I love Shout Factory! They treat classic shows with respect! I was soooo happy when they released the entire Designing Women series on DVD.I just wish they could get the rights to A Different World and Too Close For Comfort and release the entire set

I was about to post the new info and pic of box cover...the date of the release is Dec 9....good time to enjoy it over the christmas holidays.

As for FOL...I am sure it will be out probably in February...I guess they couldnt handle releasing two classics close to Christmas time...although they do have WBK and WKRP also coming out in November.

This is great news. Great show and one of the best, most memorable theme songs in TV history. Does anyone have a favorite episode? I have several - when George throws the dinner party and gets a ginormous piano that takes up practically the whole living room, when George's friend (Lou Gossett Jr.) puts the moves on Louise only to have Mother Jefferson come after him with an umbrella (LOL!!!), and when George makes a delivery to a mental ward and is mistaken for a patient. (Love the patient who keeps asking, "You wanna PEN???" LOL!!!)

On the more serious side, the episode that won Isabel Sanford her Emmy was the one where Louise learns that the apartment building where she grew up is set to be torn down, so she goes down there for one last visit and to reminisce. She takes one of the doorknobs of her former home (that she always thought looked like a diamond) with her for a souvenir. The actress who played the younger Louise in the flashbacks was Sharon Brown, the real-life daughter of Johnny Brown, best-known for playing Nathan "Buffalo Butt" Bookman on Good Times.

I loved "And the Doorknobs Shined Like Diamonds" as well. That, and the episode where Florence questions her faith in God after the pastor at her church rips off her IRS refund. For all the crude and silly stuff he wrote on "Married...with Children," Michael G. Moye, who wrote both episodes, could also write some very affecting and meaningful stories.
