any status update? Was rumored a while back.
I think Petticoat has a lot worse chances of being continued since season 4 and up are full of songs that will make it a music clearance nightmare. But I sure would love to see both shows completed.The remastered season 1 release pnly appeared at the end of April of this year.
So I'd say you have a decent wait ahead before you're likely to hear about season 5 in 2017, if it's indeed in the works (rmw650 talks as if he has an direct inside connection, so that's not promising). They're only now announcing stuff for February and I can't see them putting this out before spring at the earliest.
I hope they're working on season 4 of Petticoat Junction.
At this point is CBS releasing any old shows on DVD other than repackages ?
The Syndication Bible doesn't show S1 as available for syndication in HD, yet we obviously know HD masters exist. If they are indeed future proofing their catalog as many have suggested, why not show S1 as available. Count me confused!
It seems like CBS is gradually re-mastering many of it's old shows. I don't have access to a list of what's been completed . Maybe someone else reading this does and can post it . In the meantime , if they just released Our Miss Brooks and and the rest of Beverley Hillbillies I'd be happy.Sadly. what's been remastered for this one and most others that don't have their full runs out on DVD, have already been released.
Is there much more than Our Miss Brooks that CBS has remastered but not brought to market?
RMW650 thanks for the post . I have 2 of the DVDs you show, but I'm still hoping for a compete box set on Our Miss Brooks and while I'm fantasizing , Life Of Riley would be nice too!!Lou, this is the only thing I am seeing in regards to a "new" release of the BH and a link or two as to what's available for Our Miss Brooks respectively...(show airs at 4 AM CT on ME-TV)

The latter two seem to be public domain titles but that's all that is out for these two shows as of late.

I was at Walmart today looking for the Westerner (which naturally they didn't have.) I noticed a box set : the Beverley Hillbillies Seasons 1-4, and also a box set Petticoat Junction Seasons 1-3 . I'm not sure if this means CBS is done releasing these shows and not to expect further seasons . I hope not .
Hi Richard . The 2 boxsets I saw at Walmart weren't bundled sets . They were actually consistent with the new plastic boxes that CBS has been using recently to collect entire shows - like the one that Star Trek now comes in . These ARE Walmart exclusives , so it's always possible that the sets are composed of old stock repackaged .Lou, call me Richard and I think Walmart is probably doing that to remove whatever excess inventory they have left in their warehouse and selling it at a cost that is attractive to customers, just my opinion and hence their bundling option.
Now regarding Our Miss Brooks, i could have sworn I saw a new listing for that title but then it disappeared most recently.
Other than those cheap bootleg versions being made available online, that's as close as we've gotten to any kind of a standard DVD release of this show, along with The Life of Riley, so for now, that DVD set i directed you to would have to do for now.
ME-TV airs this show (Brooks) in the wee morning hours of the morning on a daily basis.
That one statement is why I have a *physical* collection and likely the statement that's fostered those of most of this forum's members. It's also why I own thousands of CDs (and records prior to that... OK... I still own the records too but don't play them as much).Ya know, I just thought those shows would always be there.
