TV Movie - "The Babysitter" 30th Anniversary in 2010
This is a truly great suspense drama starring Patty Duke, William Shatner, the late John Houseman, Quinn Cummings, and Stephanie Zimbalist as Joanna Redwine, that has never made it to DVD.  Given that Shout! Factory is releasing The Patty Duke Show - Season 1 this year and the 30th Anniversary of "The Babysitter" coming in 2010, I would absolutely love to see Shout! Factory release a quality DVD of this movie with a few bonus features thrown in - maybe a reunion with Patty, Bill, Quinn, and Stephanie reflecting back on the making of this well-acted, well-written TV movie would be awesome!

Given that we have a relationship with both Patty and Bill, I'll certainly forward it along.

Thanks, Brian!  Also, there is another TV movie that was released on television three years later titled "Summer Girl", that starred Barry Bostwick, Kim Darby, and Diane Franklin.  It was based on the novel by Caroline Crane.  The movie did follow a somewhat similar plot, but had its own unique style and was also well-acted.

You're not the only one who wants to see this on DVD.  I have an old VHS copy & still watch it.  I would love an anniversary DVD with special features.

Please bring "Starman" the 1986-87 tv series to DVD. Please bring Gimme A Break seasons 2 & beyond to DVD. Please bring Silver Spoons seasons 2 & beyond to DVD.

Hey Brian- A month ago you had stated that since your company has a working relationship with Patty Duke and William Shatner that you had planned to pass along the idea about a possible anniversary edition of The Babysitter.  Do you have any information to give us yet as to whether Shout! Factory is looking into acquiring the rights and producing this on DVD?    I firmly believe that a quality DVD of this TV movie with some bonus material (reunion) would make numerous fans happy!
