New World is not around anymore, they were bought by FOX in 1997. Made a few phonecalls and found out that:

Sony holds the domestic rights to air the show.

FOX holds the international rights to air the show.

We are trying to get the show released on dvd, with a "Best Of" box to start off with to see how the sales would be. I would REALLY apreciate it that anybody who loves the show "likes" my page on facebook. The more people in there, the more buzz and fuzz we can create about this matter, the better.

And im glad you guys are enjoying the videos. Much more coming, just takes time :)

Here is the link to the facebookpage:

As far is know the lawsuit from the Dobsons against New World was settled in 1991 outside of court. They hold no rights to the show. 100% domestic rights belongs to Sony, and international to FOX.

Cant really believe the show, since it "only" aired for 8 1/2 years hasnt been aired again. Lets hope we get the show on dvd, atleast a "Best Of" set.... its about time!

Thanks again for clarifying. I had no idea they signed away their profits to the show as part of the out-of-court settlement. You're also right that they crammed a lot into less than a decade. It seems like the show went on longer than that.

SantaBarbaraNBC, do you have Episode 152 in your collection somewhere - in English? That was the episode that showed the scenes at the graveyard after Joe's funeral and showed Amy and Brick making up in the aftermath of a misunderstanding about Elizabeth Peale. I've never seen the entire episode and would love to. Thanks!

I do. Let me take a look tonight :)

And yes, they sure got packed alot of stuff into those years. If your name wasnt Marcy Walker, A Martinez or Robin Mattson you were not safe on that show. They got rid of alot of talent way to fast wich i believe was also one of the main reasons why SB struggled in the sense of a long-term commitment from US-viewers. Ofcurse it didnt help being opposite against established and popular soaps as GH and GL.

    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
