Why not on DVD?


I wonder why this series hasn't come out on DVD yet. I really wish it would. If they bundled both seasons together on DVD I'd buy it in a heartbeat.Surely plenty of people besides me would like to buy it. Anyone else?

I've been looking for this series for years. It was a nice family show that
didn't portray the mother as a Stepford wife and the father as a fool. The kids
were genuinely cute without being obnoxious, and the dog was charming. If they
can put so-so shows such as "The Doris Day Show" and "Family Affair" on DVD,
why not this genuinely funny family sitcom?

I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

I had a saved search on ebay for one year hoping to find someone who had taped the shows on turner south with not one hit. Yes, yes, I'd buy this on DVD!!! Get it done, please, Hollywood! This show made me want a big family(settled for two kids), a fun marriage, a messy life, a big old house, and pets and well, I got some of it. This show is the reason why I still like the name Trevor to this day. (though I never did use it for a child)

I would like to see it on DVD also, I have the Doris Day show, The Ghost and Mrs Muir, and Lost in Space, this is another gem - the Doris Day show irritated me with its constant cast changes, especially after being silly enough to write the kids out of the series, as if they never existed -

This series sparked my imagination, think of growing up living in a castle - in the middle of a regular neighborhood -

This show was great, I remember it well from my days as a wee tot. They're insane not to release it on DVD. Just as they were insane to cancel it after only two seasons...

reply

Yes. PLEASE release the two seasons on DVD. Are you listening?

Did it ever occur to you that there was a reason why MBC axed the series after that time?

The ratings probably slipped after the 2nd year.

I wish they would put Please don't eat the daises on dvd. I would buy it. I loved that show.

I would also buy this series if I could.

About 30-some years ago a local station reran it and I got to see some episodes--this was before my first VCR. It seemed as funny then as when I first saw it as a kid. That's the last time I saw any of it.

To me, this show was not one of the all time greats, but considerably funnier than many shows that lasted longer that get talked about, and have DVDs of both from that era and later.

Some kind soul has been uploading episodes on youtube. With the exception of three episodes, the full first season is there... and there are more episodes than in a standard tv season, too!

Now I just wish I could download them to a file I could play on my tv!

How sad, that you were not born in my time, nor I, in yours.

Season 1 and Season 2 are currently available to stream on Warner Archive Instant! :)
