and 40's updated for the 80's. It's too bad that they just don't make these kinds of comedies anymore. Goldie is in top form, Charles Grodin is so dry and wonderful and Chevy Chase should've never moved beyond this type of film. He and Hawn made magic before in Foul Play and it was great to see them together again. Buy it! Oh and keep any eye out for Aurora, the Parks' housekeeper and her infamous Chicken Pepperoni, no one can get enough of it.

Classic!
C'mon you gotta love 'em! Chevy and Goldie in their heyday. (The only thing that has always bothered me about this movie is the obviously fake cow at the end!) Neil Simon rocks!

A classic Hawn-Chase comedy flick...
Goldie Hawn & Chevy Chase who previously were together in "Foul Play" reunite again in this classic Neil Simon movie "Seems Like Old Times". Chase gets mixed up in a robbery gone wrong and hes no longer wanted by his allegged accompliances and is dumped along side a highway while the car is in motion. Anyway Chase hides out and seeks the help of who else, his ex played by Goldie Hawn. But wait! Hawn is happily married to Charles Grodin who happens to pratice law cause Chase is wanted by the law. A lot of complications arise and Chase who is innocent needs Hawn's help very bad to clear his name.

You're gonna get "mono"...
Wow, what is up with the sound not being remastered? Thats a given these days. The soundtrack sounds as though it was recorded in a bathroom... of a bunker... one mile below sea level... with my old radioshaq tapedeck. Ok, maybe it ain't that bad, but it does have a very "small" sound. Aside from that, the picture transfer is quite good. As for the movie itself, my memory of it was kinder. The movie is in high-gear as long as Chevy is on screen, take him out and what you are left with are a lot of wisecracks that could have used laughtracks, then someone would at least be laughing. Let me conclude this by saying, the soundtrack itself stands up well for a 1980 movie but the technology of the time hinders it greatly. ... Read more

About Time
I'm a fan of the show but the second season all the way to the last was better. The whole Dwayne & Whitley saga kind of bought the show out and made it even better.

ABOUT TIME
I only give this season 3 stars only because this wasn't my fav season. I loved A Different World from season 2 till the very last episode. But I will be getting this DVD just because this is one of my all time fav television show. ... Read more

Nathan Lane practically explodes with bile as Sheridan Whiteside, a tyrannical radio celebrity who has been trapped in a Midwestern household by an injured hip. Whiteside rails entertainingly at the quavering family he's stuck with, but the play really kicks into motion when Whiteside's secretary, the only person who can stand to work with him, falls in love with a local newspaperman, forcing Whiteside to hatch a scheme to keep her by his side. Expertly crafted by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, The Man Who Came to Dinner zooms along. Lane (The Birdcage, Mouse Hunt) plays the part with his personality cranked up to 11--he rattles off each sneering barb with acid bombast. The production was originally broadcast live from Broadway, which gives it a genuine crackle of energy. Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson act as hosts, providing some historical background to this classic comedy. --Bret Fetzer ... Read more

nathan lane?
what am i the only human on earth who finds nathan lane about as interesting or talented as an old piece of grizzle?
guess so.

Sardonic Hummer At It¿s Best
I was one of the very few lucky people, who was able to first see this, when it aired on TV in 2000. You have no idea how thrilled I was when I saw it on DVD at a BORDERS a while a go.
Nathan Lane is the cynical tyrant radio host Sheridan Whiteside. Who has some of the most crudest and hysterical one liners I have ever herd in the world.
It's very obvious in the begging that he care for no one but him self. He badgers his hostesses family ' the Stanilys'. To the point were he doesn't allow them in their own kitchen and living room. Let a lone their own library.
Even his well beloved secretary Magi Cutler gets her own problems with him. When she falls in love, with a relatively young, and handsome news paper reporter named Bert Jefferson.
The main cast is also sounded with a wonderfully colorful supporting cast as well. Whiteside and Magi's well meaning friend actor and singer Beverly Carrolton comes for a short Christmas visit.
Though he is some what conceded. Beverly is charming with his own wit, with a relatively small scene for him self.
The true entertainment though is that of Whiteside's friend is Banjo. A rather comical maniac who also comes to see his friend. While he is "in a lot of pain". Whitesied foolishly invites Lorraine Sheldon a highly regard actress in the story. Who Whitesied tries to use with manipulation, so that he can keep Magi to himself.
However, like with a lot of things his plain backfires.
Truly a marvelous cast even though some what small. It is humor and straight through all around fun.

