Family favorite for years. I am hoping it will come on DVD., 18 February 2004
Author: (btourville@qnet.com) from Llano, CA

I have this on tape (from the TV) and hoping it will come out on DVD or VHS. I lucked out one day and taped it. I have never seen it shown since. My tape is wearing out. Help! It is a great comedy and can be enjoyed over and over again.
