#31 Sometimes You CAN Please All the People ...

As of March 30th, Universal Studios announced what they planned to do with "Amsterdam Kill," the episode with an identity problem (produced in Season 10, aired in Season 11). According to an article written by David Lambert at TVShowsOnDVD.com, Universal received a lot of responses to their request for fans to weigh in, and the opinions were fairly evenly split between putting in on the 10th or 11th DVD sets. What they ended up doing surprised (and impressed) me: they put it in both seasons. Amazing! It's added as a bonus episode to the Season 10 set, so for folks who feel its place in the production order is important, there it is. It's also going to be the second episode of the Season 11 set, so for those folks who value air date order, there it is. In my wildest dreams I didn't expect them to do something that would make everybody happy, but they did.

Thanks to everyone who responded to Universal's request for feedback - now that they realize we're still out there (and we still care), hopefully our opinions will be sought for future enterprises as well.

Speaking of which ... I wonder if they've given any thought to re-issuing the four MSW movies on DVD?

What a great idea!

 And because it is, I went back to that link and sent Mr. Lacey a "thank you" for listening to the fans and suggesting that the 2-hr movies be released either as a bonus set or as part of Season 12. Will keep you posted on his response.

Gord Lacey's reply:

He expects the 2-hr Murder, She Wrote movies to be released separately from the 12 seasons, like the Columbo movies have been.

Thank you for the update.

I too wondered if the movies could be released on thier own, as a set or as a bonus with the last few seasons. I would cherish a copy of the movies.
