Phyllis? It would go great next to my Rhoda DVDs!
I've just finished watching my Rhoda season 2 dvd and I remembered how much I LOVED the series Phyllis.

Mr. Brian Ward, are there any plans to release this at all? Or has it been looked into?

I'm hoping Rhoda seasons 4 & 5 will be released as one set, and will be followed up by Phyllis season 1.  I want Phyllis to be released so bad!!!!

Well, I thought since season 5 is not a complete season, it might be a better seller if it was combined with season 4.  At any rate I want Rhoda to be completed ALL FIVE SEASONS.   And I hope for both seasons of Phyllis too!

RE: Phyllis? It would go great next to my Rhoda DVDs!
I just noticed that between this line of "Phyllis" posts and the ones on the "Phyllis on DVD" posts, "Phyllis" is the 3rd most talked about show in Shout Factory's "TV From the '70s" folder, behind Rhoda at #1 and Maude at #2. Since Rhoda will nearly complete its DVD run by the end of the year, that bumps "Phyllis" up to #2 (of all '70s shows) behind "Maude" [and only behind by 3 posts]. So, Shout Factory, I hope you're paying attention to what shows are being talked about more than any other shows, and the fact that "Phyllis" is one of the two most highly wanted '70s shows on DVD - and that you'll start releasing "Phyllis" soon!

I would be so happy to get all of Phyllis on DVD,unedited of course.

I preferred the photo  studio setting of season1 as to the office setting of season2.

I'm sure Shout will go ahead with Phyllis on DVD soon,I hope!

Phyllis was such a wonderful show and really deserves to be reborn on DVD.  I really hope Shout will release it very soon!

Seems to me, a lot of people here want PHYLLIS !!!!!   Please Brian,  tell your gang there we want it.  The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rhoda series sets will never be complete without their other "sister" show!

I've told 'em.  Unfortunately, it's not as easy as us simply deciding we want it.  The studio has to also decide they want to give it up.  And they haven't done that, yet.

RE: Phyllis? It would go great next to my Rhoda DVDs!
Brian, you've said the studio hasn't decided it even wants to license "Phyllis". I assume that the same studio owns both "Rhoda" and "Phyllis" (probably a company under the MTM umbrella.) One can then deduce that this studio wants to make money licensing "Rhoda" to Shout Factory but doesn't want to make money licensing "Phyllis" to you! Why would they care which shows they make money from? And given the choice of making zero dollars (not licensing "Phyllis" to Shout Factory) or making money (licensing it), why on Earth would any company choose the option of making zero dollars? I just don't get how any company would think it's a wise business decision to NOT sell/license their products ... especially when someone's asking for it. Maybe Shout Factory can push this company a bit more to license it ... after all, you've probably got a good relationship, having licensed "Rhoda" from them.

This is in no way a dispute to Brian's comments, but I do find it strange that Fox would be so willing to license out "Rhoda" which was the much bigger, longer-running hit of the two, yet seem so tight-fisted and unwilling to let "Phyllis" go. Perhaps they plan on a MOD release sometime in the future?
