How dare Fox start releasing this show after cancelling further volumes of The Bob Newhart Show and The Mary Tyler Moore Show which they stopped releasing on DVD mid-series?

Don’t bother people, this company will rip you off again and since the first season doesn’t even feature Julia Duffy or Peter Scolari anyway- why bother?

We may never even get to Stephanie at all with Fox’s DVD releasing history.

Nicastro Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:37:53 +0000 http://greattvondvd.com/newhart-the-complete-first-season/#comment-2079 Fox started both THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW and THE BOB NEWHART SHOW and will not continue them in spite of all the pleas from customers. Fox is ignoring them. They don't care. They're just greedy. They want you to buy NEWHART just to drop it after another season or two. Don't fall into this trap. It will NOT be released entirely. If FOX was serious, they other two shows would be continued through their entirety. Remember WRKP IN CINCINNATI? Exactly!

Richards Jr. Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:45:33 +0000 http://greattvondvd.com/newhart-the-complete-first-season/#comment-2078 Here is another example, very similar to Barney Miller and Taxi that started okay, but really built up steam as the characters and the writing got more into a groove. Hopefully enough people buy this that they release more seasons. <br /> <br />By the way, where are the remaining two seasons of Taxi? Newhart always reminded me of Green Acres. If you enjoy intelligent comedy, this is a great series. I always enjoyed it much more than The Bob Newhart Show, although I'm not exactly sure why. <br /> <br />Tom Poston as George the Handyman was great, and, of course, Bob Newhart is a comedic genious. But, to me, what made this such a standout comedy was the complete ensemble of characters and the writing. <br /> <br />I will be purchasing Season 1 and hoping that the rest of the series is also released. However, if you really think about it, I can seriously see the day coming very soon when we do not purchase any DVD's, but just download the series and then burn the disks. Think what the savings would be just in distribution costs and inventory management. <br /> <br />Enjoy..... And, anyone heard any news of the hilarious old chestnut from the Jimmy Carter years, Carter Country ever being released onto DVD?

When it arrived, we went to play it and disc 1 would not work (the other 2 were fine and we enjoyed the shows). Amazon was kind enough to replace the set and the same issue happened with the 2nd set. What a disappointment!!! I hope if I order the dvd's again in the future the same problem won't occur. Rating: 1 / 5 We waited anxiously to receive the dvd set of the Newhart show.
