    Which long running 50s sitcom would you most like to see get a complete release?

    I'm pretty much in your boat, Gary. The majority of what I'd like to see released is 50s/60s TV and pre 60s B-Westerns, comedies, "fun adventure films," and the few holdout Horror and SF titles - the things I've loved all my life. I'd buy the Weissmuller Tarzan films on BR in a hot second...

    Which long running 50s sitcom would you most like to see get a complete release?

    From that single episode, the daughter in Bachelor Father significantly tempers the lasciviousness of the main character, unlike with Love that Bob which doesn't have that restrictive factor. Otherwise, pretty similar - and that's based on watching the episode "Bentley and the Aunts." His...

    Which long running 50s sitcom would you most like to see get a complete release?

    Without finding and watching an episode I couldn't say if I've ever seen Bachelor Father. All of the others on the list I *have* seen episodes of as many were either still airing or were in syndication when I was a kid. Several played mid-mornings and mid-afternoons where I grew up. **EDIT**...

    Which long running 50s sitcom would you most like to see get a complete release?

    The William Bendix The Life of Riley is the superior one. Jackie Gleason's series is "just OK" in my book (but I'm not much of a Gleason fan so that absolutely colors my opinion).

    Which long running 50s sitcom would you most like to see get a complete release?

    I had no idea how many there were - and that station did *not* air a full year's worth of those episodes (aired once a week) so that makes sense. I've come to expect that from early TV series due to how they were produced and/or aired, especially series which aired live.

    Which long running 50s sitcom would you most like to see get a complete release?

    If the first 2 live years of Burns and Allen are the ones done on a regular theatrical stage (George doing a solo intro with both he and Gracie closing in front of the curtain) then they *should* be somewhere. A local PBS affiliate ran those episodes, along with the rest, for a few years back...

    Which long running 50s sitcom would you most like to see get a complete release?

    Tough choices - Burns & Allen is pretty much neck-and-neck with The Jack Benny Program for me but I went with B&A. Even so, I'd purchase any of those on the list should they see release.
