WHEN? DVD

I know "Car 54" was released on VHS years ago, maybe not all the episodes and maybe not in order, but they're there. But I, too, am waiting to see it on DVD. I have a lot of the shows recorded from Nick at Nite, but I would like to have them uncut and uninterrupted in digital quality. Andy maybe while we're wishing we could get some special features like TV promos from that time and commercials. The commercials that are included in a couple of the seasons of "Andy Griffith" on DVD are great. The actors, still in character, plugging Sanka and Jello Pudding. Very fun.

This show was AWESOME! I too am anxiously waiting...

I'm afraid you are right. If we get lucky, maybe it will somehow, someway, it'll appear on DVD.

Nat Hiken created two of the funniest shows in the history of TV. Yet, neither Car 54 nor Bilko have had seasonal releases. Meanwhile, every lousy sit-com under the sun gets the dvd treatment. Whoever owns the rights to these shows should be ashamed. Even if they believe that people won't buy these series in mass quantities, the shows still deserve to be available based on the on the fact that they're two of the greatest comedies ever produced. Maybe when every other TV show has been released on dvd, and Hiken's are the only two left, we'll get them.

I don't understand why if you want to see these again so bad you wouldn't buy a copy someone recorded off nick at Nite. i recorded them and although the quality isn't real good I am just glad I have them and can watch them anytime i want. I waited almost 30 years to see them again.

Thanks Robert. That's good to know. I was really hoping it would get the GET SMART:The Complete Series treatment with a ton of extras, but after the flop they did a decade ago, I don't see enough interest from the studio to beef up another release.

I bought this set and was very disappointed when I realized it was obviously copied from reruns on the t.v. There are 10 diskettes. One doesn't work at all and the rest are somewhat flawed. But since I dearly love the show I'll take what I can get.

It's funny, the actors are great, and the plots - although not too complicated - are beautifully written.

Also, Rocky Graziano, Sugar Ray Robinson, Margaret Hamilton, etc. as guest characters. How can you miss?

It's really too bad more people aren't award of it. I talk about it frequently and get dull stares. But I would love to have a really good set of DVDs - don't see it happening though.

Maybe others will have more success than I.

DearShemp,
when you do get them - could you write as to the quality of the discs? I'd seen some myself on the site and always wondered as I'm looking to get the series on dvd as well. Thanks!
