A remastered collection of this show, with all 100+ episodes, would be a fantastic release opportunity for Shout!, especially because of its close relation to I Love Lucy. Will we ever see this classic released? |

Member since: 6/24/2010 | | RE: I MARRIED JOAN | There are so many shows from the 1950s I'd like, including "My Little Margie," "Our Miss Brooks," "December Bride," etc.
As for "I Married Joan," I wonder who has the rights. Joan Davis herself owned it, and when she suddenly died in 1961, I guess her only daughter inherited it -- but two years later, her mother, daughter and two grandsons were killed in a fire. (Although Joan Davis died tragically young, it's lucky she didn't live to suffer through that!)
Her son-in-law was out of town on business. I guess he wound up with the rights. But whatever the situation, I doubt there's much demand for these old series any more, which only a small percentage of the population cares about. I'm just glad I can watch several episodes on the Internet. |

Member since: 4/10/2011 | | RE: I MARRIED JOAN | | Great show! Used to see it on CBN back in the 1980's. I'd love to see the whole series on DVD. Somebody put out a couple of sets with a total of 24 episodes several years ago. It was nice to have, but the closing credits were edited. The announcer's listing of the guest cast was omitted. |
