Need to find these

I have someone so interested in having some of these series. I need to find them to purchase singly instead of as a whole series. Is there anywhere to get these just one by one?

Newhart~~~ the entire series on DVD

I understand whoever owns this series will not release more than season one....What's the deal?

Newhart - "What's the deal?"

Previous post:
"I understand whoever owns this series will not release more than season one....What's the deal?"

My guess is that "News" Corporation (Rupert Murdoch) is making more money re-running the series on WGN.

The opening credits with a car driving through reminds me of Murphys, Ca. Is it really in Vermont?

Newharts complete eight season series (Vermont)

Just purchased this from a company who has them sent out from Shanghai. We were unable to watch them. They would not play on any of the four DVD players that we tried, and not on the computer either. We paid over $80 for this set, and they will not give us our money back. Does anyone know what you can do in a situation like this? We purchased them online. It appears that the DVD's have a photo label on them, but nothing else.

Newharts complete eight season series (vermont)

I just entered the story of the DVD's coming from Shanghai and none of them worked, I would like to add, that they were purchased online from a company in the United States, and we were told that the DVD's play on all DVD players in the World.

Newhart

We have also purchased the complete set as a gift, upon the recipent opening, discovered that the set was incomplete, but she wanted to view them anyway, but the difficulty trying to get the 1st dvd to play is unacceptable !
Thinking it could possibly be the dvd player, we have tried it in 3 others, the same problems are prominent throughout the first show, we cannot seem to get any further than that and that is a major challenge to view ! This company has NOT responded to emails regarding the purchase and should be removed and closed down
from the internet. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY !

Bob Newhart Show

Does anyone know what episode in the Bob Newhart Show did Stephanie have trouble sleeping because of birds singing in the trees outside her bedroom window in the early mornings. She ended up throwing a shoe at the bird and killed it and spent the rest of the show trying not to feel guilty. A great episode and would like to buy what ever edition this episode it is on. Look forward to hearing your suggestions. Thank you. Jeanni

Newhart episode

The episode is called "Still the Beavers"
where George begins his own lodge after taking Dick's advice and quitting the Beaver lodge when he is cheated out of a prize in which he rightfully won. The songbird is is a subplot - having killed the songbird Stephanie is worried about being caught and tries to dispose of the shoe, but it keeps getting found and returned to her. Hilarious. I have this particular episode from the airing but I wish they would release more on DVD.

NEWHART COMPLETE SERIES DVD issues....

So far they have worked for me on "2" of my DVD players... Where they come from should not matter, they are without region, and therefore not limited in playability. If it didn't work on 4 of your dvd players, perhaps you should consider investing in new DVD players. $99 for all 8 seasons ain't so bad when you consider they are unavailable otherwise.

RESPONSE TO #16 JEANNI O

The episode you describe is #10 in Season 4 subtitled: "Still the Beavers"