Come to Dinner!
This is my favorite play of all time and it's all because of this production/video. Nathan Lane is my absolute favorite actor ever and he is perfection in this show. The material is quick and comical but there are also great moments of heart. Every cast member embodies their part and one can tell that they are enjoying themselves in the act. Harriet Harris plays secretary, matching wits and glares with Lane's 'Sherry'. Jean Smart plays a Broadway actress who gives her best (and most frequent) performances in the bedroom; Byron Jennings is the arrogantly lovable Beverly Carlton; and Lewis Stadlen is Banjo- a wacky Hollywood director who at times during his performance channels Jimmy Durante-the movie counterpart. The narrations done by Natasha Richardson and Liam Niasson are ok to sit through once but during repeat watchings they can be skipped over. I have watched this many times over and I'm still laughing. Kauffman and Hart's words have found their true home with this ensemble!

The Man Who Came To Dinner
I am so glad that The Man Who Came To Dinner was finally released on DVD. The entire cast was great especially Jean Smart as Lorraine Sheldon.

A stage classic that holds up
Very enjoyable staging of Kaufman and Hart play. Nathan Lane and Jean Smart, as you would expect, squeeze every possible laugh from their lines. They're wonderful.

One caveat: The play is filled with quick references to personalities of the period (the 1930s), and most of that might go right over some people's heads. But much of the comedy is timeless, so everyone is bound to enjoy it in the end.

There is more to this DVD than a previous reviewer would have you believe, but only a bit more. In the intermissions, there are some descriptions of the characters and whom they are based on. And there is an enjoyable segment with Kaufman's daughter and Hart's wife (the eternally graceful and charming Kitty Carlisle). The banter between Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson in these segments is weak, however. Essentially you're getting exactly the same thing you would have seen when this was broadcast.

We're fortunate to have had this performance captured on film, and I hope there will be more of the same. ... Read more

Mary Tyler Moore is Fabulous!This DVD Release is a Waste!
I don't own, nor do I plan to purchase this product because I ALREADY own the Complete 1st Season on DVD!What overpaid executive came up with this stupid release?I agree with the other writers, how about a Season 2 preview tape?What good is a preview after the full season has been released?Just a ridiculous marketing plan.

This would be the same as going to the theater and seeing previews of films that were released almost 2 years prior!

Why is Fox so ignorant?
Fox is releasing all these so-called "best of" disks of their shows, only AFTER releasing the first seasons.This is absured and insulting to the fans that have bought the complete seasons and to fans of the shows in general.<>

Four Top Notch Episodes
In a recent effort to get casual fans interested in their TV products on DVD, Fox has released four episode starter sets of several of their shows.Reasonably priced, they tempt the viewer to buy the first season and even provide a coupon for the purchase price of the sampler off the price of the complete first season if offered.The casual fan has little to loose.

And this set offers four of the funniest episodes from the first season of The Mary Tyler Moore Show."Love is All Around" is one of my favorite TV pilots ever, expertly introducing us to the characters we'd grow to love as the series progressed.

"Support Your Local Mother" brings Rhoda's Mom for a visit.With Mary as her host, Mary begins to see why Rhoda has a hard time dealing with her mother.

"Toulouse-Lautrec Is One of My Favorite Artists" finds Mary confronting the realization that she's a height bigot when a charming but shorter man asks her out.

"The Snow Must Go On" places Mary in charge of election night coverage.Vowing they won't go off the air until they get final results, Mary must keep Ted going when they are cut off from any source of news.

Of course, the problem with this disc is that any fan of the show has had two and a half years to get the complete first season by now.But if you are a casual fan, this disc will give you four top notch episodes from the first season of this classic sit-com.

Good but buy the complete season 1 instead
I am rating this 5 stars just because the MTM show deserves 5 stars.Notice that the sales rank of this start up disk is much lower than the complete box set.Good.I want Fox to release seasons 2+ in their entirety.And hopefully this will help.Just a note to the Fox team who is putting out the MTM dvds..... Include the entire cast on the box.The pictures they use nowis making it look like the 'Independent Seventies Woman striking it out on her own' type show which was new at the time but today it's dated.If they include Ted, Lou, Murray, etc. it will appeal to a much wider audience who know and love these characters.

