Any word about when "I Dream of Jeannie" will come out on DVD?

I figured now that Bewitched is coming out on DVD I am hoping that "I
Dream of Jeannie" can't be far behind, so I was wondering if anyone has
heard anything as to if and hopefully when it will finally come out in
a dvd boxset?

Man I have been waiting it seems like half past forever for it to
finally show up, yet it seems that everything else made during that
same 60's/70's time period is being released except IDOJ!

In fact now that I think on it a little I do not recall having seen a
lot of the better stuff Barbara Eden has starred in out on DVD, which
seems strange as she was and still is very popular?

Keep in mind that the biggest reason that BEWITCHED is getting a DVD release
is because of its cross-promotional value with the feature film that's being
released.

Which brings us to IDOJ. Since there are plans for a new feature film based on
*that* show, as well (in 2006), we're likely going to see a DVD release of the
original series as a tie-in that it.

In other words, don't hold your breath.

Trust me. The amount of TV series from that period being released isn't even as
large as a smidgen.

Yah, when oh when will we see "It's about Time" (It's about Space,
it's about a far-away long-ago place,) "My Living Doll" with Julie
Newmayer or especially "My World and Welcome to it" a genuinely
literate piece of sitcom art? - Probably as full-series sets. "My
Favourite Martian" and "Dark Shadows" are being well taken care of...
No, I would NOT want to see "My Mother the Car!".

I'm still waiting for the Quinn-Martin Productions from the 60's -
particularly "The Fugitive" and "The Invaders".

Yes, I want "The Invaders"

So do I. Also:

THE DEFENDERS
THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
THE GREEN HORNET
HONEY WEST
T.H.E. CAT

and a whole host of others.

Given the popularity of the LAW & ORDER franchise, I'm surprised that the
"original L&O" -- ARREST & TRIAL -- hasn't been dusted off for DVD release.

Have you seen any episodes of the man from uncle in the past 10 years?
It was one of my favorite shows when it first aired, but I saw it 10
years ago or so, and thought that it had NOT aged well at all.

-- but I'd take any of the others except Honey West, which I didn't like
at the time.

Yes, I have. I have both 8-episode LD boxed sets, plus the Region 2 DVD set of
five of the feature-film versions. While the show does seem dated, I still think
it's a hell of a lot of fun.

I would love to see "The Invaders" on DVD as well. That was just a
1-season show, right? I hate it when first seasons of a treasured show
are released to DVD, and you rush out and buy it and then wonder when,
or IF, they are ever going to release subsequent seasons. Obviously
the success of a show's Season 1 sales determines if later seasons get
released, but sometimes it seems cruel to have a nicely boxed Season 1
of a show and wonder if you will ever get to see anymore.

To add to that wish list of 60's shows I'd like to see come out on DVD:
1) Batman
2) The Mothers-in-Law
3) McHale's Navy

Also, since "Dallas", and now "Dynasty", are out on DVD, wouldn't it be
a hoot if they released the granddaddy of all nighttime soaps, the one
that sort of started it all? By this I mean, "Peyton Place". I seem
to vaguely remember that 1/2 hour show being on either 2 or 3 nights a
week, and that it ran for 4 or 5 years, no?. I know the 2 theatrical
movies are out on DVD, but wouldn't it be a blast to see some of those
old TV episodes starring Barbara Parkins, Ryan O'Neal, and Mia Farrow??

It may have been longer than 1 season. I have the entire run on DVD-R and
there are 43 one hour episodes.
