Higher Ground
This was an excellent show that centered on a group of troubled teens living and attending school at a sanctuary in the Pacific Northwest.  The cast included Joe Lando (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) & feature film actor, Hayden Christensen, and was full of drama and adventure.  It ran for 22 episodes in 2000 and the down side to this series is that it was cancelled after only one season.  A complete series set on DVD of this show would be great!  I think the show was Canadian or at least filmed in Canada, so I am unsure as to who owns the rights.  Maybe they're up for grabs.  Definitely worth looking into by Shout!.

It also starred Criminal Minds AJ Cook, Battlestar Galactica's Kandyse McClure, Vampire High's Megan Ohry, Lizzie McGuire's Kyle Downes and Stargate: Atlantis's Jewel Staite.

I would love to see this show on DVD

RE: Higher Ground
I checked the TV Shows on DVD website to find out where this show ranked on unreleased series people most want on DVD and discovered that voting on this show has been suspended.  The reason for this is because numerous people were setting up multiple accounts in order to give this series a higher ranking.  On the negative side, people were breaking rules that were set up by the website in regards to voting.  However, on the positive side, it is obvious that MANY people are wanting to see this show released on DVD; so much so, that they were willing to bend the rules a little for this great series.  As I said in my initial thread, I truly believe this show needs a complete series set release!

Brian,

Not sure whether you have had a chance to read this thread on releasing Higher Ground, but I truly believe this is a show worth releasing the complete series (22 eps).  Many TV and a few motion picture stars who are working on shows and in movies right now were on this show in their late teens and early twenties.  It was a terrific show with great writing/acting!!!

RE: Higher Ground
It has been six months since my last post to this thread I started about wanting to own a complete series set of this great show.  Any ideas or news from Shout! on this one?  Any other fans of this show out there wanting a release on DVD?

RE: Higher Ground
I somehow missed this show... but I loved Jewel Staite on Flash Forward, so I'd be curious to see it ...only one season means it would probably be a very reasonable price for a blind-buy. :)  Shout's releases are always affordable (still can't get over what a great deal Facts of Life and Marcus Welby M.D. were!)

Any interest from Shout! on acquiring and releasing a complete series set of this great show?  I believe the rights are held by Paramount and with the newly licensed Webster from Paramount, maybe this one is a good possibility, too.  Please Shout!

It has been a couple of months since I lasted posted to this thread and wanted to bring it to the attention of Shout! Factory in order to get some feedback on what they think about acquiring and releasing a complete series set (22 eps) of this show.

RE: Higher Ground
Preppy, unfortunately, I just can't comment on every suggestion, as I'm often extremely busy producing sets and/or commenting on sets that are being produced.  Your suggestion has not gone ignored.  It's with the powers that be.  But no word doesn't mean we're not looking into it.  It simply means we've not officially acquired anything.  I'll let you know if that changes.  But these deals often take months, if not years to complete.

Thanks!

Brian
