Petition for 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD


Hello everyone. Next year marks 20 years of "Funny Farm". Why not start a petition to Warner Brothers for a 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD.
There is only a bare bones full screen DVD. Edition could include a anamorphic widescreen transfer, trailers, perhaps a crew / writer / cast commentary since the director is dead or new interviews with Chase, etc. also a making of featurette, deleted scenes if any, and a blooper / outtake reel. What are other peoples takes on this?

Count me in.
The original 1999 DVD release is Full Frame and is in desperate need of a new anamorphic widescreen transfer. This is a great movie and deserves the royal treatment. I've seen movies that are a lot older and made a lot less money get crisp beautiful dvd transfers. What is Warner bros. waiting for? Funny Farm is a winner!

"Why not start a petition to Warner Brothers for a 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD."

Because petitions to studios, and online petitions for any topic are a complete waste of time and effort. Studios, politicians and so forth completely ignore them because signers are non-verifiable and unquantifiable. Anyone can logon and vote, and vote repeatedly. The only reason online petition sites exist is to gather valid email addresses that they can then sell to email advertisers, vendors and so forth - better known as spammers...

Maybe when Chevy Chase gets a new appreciation for his work ("Community" is a nice first step) WB will unleash a box set with new transfers.
