The Lassie Problem: Where are the DVD’s?

NOTE: This post is highly speculative, and may prove to be factually incorrect, and if I find out that it is, I’ll either edit it or remove it. This is not a research piece, only hypothetical conclusions that I’ve drawn from personal perceptions. 

Who doesn’t know who Lassie is? Even young kids today will be familiar with the famed border collie of classic television. But look around at your grandparents’ house for DVD’s or VHS’s, and you’ll find few to none. And the same goes for anybody else’s collection of physical media as well. There are no full seasons of Lassie for sale. But, being that the show ran for nineteen years, why on earth wouldn’t a company cash in on this gold mine? Well, let’s look at it.

Letting Spookiness Simmer: Night Gallery (TV Showcase #88)

Okay, well, the moral of watching this show is not to stream using Peacock. Sure, it’s all free, but not only does it have more ads than Hulu and Prime combined on every episode, but the episodes were so disorganised, often I would find multiple edited together, and a couple of them are even mislabeled. So yeah, it’s free, but it’s also NBC; there is such a thing as the brand looking good. But this series was worth the extra effort for me, because I’ve been wanting to see it for ages, and I’m only too happy to now be checking this one off. Let’s head into our spooky exhibition as we look at “Night Gallery”.
