Hi,

I purchased Marcus Welby recorded from the TV from 2 different sellers.  Combined, I am now only missing 5 episodes.  Do you have any other these episodes that you want to trade with?  Desperately awaiting the official DVDs to come out so I can throw out the bootleg versions, which I've already done for Season 1 and 2.

3-08, Don't Phase Me Out
3-10, The Best is Yet to Be
3-14, Cross-Match
5-25, Designs
7-13, The One Face in the World
7-14, Go Ahead and Cry

Shout Factory, please release future seasons of Marcus Welby.  Don't let fans of the show go purchase bootlegs.  I watched Seasons 1 and 2, got hooked onto it, and went out looking for the entire series to watch.

It seems as though its heading in that direction. It's a sad state the world of dvds is in. All of this new stuff that can be seen on tv is out there and the stuff we can't see in reruns is never made available.

It's not Shout's fault but I'm afraid the costs of licensing are probably enormous (which doesn't make any sense at all) and the studios don't make it easy. For Shout to recouperate their fees, they would need to sell a bundle. If the sales don't continue, then it's not viable for them to continue licensing the next season.

I think what really needs to be asked is "why are studios putting such huge licensing price tags on these shows?" It seems that they want them to stay in the vault because, obviously, smaller independent dvd companies can't afford them so what makes them think anyone will shell out the costs??

I am sad they are not releasing future seasons of Marcus Welby.  I am a rather newish fan (at 28 years old) and find this show having a special quality in it that is no longer available in today's current shows.

I have purchased bootleg versions of all future seasons from ioffer but was really looking forward to collecting the official dvds :(   Why are you letting bootleggers make the money?  It's wrong, but this is the only way for me to watch the episodes.

I brought from 2 different sellers, but I don't have their names.  The first I brought from was one of the cheapest, and after going through that, I wrote down the episodes that were missing in that set and then just brought the discs with those missing episodes from another seller (the 2nd seller lists the disc & episode on their selling page).  Neither seller has has the complete full series.  Quality is like TV recording quality.  Some had commercials cut, and some came with commercials..  I wasn’t picky in that respect because this is a very old show and also because this is the only way I would be able to watch the episodes at all.
