What? 40+ years of episodes? DAYS is having financial problems as it is already. It wouldn't pay of in the end. And who would be able to afford all these DVD's anyway. It would be at least 4-6 DVD boxes for every year, multiply that with 43. :mellow:

A similar thing to what they've done with B&B in the Netherlands would surely be much appreciated by many fans though. And I'm not talking about just one DVD. It could be a series of DVD's with different themes like Christmas in Salem, Memorable episodes, Weddings etc.

Yeah as much as I'd love to have, say, every episode saved of AMC (I know they have nearly every single one from 76 or 77 on and a handful from before) and on DVD it's just not practical--and I'd never be able to justify watching them all. But highlights--particularly FULL episodes would be BRILLIANT to have in nice box sets. (Some Aussie soaps have also been collected by story--)

I think DAYS would be a great soap to realse storyline DVD's.

Id love to see ABC gamble with PC arc's. They dont even need to retail them. Just offer them online, that might cut down on production costs, but it also might copst more that way idk...

I also think a nice outlet would be ITunes. But idk how practicle it would be for most people to download that many epsiodes. lol.

best of dvd's would be nice.

something. please.

I agree that if they did them by mail order--at least to test it out it might make sense. I believe this was how the popular, campy Australian prison soap Prisoner Cell Block H was recently released down under--to a lot more success than they expected (of course, though it has tons of episodes it has far less than most American soaps). Similar to what was done of the, they assumed, less popular pre Barnabas years of Dark Shadows when it was first released

WIth that kinda format surely it would just be a money maker for the studios wouldn't it? they have YEARS of footage just sitting there gathering dust

I'm nto too surprised--fan favorites DVD collections of Australian soaps are, my Ozzie friend claims, pretty big sellers and have been for a while (He just bought one of his faves, the campy serial killer story that briefly made the flop soap E Streets a huge hit, he says, the Mr Bad storyline-- http://www.smh.com.au/news/dvd-reviews/e-s...6857389083.html )

In the link for the Australian one, it shows Universal as the distributor. Since it's known that Bell-Phillip Productions owns anything and everything B&B, one would presume they licensed the rights to Universal to distribute the DVDs abroad. Has anyone checked out links for other countries that offered this (like the one in the Netherlands) to see who distributed those?

I would definitely buy it, too. But like you say, selling soaps on DVD is currently not a standard in the US, so would a US distributor want to take a chance on releasing it here?

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems.
    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
