Member since: 10/8/2009 | | RE: The new and improved Rhoda Season 5 thread | | I just finished watching the Season Five episodes I recorded long ago on VHS. I forgot how enjoyable those episodes are. I can't wait to see them in unedited, remastered form on DVD in the near future.
Maybe when Shout! Factory releases Season Five it can create a Rhoda series box set as it did with It's The Garry Shandling Show and The Larry Sanders Show. (That would also be a great opportunity to add the unedited versions of the Season One episodes and fix the end of the Season Four episode, "Five For The Road." And it would be a fantastic chance to add the "Carlton Your Doorman" animated pilot to the collection!) |

It's not like anyone else is trying to outbid Fox, and it's not like there are any music issues holding it up. And for that record, this can apply to any other Fox shows that Shout has been supposedly trying to get more of. |

Member since: 10/8/2009 | | RE: The new and improved Rhoda Season 5 thread | | It may be that Fox isn't willing to give the rights to Season Five at a price Shout! Factory is willing to offer, not that Fox has refused ANY offer.
They say that sales of season sets taper off dramatically after the first season or two. Because Season Four is only available from Shout! at a significantly higher price than Season Three sets from Amazon, it stands to reason that sales of Season Four dropped off pretty sharply. The fact that Season Five is only 13 episodes may be a blessing in this regard. Shout! can sell Season Five sets at a cheaper price than Season Four and yet take in as much if not more revenue per episode if it's priced right. As a result, I don't see why Shout! can't make an acceptable offer to Fox if it really wanted to. |

Member since: 10/8/2009 | | RE: The new and improved Rhoda Season 5 thread | It doesn't make a lot of sense, doesn't it? Perhaps the rights to Season 5 simply ran out, but I can't fathom why Shout! would have sat on its hands and let a deadline like that pass by.
I have to admit, since Shout! Factory dropped the ball on Rhoda, I have essentially given up on purchasing single season sets from Shout! I've learned my lesson: It's either a complete series, or it's nothing, as far as I'm concerned.
