Marcus Welby, M.D.
Sometime in mid 2010, is there any way or any chance in having that soon to be dvd release of the Robert Young ABC tv 1969-76 medical series "Marcus Welby, M.D." on Shout! Factory with at least season 1 of that show? R.

According to the January newsletter, it is coming on May4th! I hope they reveal the coverart soon. Would love to see what design they've come up with. Hopefully, they will churn these seasons out at a rapid pace. Would love to get the entire series.

They had cover art on the newsletter off to the right side but who knows if it will be permanent.

Please bring "Starman" the 1986-87 tv series, Silver Spoons seasons 2 & beyond and Jennifer Slept Here to DVD.

I'm looking forward to Season 1 of Marcus Welby.  I've already pre-ordered it from Amazon.com.  (Very reasonably priced, too.)

Thank you Shout Factor!

RE: Marcus Welby, M.D.

I too am looking forward to the release of Marcus Welby.

This past month Shout Factory has made me so happy first with the release of Ironside Season 3 (which I am truly enjoying watching right now), then the announcement of Marcus Welby had me so happy I feel like my feet aren't touching the ground.  Now what would really make me so elated would be if Shout could also look into acquiring Medical Center.  This show debuted the same time as Marcus Welby and most people were fans of both these shows.

I came across the Marcus Welby DVD today at the local record store. They put it out a few days early. Nice book inside with lots of pictures. Looking forward to starting that tonight!

I am definitely buying a copy of this. I've seen it advertised a lot on tvshowsondvd.com. I hope it does really well for Shout to warrant future seasons on dvd. I plan on buying every season. Hope to see Season 2 before year's end. Great show!

RE: Marcus Welby, M.D.
I am getting both "Facts" and "Marcus Welby" too. MW is a great show! You will love it. It's a more lightweight medical drama than what it seen on today these days. Can't wait to get my set.

RE: Marcus Welby, M.D.
Picked up FACTS as Barnes and Noble, and grabbed Marcus Welby MD at Best Buy for 34.99 which isn't bad at all. I just hope all seasons can be released. I now an older show like this can be a hard sell. Esp when most people who loved the show back in the day don't use their income much for these type of purchases. Although I think the final season of Murder she Wrote got a release date, so who knows. I was surprised by the case the MARCUS WELBY MD release was sold in but it is fine, like i said on the FACTS of LIFE thread it should help keep costs down. If it helps get more seasons released then I support it. I opened my packaging and I really love the layout and design of each of the DVDs. Esp the color scheme. The booklet is very cool also. I wish I knew more people to recommend the Season one set to. I will just have to spread the word to other blog sites.

RE: Marcus Welby, M.D.-Audio On Pilot
I just got through watching the pilot and I noticed some pretty serious problems with the audio at intermittent spots.   The music sounds very faint like in an echo chamber at many intervals even when the dialogue is strong but there are also a couple places where the dialogue audio seemed to drop a bit and I had to strain a bit more to hear things.   I hope this isn't hte result of a flaw in the mastering.

RE: Marcus Welby, M.D.-Audio On Pilot
I just finished the pilot and didn't notice huge issues at all. I would think any audio issue due to the print and audio given. I never honestly noticed it and i listened to it with my surround sound. Did you notice Albert Brooks in the pilot as the college student w/ a girlfriend walking on the sidewalk. It was late evening/nighttime.

RE: Marcus Welby, M.D.
Just wanna let the folks at Shout Factory know... I got MW M.D. as a blind-buy!  And I usually avoid medical shows like the...ahem...plague.  (I've had enough "medical drama" in real life :P)  But I hear that Marcus Welby's more lighthearted and enjoyable than today's shows in that genre... plus I love Robert Young!  Love his old movies, am happily collecting Father Knows Best... and want to support Shout Factory.  AND it was such a great price, how could I resist? :)  $34.99 CDN for 7 dvds?!  To think Warner still charges $60 for 5-6 dvd boxsets... And your smaller, humble company can afford to give us a better deal than WB-who-own-everything-and-are-zillionaires?  I love it!  Looking forward to checking out the show. :)

Thanks, crispy!  Hope you enjoy.  If you like Robery Young, you'll truly dig Marcus Welby.

My copy of season two arrived today -- I've gone through three episodes so far. Love it! Robert Young & James Brolin are terrific together. The set is great quality, as usual. Thanks for the awesome work. Fingers crossed it does well enough to merit the third season.

I'm still waiting for my copy. Oh Amazon...gone are the days when I would get my pre-orders on the day of release.

Does anyone know if ordering directly from Shout gets the dvds to arrive quicker than Amazon?

I picked up season 2 in support of the show at Barnes & Noble.

Sadly I'm on disc 1 of season 1! I need to get caught up.

I ordered from amazon and chose regular shipping, and it arrived on Tuesday. It may depend on where you live, though, and how close you are to where the product ships from. We have an amazon facility here, so on most items the turnaround is very quick.

No such luck. I'm still waiting. It looks like Amazon lost my copy. And I'm sure as hell not going to order from them again. They have my money and I have no dvd. Amazon really stinks!

Did you try to contact amazon.com's customer service? I would imagine they would try to fix the situation with replacing your copy. Usually they have tracking attached to the order... it could be it was mis delievered maybe?

RE: Marcus Welby, M.D.
Yeah, they gave me a refund and I've actually since found it at a local Barnes & Noble. So I got my copy there. I've also read many comments from people all over message boards agreeing that Amazon's Customer Service has declined quite a bit this past year. So I have steered clear of them since. I'm amazed at the good customer service I've received at other online retailers in comparison to Amazon. The smaller companies have been much better which is a bit surprising. I'm trying out Shout Select for the next season of "The Facts Of Life" to see if it arrives on or around the release date. If it does, I will be buying all future Shout dvds direct.

RE: Marcus Welby, M.D.

I am really anal retentive with my packaging, esp paper style cases so I can't order certain things thru amazon cause it can be hit or miss for what condition it can come in. So I buy those in stores.

With ShoutFactory I have made several orders and the shipping is really fast and the dvd cases are always in mint condition. No box cuts or dents etc.

RE: Marcus Welby, M.D.

Well, I am already impressed with Shout. I think they are one of the only companies left that give that personal touch to customer service. I mean, where do you see producers take the time to share upcoming news and actually listen to feedback. Even if they do make a mistake (many times it isn't even their fault), they don't just hide and leave it at that. They come on and talk about it. That's what I love about Shout.

Hoping for more Marcus Welby too. Thought I'd add that little note in there.
