All in the Family and The Jeffersons

Shout! Factory could have released All in the Family and The Jeffersons, better on DVD years ago!

Sony only released the first 6 seasons of both shows, and didn't even bother with the other seasons!

This year, Sony is more USELESS THAN EVEN!

Please release the remaining seasons on DVD!

RE: All in the Family and The Jeffersons
While I am not a Jeffersons fan myself, I know many people are and hope Shout eventually picks it up. I really would like Season 8 of All in the Family. It's one of the best and has classic episodes such as Edith's 50th Birthday, Edith's Crisis of Faith and Cousin Liz.

RE: All in the Family and The Jeffersons

I agree I would love to see The Jeffersons & All In The Family completed on DVD.  These are both classic iconic shows and if Shout! feels the remaining seasons wouldn't do well at retail, they could always sell them as DTC titles.  I would love to see some extras that Sony screwed us out of.  Sure, they were on the Norman Lear set that probably nobody bought.  Screw the fans who already bought the first season of those shows!  How they hell did they come up with that idea anyway?

Anyway to get back on track, Shout! Factory please acquire these two great series.  Do the shows and us fans right.

 



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

RE: All in the Family and The Jeffersons
I'd really like to see these series released in their entirety as well, because I was too young to enjoy them when they originally aired, and they can be hard to catch in reruns. Please save us from Sony, Shout! It's not fair that Sony has released other, lesser shows in their entirety, but has let these bona fide American classics languish.

I agree.  This really surprises me that these haven't been finished.  I'm a media studies/production student and these are the shows that we still study, discuss, and write papers about.  Its unbelievable some of the shows that get full releases and these classics are just forgotten by Sony.

Sorry for reading tea leaves here, but should we take from this statement that Shout! is committed to finishing AITF? If so, hope you would also try and finish Archie Bunker's Place, just so we could have everything.

And yes, add my vote for wanting the Jeffersons finished as well.

I hope that this means that seasons 2-6 of Maude are also a possibility for SF. This show deserves to be on DVD every bit as much as AITF.

Throw my vote in for also finishing Archie Bunkers Place. It would be nice to have the whole collection.

I'm not a big fan of APB but we need at least the second season.  I want to see the episode dealing with Edith's death.  I think APB is a must to finish off the collection.

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

RE: All in the Family and The Jeffersons
Though I'm thrilled All in the Family has finally been rescued from abandonment, its so frustrating that The Jeffersons, AITF's sister show, abandoned mid-series; Archie Bunker's Place, AITF's follow up series or Norman Lear's other two series, Maude and One Day at a Time, which were abandoned after 1 season release each, are not included in this announcement.

Perhaps Shout! Factory will get up to either The Jeffersons, Maude, and One Day at a Time, once they finish All in the Family, ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Fingers crossed!

well, if Sony and all those other companies would stop releasing crappy product (no offense, Shout! You are wonderful and I love you!) maybe the TV-DVD business would be a little bit better.
