I thought music rights clearance only had to do with a home video release of a TV show and not TV syndication. The reason there is a problem with some shows is because it was never considered at the time that a show like Donna Reed was made that the show would be sold for home use and therefore...

Here are parts of an interview with Shelley Fabares where she talks about the show and Johnny Angel . She starts talking about the show at about the 6 minute mark of the first video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpvW4h3mgtg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz4VJWAJ1Fk&NR=1

Good News. Per the Amazon listing the release date has been moved up a week to December 13, 2011. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NHZAXM/ref=ox_ya_os_product

Amazon is showing cover art with its listing. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NHZAXM Can anyone confirm picture is from 4th Season?

I remember when Nick At Nite first airred Bewitched it was only the first two seasons, the B&W ones. It was promoted as episodes not seen in 10 years. I believe TBS had the basic cable rights to the color episodes. When TBS's license expired Nick At Nite got the color ones also. I am grateful...

Just a guess but Season 5 was Mary's last season as a regular and when Trish arrived. If they skipped Season 5 you wouldn't know where Mary went and how Trish came to live with the Stones.

Of course it is. How is the Donna Reed estate now owning the 1st five years of the show any different from say Warner Bros. now owning the pre 1986 MGM library. Warner Bros. owns all the prints, negatives, tapes sent to TV stations that show the films, etc. That stuff is not owned by MGM...

I think the heirs do now own the first five seasons of the show. Why would you think it is just distribution rights? I think this is no different than Bob Hope, Bing Crosby. and Alfred Hitchcock acquiring the ownership of certain of their films several years after their release or CBS, the...

I would also assume that Sony would not spend money restoring a series they knew they were going to lose the rights to. I think whatever season 4 looks like we have the estates to praise or blame. I am sure they just received the prints, negatives, and tapes from Sony in whatever condition they...

I read on another board that the ownership of the first five seasons reverted to the estates of Donna Reed and Tony Owen in 2008. That was the show's 50th Anniversary. The original contract for the show was for 5 years. At the end of the 5th season Donna Reed wanted to end the show as she felt...

I would be surprised if music rights were the reason Season 4 was withheld from syndication. Music rights did not become an issue for older shows until home video. Rights to music in TV shows were only cleared for broadcast. The idea that the shows would someday be available for purchase was not...

Was season 4 ever syndicated ? I know it was not included in the Nick At Nite airings. How about on ABC Daytime or on local stations after that. In the old days before shows were put on video tape the local station showed 16 MM prints. They were shipped local station to local station and often...

I wonder if music rights has anything to do with Season 4 not being released. If they couldn't get the rights to "Johnny Angel" and other music used in this season it might not have been worth releasing. If the songs had to be cut fans would have been angry. If the songs were kept and paid for...
