Tom Hanks bought the rights to this horrible TV show, so nobody could see it again. As he career took off he viewed this sitcom as an embarrassment. He bought the rights to eliminate any possibility of this entering syndication or DVD.
I'm watching a very funny episode now, with Peter Scolari's Henry doing a great Columbo impersonation! It's a very cute take on "The Sting".
So, watch for it on MeTV if you get this amazing channel in your area. Next up are two episodes of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" then, later, "Columbo"!

"Oh Thank you God! Thank you so BLOODY much!" Basil Fawlty
This sounds like an urban legend. Much like the ones about Bill Cosby buying the rights to The Little Rascals because he thought it was racist or Ted Turner buying the rights to The Dukes of Hazzard because he thought it was a poor depiction of southerners. Both are not true.
