Why no DVDs? Seriously, why?


Who do I have to threaten to get this show on DVD?

Why can I buy Charles in Charge on DVD but not this show?

When will the dvd's be out?I need to watch my favorite paperboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The DVD releases are very very old. They were released in 2000 and I think there might have only been a single pressing.
Even then, I think it was just a "best of" set.

I saw Chris Elliott on Jimmy Kimmel's show last night. Elliott said he had recorded commentaries for the Season 1 episodes, but there were still some legal holdups to releasing the DVD.

reply

Man, I'm sorry I missed him on Kimmel, I stopped watching after they ditched the co-host thing, which was great. You used to be able to get the whole seasons on ebay, but I'm not sure anymore. In any event when (if) they finally do release the full seasons on DVD I'll be one of the first in line. I don't know why this show isn't more popular (maybe it is loved by many and I just don't know), it's one of the only things that makes me genuinely laugh out loud, and not just on first viewing or one of those semi laughs in respect for the quality of the comedy. Release the damn DVD's you bastards!!

reply

Yes, and without the laugh track PLEASE!

I need more episodes...I have 9. It makes NO sense why all these episodes are not released!!!! I wish I could find a torrent link for them, I have waited too long with no DVD release or syndication airings. Comedy Central should add it to their late night programing...

www.ioffer.com has DVD sets for sale of all 35 episodes.
I don't know anything about them...nor do I own a set.
Of course they are are copies that someone probably made from TV VHS recordings back in the day...but it is out there.

I have most episodes on VHS that I originally recorded back in 90/91.
The quality is hideous.
But I do enjoy watching them - especially with the 15 year old commercials.

And, I own the 2 actual Rhino Entertainment DVDs that were put out many years ago.

Long Live SPEWEY.

reply

Any word on a release? I just don't get why this is not out yet! I have the Rhino versions, but I need the rest of the episodes!

reply

Nothing yet. Maybe it is time to start taking a more hands on approach against whomever is holding this back because sweet Jesus 17 years and STILL NO DVD RELEASE!!

reply

reply

Don't release them, hooray for torrents...

reply

They will probably still sell when they are released, but many fans have already bought the series, with very good quality I might add.

In the end, I don't think it will sell as well as it would have five years ago, when more people remembered the series, and there weren't so many good quality bootlegs out there.

They better put a ton of extras on this collection.