For "Starters", Check Out These Four Terrific MTM Episodes!
On March 22, 2005, Fox Home Entertainment released this "TV Starter Set" DVD consisting of four of the best episodes from Season #1 of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". This one-disc "Starter" Pack is nice for those people who are not at all familiar with the MTM Show (and would just like to see a "sample" from the series), or for those who are already fans of Mary's show, but don't want to dig too deep into their pocketbooks and purchase the full-season, 24-episode DVD boxed set of the first MTM season, which is a compilation which also earns a perfect "Five-Star" rating from this writer.

Unlike the deluxe 4-Disc "Complete First Season" DVD set of "TMTMS", there aren't any special bonus features on this "Starter" disc -- just the four episodes (listed below). But it's still a very good deal, IMO, at the bargain price offered.

The video quality for these four stellar MTM episodes is simply SUPERB! I doubt these shows could look any better. The colors are perfect and vibrant and there's no annoying video "noise" or artifacts (that I can detect at any rate).

Each episode here gets its own "Chapter" sub-menu on the disc, with 10 chapter stops per show! Video is presented in the original TV ratio of 1.33:1; the audio sounds just fine via the disc's English Dolby Digital soundtrack (of the 2.0 Mono variety). There are even two foreign-language tracks included (in Spanish 2.0 Mono and French 2.0 Mono); plus Subtitles in English and Spanish. Unfortunately, there is not a "Play All" feature included.

There's also a very short "Mary Tyler Moore TV Spot" included on this disc. This is not an original 1970 CBS-TV promo for TMTMS, however. It's a brief 15-second ad pitching the 4-Disc "Complete First Season" set of The MTM Show.

A 12-page insert (DVD advertising booklet) also comes with this Starter Set, featuring many ads for other FOX TV-On-DVD products.

And -- You also get a valuable mail-in certificate good for $10.00 off the price of one of FOX's full-season DVD boxed sets. According to this coupon offer, you don't necessarily have to use the discount for the Mary Tyler Moore first-season collection. You can apply the $10 discount to any one of 12 different complete-season sets put out by Fox Home Entertainment -- "TMTMS" Season 1, "24" Seasons 1 thru 3, "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer" Seasons 1 thru 7, or "The Pretender" Season 1. The coupon offer expires December 31, 2005.


Here's a glance at the four episodes that make up this "MTM Starter Set" (with original CBS-TV Air Dates in parenthesis)............

1.) "Love Is All Around" (09/19/1970)
2.) "Support Your Local Mother" (10/24/1970)
3.) "Toulouse-Lautrec Is One Of My Favorite Artists" (10/31/1970)
4.) "The Snow Must Go On" (11/7/1970)

"Love Is All Around" is the debut episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", and does a great job of introducing the viewing audience to "Mary Richards", "Rhoda Morgenstern", "Phyllis Lyndstrom", "Lou Grant", "Murray Slaughter", and "Ted Baxter".

Everybody in this series was first-rate all the way, with the show picking up more steam as the first season progressed; and it got even better in Season #2.

"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" was one of the most popular and successful TV comedy series ever aired on network television, accumulating an amazing 67 Emmy nominations during its seven-year period on the airwaves (1970 to 1977). The series won 29 total Emmy Awards, including four during its rookie season.

This MTM "Starter" disc is a fine supplementary addition to the DVD collection of anyone who loves flat-out good TV shows.

Nice first effort.
"That Girl" was a groundbreaking TV program. The source of this program's appeal is of course Marlo Thomas, in the role that defined her acting career. Thomas as the perky Ann Marie, and Ted Bessell as the handsome, logical Donald Hollinger made perhaps the perfect sixties TV couple, rivaled in popularity perhaps only by Don Adams and Barbara Feldon of "Get Smart". Show-stealer Lew Parker is also outstanding as Ann's crusty dad, a restaurant owner with a machine gun style of delivering dialog, who thinks that every guy who dates his daughter is just a "bum". These episodes are, to use an overused term, "classic TV", and should not be missed by any true aficionado of 60's television. Hopefully this is the first of many releases for this wonderful program, which still seems fresh after 35 years.

