RE: It's a Living / Making a Living and Empty Nest
Mine too! LOVE It's a Living/Making a Living. The 1st two seasons were short so they could be released in one set. I know for a fact both Ann Jillian and Gail Edwards would LOVE to see it on DVD and record commentaries. It's too bad not many people remember this show, because it's the #1 show on my DVD wish list. If It's a Living and Vega$ were released, I'd have every show I wanted on DVD.

I loved this show growing up. There has been talks of putting on DVD and in reruns in the past but nothing has come of it. Ann Gillian is a great performer.

And as a strange note, the kitchen set was used on an episode of The Golden Girls where they went to work in a soup kitchen on Christmas.

I would love to see "It's a Living" on dvd. Does anyone know which studio owns the rights? It would make a great retro release. Besides its fan base, I think many tv fans would pick it up simply because they have read a lot about it on message boards.

The last time it was on TV (for a week in 2001), Lorimar/Warner Bros. had the rights. Not sure who owns it now.

Lorimar/Warner owns It's a Living.  Ann Jillian is great and the great Marian Mercer as the hostess/boss, Crystal Bernard, and Sheryl Lee Ralph.  Great cast.

I wonder if Brian knows if they looked into "It's A Living" or not...or whether they were even interested in acquiring it for release. I still see so many posts asking if this show is on dvd all over classic tv message boards.

Brian, is "It's A Living" even a possibility for Shout? I'm impressed by the following this tv show still has after all these years.

RE: It's a Living / Making a Living and Empty Nest

It's a Living really has that whole Soap/Golden Girls vibe going on and it's still my #1 show of unreleased TV on DVD (of which the list has gotten MUCH shorter the last 2 years, thanks to Shout and MPI).

It's a Living, Dobie Gillis, Phyllis, Eight is Enough, 5 Mrs. Buchanans and Delta are the only shows I'm still waiting on.

BTW I'd buy any season sets of Empty Nest, too.
