JoeySanJoaquin Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Looks like there's a new package DVD release in the works of all the Dean Martin "Roasts", and you know who is inevitably hopefully going to be included! Here's a link to the full news bulletin over on the wundaful site TVShowsOnDVD.com: http://www.tvshowson...ity-Roast/18512 Also of possible interest to many folks here is the news that more Carol Burnett on DVD appears to be on the way as well as the great albeit preliminary news that more Carol Burnett Show 'Family' sketch spinoff sitcom Mama's Family DVDs may also be finally coming our way! http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Carol-Burnett-Christmas-with-Carol/18513 http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Mamas-Family-Seasons-1-and-2/18515 All I can say is ooh my poor bank account and Woohoo!!!

RodMcK1 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Nice, but what I really want to see is all of the original "family" sketches from TCBS released together as a set. Also, that one-shot "family" special would be great. I still have my VHS recording from the original broadcast of that show in which Mama dies at the end.

LucyImHome Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Season 1 of Mama's Family is being re-released, and Season 2 is being released for the first time. It is believed that these sets will have the original network episodes. It would be great if the tv-special, Eunice, could be an extra! This is the special refered to above, starring Carol Burnett as Eunice, Vicki Lawrence as Mama, Harvey Korman, Ken Berry and Betty White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickie Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I too would love a DVD of all the Family skits from the Burnett show and the Eunice special could be an added bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I would welcome all of the Dean Martin roasts and Carol Burnett's FAMILY sketches on DVD, they should have come out years ago. I already have Lucy's roast, thank God. A copy but flawless and I always loved the Family sketches, they were the best of her series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desilufan2 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Speaking of new releases, this June a new volume of Johnny Carson's tonight show is coming out! This volume has the complete 10th anniversary show and another complete show as well as bonus features. Carson's company is making it very clear that in order for them to continue to release shows these must sell well. So even if you aren't as big a Carson fan as I am im begging you to go out and get it. Then they might release the Lucy interviews along with the other big stars that did the show!

Whenever ANY of them release something with Lucy on it, i'm in, otherwise they can keep it all. I am not interested in buying anything with The Osmonds, Merv Griffin, or even Dean and Carol if Lucy is not featured on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point is that for them to continue to release shows WITH lucy in them we need to buy what they are putting out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but for the osmonds, Merv Carol and Dean to release anything without HER being in the first one out means I'm out and no longer interested, I get your point, but if they didn't give a hoot about making sure Lucy would help sell their first releases by including her in, they're too stupid to know how to handle these things. You'll get me interested in your product when you include, the first Lady of Comedy, sorry, just how I personally feel.

Lucyilove Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I too would love a DVD of all the Family skits from the Burnett show and the Eunice special could be an added bonus. What's far more likely to happen is the EUNICE special will be released on dvd and a couple of Family skits from TCBS will be bonus features. It's rare for any bonus feature to run over a hour, otherwise they'd released it as a solo. I would love to see a set of the skits too but that's a lot of work to go through and pull them out and not sure if any of these dvd companies will bother doing it.

Well, there ya go, finally someone knows how to SELL something, put Lucy on the cover, not like those idiots that sold us Carson, Griffin and Osmond compilations. If Lucy`s not on the cover, or at least IN the DVD, then they can keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
