Not sure if having only eight episodes that it will ever make it to DVD, but I guess anything is possible if enough people out there are willing to purchase the set. |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Young Americans | | I just recently checked TV Shows on DVD and found that Young Americans is ranked as the 63rd (which is very good) TV series people would like to have released on DVD. It's great that a series that only lasted a few months made such an impact that it's a sought after show to be released on DVD. It's too bad the network cancelled it so early. I wonder what the reason for this was. Low ratings? A bit of an oxymoron, considering the numerous people who want those 8 episodes on DVD. What does Brian Ward and Shout! think about the numbers? Is it worth putting maybe a two-disc set together? |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Young Americans | | Two stars of this short-lived series are currently starring on two new shows that premiered this fall. Katherine Moennig on Three Rivers and Ian Somerhalder on The Vampire Diaries. With their current shows doing well, I think Shout! Factory should acquire the license from Sony and release this on DVD. It was only 8 episodes, but it ranks very high with people on the TVShowsOnDVD website. |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Young Americans | | I just wanted to bring this thread and series back to the attention of Shout! Factory. Although this series only lasted two months, it is a very popular show that people would love to own on DVD, ranked 59 on the TVShowsOnDVD website. Also, it is owned by Sony and Shout! Factory has been having great success with licensing shows from this company and releasing shows that had yet to be released or had been stalled! Please release this short-lived, but great TV series, Shout!. |

Member since: 1/27/2010 | | RE: Young Americans | | Just to point this out to the powers-that-be (Brian) at Shout!, "Young Americans" actually does have potential if marketed correctly...it was the one and only spin-off of the The WB's most popular series ever, "Dawson's Creek". In fact, I was kinda surprised Sony didn't release it as a bonus on the "Dawson's Creek" box sets, but they crammed the episodes on the discs, so there was definitely not enough room (they crammed 22-24 HOUR LONG episodes on just FOUR SINGLE SIDED DISCS!). |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Young Americans | | I agree. I think this series should have been tied into Dawson's Creek. Although, I still would love to see this 8 episode series on DVD. Shout! has licensed other shows from Sony. How about this one as well? |

Member since: 5/11/2010 | | RE: Young Americans | I'd like to buy it on DVD too. YA made me a fan of Katherine Moennig and Ian Somerhalder - they were so great in it. And considering they're both more well-known now thanks to The L Word, Lost and The Vampire Diaries ...it's weird Sony hasn't tried to cash in by releasing this. Also the Dawson's Creek connection, of course ...and Ian's working for Kevin Williamson now too! (Maybe they'd be willing to do interviews for/to promote YA DVDs?) So much tie-in/cash-in potential. ;)
But I'm kind of glad Sony hasn't released it since they replaced most of the DC songs and they'd probably do the same for Young Americans. Those eps *need* Nick Drake and David Gray! So, keep ignoring the value of this show, Sony. And please let Shout Factory take it off your hands. :) |

Member since: 8/8/2009 | | RE: Young Americans | | We haven't had a post to this thread for about six weeks, so I thought that I would bring it to the top again for consideration from Shout! on releasing a complete series set of this great summer series. Please license this show from Sony!! |