This first collection of episodes is an attempt at capturing an overview of the series. While this effort is for the most part successful, it could have been arranged better. Anchor Bay should be applauded for including nine episodes of "That Girl" on this first release. Total runtime is a whopping 225 minutes. Compare that to Star Trek's standard two episodes per DVD. Instead of being arranged in chronological order, the episodes are subdivided into three thematic groups, which may not have been the best idea.

The series first aired in 1966, and ended in 1971. During that time, the characters, particularly Ann and Donald undergo significant changes in appearance and wardrobe. There is no mistaking the Ann of 1966 with the Ann of 1971. By not following chronological order, we see the characters changing appearance significantly between some episodes, disrupting continuity. Also, two consecutive episodes feature instances of Ann's employer making a pass at her. Once again, a little more thought could have gone into how the episodes were arranged. These are minor quibbles, but as a result, the overall flow of the episodes is somewhat uneven, and doesn't feel quite right. For any future releases, I suggest that the episodes be arranged closer to chronological order.

The fact that there are no bonus materials is also a major disappointment, especially as this is the first collection of episodes to be released. The printed booklet is a good start, but this series deserves much more. A series retrospective would have been nice. An interview with Ms. Thomas, the only member of the principal cast who is still with us, would have been appropriate. Anchor Bay should be aiming to build the audience for the forthcoming releases. Overall video quality is very good, although focus does suffer at times.

Despite these criticisms, "That Girl" is not to be missed. Take a trip back to a world far removed from today. The signature hairstyle, the music, the bowling ball stuck on the toe, and Ann dancing in a chicken suit, are all waiting for you. Experience the charm of "That Girl".

Can't wait for Volume 2.

Which episodes?
Here is a listing of the episodes of "That Girl" included on this disc:

1. Don't Just Do Something, Stand There 2. Anatomy of a Blunder 3. Counter Proposal 4. Call of the Wild 5. Nobody Here But Us Chickens 6. The Snow Must Go On 7. This Little Piggy Had a Ball (Rob Reiner and Teri Garr have a cameo) 8. Pass the Potatoes, Ethel Merman (guest starring -- you guessed it -- Ethel Merman) 9. Those Friars (Milton Berle and Danny Thomas guest star)

As for my opinion on the disc itself, I think it's a nice, well-rounded grouping of some of That Girl's best moments. Watching this disc, I like the show even more now than I already did. It was interesting seeing how Donald met Ann Marie, and the very funny episode where Donald is supposed to meet Ann's parents for the first time, but a run of bad luck seems intent on ruining any good first impression he might make on them. The episode where Donald finally proposes to Ann is included on here as well. Another thing I found interesting was seeing how much fashions changed during the show's run.

What's on the 2nd tape?
Can anyone tell me the title of the 2nd tape in the "That Girl Box Set -VHS", and which episodes tape 2 includes? I don't see any mention (or picture) of the second tape.

Thanks!

LOVE 'THAT MARLO'
I never missed an episode when the show originally aired! Ann Marie was a role model to me at a time when few good ones were to be found; and Marlo Thomas represented all the same admirable qualities in real life. I quickly bought every episode available on VHS and, later, the only DVD that, to date, has been issued. When will we see more on DVD? Is Anchor Bay Entertainment listening? There are many of us waiting for more!

Complete Seaon DVD Boxsets Would Be Good!
I was only a year old when That Girl was first shown on TV but I do remember watching the show when I was a little girl probably about 4 or 5 years old and thinking the show was pretty funny and I think I was about 7 years old when they first started showing reruns and I remember liking how perky and spunky Marlo Thomas's character Ann was and I also liked Ted Bessell who played Donald and I remember having a crush on him. I like that they have episodes of the show on DVD and I would love to see every episode put on DVD and I think complete season boxsets like they did with Mash would be really nice. ... Read more

I WANNA BE RHODA!!!!!
Don't get me wrong Mary Tyler Moore was a "nice" character, but waaaaaay overrated!!!! Rhoda was so much funnier and well deserving of her own show!!!

