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.

    • And, Gio is Rocco's half-brother, siblings. 
    • Yes, I would agree that she has some rights to tell Dante because it's their son's brother and it's very unfair Dante never knew.  The whole scenario is odd to me because I don't know why Dante or Olivia were kept in the dark in the first place.  I think Dante would have absolutely accepted Brook Lynn's choice.   I can see Olivia possibly having some issues with it, but she never got the option to react either. 
    • Head trip for EON fans and thanks to @GymnastGuy who's been posting tons of Search episodes on YouTube.  SFT August 22 1985 episode Executive Producer: Erwin Nicholson who produced Edge for nearly two decades; this was his last job (9 months starting March 85 through Nov). Co -Head Writer (with Paul Avila Mayer) Stephanie Braxton who played Winter on Edge Actors: Joe Lambie (Logan) as Lloyd; Lois Kibbee as Grandmere (she stepped in for the Maureen O'Sullivan who had played the part for a few episodes, Lee Godart (Elliot) as Bella; Louise Shaeffer (Serena/Josie) as Stephanie. Other non Edge tidbits: Audrey Peters (Van Love of Life); John Loprieno (Cord OLTL) Of course SFT was filmed at EUE studios where Edge had taped. Most of the technical crew were Edge crew for decades.  Background music same as Edge (Elliot Lawrence productions).

    • Ahh...so in that case it's more of a gray area. But I still think Lulu  has ground to tell Dante as she co-parents with him. 
    • Well Disney owns the archive of all ABC soaps plus Santa Barbara. There are no known plans for Disney to do anything at all with the archive. Some of us are very excited because GH has done modern digitizing of original scenes of young Lucky & young Liz to use as flashbacks now & the past few months. Jerome Dobson last year teased that Santa Barbara might be streamed sometime. It had been tied up in some litigation & that is over now. The reason Disney owns it: it was owned by New World. FOX bought them. Disney bought all of FOX.
    • I casually watched it as a kid, but I finally started X-Men: The Animated Series season 1. It's going to be fun watching it from beginning to end.
    • Thank you very much for the information!!! All the episodes that person sells are the ones which appear or have appeared in youtube, and some have wrong dates.  Due to that, I guess some people, who have rare and inedite episodes, refuse to upload them in internet, because then, others make money. I hope ABC create a place in the net where we can see all the available episodes they must have, as Retro tv did with the Doctors!!!! Retro tv did an awesome job!!!! Have a look :
