Dom DeLuise's Lotsa Luck is out on DVD. So is Good Morning, World. So is Nowhere Man and Have Gun, Will Travel and even Mister Peepers. None of these shows are currently rerun on TV channels as far as I know. If people are willing to shell out good money to own all of them, don't you think someone would watch them once a day for free?Hey, if they're reviving obscure 40-year-old sitcoms, maybe there's some hope for a DVD release of He and She, featuring Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss.
Benjamin played the creator of the superhero, Jetman; Prentiss was his wife; Hamilton Camp was a fireman who was stationed in the building next door to Benjamin's studio; and Jack Cassidy played the unbelievably vain actor who played Jetman on TV. (The character was clearly a model for Ted Knight's portrayal of Ted Baxter a few years later.)
The show was a big favorite of my mother's, and she was so annoyed when it was cancelled that she actually was moved to write CBS in protest. (She got a polite letter in response.)
