Benson in syndication or DVD?

Is Benson showing locally anywhere? If anybody knows, info would be greatly appreciated. Also, I have signed the petition to draw the show to DVD.

Hi mathman,

Benson is not showing anywhere to my knowledge, which is very unfortunate for us fans of the show. I have a petition on www.sitcomsonline.com that you can add your name to as well. Eventually I am hoping to send the thread to Columbia Tri-Star so that we can get Benson on DVD!!

Hi LisaB21871!

I too was a fan of Benson. I know others who were as well. I would like to add some names to your petition, but when I go to www.sitcomsonline.com I don't find it. Where is the link to this petition?

this coming from a guy who recorded the theme music last summer when nick at nite played one ep as part of a random collection of shows they played for their anniversary and then played the theme song over the phone repeatedly for a friend of mine (who come to think of it I never did speak to again afterwards, i wonder if he wasn;t quite the benson fan...)

Hi mathman5000!

I want to sign the petition too. I went to www.sitcomsonline.com, but I can't find the petition. I left a thread for LisaB21871 but I don't see a post from her yet. Once I get on that website, what links do I follow to get to Lisa's petition?
