This series has stalled after the release of the first season and I know there are many fans out there, like myself, who would love to own the remainder of the series on DVD. Is this a title you can convince Sony to license to Shout! Factory to finish releasing? The fans of this show will thank you!! |

Member since: 1/23/2010 | | RE: Silver Spoons | | I'm with you guys I certainly want to see the rest of Silver Spoons too. Of all the 80s sitcoms out there this is probably the one I've seen the least episodes of. It shouldn't be hard to work with Sony to get this one either :) There isn't much in the way of licensing/music clearance either. I thought sure Sony would support it better than they did. I think the most difficult studio to work with getting rights to stuff from is Warner by and far. All the other studios out there are starting to go in slightly different directions...focusing on their movie catalogs more and are at least willing to talk about licensing their TV show IPs to other interested publishers. |

Member since: 7/9/2007 | | RE: Silver Spoons | | I don't, but there was a woman on the Sitcoms Online board named Judith Moorse (something like that). She was involved with the show in some way and at first she said Sony would released all seasons, but then backtracked and said they decided not to release any after season 1. I don't know if it was because of sales or not. |

Member since: 7/5/2007 | | RE: Silver Spoons | Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about (Judith Moose). First of all, Sony probably told her they were committed to releasing all the seasons just to get her off their back. I can't see Sony making that type of committment without knowing how sales would be. Season one didn't live up to their expectations, but that doesn't mean Shout! can't try to release it. Shout! has picked up shows that other studios abandoned because their sales requirements are higher. So far Shout! has announced picking up Facts of Life, Mad About You and The Larry Sanders Show so I'm hoping an announcement for Silver Spoons will be forthcoming soon too. This might be a show worth looking into releasing a complete series set up front if Shout! does indeed pick it up. Please Shout!

Member since: 6/5/2010 | | Rights To Produce: No Go? | To Whom It May Concern,
I don't know if I should go into detail or not, but what the "hey", right?
There is a lady that comes to the SitcomsOnline Silver Spoons message board that is real nice and has "insides" to the television industry. Especially when it comes to this wonderful 1980s classic sitcom. There was a thread over there and a fan mentioned wanting Shout! Factory to release the remaining Seasons of Silver Spoons since Sony wouldn't. (apparently due to dvd sales of the first season, I believe, no suprise there... unfortunately.)
Anyway, she has told the fans over at SitcomsOnline that Sony won't give Shout! Factory the "okay" to produce the series. Have you heard anything like this?
If you'd like the thread link, I'd be more than happy to send it to anyone from Shout! Factory, mainly, who would like it. :) |

Member since: 1/12/2007 | | RE: Rights To Produce: No Go? | There are all kinds of reasons why outside companies may not get the rights to shows. A.) Sony may not have all the rights you think they do. B.) There may be extensive music clearances, keeping indie labels like us away from the prospect of clearing them. C.) The projections on those titles may not be high enough to warrant a release from a smaller company. D.) Those shows may be on a list of desired titles, but not as high as others. These deals aren't done in one lump sum. Like any other indie, third-party label, Shout! acquires shows in bunches and nurture our good relationships with the studios throughout the creation and release of those titles. If we continue to like them and they continue to like us, we proceed with additional titles. Lots of stuff going on behind the scenes. Studios aren't to be blamed, just because they're the big boys. They're a business like any other.

Member since: 1/12/2007 | | RE: Silver Spoons | As for "Christmas dreams," I'm afraid the most you would've gotten would be an announcement. We generally work 5-6 months ahead on projects.
And while it may be true for collectors, selectivity is not how to run a business. If S1 doesn't sell, the general rule is that S2 definitely won't sell. After all, in most cases, it's hard to believe that fans would by the second volume of something when they haven't bought the first. In home entertainment, sales of subsequent volumes always drop off from the first. And the numbers on S1 were, sadly, too low for us to be able to make a worthwhile offer to the studio and still be able to turn a profit after production and packaging costs. That might be because S1 was prior to the Alfonso years, but that's a hard argument for the number crunchers who don't know the series. And it's an awfully big gamble. What if they accept that argument, go after it and it still fails? Above all, it should be remembered that we LOVE fulfilling fans' collections, but Shout! Factory is still a business.

I've heard discussed here the fact that some Shout! releases were part of a package deal, like The Norm Show & Malcolm & Eddie.

Member since: 1/12/2007 | | RE: Silver Spoons | Creating package deals is always an option, and honestly, a preferred option. But it masks the fact that we'd still have to release the show with music costs and low sales expectations. It really still comes down to the fact that the first season didn't sell well. So it really doesn't matter how many other titles we pick up along side it, if the costs of music clearance and production outweigh the projected sales, it's really not a good deal for us.
Not saying Silver Spoons isn't a future title to keep an eye on, but I am saying that in this economy "Joe DVD Buyer," as opposed to "Joe DVD Addict"--like us--isn't buying shows like this. And we very much need them to. Because there just aren't enough DVD addicts out there to cover these costs.

Member since: 7/5/2007 | | RE: Silver Spoons | Thanks for the response Brian. Maybe someday soon we'll have a sudden surge of Joe DVD Buyers buying a few thousand sets of Silver Spoons S1 I guess I won't be changing my signature anytime soon. Oh well
Please bring "Starman" the 1986-87 tv series, Silver Spoons seasons 2 & beyond and Jennifer Slept Here to DVD. |

Member since: 1/10/2011 | | RE: Silver Spoons | But Shout! Factory has the "power of release" for the shows the big studios want them to release, is that true?
If that is the case, then you have the power to refuse some shows. Oh man! That is so Great! I would just say, "I'm not releasing this title until we get this other title" if you have that kind of power.
You would rule the world of TV shows on DVD- this would definitely bring the big studios like Sony or Fox to their knees. Ha Ha Ha! An evil, fiendish plan if I do say so myself.
