I wasn't aware that it had not yet made it to DVD. I wonder what the hold up was?

Awesome news man |

Whoo-hoo! Finally! They played it on a retro channel here for quite some time now, but it's been replaced with other old shows so it's not on anymore. Thanks for sharing the news!
Guess who's back? No really...GUESS, GAWD DAMMIT.
(Thanks for editing my signature...whoever had the power to do so lol). |

Here is much more detail regarding the reasons for the holdup.
It's interesting, but in summary, the show was originally produced in such a way that various parties had rights in this way or that. Getting the rights consolidated to make home video release possible was a lengthy legal process. Eventually, it was just Fox and Warners duking it out. And of course, there's some little guys who got the ball rolling, and who will get no recognition from the corporates. |

I think I saw an infomercial for the DVDs recently.

It's about time too. That show is a staple of midcentury pop culture. The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.
