MPI Home Video News; Day 1, For 3 Day Sony TV on DVD Feature

MPI Home Video is probably one of the best TV on DVD companies out there. They have released nearly every set they have put out with tons and tons of added value (bonus material). They have released a lot of '60s gems such as Doris Day, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and more. And we brought you news that they will be releasing Family Affair and The Color Honeymooners in 2006. But guess what? They have more sets coming out! They will be releasing Volume 2 of The Beverly Hillbillies on February 28. I think that might be all for MPI in terms of the Hillbillies. Only Paramount has the rights to the rest of the series. The question is whether they will continue where MPI left off or just start from the beginning? Or not release the show at all? I just hope Paramount gives MPI the rest of the series, because they have done such a good job. I don't think MPI has rights to any more Petticoat Junction episodes either. And in more MPI news, they have told me that two more TV series are in the works for DVD in 2006. They have not told me which yet, so please be patient until it is officially announced and I'm sure TVShowsonDVD.com will have that as soon as it is available. It has gotten me thinking though on what could it be. Could one of them be My Three Sons, since they like releasing '60s sitcoms?

Remember our four day Paramount TV on DVD news feature last month? Well, now I have a three day Sony TV on DVD news feature this month. For Sony, the news I have are for all returning series on DVD. The first one up is not a sitcom, but is very popular. Party of Five - The Complete Second Season is finally coming to DVD on December 20 after a long long wait that spanned more than a year and half. TVShowsonDVD.com should have full information later today when Sony announces it. Stay tuned in the next two days for two sitcoms that will have subsequent releases on DVD in January 2006. You will not be disappointed, I'm sure!
