Jennifer Slept Here
Brian, I know this is a long shot, but would Shout Factory consider releasing "Jennifer Slept Here" the one season wonder from teh early 80's starring Ann Jillian?  I know a lot of people have been looking for copies of this show online and with proper marketing I think it would sell well considering Ann Jillian still has a lot of fans out there.

RE: Jennifer Slept Here

Me too!  I just saw the JSH pilot online, and true it didn't have Emmy-award winning writing, but it still inspires many fond memories to me.  Hey I was an '80s kid, I was happy with shows I found funny and/or exciting, and maybe a character or more with powers or a car.  And as a boy, a hot woman helped, and Ann was/is certainly one. 

This would be the perfect property for Shout! 

Also, having been watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show, I was thrilled to recognize Georgia Engel as the mother on JSH.

RE: Jennifer Slept Here

Being an 80's child myself I totally agree with you.  I didn't even think anyone remembered this show besides me until I searched for it online.  I even tried to email Ann through her website and got a repsonse from her husband.  He said they get many requests for the show, although they obviously don't own it and can only wait for it to be released.  I remember I had a crush on Ann while watching the show.  Yeah, it wasn't Emmy type material, but it certainly was amusing and seems to have a cult following.  This is the type of show that will probably never see a release unless of course Shout! tries to pick it up, and I really think it would be a great title for them. 

Although I don't remember most of the episodes, I remembered the theme song almost word for word for that many years.  "I just saw the most beautiful ghost in the world, and she slept here...."

PLEASE Shout!
