OK. Probably a dumb question, but ...

I was thinking ... if there is some ownership issue that's holding up the DVDs - why the hell was it possible to put out videos? Surely the same constraints would have applied, yet we got 22 videotapes.
 
Now I'm a trifle irate, as I always get when thinking about this. What, are they waiting for their prime fucking audience to DIE? Morons! We're here, we have disposable income! Get with the friggin' program already!


Thanks. I feel better now. Not much, but better.

My theory is that they are waiting for Norman to die. Then, they'll buy up whatever leftover rights there are from his heirs and be able to do anything they want.

But Norman is still in good health, so we may be waiting a bit longer.

I hadn't thought about the fact that they managed to release some episodes on videotape. Good question. Unfortunately, I'm not sure we'll ever get an answer. It really is getting to be quite annoying, especially when you see what shows they have managed to release onto DVD.

It really, really sucks. Makes me want to punch somebody.
