[78-L] So what? was Re: Warner Home Video to release Shorts via Archive Series

[David Lennick]

I did in fact see your expressed hope that there'd be Vitaphones and other 
interesting stuff. Let's hope so..but given the lack of interest in continuing 
many other series such as SCTV, Mary Tyler Moore and others beyond the first 
couple of volumes, I ain't gonna bet the mortgage that we'll ever see anything 
beyond the surefire stuff..which as I say bored me 50 years ago and won't get 
me into the video store today. As a matter of fact, twice recently I've had 20% 
coupons to use at Barnes and Noble and been unable to find ANYTHING I wanted 
(or couldn't find much cheaper online, but that's another story).

But if sales are not great there is no reason for WHV to go to effort to release them. And IMHO not all are worth getting. But a few are must haves. I posted my recommedations a few weeks ago. So they should be supported. Anyway, my sources say that a Vitaphone disc might be coming soon. But, no, I didn't get excited about the Our Gangs. But there are Our Gang collectors out there so they are testing the waters.
