I loved watching this show when it was on in primetime. I would like to purchase the entire series if it ever becomes available on DVD. I have the "Best of" DVD's, but I definately want the whole series! Does anyone know when (if ever) the entire series will be available on DVD? Thanks!
Rob
I don't know when/if it will be released but I'm with you Rob. I'm crossing my fingers that we'll see entire seasons on dvd soon.
shareHell yeah, couldn't agree more with you. It seems like every other series is getting the boxset treatment, so what's the deal with molding back the DVDs? I reckon it's down to Rhino, who has the rights. I guess they just don't think it's worth while, which is a damn shame.

I would like to see it on a DVD of every season and a seperate on with the pilot.
shareI sent an email to Rhino requesting full season sets. They said it's going in the suggestion box. I'd encourage everybody who wants to see this show's entire seasons released to do the same.
sharehow can we help? and where can we write to rhino so that we can get at least the first 3 1/2 seasons of laugh-in released?

I did and I did get a reply back. Please write them and ask for them to release full season sets of this classic show.
George Schlatter might not want the show on DVD because the last season was not produced by him and he hated the show and never let the shows seen since.
It isn't very pretty what a town without pity can do!
As of today, three years later, I don't know. I would like to relive those days too now that I'm an adult. Maybe now I can understand the jokes, even if they are dated.
Peace.
I don't know about the jokes being dated. My kids who were in their teens the last time I saw some episodes was when they were still at home and they are all in their 20's now. They howled with laughter and were rolling on the floor because it was so silly and captivating. When it does come out on DVD I will have to hide it from them and tell them to go buy their own.That was in the late '90's.
shareI was looking at DVD Talk reviews about the best of Laugh-In. The review felt that there was sameness to the show and there would be no point in release the shows on DVD.

Yeah, I know I'm responding to a six year old comment.
It's mostly out of frustration.
I accidently caught "Laugh-In" on the "Decades" channel recently, and regardless of the uneven and repetitious quality of the material, for me it's a worthwhile and funny nostalgic trip.
I'm not arguing with you, or the reviewer. But I can't believe that the show hasn't been released in its entirety-- or at least the first five seasons-- because it's too dated or inferior to sell.
There is just too much absolute crap on DVD to argue that "quality" is even a consideration in producing DVDs.
For instance, I was pleasantly surprised when "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" was released as a box set a couple of years ago. I never thought it would happen!
I thought, nah, no DVD company will take a chance on a cult classic with a million episodes! Actually, there are 325 episodes-- I just looked it up.
Someone who controls the rights must be refusing to release the series. It's a shame, because despite the mediocre video quality I'd prefer to see the episodes uncut, and without commercial interruption.
I'm hoping that'll be the case as well. Seasons 1 -3 are first rate!
shareI've heard that the reason dvd companies aren't so quick to release TV shows is because they can't get the rights to the music. If you've ever seen The Andy Griffith Show or Beverly Hillbillies and heard different music, this is the reason. I'd like to see the entire series, too. Or else have these so-called collectors on the internet sell them to you.
sharehmmmmmm. . . Saturday Night Live is available on dvd. . . .and they had plenty of music. Wonder what's up with Laugh-In???
