Lately Universal has been wonderful on releasing there shows on dvd (example: Kudos to the company for bringing Miami Vice to the format) But one example of a bad idea is that they have not intended on finishing this show. Hopefully we can find enough people that would be willing to help them finish this and keep going with the wonderful job of all the other shows they are releasing. A possibility I think would be to sell the rights to another company say A & E or Image entertainment to finish it. For fans of TV Shows on DVD and collectors this is quite a present for them to finish for us. So Please vote or complain to them so we can have the entire series.

Thanks!!!

I'm disappointed that Baretta didn't continue. Another great 70s cop show, S.W.A.T. didn't complete either and it only had one other season! I feel Baretta was released capitalizing on Blake's murder trial more than it what it should've been released for...it's a great influential cop show. I hope they pick it back up, but it doesn't look good. I think the same about S.W.A.T. I hope Barney Miller continues as well because it's been a looong time since the Season 1 release. A lot of these shows get season 1 sets as a tester and if they don't sell well they may not continue. Apparently NYPD Blue sets didn't sell well which I was kind of surprised by and there's a stall being unclear if Season 3 and beyond will appear. Especially puzzling when much lesser shows like CSI and all those Law & Order spin offs fly onto DVD. Then again, the Jeffersons season 2 came out long ago and Season 3 was just announced this year so keep hope alive for your favorite shows. It definitely doesn't hurt to write someone or sign an online petition if you can find one!

Or they'll have to sell well

Don't be ridiculous.Besides it was proven in a court of law by 12 jurous that Robert never killed Bonny.

If you go to the shoutfactory.com website and complain to them,like I did about Baretta,and ask them to contuinue where Universal left off of the show,and post it on their board,you just may get some results back posted.If there is enough people complaining and posting that should do the trick.After all it worked with Simon & Simon just recently.Enough fans complained and shoutfactory listened and went ahead to release the second season of Simon & Simon which is where Universal left off with the series.
