It is not that Norman is not allowing it. He's always pleased when it's released on DVD or video because that's income for him.
Of course, sometimes Warners doesn't even tell him. When the DVD's came out in Europe for example, I told him and he sicced his lawyer on them.
Right now, from what I gather, the rights to the show are very tangled. There are reasons for this, some I understand and some I don't.
But remember that Norman has never owned the whole thing, just a piece. And whomever owns the other piece has changed over the years (one reason for the complications).
As I said, my belief is that Warners is waiting until Norman is out of the way.
