Head of the Class
Another show I think Warner owns the rights too. They released the pilot in a bonus DVD, and I loved it. This show is another classic 80s show that should be released.

RE: Head of the Class

I want to see Head of The Class too! Unfortunately thoughof all the 80s sitcoms I can think of I think this one's got the biggest long shot of making it to DVD. Not because it wasn't good..but because it was a very good show that had more of a very loyal following and not everyone knew about it.

Shout really needs to go to Warner and say "Look, these are the series people on our boards are begging us to release. Every last one of them you own the rights to. How many of them are you willing to give us the rights to and allow us to release them instead?" At least get them to the table to talk about all of this. I would think, if Warner truly doesn't wanna bother with some of these shows it would be best for them to license the rights to Shout, for the sake of all those shows. It's time for Shout to do that, just lay out a list of all their shows in front of them people here are requesting and go look we're willing to look into releasing these, if you'd be willing to give us the rights to them. Simple as that.

This is a show I never saw one episode of until AOL put it on their IN2TV service online a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. I would buy this if Season 1 was ever released.

And Warner Bros (not Brothers) would make at least some money on series just sitting in their vaults.

if you release this you should release the spinoff series Billy that was funny and I was sad when it was cancelled.

I would love to see Head of the Class released.  I have a legitimate--and experienced--fear that it wouldn't sell enough to complete the series.  But I'll have acquisitions take a look.

I would be very happy to see this released, even if it's just a season. The rest could be online exclusives if it doesn't do well.

Even if it's just a season or two. Even if the series isn't finished, a season or two would still be more of this series that I have seen since it was canceled. Anything would be great!.

Me too, although I hope it goes to the stores if it's made. Sold just on the site doesn't work for me. :(

RE: Head of the Class

Hi Brian.  Even if you could just release Season 1 that would totally satisfy me.  Of course it would be nice to release all 5 seasons of HOTC.

Thank you again for all your hard work at Shout! Factory.  I have been purchasing DVD's from your company via Amazon.com and in retail stores.

Keep up the great work and I hope you can release this show and my favourites listed:

Small Wonder, Mr. Belvedere, The Facts of Life, Diff'rent Strokes, My Two Dads, Danger Bay, Empty Nest, The Golden Palace (Golden Girls Season 8) and The Nanny.  As you can see most of these titles are from the 1980s!!!

 

Take care,

Piccolomaster

Hi Brian, I have that same fear too.   I hope we are both wrong if they do release this wonderful comedy on DVD.  I think if they could release the first 3 seasons then I would be happy.

I feel like it would be better to try to get a complete series release instead of seasons, that way you could really sell to the diehard fans that would appreciate and hopefully scoop them right up. :)

RE: Head of the Class
First of all, I'm glad the Acquisitions Dept is actually looking into this show! It does deserve to get out on DVD! I will take it anyway I can get it, at a store or off the site! Even just Season 1 would be way better than nothing! But I agree with Mr. Ward...I think I know the reason going the releasing individual seasons route probably won't be a good idea. As I said before, this series has a VERY loyal but MUCH smaller fan base than some other shows from the 80s. So if they go the releasing by individual season route it may not sell well enough to get past Season 1 BUT Season 1 would be better than nothing. I agree with Quack though whole heartedly. If Shout's going to release this show, the best way to do it would be a Complete Series Boxset with all 5 seasons. As he said all of us that really want the whole series would then be able to get it and they'd have a better chance of reaching all the very loyal fans this way too. The set wouldn't even have to have any extras. Just a complete series box set with every episode would be plenty enough for me and a lot of others at this point. If Shout does this show, I'll support it either way..individual seasons or complete series box set but I'd really like to see a complete series set.

I totally agree with this for sure.  I would love to buy the complete box set (all 5 seasons) of Head of the Class.  I am sure they will put in some extra features.  Cost is not an issue for me.

I Watched The Show...
and enjoyed it. The first few seasons were best, with the original crew of kids. I watched it after that, but not as regularly as those first few years.

Bring it to DVD!
