Best chance at getting the dvds officially released.

I thought I might be able to get some help from fans of the tv series here. I started a thread over on Shout Factory's official site to see if they would put the series out on dvd. Shout Factory is a company that has put out many shows, some that have only lasted one or two years(like Freaks and Geeks and Parker Lewis Can't lose).

If anyone else wants to write on the thread it might help show that there is an interest for a dvd set. They do listen to the fans. There is a thread on there for the 1950s Dennis the Menace tv show, which they have said they are likely going to look into acquiring the rights to. It seems like it was do to the fact that someone asked and a bunch of people wrote expressing similar interest. So I thought it might be worth a try for The Outsiders too.

There is also a new thing they have called Direct to Consumer, where they make smaller number of dvds and sell them exclusively through their website. It might be our best chance at getting them out.

Here's the link to my thread:

A bit late (over a year late lol) but I just signed the board,and got my mother to sign it, and will probably work on getting more people to sign it as well.

For those of you who have looked at it, then exited out of the site when you realized you had to sign up (I did the first time, then went back again), it is probably the simplest sign-up process out there.

So what are you waiting for? Get on over there and sign the thread so we can get this series released on DVD!! :)

Thanks for writing on it! :)

And there's a little good news to report, Brian Ward who works for Shout Factory, recently wrote on it and said "It's been kicked up to our acquisitions team."

So it sounds like they're at least discussing the possibility.
