My Three Sons: Season Two, Vol. 2



A definite must of a classic
I grew up with My Three Sons (the ones in color during my time) but when TV Land lived up to their true motto of playing tv classics, that is when I was introduced to the B&W versions like this dvd, as well as other classic shows (Donna Reed Show, Patty Duke Show, Father Knows Best, etc.) I do wish like the other viewers, that they just released the whole season in one set, instead of splitting it up into two volumes each season, but if that's the price my family plays to have wholesome fun entertainment, then so be it. My three young boys (no pun intended) thoroughly enjoy watching this with me. My boys are ages 12, 11, and 9 and we totally make it a special time together. Thanks for releasing this and hopefully more of the classics will follow!

Greed is not family friendly
I loved this show during its years on television. I will not, however, put my hard-earned money down for a half season at a time. This kind of greed is inexcusable. A boycott will not work if some people are gonna pay for them the way they're being sold. I have a feeling that it's not selling as well as the sellers had hoped. At least I'm hoping it isn't.

will they release them all?
While I don't like the split season concept, my bigger concern is wasting money to buy the first two seasons and then never having the rest of the seasons released. I have been burned a bunch of times already: Party of Five, Charlie's Angels, Sliders, All in the Family, Bob Newhart, Knots Landing, Family Ties, George Lopez, Happy Days, The Virginian. I have noted countless others have done this since I wised up and decided to wait until all were out before taking the plunge. I know they think that they can gauge our interest by looking at sales numbers. However, they don't realize that shoddy practices of releasing only a few seasons and then not releasing later seasons is hurting their initial sales. Sony Entertainment is the absolute worst about this and has hurt sales for all series.