Although I watched this show in re-runs ( it's original run was before my time), I really enjoyed Rhoda living the single life in New York during the Sensational Seventies!!! Valerie Harper JUST PLAIN ROCKED AS RHODA! She had a great relationship with her sister Brenda, was time enough for her pain in the butt mother ( played by the very funny Nancy Walker), she had a really cool apartment, and I just loved those fabulous scarfs she wore on her head. Very Chic!!!
The 1970's was such a fantastic era for some of the best sitcoms ever created and Rhoda was among them!!! The story lines were well written and the dialogue was really funny, unlike the pathetic sitcoms currently wasting valuable network airtime today!!! I don't even bother to check the tv guide anymore, I'd rather watch Nick at Night or TV Land instead!!!
Well bad tv is an entirely different and depressing subject so I'll just say my prayers and hope the powers at be are listening and RELEASE RHODA ON DVD PRONTO!!!

First Season (1974-75)
Why is this show so hard to find in reruns?I never even saw this until Nick at Nite added it to their lineup in the 1990s, but I instantly fell in love with the show and all the characters in Rhoda's life.

After 4 years as Mary Tyler Moore's best friend on the MTM show, Rhoda moved home to Manhattan so she could be near her sister Brenda (Julie Kavner, now the voice of Marge Simpson!) and pursue a relationship with Joe Gerard (David Groh).Nancy Walker played her pushy mother Ida and Harold Gould played her dad Martin.Both had appeared on the MTM show in those characters beforehand.Heard but not seen was the drunken doorman, Carlton (Lorenzo Music, who helped create this show and then later on became the voice of Garfield the cat).

Season 1's opening credits had Valerie Harper, as Rhoda, telling about her life and why she moved back to New York while we saw several pictures fly across the screen in a mostly animated montage.This opening was dropped later on, but its my favorite of all the openings used.

Here are the first season episodes for what will eventually prove to be a great DVD set:

06 - Pop Goes The Question (10-14-74)
Joe asks Rhoda to move in with him, but she would rather they get married (Mary Tyler Moore guest stars again).

07 - The Shower (10-21-74)
Brenda throws Rhoda a last-minute wedding shower and invites her old friends from high school, except one of them (Linda Lavin) turns out to have been Rhoda's fierce rival.

08 - Rhoda's Wedding (10-28-74)
Ida manages to get Rhoda and Joe to hold their wedding at her apartment in the Bronx, causing catastrophe when Phyllis forgets to pick her up and Rhoda is forced to ride the subway IN HER WEDDING DRESS!Mary Tyler Moore, Ed Asner, Gavin Macleod, Georgia Engel and Cloris Leachman from the MTM show guest star.This was a 1 hour episode but always got replayed as two separate parts.

Ida gives Rhoda and Joe a honeymoon cruise, but it turns out to be a cruise for old people.

10 - 9E Is Available (11-11-74)

CAN'T WAIT
I was excited about Mary Tyler Moore Season #2 and now I'm thrilled to see this will be available too.Look forward to preordering. Thank you.

HEY FOX ~ BRING ON THAT FIRST SEASON!!
This show rocked those first two years.Who cares what the critics have to say-- Rhoda as a married woman was not just funny as all getout but was a relief to see after those 4 years as Mare's chronicly single best bud.Rho deserved some happiness and that wedding episode delivered in spades!!
Hey you Fox studio suit guys, you need to put this out like you did the Bob Newhart & Mary discs!
IF YOU RELEASE IT, WE WILL BUY!!!

Way Too Funny for TV
WKRP in Cincinnati was one of the (if not "the") most side-splittingly funny sitcoms of the late 70's/early 80's.The ensemble cast was custom-tailored to its various roles, and the dialogue was priceless.Invariably, the well-written scripts often made you think about larger issues in life (even when you disagreed with the writers' point of view) while making you laugh your brains out.Unlike so many shows of that era, you didn't need to be (a) smoking weed or (b) snorting coke or (c) otherwise brain-dead to "get" the humor.Truly a classic, beautifully done TV.Do everyone a favor.Put it on DVD.It was an "all-timer."

As God is my witness...
"As God is my witness...I thought turkeys could fly."
That is from the most popular episode of this hilarious series called "Turkeys Away".It was thier Thanksgiving themed episode which should be aired traditionally every Thanksgiving!Sadly the station manager didn't realize his free turkey give-away from a helicopter at a shopping center would end with such "carnage".Poor Les Nesman was left to report the live feed on air.

As God is my witness, I thought this would be out on DVD by now!!

