Review(s): DVD The Beverly Hillbillies/Petticoat Junction Christmas Collection
This must be why the other collections are missing the Christmas episodes!!
Although I will certainly buy this collection of Christmas episodes from The Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction, it would probably have been easier and less confusing if MPI Home Video had just included them in their other, regular collections of the shows to begin with!! At least that way they would have been releasing the shows in their proper order and people wouldn't be thinking the collections are incomplete!!

It's about time!!I have been intrigued with this series most of my life..Even though I was only 9 months old when the series began, I did get to see the color episodes toward the end of Petticoat's run on CBS. Turns out I was hooked and in love with the Hooterville "Cannonball". So imagine my excitement when this collection of B&W episodes became available with the orignal theme song(what a tune!!). I was like a kid at Christmas! I bought the Columbia House vhs collection some years ago and was only exposed to several of the classic B&W's. Oh.. how I longed to see the others. Now,thanks to MPI it has become a reality and a beginning of sorts to bring back the best of Petticoat Junction!! I can truly say..a job well done! I hope the sales of this collection prompts the release of the... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Bea Benaderet DVD Release Date: Released the 30 August 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

All of the criticisms pointed out in previous postings are true: no, this set does not contain the complete first season; yes, they should have included the Christmas episode; yes, the sound and picture quality could be better; yes, they should have indexed the times of each episode individually instead of running them all together; yes, it would seem that a DVD set that has the apparent support of someone as important (not to mention as fabulously beautiful) as our beloved Linda Kaye Henning probably should not contain these flaws.
Nevertheless, this set is worth every penny for two reasons: 1. all the episodes are (at least as near as I can tell) COMPLETE and unedited, to include the "third" verse of the opening credits where they plug the "sponsor of the week", and, 2....

My stars! The first, and perhaps most magical, season of Bewitched still casts an enchanting spell. For escapist fantasy, this series, no doubt inspired by the play Bell, Book and Candle, broke significant television ground. The Stephens were sitcoms' first mixed marriage. Advertising executive Darrin Stephens (Dick York) was mortal, and wife Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) was a witch. According to a retrospective segment included on this four-disc set, the Stephenses were also the first couple to sleep in one bed! And Samantha's mother, Endora (the venerable Agnes Morehead), and father, Maurice (Maurice Evans, most popularly known as Dr. Zaius in the original Planet of the Apes, were TV's first separated couple. Surely, Darrin did for advertising what Dick Van... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Elizabeth Montgomery DVD Release Date: Released the 21 June 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

The Andy Griffith Show hit its stride during its third season (1962-63), admirably restored in this five-disc, 32-episode boxed set. Andy Griffith perfects his levelheaded Sheriff Andy Taylor; Don Knotts is unsurpassed as the comically neurotic Barney Fife; and Ron Howard continues his legendary run as earnest Opie. The season opens with the endearing episode "Mr. McBeevee," Opie's friend in the trees who Andy believes to be a figment of his son's imagination. From there, every disc contains renowned classics, such as "Floyd, the Gay Deceiver" starring the dashing Howard McNear; "Andy and Opie, Bachelors" offering some of the season's greatest quips; and "The Darlings Are Coming," that crazy clan of mountain musicians including the overtly flirtatious Charlene. The season is... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Gary Nelson - John Rich - Lawrence Dobkin - Aaron Ruben - Theodore J.