INFINITY STARS!!!!
C'MON, GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!!! JOHNNY FEVER ZONING OUT TO THE SOUND OF DOGS BARKING ON THE AIR, HERB AND HIS SLEAZY USED CAR SALESMAN SUITS, LES NESMAN'S BROADCAST OF THE TURKEY TRAGEDY, MR. CARLSON'S TOY COLLECTION, SCUM OF THE EARTH, AND PHONE COPS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

Release Senior Rod-wi-geez, please!
I recently was at the video rental shop here, which has a huge section of TV series to rent.Every time I go down this isle, I have to sigh a bit, as WKRP isn't there, among the really really lame air headed stuff they do have.Every week I check several sites online, including amazon to see if its release is pending.I rarely watch network TV, but being a huge music fan, I'll always remember this series fondly.I even have a WKRP t-shirt that I wear from time to time.I always get comments about that.Like, "oh yeah, Lonnie Anderson, I remember that!"But despite us male fans admiration, she was not the main reason we watched.Who didn't want to be like Johnny Fever or Venus Flytrap, and work in a rock n' roll radio station?Whatever, it's just that this series had so many memorable moments, that lifted it above the usual 70's drivel of cop shows and more cop shows.I've got one rule of thumb, if it's memorable, it's probably great.So get the liscensing business straightened out, 20th Century Fox, and give us back our 'KRP!!!(I'll buy it all...)

WKRP the best
I can't understand why the best sit com ever, WKRP, hasn't come out on DVD yet and some of the worst junk ever already has. This is a classic comedy and should have been on for 10 years if you go by what "Friends" or "Seinfeld" did.Please, get this great show out there so we can laugh again. ... Read more

Hope it gets a good DVD release....
Which is to say with bonus features. The show ran on CBS from 1970 to 1975, and was a rateings success for almost all the time it was on.The chemistry between Tony and Jack was great.The first season shows were also very hilarious and retained the atmosphere of the stage production by Neil Simon. Hopefully the DVD release will contain cast and crew interviews.

ODD COUPLE has NEVER jumped the shark
So what are these geniuses waiting for?

The same thing with Tony Randall's funny movie from the 1950s "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?"In it with him were Jayne Mansfield, Mickey Hargitay, Joan Blondell and Groucho Marx (in a hilarious cameo).

They'll put junk out but not the good stuff!

Best sitcom ever - NOT ON DVD YET!!!!!!!!
It is just unbelivable that the Odd TV series has not yet made it to DVD . With all the CR@P new shows out that make it to DVD 2 months after they first air I am shocked that one of the best loved TV series has not yet made it. To the producers or persons in charge of potentially releasing the Odd couple on DVD. You stand to loose a TON of $money$ by not releasing all 144 episodes ASAP. You will be Forcing FANS everywhere to purchase bootleg DVD's which are Readily available Worldwide on the internet. Help the Fans and yourselves by doing justice to the best show ever on TV and give us what we want before it's too late.

Who are the Rocket Scientists that are holding this up?
Wait a minute. I'm reading your lips. You're saying "I much fear" some lunatic holding up the release of this series!"And you're right. Every time I see that some completely unfunny show like "The Golden Girls" has been released on DVD before this series, I cringe!There must be an "enormous woman" blocking the release of this show. And just like Aristophanes, this is ridiculous.So, Let's Make a Deal, Monte -- release this show and I'll buy 10 copies, and I promise not to trade them for one more can of squid.

RELEASE THE ODD COUPLE ON DVD OR I'LL DIE!!!!
I just can't believe this absolutely wonderful series has not gotten the respect of being released on dvd!!!! I grew up watching this show and simply adored Felix Unger and Oscar Madison. For years I did'nt even know the show was based on the play and feature film of the Odd Couple and did'nt care! To me Tony Randall and Jack Klugman were the original Felix and Oscar, they were so perfectly cast.

I especially loved when they would do flashbacks when Oscar and Felix were married to Blanche and Gloria, because it allowed you to see the characters in a diferent setting before they got divorced, which made you understand why Felix drove Gloria crazy despite the love they still had for one another.

I have so many favorite episodes it's hard to choose but, I just love the ones when Oscar and Felix went on the game shows Password and Let's Make a Deal. They were simply hilarious!
I also loved the time when Felix stole the Lassie like dog that was being verbally mistreated by his owner. Needless to say Felix Unger was my hero, he always tried to do the right thing but went about it in the wrong way. I suppose that was part of his appeal and he was a true neat master.
